    Exactly. So I take what you say with a huge grain of salt as I do with any other content. Certainly would I not shell out 110 dollars for a book of yours unless I had some better ideas about how you professionally perform. Why should I?

  2. All finance types who actually work in the industry can't trade. They are lucky if they can generate 6% a year trading their own account.

    They may look intelligent, sound intelligent, smell intelligent, stand intelligent -- but they can't trade for their lives.

  3. don't tell me, show me his audited track record...
    and a trade room is the opposite of a book salesman.

  4. books are obsolete before the ink dries. You can trade or write books and be a book salesman, like Al Brooks

    Bad once are. For the sake of staying on topic - Howard Bandy and Lauren Bensdorp have still performing trading systems in their books published years ago. I haven’t read Rob’s books only skimmed thru, but spoken with couple of people here who based their trading entirely on his systems laid out there and are satisfied with results.

    Neither demeanour or track record alone lands credibility in my book. Occasionally, few bits of unrelated information together create a high probability that I found a gem of a person worth listening to on a subject. Often it takes years to get to that point, as forward testing of their ideas is the best judge.

  6. Apparently I've been doing the impossible for decades. Thanks for the ego bump.

    I guess it depends on if one believes what he writes about himself.

  8. writing is just words, and words suffer from the weakness of words - insstead show me his track record, not where to find it.

    Hey ph1l, ValeryN, and other codemeisters, (that excludes me) good to see you chime in.
    I have non-urgent question, gratitude, and patience, lol.

    For a noob non-coder phase, any example strategies' profitability seems subordinate to a
    foundation of methods that can be modified by a motivated newbie and result in functional tools
    alongside picking up some Python foundation.
    If the attached marketing sheet accomplishes its intent, then for that foundational phase, from
    starting out, to gearing up, to setting up and running a couple of modified scripts, profitable or not, how long would you think something like that process might take, Ballpark range? a year, 3 years, more?

    Thank you
