What degree/master/phd would be the best for a trader?

Actually, I heard from a good source the JH is the real deal.

it's just that he has a very eclectic domain knowledge that he has brought to the task of trading. From what I surmised from some of his posts, he may be ex military maybe "deep" intel or strategic work.

JH can you confirm without trying to kill me?

Just to cover some lose ends. My CV is rarely seen in its entirety by anyone.

My last dinner in the East was with two top ranking anti terrorist administrators. (Isereali and US). I more recently in the East worked out of EOP. EOP put strategists in the field as attache's to complete "fixes" gererated out of previously written "white papers". So my military clearance was a follow on from being an MTS at BTL while still in grad school. My father and brother both set of nuk weapons way above and way below ground level.

I am the one who took down the fence around the treasury Building on Wall Street. And most people know the family foundation is the one that put all the leasing plques on the buidling on and north of Wall St. (BEEKMAN FUND)

Since I do what I want; I am invited to contribute to solve difficult complex problems. In this process I wrote 31 books. use the suffix dot au to find author's titles.

I am an avid sportsman. Toys like racing yachts, gliders and 12 cycinder cars all cost over six digits. I owned US122, a GROB109 and the largest ever made BMW. I am a registered Swiss ski instructor And I was a rock climing instructor along side Kennedy's MD up along the quaker owned cliffs on the Hudson River.

Some of you may remember my exchanges with Gary Smith.; my best stock day exceeded his by a factor of about 2: it was 17 points net on 100,000 shares ending in the high 20's. I have posted 100 contract opening trades on consecutive days here. I made that sacrifice to have day to day continuity on calls for ech day.

I contribute here to help others. most people know the deal. ET is relatively new.

my era was that of Darvas, O'Neiil, etc.

In my career, the PC came into being quite late.

I believe the FI industry will catch up to where I am now just about when I turn 100; I am only 81 now.

In anything I do I become a winner. That means I am known and there is always the mystic. And no there will never be an autobiography. I'm not into the B of having to have the Fed's redact anything they prudishly think is not public information.

Life comes in two sizes: before and after a killiing in self defense. ET turns out to just be a humorous place. Here, most people are doing tells that explain just what they don't know what they don't know.
 
I figured out the military background alright!

PC may have come late, but I know your no slouch to using technology either. I wish you good health.

oh yeah the 600 and 700 series instruction for multiplication was prepeated additing and bi stable multivibrators (aand lock in relays in pairs) was where n-1 was invented.

the Mayan discontinuity shwoed us all how important reigion (and aleins) could be when it came to multiplication and the power series invention.

Does Gloria even know arithmetic rules are there cos they apply to coefficients of power series. LOL

I hope you could be mentally and physically healthy in the future LOL
 
I suppose it depends what you want to trade. I like to trade options, and find that my exposure to calculus is valuable. Not that you need to perform anything beyond arithmetic, but studying calculus gives you a feeling for nonlinearity and for variation in several variables at once. Stochastic processes (this is more in the financial engineering/statistics realm) would be nice for trading options, but optional.

However, none of that is really necessary. I could probably teach a slightly retarded person how to trade, as long as they could do enough arithmetic to implement money management and position sizing. In fact, they might perform better than a smart person, who would second-guess everything and think they know more than the systems or markets they are trading, as mentioned above.

Maybe the best training is military. I have no experience with the military, but I was raised in a very strict household and school system in which I had to do what I was told. So I know how to follow rules, though like most people, I only do that now when I have to. There are few situations in which following strict rules is a great idea. Maybe driving and trading are the best examples in civilian life.

this thread raised a question.

for a person to take the full offer of the market, he has to use his mind which is contained in the brain.

To go from your current status to being a wealthy trader, you have to effect a transition.

A shortcut to understanding my prior points is to read carefully about 20 to 30 pages.

Buy a paperback version of "Super Brain"

read the following pages:

4, 5 , 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 40, 41, 48, 49, 52, 53, 54, 55. 56, 57, 58, 59, 60.

For me, this development began in the 7th grade. where I succeeded in having the properly scored answers to all questions on an IQ test. Since I had no handicapped my parents required me to perform at top levels in everything.

in 2012, the above reference was published. I began to use the contents in 1945.

in 1951, I took a 12 hour battery to determine my forte's. My graphical result was flat across the spectrum on a line that had all the graphical space located below it.

The system of the market's operation is finite. There are 56 elements for this complete certain system of operation. All of the subsets of the elements follow a specific Order Of Events within the defined subset.

Any person can look at their past learning. in multiplication you learned the 9 times table which has 45 elements some of which are redundent.

56 algebraically defined elements are almost more difficult that the 45 elements of the 9 times table.

People in this thread do not know the system of operation of the market. That is because on page 5 you learned you just have a baseline brain and you DO NOT have a super brain. It has been your choice all your life. I made the opposite choice a half century BEFORE the names were published.

The system of operation of the markets was DEDUCED. The elements came into being by observing them in the market and defining them and then putting all the pieces togethe as a fully complete operating system. It was done by using a brain .

I have a brain I use my brain. I type PP1 is defined as three accelerating P1's.

You have a brain you type "subjective"

Let me double your finite math knowledge of the system of operation of the market.

Three consecutive T1's define the PP6 turn.

let me increase your knowledge by 33% more.

A measurable independent variable bar between a T2P and a T2F is a C Band Pess turn.

learning is very rapid huge percentages of knowledge accumulate most rapidly at the beginning.

A person can wake up. he can arise from a baseline brain level of existance. He can begin to actually THINK.

I bought a used '46 ford V-8 for 135 bucks. I took it apart and and changed the shape of some of the parts. then I tuned it up a little. Now it did things I wanted it to do. I could only get 6,000 miles on a set of tires and sometimes the pitman arm threads all got sheared off on a turn. Turn are important when driving a V-8. Now I have a master mechanic match the injectors on my V-12. th V-12 cost 110,000 dollars.
the GROB109 is attached, same price.
Either car cost the same amount of time to buy: a week's pay at that time.
