Trading System Project

Hi  Ed,

Your TSP page for me, is like a puzzle, driving me to figure it out.

I want to know how it is, I want to test it.

These years, I am committing to develop a full-fledged trading system and committing to learn all necessary skills and knowledge.

I learn Python by myself,  read classic books on trading and trend following, read FAQ in your website. I learns lots of things and I feel good to keep learning and going. I really enjoy the joy of this journey. I feel great passion inside my body and I let it go and guide me.

Hereby I send you a backtesting result of SR system that trading 35 futures markets, as attach. My purpose is simply to test and see profitability of a simple SR system you post on TSP page.

Yes, like you said on TSP SR system page, simple SR trend system indeed works!!

I am very interested in other topics on TSP page, and I think I can study them and test them efficiently, on the foundation of the simple SR trading system I have already programmed.

I would continually make my contribution to TSP, along the way I study, backtest and learn, and develop my full-fledged trading system.

Regards,

Potential Interview

Hi Ed,

I am one of the founders of an educational platform which teaches people about the stock market and how to trade. I used to be a portfolio manager at William O'Neil + Co. and then ran a successful hedge fund in New York for 6 years prior, which is what I have been focused on for the last 5 years or so.

My business partner is the host of all of our educational podcasts and interviews, with top folks in the industry like yourself to help guide people along their learning journeys.

That being said, I would really love to have you join us as a guest. Please let me know what you think.

Best Regards,
Thank you for inviting me to appear on your network.

How about call me to align on purposes prior to going ahead.

The Trading Tribe Appears in a Book

Hi Ed,

I am not a trader, but I have been fascinated with the trading world for many years and have a couple of acquaintances who have attended Trading Tribe meetings.

I first learnt about The Trading Tribe process in 2009 and really love the principles and ideas. I've also been a big Ayn Rand fan since I first read Atlas Shrugged in college.

Anyway, the reason I am writing you is that I am currently writing a novel about a man who runs a bank's hedge fund.

It is based on Bear Stearns during the 2006-2008 collapse. Like the hedge fund managers at Bear Stearns, he is indicted. During that same period his romantic relationship goes south and he loses his mom to cancer. He also had a difficult relationship with his father.

During the year he is awaiting his trial (2008-2009), I have him fly out to northern Nevada to attend The Trading Tribe ... or The Trading Club.

Whilst he is attending he also meets and befriends a very cool woman, who he eventually falls in love with. Basically, he finds himself and learns how to navigate the markets without getting caught up in the noise of Wall Street.

I was wondering if:
a) I could use the title The Trading Tribe for my novel and
b) I could pick your brain a little bit about Tribe meetings for authenticity sake.

It won't take very long as I'm sure your time is limited. I could just send you a list of questions.

Also, I would be happy to send you what I have so far.

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.

Warm Wishes
Thank you for letting me know about your book.

You might consider sending me the parts of your book that have to do with Tribe Meetings - so I can check them for realism
as I'd like to cast an accurate picture of actual Trading Tribe (trademark) Work.

the Trading Club, your own creation, would not have any such requirements.

Worth Less

Dear Ed,

I feel worthless. I feel useless. I feel shame for existing.

Yours truly,

Thank you for sharing your feelings.

You might consider taking your feelings about [Worth Less] to Tribe and perhaps come up with a few good instruments to sell short.
