Re: Degree in trading (Alternative)

I know a good number of highly successful traders and I fail to see a compelling
reason why anyone would assume they would be willing to share the wisdom they
have acquired over the years.  At the same time most of the folks who sell
trading expertise couldn't trade their way out of a one lot oex option the day
before expiration.

Some thought IIT(Illlinois Institute of Technology)runs a college
program..endowed by much of the trading community to train traders.  It was
essentially established by the Chicago trading community to develop "talent" on
an mid to entry level of trading skill.

Tony Saliba..profiled in Market Wizards does in fact run a school for
professional option traders.  It is used extensively by the professional
community both in the US and Internationally.  The only hang-up is it cost  a
bundle ($10,000 + the last time I saw a price list).  Most of the major
proprietary trading firms do in fact runs in house schools, but they are just
that.  They are designed for their future floor staffs.

I'm kind of dismayed by the assumption that anyone would expect any of these
successful traders to really give it away.

If I had developed a really valuable methodology for trade I would trade it...
not sell if.  And that is exactly what they do.
