Is the Joe Ross that posts here once per week the same Joe Ross from trading educators? If its the same guy and anyone knows him, do they know if he is a successful trader? Or does he make all his money with pep talks and selling books?
I think it's the same guy. See this post by him: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29262 Then clink on the link at the end of the post and it takes you to his site with a photo of him. From the photo, he looks pretty old. I would guess he's retired.
I would love to see him start a journal, throw X amount of dollars in a trading account, post his trades, post a daily screen shot of his trading account and let us watch his account grow. Let's say he did that for EOD trades, would he be profitable?
