I talked to him last year about personal stuff. I left ******* & Partners in 2017 to start a fund with a famous tech-guy. That, and trading my IRA.
The best traders on ET, or the one's with most likes and/or posts, are textbook theory academic traders. I doubt many of them could actually trade in the real world...or trade fruitfully in abundance with their returns. The real killer trader on a forum is most likely a relatively silent, or hidden, one who doesn't participate or post often. If managing risks alot means having virtually zero gains...then I guess that too...is technically trading. It takes a cowboy trader to be able to produce, but also with precision of a surgeon and mindset of a professor. I just bought g-string panties for myself on eBay. and a music orchestra wand. and black V neck shirts. and nail pliers. and a mannquine hand. You can buy alot of cheap stuff from Hong Kong sellers. amazing value.
