    I'm a day trader Mickey, I see what number is calling...most get ignored and if my car breaks down while I'm trading, I am not aware. BTW, I am single and can easily control my environment.

    You're promoting a snake oil salesman in an attempt to discredit snake oil salesmen. Kreil was a delta1 execution slave.

    The fact that you would promote the Kreil video shows that you have zero institutional experience beyond what sle alluded to; back office plebe at best.

  3. OK...you have sworn at me and attacked me in the past in this forum. I refer you to previous posts.

    1. I am not promoting Anton Kreil. Only linked to the video because I share some of his conclusions regarding the retail brokerage industry. It was an interesting video to share on this forum.
    2. In fact, ...once again...I will loop back..very clearly and using simple language as you always seem to misunderstand. I refer you to previous posts for more detail where I have covered this before.

    1. I am not a trainer or educator
    2. I am not selling anything - no books, no courses - nothing
    3. I worked in various roles in the financial services industry -mainly in front office, brokerage and portfolio management roles. Never back office.
    4. I was always successful and always made money. I did this to learn the industry from the inside out. Along the way I researched and interviewed informally countless people and learned what 'edge' individuals or businesses had.
    4. I do not know Anton Kreil and have absolutely no reason to be selling him or his services so.....

    logically and with pauses.....I ...am....not....'promoting'....him.

    In fact, in previous posts I encourage people not to pay for trader training at all unless the risk/reward is favourable compared to other investments such as property, med school, a CPA etc. The first step being the P&L of the trader.

    Using Kreil is analogous to being a Hitler apologist. You don't quote a fraudster to denounce fraudsters. I hear that Madoff threw a great party.

  5. cityboy12,

    Very good post.

    Everything you said is right.

    I will sum up like this.

    Trading is a lose game if you can't consistently make money.

    Every trader should be trading and investing for the retirement years.

    I choose to work a full time job and trade. win win situation.

  6. Actually, that could more sense for some people. A kind of 'side venture', perhaps swing trading on high conviction trades but ideally, investing not trading.

  7. You seem very emotional and use emotive characters like Hitler and Madoff to propose your point as well as the word 'fraud' with no evidence.

    Once again...looping back....I am not promoting Mr Kreil. I am not selling anything and have no interest in doing so. Based on my experience and research I simply agree with a lot of what he says about the industry in his presentation.

  8. Good comment Clubber.

    The other problem is people living well off trading, do not discuss it publicly.

    Emotive characters?

    You're either a fraud or a failure; or both. The fact that you can sit through that Kreil rubbish speaks more to your agenda than 240 posts to this absurd thread.

    Blocked.
