Personal Notes:

Rob was my mentor several years ago. We have since become friends.

Rob didn't start in the mail room of some big brokerage and work his way up to floor trader. Nor, did he work for a Bank and learn "Institutional Trading". He started as a

Retail Trader, like a lot of us here. He is open, down to Earth, sometimes funny.

He believes in transparency. Feel free to ask questions during the Q&A portion of the Webinar. Hope to see you there.

Enjoyed the webinar very much.

[cryptictrader 10]

Thanks guys for that interview. I really find it interesting hearing from guys like Rob Booker who have actually made it already.

[PiptopiaX 10]

Yes, Thanks TL. Down to Earth, no BS. A real Trader.

FWIW:

 

Here's how the trade ended that Rob entered during the Webinar:

[MadMarketScientist 11]

Agreed - I appreciated the webinar was not packed with hype and was actually very grounded in reality - and some entertaining humor. Because in trading there's enough to cry about - gotta laugh sometimes.

I downloaded the Wallaby indicator for ninjatrader, and matched it with rob's chart for a similar trade, and unfortunately they don't match. Does anyone have any ideas?

 

Here is the shot from Rob's setup on metatrader:

Attached is my screen shot, used with the default settings and it looks much noisier. Any ideas?

[Mysticforex 13]

I am not too familiar with Ninja yet. I know on MT4 you sometimes need to accumulate "History" for things to set correctly. On MT4, repeatedly hit the "Home" key.

[joshdance 10]

Thanks again Mystic, great interview!

 

This isn't the issue I think, as I have several years worth of history and the stochastics only use up 7 or so bars back I think. But thanks for the suggestion!

[Ingot54 13]

Yes, Thanks TL. Down to Earth, no BS. A real Trader.

 

Totally agree with you PiptopiaX, CrypticTrader and GlassOnion :-

 

Rob Booker comes across as a decent human being who is intent on seeing traders master their game. I would like to hear more from this man.

 

It is a rare thing to have a trader expose their losses to public scrutiny as openly as their wins.

 

Having Rob as a guest was a coup for TL - thank you Mysticforex and Admin for that very useful Webinar. I am going to go over it again yet - I found a few points worth drumming in, from Rob's comments, and his discussions with Chris and James.

 

I have yet to get down and dirty with this wallaby indicator, but will do that this week, time permitting.

[joshdance 10]

I noticed in the webinar that the nzdusd trade was short at what appeared to be a very key level from a previous drop down.. as Rob said, no magic with the indicator, it's just the average of three stochastics so any oscillator's divergence should show the same thing.. far more important is the context and location in which he took the trade I think. Just my $0.02.

He does not really have a choice since he's become a CTA.
