A Brief History of Chess
Roughly eighteen months ago, I randomly did a google search for “financial blogs,” and iBankCoin.com popped up. I clicked on the link, and as soon as I started perusing I knew that I would become a regular reader. The Fly and many other tabbed bloggers easily fulfilled what I would later learn to be the dual mandate for traders/writers on this site—Be right about the markets, and entertain. For a long time, I was a lurker, refusing to write in the Peanut Gallery or so much as write a comment. Reading iBC day in and day out certainly made me a better trader, but I knew deep down inside that I was not pushing myself as hard as I should have, despite being profitable.
Just over a year ago, I made up my mind that I wanted to be the absolute best trader that I could be, and I decided to try out The PPT with a membership. I can honestly tell you that I subsequently improved as a trader exponentially, due to the most comprehensive and breathtaking proprietary algorithm available to the public. The PPT allowed me to use my time more efficently and effectively when putting in my daily work on the markets. Moreover, the possibilities for scanning stocks were endless. At my fingertips, literally, I had the ability in less than one second to see which stocks were heavily owned by Goldman Sachs, had a huge short position, were oversold by the algorithm’s historical standard, and had recently improved technically, just to give you an example.
12631 is Born
“Anytime you stop striving to get better, you are bound to get worse.”
It is in that spirit, of pushing oneself to be as rigorous as possible, that The Fly has had the vision to allow RaginCajun and myself to pursue an affiliated service with The PPT, in the form of “12631.” 12631 will be available only to new and existing members of The PPT, because we are seeking to build on the success of the product. The idea is to extrapolate on the algorithm’s mathematical precision to isolate the very best individual trading ideas. RaginCajun and I have worked diligently both here on iBC, and inside The PPT, to provide timely market commentary and actionable trading ideas. Providing daily real time analysis and time-stamped trades on a website which receives well over 1.1 million page views each month is not for the faint of heart. I am proud to work with him, and we believe that our supreme work ethic and market knowledge will set us apart from other premium services.
In 12631, Ragin and I will offer a winning atmosphere for both novice and veteran traders. We will have intraday, daily, and weekly watchlists with the very best trading ideas. We will also supply a constant stream of charts, educational videos, and blogs. In addition, we will take what we deem to be the most relevant searches conducted by The PPT algorithm, based on whatever the current market conditions are, and we will probe them further through the lens of two experienced, profitable traders.
Both Ragin and I will continue to blog on iBC, although we will save the majority of our individual ideas for 12631. We are grateful for our strong reader base, and we look forward to working with many familiar readers inside 12631, as well as many “lurkers,” just like I was over a year ago, who are looking to push themselves to become a better trader than they ever thought possible.
