First of all...Volpri is the real deal. Secondly, Al Brooks's books are like a horse tranquilizer. You should read it and extrapolate the info that works with your time horizon. I had a difficult time applying his methods to my personal trading style, but like any guru, you must use what you deem useful to your own personal style. FTR it only applies to 10% of my trading.
PADU CAPITAL has an entire team! And you were almost part of it. Hopefully @padutrader is part of it. Personally, I think you failed to make the commitment. There is only one thing left to do. EXTREME SCALPING OF THE E-MINI ON A THREE-SECOND CHART. This is only for very, very serious students/market participants. I truly hope you can make it. Al Brooks certainly did... ONLY FOR EXTREME TRADERS...
Thanks, but I'm not really shopping for a method or a mentor at this point in time. As you're strongly endorsing Al Brooks and seem to be taking the role as a teacher yourself it would be nice with some transparency on your actual results from said method, but let's leave it at that, then.
Simplemelike, 1) You go right ahead and be a ass whipping super trader. You mentioned trading as a business that should render you a profit everyday. First, that isn’t even a reasonable posture. You will be whipping a lot of asses. Plus your neighbor might whip your ass! Be careful! 2) You have shown your ignorance on businesses by using the business argument. Are you aware that a new business usually takes 2 to 3 years just to just get to break even. Many go out of business before that point is reached. Most new businesses take 3 to 5 years to BEGIN turning a profit. 3) Third do you realize trading is probably one of the hardest, if not the hardest business to break into and become successful. 4) Mr Brooks said it took him 10 years to become consistently profitable. Do you honestly think you can pull it off in 1/4 or 1/3 of that time? 5) Maybe you should just whip your own ass or get your mop toting wife (per your post #806) to do it for you. She might oblige you using the mop as the principle instrument to accomplish the whipping. Just kidding!
sir be careful you are talking sense and anywhere in this world that is dangerous for you.more so here in ET
this is my journal and it is for my benefit. if others can derive something good i am happy. i know brooks is teaching something valuable and he says it is not easy to be profitable in trading. i have worked hard at trading and shown my failures and it only takes arseholes to make fun of me
