Threads on ET tend to take on a life of their own. Often going in a different direction than the OP. Anyway, I think @SimpleMeLike is mostly stringing you all along and enjoying the attention he's getting, although I do think he's dead serious in some aspects. I'm pretty sure he took or at least bought the Al Brooks course or books a while back, so it's at least not entirely true that he's not been exposed to any type of how-to material on trading. That said, I think he's fed up with all the BS and smoke and mirrors which the educational industry is swamped with. The same could be said about ET at large. Finally, he realized he's alone and that nobody is going to help him. That's where I pretty much agree with him.
Dude, he's in Coconut Grove trading 100 lots per click. His security system alone is 12% of his adjusted gross. That's not peanuts, Man.
Think about this. SML won't read Trading books, so he comes here to learn. He then plays "passive aggressive" Trolls the very people he's learning from, some of which are naïve enough (or showboating their own knowledge) to try to help him. He also destroys threads of a Forum he's dependent upon for learning. Talk about biting the Hand that feeds him. Add that to the long list of character flaws SML has shown here.
Add to his Trolling that he's also repeatedly said that if discovers a successful way to Trade he won't help anyone - he'll keep it a secret and just "talk shit and brag". Is that the culture of a good Forum.
