No, someone has been doing that as a running joke. They'll flip to other names (Steve Mauro shows up in several places) throughout.
 
Just wondering guys, what software do you use to record ICT if he has a live session ? If I get the chance I will record next time.

Have used the Fastone Capture (paid version) but not exactly successful. Probably more me than the program

Camtasia Studio seems to be the standard

If you have a Mac/Apple product (or QuickTime on PC) you can use that to freely record your screen which is what I do.

I also recorded it (in nice 720p :thumbsup:) which ill gladly upload later if it's OK and if anyone needs it.
 
Last night during the q&a, someone mentioned James Dalton, who wrote 'Mind Over Markets' and the idea of value trading. There is another fellow named Frank Ochoa, who has a book about Floor Pivots, that is one of the best trading books I own. I center my trading around concepts taught by ICT, but I really like some of the Pivot concepts in Ochoa's book. It's an expensive book, but he sort of picks up the conceptual torch from Dalton in my opinion. Again, if forced to choose, I choose ICT concepts, but I think we can be open to learning from various sources.

I use all three...auction market theory is definitely useful and fills in many gaps in terms of the "non peak" times to trade, that ICT teaches
 
yes please :)

some people never change...

goal achieved... ahead of schedule :nerd:

Congratulations AKA, one of Senior ICT follower,
I would request for a post (long), about your
experience on achievement. How long it took, how
you struggle, how you prepared, what would you
suggest to your fellow trader.

I think your sharing experience will inspire us and
trusting ICT materials more.

In that case, I'll lock out your account.

I donno man.. after the last time you had an outburst and ICT made a video specifically to address it, I thought you'd have grown a bit. At this point, for your own health, I don't think you should be posting here anymore. (Or on any online forum about trading for that matter.)

Please move on and do something positive with your life. I'm not saying that to put you down, I'm quite sincere when I say this is for your own health.. With a personality like your's, there are far more positive things you could be doing with your life. Don't feel bad about it, trading just isn't for everyone.

Best of luck to you in the future.

Isn't Piphanger the guy who traded his retirement savings in desperation and lost it?



Piphanger] It means exactly what I typed said:
All I got for Piphangar....One word...
Darwinism...

Yes, pretty much. I noticed his attitude a while back. Clearly acting out of desperation which is guaranteeing failure. Reading back over his post history, it's actually an interesting example of the psychology of this game if you just analyze the mindset.

I mean really... a free video series, late over Christmas.. and you're mad? Really? That blows my mind. Obviously this guy was in it for the wrong reasons for the start and even tries to half admit it but can't be fully honest with himself.

yes the poor soul ,many do lose and not are as honest as piphanger the way trading nearly taken him to the edge was a little up setting to read .
after all he only wanted to trade ,he should not have had the shit kicked out of him when he was down but hey thats the internet for you even a person with ego problems and a mental illness can fool some of the people some of the time.

Ok so you aren't a "poor soul" for gambling away your savings. That makes you just a plain old fool. 2ndly he put that stuff out there, I wasn't kicking him, just pointing out that he traded on emotional desperation which is digging your own grave. It's a learning opportunity. You're right, that's the internet for you... if you post something on a forum then people will probably reply and critique. If you can't handle criticism then you need to get off the internets. I'm a *complete* and utter noob and could see the desperation and inevitable failure in his posts. The way external sources were blamed, when you can only ever blame yourself. Never are any claims made that ICTs methods will make you rich, in fact to me he made it sound like you could earn a living through hard work, nothing more.

Now can I ask why you are bitter towards ICT? Made some bad trades when you should have studied more?

edit: In fact ICT says to never risk more than 1-2% when you are new, and reduce that by half if you lose a 2nd time... if he lost all his savings that quickly, he was clearly not following ICT's risk management guidelines because you can lose 6+ times in a row and not lose more than 10% or so of your capital, and yet still wants to blame ICT somehow? So you want to talk down to ICT even though Piphanger wasn't even following his most basic rules? Does not compute.
