    They are all pretty similar.

    Kell will Trade the Q's though, if not enough Stocks setting up. I'd recommend Kell's basic Price Cycle for any bum long term Index Trader.

    Kell seems more qualified, but Quallamaggie seems to have out performed Kell over the last decade.

    If they're telling the truth, they all deserve our Respect - O'Neill, Minervini, Ryan X 2, Zanger, Quallamaggie etc.

    He rode TSLA up with LEAPS. He's legit but it was basically AON.

    There are two kinds of people, those who hit the lottery of life and want to tell everyone else about it ... and those who keep it to themselves.

  4. Another guy I spoke with back in 2010 said he funded a 15K account and tripled it in 6 months day trading ES. Then he withdrew half and tripled that the next 6 months.

    My impression was that he was profitable and honest and I have no reason to not believe him as he wasn't selling anything or trying to convince me of anything. He did seem to use retail TA, but I could tell he was different than many of the posters here in terms of mindset and attitude towards trading. Key words being extremely professional and serious about his trading.

    He left ET rather quickly and called it a laughing stock of the internet and warned me to not get consumed by the negativity. LOL.

    Brit. Uses s/z, "realise"

    Was very active on forexfactory before coming to ET. Banned from both.

    @Xela, wtf are "HTFs"?

    Thanks for sharing. Quite frankly it sounds like he fed you a bullshit story, similar to many I’ve heard over the years. Nothing about it rings true - not the returns from daytrading ES, not the “ordinary guy spends a few minutes before work casually mastering a skill set that many thousands have tried and failed”, and definitely not riding off into the sunset of index funds after taking his account up by 100 fold in two years to the not exactly huge sum of $135k.

    Again, no disrespect to you and thanks for relating the story.

    Gotcha, I mean he seems to have general market knowledge, but the video I watched he was just buying verticals on stocks he thought were going to make a move based on his indicator on TOS.

    Yeah, and in another 10Y he'll have enough to live on. I have never seen so many uninspired pikers in my life.

    Xela was the one using volume in FX right? Now it's order flow and a novel way of reading PA to scalp 1min charts?

    Sounds like typical forexfactory garbage.

    I know a guy who says he's on his way to trading 100 ES contracts. Very humble, but won't read any books or can't read or whatever it was.

    Cool guy, he still posts here. Won't share his nick to protect his privacy.
