Good morning folks!
I just popped on this morning to see what the latest was among the Gearheads...
Just so the readers are aware, I get somewhat agitated when I am prodded and pushed. I've always been this way, before affluence, with everything. I'm not a conformist. Which makes my teaching expensive. The readers are subjected to long waits and "useless" rants between material releases. Now before you get your britches in a knot and go full bore sourpuss on ICT... please allow me to remind you of something.
I started this Waltz in teaching as a self-serving project. I am interested in the responses, the results, performance and stories of each of
you. Despite my carnival like atmosphere at times, this is not really about me. I am killing two birds with one stone. I am satisfying a curiosity in me as a Trader and simple voyeur as well as encapsulate my understandings of Trading over 20 years. I have children I want to provide this insight for. You all are the audience of this project.
I get numerous emails and public torch in hand and pitchfork aiming trolls calling for more of this or that from me. Please take this with ego as far from the point as it can be taken: I don't march to your drum. In fact it incites more delays just to irritate those parties. I'm in no hurry as you have possibly noticed of the years. I have no deadline. I have no marketing timeline to adhere to. This is where most of the detractors stumble. I will not be manipulated into doing something before I am willing. Stubborn and one way, that's always been me.
It amazes me how ICT says he doesn't care about dead lines but is the first to put dead lines on his videos, his works, etc. He said he would be done in March 2015, but we all know unless he cancels the Market Maker Series he will be going on long past 2015 (at least that is how long he will span out this series). If this is so called a project for him to his children then why does he care about what we say about him? Why? I don't understand, we all have free speech and can say as we want but if you dare say anything bad about ICT he will let you have it. Who cares if it's free and others are ripping him off, that happens to everyone. Look at other Mentors Strategies online, how many others do you see teaching the same thing for different cost? Does it matter?
It's funny to read things like "put up or shut up" from
Golden Bullshit. The fact that folks like this take the time to post things like that shows inward weaknesses. ICT doesn't have to put up anything. I put up enough. Where did I say I must prove to you anything? I elect to show results of trades both live and simulated as a record. If I have taken a loss, I will and would show you. I do not trade a lot. I trade very little actually... this is why my results are as good as I claim.
We are not the ones that forces you to put up a MyFXBook account, you did that on your own. You said you would open the curtains behind the traders as no one has ever done before, we are still waiting to see the curtains open. I can see why you hid your account on myfxbook to others seeing your trades, but is there a reason you hidden the results after the fact, so we can see how it progresses overtime, no is asking to see it live, why hide it completely? Unless there is something truly to be hidden from it. If you show it at the end with 20 million do you think that will actually do anything for anyone? It would be better to see it go to 1 million over time, then poof there you go.
That is where the struggle begins with you, the reader, trying to trade more than ICT does. I have experience, something I can't teach, to know which setups I elect to take. Some are better than others... and some I am incorrect on. I have the understanding as a Mentor and many years in interfacing with pupils both via the internet and face to face; to know my results are not helpful to the pupil. It is merely a curiosity within those who "must know". It doesn't help you Trade my methods better. In fact, it will give you a false sense of security as my results are based on over two decades and just because I do it... does in no way guarantee you or anyone else will likewise. Sorry, but that's just the Truth.
This can be said, and is said by almost every mentor out there. They don't want show you how to trades, they want you to learn how to trade even if it doesn't make sense to anyone. All I hear is here is how you do it, but damned if you say anything as to why, how, etc. about a trade, they just tell you keep studying, you aren't studying enough. This is a trap that all mentors get you in no matter if it is free or cost 20,000 dollars, it's all the same BS.
Now to show how I deal with losses in a MyFxBook environment I will trade more frequently than I actually do. Not for a long time, but for a month or two. I will undoubtedly take a loss. I will mitigate that loss as I teach should it manifest. I will do this at my timing and choice. When I sunk the babypips Fxbook I did so to scare those wanting to mimic me and my trades. You can feel like a smartass and post what you want concerning why you think or believe the reasons were behind it. I can assure you it was not lack of ability nor was it stage-fright. I manage over 200 million dollars in fund, do you think I am losing sleep over a few thousand dollars in a retail account? Again, those who believe that clearly have no idea what they are talking about.
Again why would you hide the complete account if you didn't have anything to hide. You can show you after results on myfxbook without having others copy you, not sure if you know this? If babypips was your starting ground and you had a lot of followers that supported you on this forum, why would you take them and drowned them for fun? Doesn't make sense for a mentor that things he is all that and puts himself up on a pedestal with the Chris himself?
I have no future service. I scared, hopefully, those who hold to that idea. This is not about ICT... it's about everyone but ICT.
The more this drags out, it's all about you and your success. If someone as simple as bumps into you, you run your mouth about them, don't make it seem like it's about us when we all know it's about you!
