    I trade the stuff. I am ok with questions and constructive criticism, but I am not sharing my account number to prove a point. Regardless, I could post my work-run here as my own but I'd never do that.

    The mids are shown in R/T per the competition. I will post my timestamp in a follow-up.

  4. Thanks for posting your trades & analysis, Dest.
    I have taken notes on most of your trading, especially concerning your approach & methodology, yes, going back to FatTail also.
    I owe you a shot (or smear) of COQ10 dissolved in coconut oil, or whatever your pleasure would be.
    cheers

  6. Every once and a while I go back and dig through the old stuff there using the wayback machine. Wish I had found it sooner before it went inactive.

    Edit: Actually, des, pretty sure you threw me a couple bones there back in the day. You've been dishing out free educations for a long ass time now.

    Good for me that I saved a lot of stuff using OneNote because at the time I couldn't understand what the guys were talking about - this is around 2006-07 period and now when I read the stuff, sometimes it looks amateurish - the trading part, not the options stuff. Same can be said about Neoticker forums, there were absolute gems there but they shut down the development and the forum. Even on ET in the old days there was good content, now it's just not the same, maybe I dont look around but I am done with research, just happy watching the bots run.

  8. Yep, there were definitely enough crumbs being thrown around to get a solid head start on some decent edges. Pretty uncommon these days, although I definitely benefit from what gets shared on the tech side of things. I want to say that I heard somewhere (maybe a year ago?) that FT was coming back in some fashion but to my knowledge it never materialized. Too bad.

    (Sorry for the OT clutter in the journal. I'm done.)
