Now, on the topic of vendors - what about their altruistic cousins?
Hey, fellow vendor! How you doing?
It's been a long time! Wow, I can't remember the last time we crossed paths!
Oh yes, I know, it was when you were busy slating me and then er...recommending my posts (but don't worry, you didn't realise they were witten by me did you so you don't look too bad! ;-))
Anyway, how's the vending going? You making big profits? Reading your website I've realised that I really need to up my marketing game actually. You got a contact number for your web designer? I want those piggy banks growing fat with all that money!!!
And who wrote this?
"Know ahead of time where the market is going – before almost everyone else does"
"This information is going to seem so obvious; you will kick yourself for not thinking of it yourself"
"This is not a get rich quick scheme but trust me, once you have this down, the money will come."
"This is our most revolutionary product. Once you've used this tool, you will not be able to trade without it"
This is ALTRUISM at its best. No doubt about it. First class, dude. Did you study marketing?
And all particularly interesting since I asked a few of the larger order book traders in prop what they thought of it and the answer was somewhat amusing. Perhaps the made up colleague that informed you that I was kicked out would write you a fantastic reference though? ;-)
At any rate ; It would be really cool if rather than just spreading complete nonsense you actually backed up some of the tripe you spend ages writing. The simple fact is, you've literally never written a single post about me with any ounce of truth in it. I can take negative feedback - the market gives me more grief sometimes in a single day than you could dish out in a lifetime.
BUT, I wrote a quick guide to some of the more "oblique" terms you've used in your post. You know, just so people know what you really mean
he has little credibility here now
He hasn't posted much for well over a year now because the site is full of people like myself talking drivel.
he put an add for trainees
He put a link to
free webinars on strategy to support a
free thread. Sh*t. Wait. That's not 100% true. The latest one actually had a charge. 100% of the proceeds went to raise money for charity.
Tom Piccin is fundraising for British Heart Foundation
NO-ONE EVER PROFITED FROM HIS INFORMATION.
As a vendor, I rely on selling how important the order book is, so it pays me to criticise anyone that can make money off a chart.
And I'm going to ignore PM's like this : "
After reading it I literally went through every single one of your posts. Your words have really helped me take my trading to the next level." because if push came to shove, would he really post the other 1,682 he has in his inbox?
Oh, sure there is this one too that someone posted on his thread:
"Last nights was a winner. So thats makes 8/10 now A strike rate like I have never experienced before. "
Fail Better - Page 154 @ Forex Factory
But that has to be a multi nick!!!
Seriously, Dion, I'm not being funny mate, but that thread - the one that was just "nonsense" on pin bars? Have you even read it? Go read through it and present the evidence here. Because from I can recall, there were a few key heads up ; only a few minor "calls"...like the all time low in the USDCAD, the all time high in GBPUSD, a 40% run up in EURGBP...If you actually spent one tenth of the time you take to rail on me and other vendors (whilst being one yourself - and really, that never looks good), and actually took some time to post something useful, I might be able to give you one iota of respect. Of course, I don't expect you to be able to make calls like I have! A few of your two/three ticks scalps in the ES would be a nice start. It's just the last time you started a thread - on understanding S/R - all you demonstrated was that you had a complete lack of understanding of it that verged on laughable.
Let's move on shall we?
It's total nonsense. The guy couldn't trade when he wrote it.
Yes, I know he did show a black and white, undeniable record to get into prop using the exact strategy he showed on the thread. But that was all LUCK!!!
He is now "The_Wizard" on Forex Factory.
He was the_wizard" in January 2007. Yes, that was a full ten months before he even started writing MMT. But let's not mention that - it doesn't do my argument any good.
How much time have people wasted on his stuff and how much money have people lost?
Oh, an interesting question actually. Aside from the fact that 95% of what I teach I provide for free, I would have throught the R:R is pretty good since anyone can see it works by just putting it in practice. I definetly have students that are struggling so far. I also have several that are trading six figures successfully and one that is trading seven. If you think this is BS, I am happy to provide you with their contact details including email/phone so you can talk with them in person
Why don't you call my "bluff"?
So why doesn't he come back here, add these comments to the end of his mega-threads and ask T2W owners to put a note on the first page to the effect that "this stuff doesn't actually work"?
LOL I suppose no one should move with the times and we should never try to get better by adapting what we do. But yes, the original material works very, very well and I really do have a list of references as long as my arm. I do apologise if you lack the ability to make any money from it. But that's no fault of my own! I tried!
Of course, Dante/Wizard is now mentoring people. I know one of his colleagues at Futex and let's just say he did not get kicked out for making too much money!
Would like someone like to clear this up once and for all? No, I don't mean an anonymous "colleague". Someone feel free to PM FUTEX (if you care that much) and ask them whether I was kicked out. They have my full permission to reveal the truth on the matter which should get around the privacy issue.
Right, I'm off to get ready for the market open.
Hit me back Mr Toast. If you ever swallow your pride, I will always be here to help you
