FWIW Kullamagi list Dan Zanger and Pradeep Bonde as his 2 major influences,the traders he learnt from.
%% Good links. Dropping out of college\ most likely helped more than any patterns like ''cup with handle '' which he noted LOL Oh ,he was not an IBD hater?? Its also noted he had a world record, not many of those. Fun read ; thanks. Kimberly Rhode did Olympic champ in shotgun shooting 6 times . That's hard, because you cant be to fast + you cant be to slow. No bull markets catch Up there. Many more made millions on contracting business [edit +prospered in small business] than trading single stocks.
From memory KQ first read O'Neil's Canc!Iim, then learnt from Pradeep Bonde and one other Dude I can't remember his name. KQ was also listed as a Strategist for a Fund/Website, when I checked awhile ago.
No. I think that the Robbins Cup is the only credible competition. The reason is that participants MUST use one of their selected brokers, and when you sign up, you agree to allow Robbins to receive a copy of your monthly account statement directly from the broker.
When I decided to enter, I thought about World Cup, but because they force you to go with the sponsored brokers, I decided to go with US Investing. Just not willing to switch brokers and having to pay 30% more in commission (Ironbeam vs AMP). Plus like @Darc days, USIC is way more promoted than World Cup (business insider, bloomberg, yahoo finance, forbes, etc.). Plus previous market wizards participated in the same competition. It's been going on since the 80s! If anything, you're paying few hundred for the publicity at least lol.
Can you post his audited track record here, please. Ernst and Young, PwC, Deloitte, or KPMG all work just fine. Not talking about Zanger.
Do you have access to the audited track record of ANY SINGLE retail trader (aside Zanger, who made his fortune when there were still tons of exploitable edges) operation and is not listed and audited anyway? If not, then what do you base your trust in those claims?
