Reaver my good friend. How ya been? I usually stay out of this asshole's way on here. He is by far the biggest clown on ET, and honestly, the guys who run ET would be doing themselves(and everyone else) a big favor by removing this guy from their site. He is a conman. He lures unsuspecting new traders to his site and then bleeds em. A ways back I looked at his logs he posted on here. It was probably the worst trading advice/calls I have EVER seen. Claiming he is buying the Ym at lets say 10000....then selling em at 10008. Meanwhile his "students" are paying up to 08 when he is selling them. Then sometimes when a trade doesnt work out he will go back and say "the trade wasnt taken". WTF is that ? His risk reward is set at something like go long....offer them out 8-10 ticks higher, use a stop loss of 50 ticks. Brilliant...really. I wasnt gonna expose this idiot anymore than he has been...but the "Borsellino is the biggest trader in the SP's" comment deserved attention. I am still waiting for him to prove me wrong....he might need to invent a time machine to do that.
At least we have our own trading version of Milli Vanilli! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSqV3rWM4iQ
Hey man not doing too bad on my end up in NE FL (aka L.A...Lower Alabama ). Yeah I pretty much quit bothering with this moron too. But every once in a while he says something too absurd to ignore, as you have pointed out. He brags about supposedly having a plane, but no one stops to think that the money comes from his "trading" chat room, not actually trading. Borsellino tried his hand at being a mentor as well after he was washed up, if I remember correctly. I don't know a lot about the guy, but from what I hear his success was brought on by the fact he could fuck around with client orders and trade his own account at the same time. Basically the "edge" was not trading skills but rather order manipulation, front running, etc. Meanwhile Alex doesn't even realize this guy doesn't even trade anymore and makes a fool of himself by saying Borsellino is the biggest trader in the S&P pit. LOL My take on this whole concept is this: If someone is still dumb enough to fall for this shit PureTick and 99% of vendors pull...then their mind is not developed enough at this point to be a trader in the first place. If you can't put two and two together to see that this whole trading chat room business is 99% BS then you are not ready to trade the market. It's a barometer of sorts. I also noticed something very telling about this loser. A few months ago there were a few guys who said they were PureTick customers (Rockhoundnz was one) and attacked anyone who said anything negative about PureTick, etc....but I noticed that they have pretty much all vanished...that in and of itself is pretty telling, don't you agree? They talk shit on the forums, etc about how awesome Alex is, then a few months later (after spending a grand or two in subscriptions and probably blowing out their account) they are nowhere to be found. Hmmm. This dude Alex is a lying amorphous pile of steaming dogshit and the paragon of buffoonery. Oh, and don't hold your breath for Alex to step up to the plate and prove you wrong...but you already knew that.
Like I said..I normally dont bother with guys like this scam artist. He's not worth my time (or anyone else's on here). But the Borsellino thing was ridiculous. I would guess that since he is on here constantly stirring up shit, that his business is faltering. His trading methods are exactly the opposite that are preached by real mentors. I agree that anyone who falls for his bs probably deserves to be parted from their money and has zero business trading. As far as Borsellino...I was never a pit trader. But I have some good friends who traded down in the SP pit when he was a big trader back then. From what they, and every other person I have met from down there said, he used huge size to bully around the mkt at times and was far from a good trader. He would offer 500 contracts (back when that was huge size) at let's say 900 to try and push the mkt down....if some broker came in to lift a big chunk (or all of it) he would put his hands down and act like he wasnt offering a thing. His game got old and he eventually was thrown out of the pit. But according to this clown at puretick he is still a major player.
If you want a real laugh go and watch one of the videos on their site. I did a while back...is hysterical. Should be titled "How to do everything wrong in trading 101". His service is embarassing.
Thanks for the clarification on Borsellino...gonna go check out one of those videos real quick. LOL EDIT: LMAO at the videos! I definitely agree with your suggestion of the title. Pathetic shit.
He crawled back into his hole with his tail between his legs after I made him look like a complete idiot. It really wasnt hard to do
LOL well, you had a huge part in Timmay tucking tail and running back in 07. Looks like you've still got the touch! ha ha
