I started trading in 1981. In 1986, my professional trading career began. I spent around 5 very difficult years to achieve consistency, I can say that they were the most difficult years of my entire life. Back then there were no mentors, no seminars. There were very few books, or content that a developing trader could get or follow. You had to be hired by a major Wall Street firm or you had to learn by trial and error like I did. This process cost me a lot of time, money, even my own family to accomplish. But I succeeded and even then it was only until 1994 that I began to teach professional traders my method. I was one of the first teachers in the trading industry. I broke the rules of those times because the unwritten law was: “keep everything private and secret.”
