- In addition to being an accomplished actor, Keanu Reeves also seems like a really good person.
- His random acts of kindness include secretly donating large sums of money to children's hospitals.
- He also made headlines for treating women respectfully when he takes photos with them.”
everytime I see a pic of your dog I can’t tell if he’s a blanket or a dog.
So friggin cute.
Out of curiosity, what became of this guy and what prevented you from duplicating his success?
Reason I ask is that it would be the first time I ever heard of someone making consistent large returns day trading index futures using retail TA, so I’m wondering if the guy blew out or what happened.

Anyone with pattern recognizing skills should recognize similarities (like a fingerprint):
- autistic effort in bolding & italicizing text
- long-winded posts
- spends inordinately amount of time on FX (= piker)
- gullible, idolizes "gurus"

Do they have names?
I generally don't like to share information from private conversations, but since he's not identified here I assume it would be harmless to deliver some general information.
He lives on the east coast and would only trade 90 - 120 minutes prior to his day job. Very early on and while he was still trading he said his goal was to eventually quit trading and just put all his money into investments and index funds. And that's pretty much what he did.
He said something about how even after he became profitable day trading never gave him any sense of achievment and how he would experience it as meaningless - especially since it would happen that he neglected his family (he had children) in the mornings while day trading.
Regardless, one hell of a run. From what I can recall and from what he told me he basically used classical TA, but he did of course also have a lot of experience and seemed to be very disciplined to the point where he said there would be days he would skip as he anticipated they'd be narrow range days.
After a quick look, this guy just has shit all over his charts and punts basically. He doesn't mention anything about pricing options, using models, finding mispricings, arbs, etc.
