    Sure. Just as soon as you prove that your mind is a parachute.

    Prof, as Eight mentioned, you probably get a lot of clustered signals. If so, is it backtesting, fundamentals or news specific to each market that you use to rank each one?

  6. Thanks for the response. However, I now have to ask you the obvious question. If your method can be traded across all markets and all styles (intraday, swing and longer term), then it ostensibly has no meaningful scalability limitations. Further, as I recall, you report very high signal reliability. And finally, you follow a dizzying number of markets. All that being the case, and given that you have been at this for several years, what prevents you from joining the ranks of the likes of Soros, Tudor Jones and Cohen?

    I understand that you teach trading, and that's all well and good. But none of us initially enters the field of trading for its teaching opportunities. That may well be an offshoot, but I doubt it is ever the initial motivation among starry-eyed newcomers. So even if you didn't want the headache of managing OPM, what prevents you from scaling the very heights of the trading world with simple compounding over time?
