I am here because I want to prove that you can still teach an old dog (me) new tricks. Just an old dog, not yet a deaddog.
You can't teach a deaddog anything. I'm pretty set in my ways. But you can almost be sure that dead follows old. Don't take life to seriously; nobody gets out alive!!
By no way am I a mentor but I too had the same issues of being alone and that's why I started a Skype group that has a few guys in it. I talk on the phone with them from time to time and we hit ideas and support of each other. Sucks to be alone but it's a lonely profession.
"Be careful out there, and always do your due diligence on anyone who charges to be a "Mentor". I exposed a major conman here. Someone who claimed to be managing, and trading 100's of billions of dollars. He was able to completely FOOL the CME, and Interactive Brokers!!! https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/tim-morge-and-the-well-chosen-example.305061/page-23 About a year later, he dismissed his "partner", later relabeled an "employee", of 20+ years, Shane Blankenship (a recent bankrupt), to pocket his fees. I then knew Timothy Morge was broke. He is now trying every trick in the book to stay alive: https://marketgeometry.com/blog/tim-draws And the Pandemic was the final nail on this fraudster's coffin. No one is going to pay $500+ a month, for a confirmed liar. There is NO Queen Elizabeth, NO Fighter Jet flights from Arizona to London, NO MI6 protecting him, NO 100+ Billion dollar sovereign wealth hedge fund. It's all LIES " Hi @SimpleMeLike, I was just going through some old threads. Only 10 days after your post, Timothy Morge "suddendly died". That last year of his life must have been pretty rough. From holding live webinars at Interactive Brokers with Cynthia Tomain, sponsored/presented by the CME with Barbara Schmidt-Bailey, with 200-300 attendees, to NOTHING. He ended up hosting free webinars on his own website, in August 2020, on Fridays. On the third free seminar, he suddenly died. Get this, his students who had deposited tens of thousands of dollars were told to contact a "lawyer" who never answered them at all. They were told that Timothy Morge had not placed a live trade in a decade, and that his sovereign wealth fund had less than $4K in total assets. A year passed, enough for any type of (civil) lawsuit attempt to expire... Suddenly, and free from anything, his home is now conveniently for sale!!! https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2405-N-Williamson-Valley-Rd-Prescott-AZ-86305/8737965_zpid/ One million bucks, derived from ripping people off, and scamming all the way (using & manipulating IB/CME). If you look over the photos of the house, you can see his "sovereign wealth fund/offshore hedge fund office". His whole "education/giving back scheme" was conducted with his wife around him the entire time! She knew he was lying, and making up stories the entire time. And now she (Jeanne P. Morge) is cashing out... Hi Jeanne Morge! Nice poster in the background of yours and your husband's fake hedge fund (Blackthorne Capital/Sovereign Wealth...):
Thank you for sharing sir. It is very sad because inspiring traders was trying their best to learn from him. Question: How was he fake trading? Was he trading in SIM mode? Thanks
He cherry picked examples AFTER the fact. He would look for specific trades, spin some incredible story with 8 brokers executing multi-billion dollar orders, and always WIN (and that was the MAIN content of his "education"), but it was ALL lies. He never showed a real-time trade, ever. With Interactive Brokers/CME fully backing him since 2007, the stories got more elaborate in his webinars, and he was able to increase his mentoring fees ($4,000 for 16 sessions around 2008-2009, to $25,000 for 12 sessions in 2016!)... Let's just say the last 10 years of his life were not even SIM, as he simply looked for trades with fairy tale endings. But the money he charged was very real, and the people that he absolutely used were also victims (IB/CME)...
