    QQ, what is Ken Calhoun's track record/equity curve? I only see on his website that he traded $41 million worth of stock and ETFs.

    I'm not impressed b/c my cost basis this year thus far trading SPX spreads has been $13 million (super EZ to rack up big # even on a small account, if you're trading spreads and going in and out). Live jazz doesn't impress me either as I prefer death industrial heavy metal during trading hours (smooth jazz after market close).

    Also he's featured here... https://www.tradingschools.org/reviews/day-trading-university/ . Are u a subscriber and know his audited performance for this year?

  6. I think anyone with half a brain, and half a year's trading experience, will quickly realize all trading coaches run sham operations out to just enrich the personality on camera. It's all about sales, sales, sales...and personality, personality, personality.

    But people want the dream, the fantasy, the good life to come true. So they willingly dilude themselves.
    I know nothing about Karate, or taxes, or gardening, or training pets or flirting/dating....But if I truly wanted to, I can appear like an expert and sell material online to benefit and enrich myself.

    So much bad information in one post, I'll give it a go anyway.

    The UK show featured only one very old software engineer and none of the people in the show did well.

    "Software developer engineer type guys" don't make great traders? So you've never heard of Blair Hull or Jim Simons I suppose, might want to look them up.

    "This kind of endeavor that is part art, part science". That's a load of crap. Either it's art or science, it cannot be both. If you don't think that markets can be predicted at any point with any certainty then no amount of "art" can help you. Markets change, yes and that's why adapting to markets is necessary, but this can and usually is done via algorithms.
