Possibly, but I don't have a problem with that at all. Vadym is perhaps the daytrader I admire most of all I've known and met. In the first few posts, he has given away his hard won knowledge and experience for free. While the points made may seem obvious to you and I and others who have been doing this awhile and survived, I for one would have been a lot better off if I had contemplated them prior to beginning. Probably would have knocked a good chunk of time off that infamous "learning curve" (strictly in regard to daytrading/scalping, which is what both he and I evolved into after much trial and error). Although I had been "trading" for a very long time (position - using TA) when I quit paid employment to support myself in the markets, I struggled for awhile trying to define my risk parameters and "find myself" - this cost me a lot of money as well. The approach which Vadym has very nicely codified in his posts and on his website is one which I agree removes most of the risk from the endeavor, even in this extreme volatility, and if properly implemented, could increase the survival rate in the daytrading arena, which I believe is one of his stated goals. Looking back, I would have gladly paid $200 per month for this in the beginning. That's one ten minute scalp trade per month. Contrary to the blatant self promotion practiced by most of the "paid for my stuff" "gurus" (LOL) of SI (and we all know who they are :)) I find this thread to be generous in its freely given information and unobtrusive if indeed the intent is to promote the website. I'll bet this is more than you bargained for! Hahahahah. Good to see you again. Kerry
