lol the russian guy was the real deal. Ya sykes got all excited that he made 1k...lol and he says he runs a hedge fund? I'm sure anyone that was going to put serious money in his fund and saw this video is laughing now.
I hate to talk of Sykes, but he did not short sell his well his way to 2m, he bought like all the other sheeple, also he did this when many were doing the same. Dan Zanger started with less and ended up with 20 times as much as Sykes 3 million being actively managed is a brokerage account, not a hedge fund
Livermore & Gann; the best traders of all time? That's just like calling Amarillo Slim & Doyle Brunson the 'best' poker players of all time. A hundred years ago the patterns were MUCH simpler and the competition MUCH softer. These guys were great, sure- but they were playing a far easier game than the one that exists today. I'm sure the world's #1 top 17th century chess player got plenty of respect back then (before anyone really knew how to play), but put him against any modern day grandmaster, and the guy comes out looking like a scrub.
What do you expect? this is a public forum. Don't be too quick to criticize the wanna-be trader, you would have been in their shoes once upon a time.
