I have a question for anyone who has Ryan Jones' book entitled The Trading Game. My question is about a passage on page 86.

In the third paragraph he says "After having acquired . . ." Can anyone tell me where he got the following numbers in that paragraph: $100,000 in profits / trading 20 contracts / 4 years?

I have read this book thoroughly, and I cannot tie that paragraph to anything he discusses earlier. Any help would be much appreciated. :o

He likely pulled that from his system results.....not sure if that was real or hypothetical.
Anyway, his system fell apart during one of the trading contests and he lost face and never was heard from again.
P.S. I didn't think that was a great book either.

He's still around. He has (or had) some expensive software that's supposed to make it easy to design and test trading systems. His latest is some weekly covered call service. I opted out of his emails long ago, but still see his ads from other trading services.

I haven't heard or seen anything from him in at least 7 years. At one point early on I was in a chat room he set up. Like all the gurus, he would disappear, and then claim he was knocked off the internet everytime a trade went bad. I mean everytime, which was very often. His set ups were basic tech analysis that he probably read in a book and then sold as his own, seriously. My 2 cents, another scammer, and walk away as fast as possible from anything that ass clown puts out.
