{quote} {image} could discuss why he gave his name to this book. but seem there was no issue with the catchy title the interview/documentary of the 1987 crash? yeah, pre-Youtube, i know...still. should you be interested, happy to discuss some facts about PTJ on another platform to not to too off. lets just say he never again came close to that 5 years performance that has landed him in the 'Market Wizard' book... i am totally on board with slow moving market, and entertainment. today is an example of that, thus this comment

What is his relation to Forex? Or how and why is he relevant to FX?

{quote} What is his relation to Forex? Or how and why is he relevant to FX?
err, why asking me? i didnt drop in the name in the first place, came around to see it here, along some totally irrelevant charts and other things...
but if you feel you need connection,PTJ as multi-billion dollar global macro hedge fund manager moves money around the world, exchanging in and out of dozens of local currencies buying local assets; what the forex market really is there: to facilitate international transactions.
happy?
there is always, always another trade!!

He traded FX... not sure if he still does but in the 80s and 90s he did as far as i remember and he was good. Did a 300% year or something then wrote the books he has.

That was probably a friend of his that wrote the book and asked him for that , can't see him writing something with that title, he's too low profile and real high above the need of adding "award winning author" to his resumé. but still, a great example of attaining success and staying away from the spotlight (i.e. no need for "subscribe" ).

Nah, I don't believe that he did. He is just the tail end of the old boys club of the 80's bucket shops era and made his money from back room deals and connections like they all did. No wonder he doesn't put out how to trade books cause if he really revealed how he made his money, him and several hundreds would go down for all sorts of shady deals.
Now I don't have proof that he did any of that but I know from the era that he didn't make his money from drawing trend lines on the old basic charts printed on dot matrix printers of the 80's. I doubt anyone can replicate his methods today..not that he is revealing anything useful about them.

Well, you put up his picture and this is FOREX Factory, so I needed to ask.
Ok, so his relation to Forex is the same as any money bags relation to FX. Thanks.

Everything you just said is patently false. And yet you couldn't resist stating baseless absurdities.

His career is legendary and very well documented. Anyone with a brain could find out within a 30 second google search.
Including how he utilized the 200 MA in his trading.

PTJ is not in forex factory, so he is not a great trader.

Who cares? He is useless to FX trading especially nowadays with digital trading and platforms and regulations etc. If his only claim to fame is that he used a 200MA, woopty doo. Not worth bestowing the worship that you expect everyone to his mundane method.
Now if he has hired a PR firm to go around and promote him in places that he has no business to be, then I understand but go on, keep worshiping your useless idol.

Honestly I'd rather a million times click the "subscribe" button of PTJ's channel (if there was any) rather than ANY social media guru's and forex superstar (some of which look like they just recently left puberty) . Chill out guys, I dropped the name as an example, that's all. Peace

Quoting Phenotype
{quote} Exactly if you've seen my posts I said the same thing about being consistent. Sure there are some but it is the exception. And these ones do not have youtube channels as they are professionals.
Another one of my true stories, lol. My first teacher who taught me how to trade was a psychology professor at San Fran- Berkeley. (I learned to trade futures by crashing on his couch cause his g/f was my martial arts instructor, so I was lucky to get in-person teaching). Anyway, he subscribed to those trading/finance magazines andI recall an article I read called "Where do all the profitable traders go" .

Most pros or even full-time traders with profitable long term strategies stay clear of forums, youtube, etc. Too much hate online, everyone is calling someone else a scam or wrong, or think they are god and that trader has to prove themselves, or some negative thing. It has allowed fake youtubers posting cash and cars and a whole bunch of other nonsense to get a following, but those people who attract to that are feeding the lifestyle, probably not their trading.

Now, even PTJ, a man who became a billionaire through trading is called a scam cause maybe his method disagreed with someone elses trading method, haha.

Eventually some noob will come a long and have a few lucky months and post their videos from ftmo, etc. But it's the retail environment in general that profitable full-time traders try to stay away from. Hannah now is getting false statements about her having to go back to work even with a live myfxbook. Who wants to have their psychology affected by people who can't trade and move out of their parents basement? I know I don't.
The best strategy is a profitable one.

Why not just attach it to your profile that way you don't have to clog the thread with those post. I'm sure you know how to do it in trade explorers since you've been here for 10 years.
