Re: ads on the site..... hahaha... oh. I wasn't even aware of that (not that i wanted ads on the site anyway). but as you can probably tell, i know nothing about web development and the site was made by a friend of mine.. i just provided the content. Anyway.. ads are for chumps. -- Andi

BlueHorseShoe, Having a link on a blog does not mean you get paid to introduce. In the past, I have also referenced TradersAudio, MrTopStep, DrudgeReport, NoShoesRadio, CNBC and many others.... doesn't mean I'm selling them. The link to that site was put there to explain the context of the material I was writing about and the link was copied from wherever I was at the time. The only cookies I'm aware of are double chocolate chip or oatmeal. If you don't like the material I reference, don't use it.... but I don't benefit in any way. My blog is for entertainment only. -- Andi

Hi. I'm the author of the blog which started this discussion. I was told about this page from a friend and felt the need to clarify a few things. I'm a she... not a he. Andi with an I.. not a Y. I trade professionally for a rather large institutional account.. have been for six years. As the bio on my site suggestions, I run the futures and currency desk for a Swiss family office located in NYC. My use of the words "rookies" or "muppets" is out of fun. If any of you follow me on twitter you would know I put up this page and I talk on twitter entirely out of entertainment. You may also notice from my blogs that I trade very rarely.... thus I have an awful lot of time to twiddle my thumbs, paint my toe nails, talk to folks on twitter and write nonsense on my blog. I'm not selling a product, training people to trade or benefiting in any way whatsoever from readers of my blog or followers on twitter (aside from entertainment value). You'll notice I have no ads on my site like most blogs do, thus I receive no benefit from the traffic. Mr. Predictor.... When have I boasted about returns without talking about risk? Never mind the fact that I'm not boasting about anything... but where on my blog do I glance over risk? That's actually all I've discussed on there. I believe the use of stops is a risky...and quite frankly, stupid way to trade. As for my stats... feel free to ask any of the many followers I have on twitter about them. While i'm not here to prove anything to you or anyone else.. I do take offense to the suggestion that I'm boasting or trying to appear more sophisticated than I am. Regarding your PS statement. I am not trying to appear sophisticated or snotty or as a genius. The blog post about stop came about when I was asked a question by a follower on twitter and I attempted to answer their question as logically and straightforward as possible. Perhaps I could have added... "if what I do doesn't work for you.... do something else." Whether you consider me a "really great trader" or not... I honestly don't care. But keep in mind that many who manage funds, very large accounts or those that have produced considerately superior returns for a number of years... they often have very simple strategies that do not involve mastering multiple ways to trade. "Have a plan and stick to your plan." Mine works.. and works well. If it didn't, I wouldn't be in the position I am today. -- Andi
