Default Grey 1 where and why did he vanish?

Mention of Phil Newton got me thinking about Grey 1 who also never posts on here these days. Impressive guy Iraj, local to me in Cheshire iirc. Did he mentor someone and they ripped off his technique then tried to go *vendor*, wasn't there a rumour re. an algo lifted from GS? Anyhow, anyone any news?

He is using his VWAP engine to trade the stock market ,, Few of us went to his house and saw his automated code in action and it was AWESOME to say the least ,,, He is trading ES using discretionary methods and calls trades for us on our SB account....

I also visited and saw the vwap engine operating in an earlier incarnation and it was highly impressive back in 2006 so I guess it has further evolved since then.

I traded with him quite recently in his private paltalk room for a few months.
The best trader ive ever seen. There was no doubting his ability or his claims, because everything was realtime, and he even used a program which showed us his broker screen as he traded etc. There was no faking it.
Others has also been to his house to verify everything!
His automated stuff is mind boggling - he literally has the market as an ATM machine! Very envious.

Him leaving was a strange situation. As I remember it (roughly) :-
He ran a free room calling trades etc with quite a few of us in the room.
the guy (jayjay121 or something???) pestered and pestered grey1 with sob stories etc, and grey felt so sorry for him that he actually gave him a part of his own code so that jayjay could replicate his results.
Jayjay then saw a money making opportunity and started his own site, claiming that grey1 was on board and involved (he wasn't) and also wanted to now charge the people in the free room! (talk about cheeky!!)
People then through Grey1 was a vendor - which I think frustrated him enough to make him leave forums alltogether. He hates vendors. He always used to say ''why charge people? I have the market to 'rip off'"

gulam - tell grey 'Keanu' said hi.
