  2. Good God!!???! What short timer!!!!

    Does anyone remember when Van T was a Psycho Analysts in Glandale California? Anyone...anyone????

    It appears obvious that the average age of Elite (Guffaw Guffaw) Trader is about 26?

    He is hardly the trading guru. This guy is NOT the trading master! Just ask for ANY result from the guy. Or ask about his background.

    Sorry to burst your cherry.

  3. Oh, you didn't. But I was thanking Daal for posting the Tharp book, anyway. Tharp has admitted he is no trader. Just because someone is no trader doesn't mean the person is of no value, however.

    As I remember since he had some incidents involving one of his personal friend fucking up a hedge fund with his money on he started to position trade.
    Yeah, he was stupid. but I can really blame him too much, cheaters, liars and this kind of people are everywhere. You just cant never tell.

    Trader,

    Most good traders only require the IDEA. Newbies and Pikers need their hands held indefinetly by these "mentors in a chatroom." They will never really be traders because as soon as what was taught to them stops working, they are back in a chatroom begging for more hand holding.

    BTW, Were you in GE/HON ?

    Actually, that's not quite true. He does owe something to those who contract for his services. But as to Optional and "Bruce", he doesn't owe them diddley.

    Spot on. Most people want to know what set ups they should be using. This is not the question. Setups change and when they do, just as you said they are back looking for another or they go broke holding on to what is "broken". Those who take the time to understand the concepts behind a setup though are the ones who will be successful for years and years.
