    I happen to know one.

    I've no idea if there's any merit in his 'supply and demand' approach but I do know for a fact he's been more successful t******* it than t****** it. ;)

    One of the most important things to take away from this thread is, if someone is selling something (book, seminar, whatever), chances are they weren't able to make any decent money from it.

  2. Yes. I followed a guy a few years back who were both an educator, software developer and a trader. I actually thought he could be one of the exceptions to the rule, but let's just say that a few years later I discovered a few things which greatly suggests that he ain't all that as a trader.

    Still picked up some valuable insights from him, though. :)

    I'm guessing your rogue trade and this box were based on the Daily & Weekly?!

    It's the old 4H problem...; mine looks very different (based on starting time)
    Shall I switch to the 2H?

    Indeed. There was a time when I used to be a sucker for all sorts of rubbish. I transferred most of my trading library to the local charity shop a while ago. :D

  8. I sold mine to another trader while warning him it was mostly rubbish. He still wanted to buy them. LOL. I kept the few good ones to myself.

  9. Intriguing.

    Which ones are you looking at? VIX and SPX? Are you suggesting the current put/call ratio warned or hinted at this drop / increase in volatility?
