Spoke with padu on Skype for a bit. A nice fellow. We did not share screens or statements. He trades only FX, and if you did not guess, is from and lives in India. His accent in Hindi is very thick, so that is the toughest barrier. He seems to have worked hard to get the skills that he has in his FX trading, and his desire to help people seems genuine. He acknowledges that these markets are "nothing like he has ever seen in his 30 years of trading". I implored him to not insult people on the trading sections, and he admitted that it was a "heat of the moment" thing on getting that personal. Oh, and he uses his dog to sniff out the good people from the bad. Hehe. He's no dozu. *whew*
We’re not playing by the rules. Shortcuts are crowded. Short term profits is reinforcing bad behaviors. Often it leads to medium or longer term losses. We’re playing the wrong game. To win is different than to be profitable. If you want to understand the deepest malfunctions of systems, pay attention to the rules, and to who has power over them. - Donella Meadows
lol yes, he’s a real expert. Here’s @Handle123’s pitch to someone in a PM: This is what handle wrote to me - "Either yes or no. I tore my retinal and have diff surgery, so delay in my trip. Am offering teach scalp/runner sys, 4,000 upfront and 46k at 50% of new profits per month starting 2nd month if you are profitable. I am not offering to teach how to trade markets outside of this method."
