A lot of users have asked how
Geoff & Alex ended up meeting. Here is the brief boring background on that:
Geoff
Preston (Dragon Breath aka Cajunsniper) was your typical newbie
trader. He spent hours
on end reading every book he could get his hands on, chasing
entries, seeking the "holy grail" with new trading systems and chasing
false prophets with hard earned capital. Alex & Geoff
met awhile ago in an online day trading chat room and would
discuss their daily trades and strategies. Since Alex was a
professional and doing so well, Geoff suggested that he share his
knoweledge and expirenece of the market with other struggling
newbies. Geoff worked hard for months to make this happen.
Securing, servers, domains, web art. Over a year later PureTick is
operational and helping new day traders get on their feet.
We all share the common desire to help new
traders turn a profit
while also learning to, ourselves, become more consistent and
skillful in our own trading. Alex has agreed to help with that
goal as well as all the members of our group. We endeavor to use
our experiences, both good and bad, to assist new traders in
substantially cutting their
learning curve in terms of time and costs. Come experience the clarity and trade side by side with Geoff & Alex in the live audio/video trading
pit.

Brief list of Jason's
Exploits (Co Administrator)
*
Jason graduated from the University of Illinois, College of Engineering
with
a degree in Computer Science.
* He has worked in the
computer IT industry for 10 years doing either software
development, computer IT consulting (contract programming) or test
engineering.
* Jason first
developed an interest in how to better invest in the stock market, due
to his employee stock purchase plan and 401k contributions being
heavily pummeled in the early 2000's. Like many newbies, Jason
was late to the game in entering the stock market (newbies will buy at
the peak and sell in panic near the bottom) and did not know what he
was in for.
* In 2001 Jason
became a stock enthusiast and started picking stocks from newspapers to
invest in, much to his personal account's dismay. No one warned
him that the stock game is rigged.
* Jason quit his job
in 2003 to trade full time.
* Jason has done
much soul searching in terms of trading systems, which includes jumping
around from one subscription service or chat room to the
next. Why isn't anything working? It
finally dawned on him that becoming a successful professional
trader would be a long, hard road and would require the utmost patience
and diligence. Nothing will work unless you use it right.
Day trading is just about as difficult as trying to fend off a
hungry lion with a butter knife.
* Jason is currently
devoting full time to day trading the YM (Dow emini futures).
