Thanks - a brilliant video - not often I can sit through an hour long trading video.

I actually thought he was very gentle with her.....!

good vid, DT.
I too thought he was quite supportive, and constructive.
he went through her trades, and illustrated how her losses could have been capped if she simply bailed out at appropriate times. this wasnt hindsight trading either, just number-crunching.

Your opening remarks suggested a chance to hear someone chew someone out, and thought it would be funny.
But it turned out to be quite a good analysis.

It didnt deal with any specific trading technique, just with how a specific traders losses could have been curbed, through analysing their trading journal.

Too late. It wasn't so brutal, except that it bring back bad memories.

Sigh... Now you have to go and wash off all that vendor scum....

Good stuff - it wasn't brutal from the perspective of how he talked to her... just brutal to go through that and have it aired publicly.

Gotta hand it to the girl - she obviously OK'd it.
