I feel if you want to participate in this community you should have the courtesy to add a disclaimer to your comment that you run a trading school (the link in your profile) when you make comments like this. Also, to me personally, it seems like you're kind of making up what you just said (to get people to go to your trading school). Can you post some proof that your family is set for "generations"? (For example can you show the order of magnitude of your accounts via an anonymous screenshot?) By the way I don't share the view of others in this thread who say that your advice is "terrible", the only thing that bothers me is that you did not add a disclaimer and have an incentive to make up what you've written (to generate traffic to your school). Thanks for understanding.

Are you kidding me? All trading schools are scams ran by con artists - this is what my profile says in a nutshell...

  All right. If you want to send anonymous proof (you can blank out your details) of the size of your accounts, you can email me at the email in my profile. I'll then post here saying I've verified your claim, if you want. Until then it seems like you are still primarily trying to promote your web site here and I don't have any reason to believe your claim about how much money you've made trading. Overall your claims seem false to me at the moment, since nobody else spends as much time promoting their approaches here on HN as you do. (Of course, you could just be enthusiastic.) You seem to have a very direct conflict of interest which you don't mention at all in your comments, unlike everyone else who posts on questions related to their projects or work.

    Are you that naive in real life as well? I can photoshop a statement showing gazillion dollars in my account, but how about first you go into my profile and show the community exactly how I am running a trading school, because this is how you came out swinging at me unprovoked 2 posts ago... I don't like bullies in real life and even less hidden on the net...

      Don't you make more money from your web site than you do from trading?
      - SirLJ 9y ago
        What website? the link in my profile? did you ever bother to look at it to see that this is not a trading school website and I am not associate with it in any shape or form, you can go ahead and ask the owner... The only reason this site is in my profile is to show the naive people interested in the stock market that they should never ever pay for a trading school or trust a trading guru, because all of them are failed traders out to scam and steal... Just read trough the heart breaking stories and maybe just maybe someone in the community can help put some of those people in jail... Thant is the whole idea, but I bet you wouldn't understand...

        It appears that the owner of that site is also a scammer of sorts. https://tradingschools.info/2015/08/05/a-review-of-emmett-moore/ https://tradingschools.info/2015/08/05/a-review-of-emmett-mo... But I assume you already knew that.

        Firstly, I'd like to apologize to you again for misinterpreting the link in your profile as being a site you run (you could put in your profile that you are unaffiliated). Lots of people here run sites, so you will understand that I thought it was to your site. The warning you just linked (it's down at the moment but here is an archive[1]) says "If [someone says] that he consistently makes $1,000 per day, well that’s great. But have them show you proof in the form of account statements." So I don't see why you became so upset with me when I asked for a similar proof from you - I was fine if you make it anonymously! (Blanking out all of the identifying information). I would assume that you are being honest, and after all you do have a bit of karma here. So what I asked for is exactly what the site you linked suggests - just some indication of the size of your portfolio, even if you make it anonymous. Sorry again about misinterpreting your link as a site that you run.

  I think people reacted this way, because perhaps your suggestion to OP was not appropriate for this thread. But I do remember reading your comment on the books discussion page few days ago. Actually, I have been thinking along the lines of what your bio description says. And I even bought a book, from the ones you suggested (the history of hedge funds, one). So thanks! I am interested in that area, but constrained for bandwidth. As I also want to pursue cryptocurrency and/or ML. So not easy to choose, as realistically will have bandwidth to do only one of the three areas. And that too ensuring current project goes in a near 'self driven' way. Nothing is easy :)

    Hey, it was just an idea, I don't think any better or worse than some of the others like go "travel the world" or "go hike" or "feel better", at the end the more ideas the person has, the better would be for him... For the book, I hope you like it and find it as inspirational as I did... Good luck, think outside the box and don't listen to the naysayers :-)
