I suppose some people enjoy flying by getting involved via base jumping, hang gliding or microlights, but there are better ways of travelling from A to B.
I found him. 1978. I thought he started undergrad in '74. Two Brooks in the 70s. My apologies but the dude still can't trade.

Maybe you should dig further. Maybe he is not the real Brooks you are searching for. The real Brooks does not exist at all. He is AI Brooks (Arificial Intelligence Brooks). He just sits on a computer server in Singapore. This Brooks has been running those classes and writing the books that our friends depend on for their inspiration. Now that you got the hint, you can continue investigating from here.
Trading against the momentum and scaling into a loser and getting out at b/e Damn, I NEVER seen anyone do that before. This is eye opening stuff! Thanks!!
You can dig the internet to read about me if you could find that in your investigations. I don't need your approval. I trade for a living and that is enough for me. I don't consider trading as some kind of super human activity like some assume it on this site. Actually it is boring with several hours of no moves with frenzy of activity interspersed there in. I don't really need to search for Al Brooks or his education or his wife. I am looking to improve my trading results not from any books. I am working my own parameters and metrics. Whatever I had to learn from others I already learnt from the books. I trade 3 different instruments of which 2 are not scalable but provide regular monthly income. These don't need improvement. The other one is a wealth builder and it gave 30% per month for the last 18 months and I am multiplying that fund in a cumulative manner. This needs improvement because of intermittent frenzy that it causes. I do my research which is basically data collection and I am trying to understand the relationships between different data sets. I speak to old friends who are also traders on this research. I also swing trade select shares based on seasonality and this gives me 50% per year on my capital. Some shares I have been holding for more than 15 years which multiplied several times over. These shares give me dividend income. I took early retirement from my accounting practice. I come to this site for fun and entertainment. People like you keep this forum interesting with your conspiracy theories. What legit edge you are talking about? Trading is a very boring activity except for the research part. Execution is just boring.
