here's another nail in the coffin of the mythical (and asinine)
statements that all day traders lose. face it...shit methods or
systems equals shit results. and one doesn't need a dual pentium III
666 mhz with 1 gig of ram running ts2000i or tradelab rocket science
to do it either <g>
although this guy beats the hell outta 99% of most traders, I consider
his methods and results mediocre at best given the amount of time he
puts into it. his goal this year is to bang out $500,000 in the s&p.
given his dedication, he'll probably do it too. right now his running
total is $226,025 for 9 months (see table). these are real trade
results, not hypo like the scammers. Oh yeah, deduct $15 comm from the
results to get his net p/l.
my goal (like Greg's) is to give hope to day traders that dedication,
hard work, and a good plan can yield extraordinary profits trading the
s&p. and to dispel a lotta of nutty ideas running around out there
about how day traders "must" fail.

and in 6 months I'll give another update...money talks, bullshit walks
and standard disclaimer, not selling or promoting anything, blah,
blah, blah, other than the truth
