Hey guys,
As was remarked earlier this week the thread hit a 4 year birthday.
From initial inception it's evolved into quite a disciplined, hardy approach attracting some very astute, sharp participants who have patiently honed the material to suit their own specific styles, agenda's & circumstances.
Jim, jjay & I have received & monitored some very impressive broker statement records over the duration of the thread, evidencing folks understanding & application of the material resulting in 4 of the regulars advancing onto bigger & better things directly associated with the institutional side of the business.
As many of you will be aware, whipcrack & spotfx have spent nearly 18 months in the London offices of Andre/Tess/Sean et al gaining exposure & experience working in a very busy, active, pacey trading operation.
The result being spotfx obtaining a permanent full-time contract to continue working with them (mirroring the achievements of a couple guys from another forum who were associated with them) & whipcrack securing a lucrative funding deal, trading alongside a group of very successful market professionals based in Dubai.
2 others have progressed to the stage where they have also secured funding arrangements with high net worth investors/speculators via third party industry introductions, 1 specializing in foreign exchange & fixed interest products, the other trading a varied asset basket including equities, bonds, stock & currency options, futures & commodities.
We have witnessed documented proof of some other extremely impressive brokerage & account balances, prompting us to set up & arrange improved dealing rates/fills, commissions & quality back office/support services for them with top end industry broking houses.
To that end I wish to inform you that the experienced guys (& some of the long term regulars) including me, are stepping back & bowing out from forum participation.
Carll pulled back several months ago, I'm becoming busier with the firm I'm contracted to & the others have taken on more responsibilities resulting in a heavier schedule & a serious drain on their time.
To be honest, the thread has kind of run it's course & achieved what it set out to.
There's really only so many live & reviewed examples that one can contribute & share.
Virtually all of you are comfortably established in your individual styles, risk profiles & objectives evidenced by your continued quality submissions, posts & statement proofs.
Each of you have structured a quality, disciplined framework & bolted on set ups/triggers that will enable you to work these markets as you so wish based on your preferred market volatility & condition criteria for as long as there are markets to trade.
It's been a great pleasure & honor to share time with some very smart, respectful & honest individuals & we wish you all the continued success you so clearly deserve.
My very best wishes,
Joe.
