if it had gone wrong, where would you have exited? i know your hard stop was at 1995, but i assume you would have exited before that.
I know man, but if you saw what I saw you'd understand why I copy his trades! He's the best I've ever seen in my many years online by a country mile. It's like he can see the future. I'm obviously still trying to learn but it's been about 6 years of 10 hour days reading and practising and taking my own trades and my own results still look random to me . For all I know, it might take me another 10-15 years before I learn, and I need to make some money in the mean time!
You don't need to be copying his trades you need to be picking his brain on *why* he took those trades. Right now you're compelled by the potential monetary gain from the trades when you should be compelled by the potential intellectual and strategic gain from the trades. Forget about the money.
Unfortunately, he won't divulge. All I know is that he has mentioned that charts/TA aren't enough to give a *real* edge. I also don't even think he's starring at the DOM/Time+sales screens, based on the way that he calls some of his trades in such foresight.He was a bank trader. Maybe he has some inside contacts just telling HIM where to trade for all I know! lol
