since we know that all trading courses are bullshit, what would you actually look for in one?

I’ve seen your posts on pairs, and we don’t do your pair trades. We don’t do forex pairs, either. I discourage it in fact.

 

interesting I was taught that pairs are spreads. I wasnt attacking you and i am not against teachers teaching and what you charge is what you charge who am i to tell you what to charge. but the space is crowded depending on time frame and liquidity is always an issue with spreads or pairs on entry and exit if you are doing size and short time periods.

most people do not do well with pairs and same with the long short mutual funds they last maybe 4 or 5 years and usually lag the mkt

 

Yeah we don’t do your pairs and we don’t do short time periods either. I haven’t day traded a spread in thirteen years.

 

that takes the slippage and fees out of it for sure. ok appreciate the feed back.
and as the ex pit spreaders working as teams used to say!!
You put your left leg in
Your left leg out
In, out, in, out
You shake it all about
You do the hokey cokey
And you turn around
That's what it's all about
Woah, the hokey cokey
Woah, the hokey cokey
Woah, the hokey cokey
Knees bent
Arms stretched
Ra-ra-ra
You put your right leg in
Your right leg out
In, out, in, out
You shake it all about
You do the hokey cokey
And you turn around
That's what it's all about

I started out trading inter market Treasury Spreads in the Pits and was mentored by KR, the biggest Bond Roll Spread trader ever, and by Ray Cahnman from TransMarket.

I legged spreads on Project A and Globex and DTB in the late '90's and later on Eurex and LIFFE. I was an original Beta tester for the Trading Technologies AutoSpreader.

I trade more complex spreads and I swing trade them. On very rare occasion I will trade an inter market pair (like a crack spread) but that is a rare exception. I am almost always into a butterfly or a condor or another more complex variation.

 

Ah clever.

 

Yeah, but that kid isn't going to go pro without a basketball, either.

 

Literally the worst trading advice ever.

 

Probably 98% of courses are useless and 2% are gems.
After 10 hard years of wasting lots and lots and lots of money buying shitty courses which have almost zero value, I think it is ENTIRELY your luck that you connect with the right guru.

Somewhat like the odds of meeting the right woman to marry, but these odds are better.
