I can tell your not a robot because you're not trying to sell me Cialis. :) It's my experience that there's very little that's original or new in trading. Most indicators are just a derivative of price and volume. I try to incorporate my own twist or provide a clear example of what has worked for me. Good luck! Thanks for stopping by Tony.

I've read it on books but you gave a real trade to illustrate it. Thanks. Tony Chai Hi :

I don't frequent that room anymore, but when Brandon and Toni were trading, it was very good. I mentored with a trader by the name of Ivica, I don't know if he is around anymore, but I think he's on the elite trader boards. Really what did it for me was picking a method and sticking with it. All a mentor did was give me the confidence that the method would work over the long run. I don't trade systems, so if I can't really backtest. The only way to get confidence was to be taught by someone who had success. In any event, I would check out Toni's blog. I know she sells a course, but I haven't tried it. If you have questions, just shoot me an email. Good luck! Hi Dave,

I'm curious as to how you got a mentor. I ask because I would like to speak with a 'mentor', or someone that trades full time to 'pick his or her brain' in research for my own trading plan. I'm not well connected here in central Indiana, and I'm not sure where to start looking for a mentor. Thanks. I read that your turn around begin after you got a mentor.
