I think the confusion came from the fact that Ravar/Veyron/Hosea/whoever used a nick here that happened to be very similar to what that no nonsense guy was using online several years ago....
There is a watermark on that "white paper" garbage. It reads "SharpeTrade" and behold, they had a website. https://web.archive.org/web/20150509122051/http://www.sharpetrade.com/ Here's the youtube. "Dan Shy" is either the Hosea character or associated.

If you go back to raVar's very first post: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...ns-useful-not-risk.294748/page-4#post-4930980 It is abundantly, 100%, clear that he is FOS and a low-end grifter. Yet ET posters who seem reasonably intelligent liked that and subsequent posts, gave him positive feedback, and engaged with this con man. Sig, Dealmaker, and Globalarbtrader liked that first, mostly nonsense mixed with bullshit, post. Many other, actual legitimately professional (e.g. Dinn13, Bone, etc...) essentially welcomed this ersatz "pro" to the forum. WTF???!! I am completely mystified by this. What prevents anyone with over a room-temperature IQ from seeing through raVar's logarrheic, bizarrely formatted, twaddle?
"Dan Shy" and his white paper. It was clear from that first post. I don't get it. Here he is trading 40 shares of Ford.
Talk about a cluster of a journal. But I looked back on that thread dest posted about Veyron... https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...that-shows-profit.337303/page-12#post-4959340 ..."Well, I've blown out MANY demo accounts on hookers, ideas, theories, thoughts, late-night wake moments at 2am with the Aha! Moment and ever other kind of mental exercise that I could wrap my brain around. ...You don't even understand what you are doing in this business, if you have not yet blown out dozens of demo accounts plowing through all the idea that don't work, while crystallizing the ideas that do work, into a cohesive trading system that's reliable.(what demo number are we on now 8â¦12â¦34⦠lol!!)..." I was not on this forum when the above-quoted thread was posted and doing it's jig, but I can SWEAR I have seen the bolded-bit above posted, almost verbatim, in a recent thread somewhere around here. (read, within the past year.) *shrugs* Just an oddity. And notice this has to do with options. I'm telling you, futures are more sane. Mostly.
I had thought that RaVar was a Nodoji type person. A true believer and small-time education seller. But this keeps getting crazier and crazier with all the aliases and websites. I love the Sharpe Trade headline "The best friend you will ever have in trading" LOL!
