DislikedNo, it wasn't, but his first name is Mike. He was a young guy who traded currencies for Tudor's fund in NYC. According to him, he was the youngest ever full-time trader for PTJ. I met him online, very unexpected, but it required me taking advantage of something I had seen and understanding the implications of it. To wit, he had posted a 3-sentence post on MoneyTec saying he wanted to mentor 2-3 people.
I contacted him and he sent me a questionnaire that initially I found off-putting. It was detailed and designed to see what I knew about...Ignored
Anyway, enough of this. I’m sure some will understand what I’ve tried to get across, others won’t, some will later on, and some will scoff. None of it matters to me, really, as not a single person on these forums has any impact on my life or my trading. And that’s a big part of the Big Secret.
My father used to say..."Those who follow the crowd, never get farther than the crowd."
It’s called desire, consistency, self-knowledge and a huge work ethic. That’s the Big Secret.
Agreed! So many are looking for the "magic system". We all know that a trader needs a good one for sure and sound MM, but none of it will work without "The Big Secret".
Glad you and your wife found a way to make your marriage work . I guess that too is like trading; it's the people that make it work. The Big Secret can come into play there too . Nowadays, it is just easier to walk away...no desire to stay...more fish in the sea.
Really enjoy what you share in your posts.
All the best to you there in the East...(was reading last night about those cobras out there)...not a fan of them either.
Take good care,
