You guys so funny, but most likely cause am Autistic, my brain functions are different. I feel no emotions, don't feel love, hate, empathy, fear, no conscience but my subconscious does have rules to live and when violated I receive pain in some form. I often get frustrated at myself for not understanding humans.

From minute we are born, someone is trying to teach us, some we grasp and others less so. You pick up a book and it is the views of the author, but very few books offer how to make a living.

I lived in time period when you gave time, you expected to be paid. Same is true today. Most would never teach others for a few years on how to scalp or short term trading. Not everyone learns quickly, have to work through their pains and encourage them. Emotions I don't have but I understand failures, but failures allows humans to keep trying. My last student has gone through much, he is older and slower, and I did teach him one of my Holy Grails, he has done over 150 option trades and no losses. I have developed six Holy Grails and most automated, you spend lifetime in trading or another field, you wake up with focus.

Living with Asperger's, you prefer separation from people, having to be in group of people I get mental pain and anxiety. Simple don't understand much like insults never understood, people PM me saying so, I see it as loss of life by them and their brain is like 8 years old.

I will not take any more students in my life, am too old to want to spend so much time with them. I see trading as a boring job now, it has gotten too easy, same patterns, I have zero thoughts if one pattern better than brains opinion, I just take them. Student and I will trade together but at distance this week and when I have time. I seldom lose and I don't care if humans believe or not. I only care about the guy am mentoring.

I find too many humans give up too early, they refuse to think outside the box, I went into trading cause ultimate challenges and been fulfilled.

I wish all Happy Holidays, drive safe. Am flying to Washington to be with my fiancee, she "gets" me.

I think you, SmallFil and B1S2 should start a Hedgefund and name it Spectrum Capital.

You're describing psychopathy, not autism. Temple Grandin.

The irony is that frustration/consternation is an emotion. So he is not COMPLETELY inhuman. He's no Commander Data.

Why would someone who made fortunes in trading believe in real estate
More...

I don't see why they can't believe in real estate. If I made a fortune from trading, I'll definitely diversify into real estate.

why?

you think real estate is free money? If so, why not start now. It only takes 10k to buy a small house and rent it.

Thank you for your kind comments.

All my Asperger's buddies are just like me, most people don't understand us and give us Psy labels. It is difficult to have high Intelligence and have to live among common people, 97% of ET am sure fit this label.

Happy holidays

I like that one very much

Not sure what is the most difficult: Being an exception or being exceptional.

I'm likely pretty high on the Asperger scale. Will lose it over small issues, obsessive behavior, distress from crowded social situations etc. Yet I can empathize with a stray cat probably more than the average person.
