Hi Walt,
I find this spat between you and Rick distressing for several reasons:
First, both of you share a great deal on this forum which is comprised
primarily of beginning traders. They are eager to examine various
approaches to trading and you and Rick must spend hours posting indicators,
observations, trades, etc, for which others in this industry charge
ridiculous amounts of money. Secondly, since I am Rick's broker I have
gotten to know him and I can unequivocally state that he is one of the good
guys. And yes, he does trade his own work, but more importantly, he spends
hours on the phone and in correspondence with his FDATE and TTC customers.
I have been in this industry for 13 years and have seen enough of the
charlatans to be able to recognize one now. No one I have met in this
industry works harder for his customers than Rick. He constantly strives to
improve his services and product. His services are the best bargains out
there! The true test of Rick's work doesn't rest on whether or not you (or
any other single trader) find it useful, but rather whether or not there
are others who do. And believe me, there are.
Lastly, it appears that BOTH of you have something useful to add to those
willing to learn. What's to gain by engaging in silly pettiness?
Regards,
Tom Alexander
