http://lmgtfy.com/?q=TradersExpo I'm curious why you think that any prop trader who was making big money would be wasting their time reading a thread on EliteTrader with the title "Truth for Beginners"?
no disrespect intended longhorns24, but the thread title is "truth for beginners" - you got that in spades from Zones. Don't be so quick to dismiss him just because you don't like him. goodluck to you
just which part of the statement is meaningless to you? "$15,000 each day" strikes you as meaningless? you must be a big whale, managing a $4 billion dollar hedge fund. OK, tell us what number is meaningful to you? "take home" strikes you as meaningless? ok, tell us where you take your money? Cayman island?
If he did it for altruistic reasons, sure. But he's just a snake oil salesman in disguise http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=180128&perpage=6&pagenumber=1 ...and apparently he tried to sell a system on here in the past as well (the link above is "free" but via pm, he could be soliciting funds.... See post below from another member: If he's doing it for free...I'm sure he'll say he doesn't need an audited trading record although he often (a thousand times plus) have requested others to ignore those without an audited trading record. However, if he plans on charging a fee of any sorts...he should NOT BE ALLOWED to promote whatever it is he plans on doing unless he's a sponsor or has an agreement already secured from ET managment that he can advertise his services here at ET. Note: He did say he won't charge a fee. Simply, send Baron an email or pm to find out if the latter is the case. If they say he doesn't have permission...request that his membership be deleted or banned just like he has done so often about others. My guess (a good one) is that he needs traders to validate his proprietary 250k trading system and allowing free access to it under the facade of an internship is very clever....actually brilliant because it will definitely open other doors of opportunties that he could gain financial compensation. By the way, he has tried a few times in the past to sell his proprietary 250k trading system here ET without ET management consent and his threads were deleted by ET management but he wasn't banned (I have a copy of all of it). Soon afterwards he has been going after other spammers because he doesn't think it's fair that others can spam when he wasn't allowed to do such. Heck, with all of his threads in the feedback section concerning capturing and then executing spammers... ET managment may allow this thread to remain as a reward for his excellent work in keeping the spammers under control. Last of all, I find the following statement by him ironic and another big contradiction concerning this guy... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from TraderZones: ...Even traders with an edge manage to blow up for a variety of reasons. I am trying to cover some of "the other stuff" besides an edge. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In some of his prior debates with me about trade methods and my strong opinion that profitable traders have a complete trading plan that contains many pieces to the puzzle in which a trade signal strategy is just one piece of the puzzle. Stuff like market experience, money management, discipline, proper broker platform, proper trade environment et cetera. He essentially said it was nonsense, voodo or not true in his arguments with me. Doesn't anybody find it weird that he aggressively goes after the competition (other spammers) and then after he has eliminated his potential competition or put the fear of god into them...he casually starts this thread. P.S. Traderzones can't read my message because he put me on ignore after I informed him it was me that filed a complained about his 250k spam threads and about his fee-base website links in his journal when he was known as rcanfiel. Yeah, he also complains about users having multiple aliases and he's on record a thousand times in stating TA is not useful. Mark
That would be my bet. Which is they reason why he is asking the NOOBs PM him. Because anyone with experience would just tear him a new one once they got wind of his latest bullshit scheme.
