I started this channel because I knew that there would be others out there who like me, would be getting laid off. I was able to approach trading full time and have been fairly successful with it. I have much room to improve, but I figured the least I can do is put out there for others to see, what has been working for me. My videos are as complete as they can be right now, so I may not add any more content, but I honestly believe you have all the information you need to trade the markets successfully.
About Me:
 
This channel was started because of trading, but there is so much more to me than that... I am a simple person that seeks truth. I love my wife and kids and I love to trade. I don't buy into all the bullshit that mainstream media sells. I am able to add 1-2% to my account almost every day I trade. The winning days make me feel great and the losing days are like a shovel to the face sometimes. They make me remember that I do indeed have one of the most difficult careers. I know myself and how to live life to the fullest. However in these coming times ahead, I am doing my best to live meagerly and save instead of trying to have it all now. My account is still small, but I am patiently compounding it for the future. I love meeting great people.
Country:
United States
Occupation:
Husband/Father/Trader
Hobbies:
I love trading and reading books that enlighten me in one aspect or another. I also play guitar every now and then. I love arpeggios and virtuoso stuff.
Movies:
Love Discovery, TLC, National Geographic and the sort.
Music:
Definitely love instrumental shred or progressive, neoclassical. Yngwies first album is a perfect example.
Books:
Too many to list. Trading books and I love Alan watts.

I really appreciate that you put all this material together to share to the public. You mentioned a demo account in one of your videos. Could you please recommend one to me so that I may start paper trading while I save up money to trade for real? I have watched up through video 15. Thanks for what you are doing.

Hi OM, I watched the other site and found out a bit more about your family trouble. Sorry to hear your bro dumped you, I'm sure that had to hurt! I just posted a new spider clip called, "Little jumper" this morning. I also watched that creepy, long haired loser that accused you of stealing from the "world's greatest internet trader"...man is he a sad case! Have a great day, and don't loose heart.

Palermo131,

If you made 1% on a $100k account during the 250 trading days of the year, you would end with $1,203,215.58. This would be a pretty good haul. :-) It's ironic that a lot of people who get smacked by compounding also bad mouth daytraders. Compounding works for daytraders, because we base our style of investing on not losing money. The buy and horde crowd get killed by the compounding effects of strings of losses. Remember this when you are tempted to overtrade. You don't have to make a lot of money, you just have to keep from losing money.

1% / day COMPOUNDED is a mind blowing amount of success. It's that old illustration: Would you prefer to take $1,000.000.00 now or $ .01 today doubled every day for 1 month? Do the math. 1% a day is phenomenal.
Anyone know what 1% / day COMPOUNDED for one calendar year is? I'm not smart enough to know.

Orionmachine,

Thanks for a great blog and for the insight. I agree, you don't need to average more than 1% or so a day to be rich, so the purveyors of trading secrets and the critics can stuff it. Keep up the good work.

Masterbatertrader - On second thought, knowing now that you think Janeane Garofalo is "Stunningly beautiful", maybe you do prefer that manly look?!?!

HaHA, holy crap man, that is funny, I just read Maser Trader's Comments. To each his own MT. To clarify: The Myspace thing never "Took off" because I intended to help others and many people just wanted a hand out. Also, Keep your secrets because I don't need them to make money. You also must not understand a word I have written or said, I said 1-2% DAILY not ANNUALLY. I don't need secrets from Don Harrold, as far as I am concerned his main income is from his sales on providing his stock service, at least thats what I gathered when I spoke to him on the phone. I didn't WORK 10 years as a trader, I screwed around half-assed with it and lost a lot of money. Lastly, I love women, so if you'd rather stare at a hard dick go somewhere else ;)
