Well, you've asked so here's my answers...
Where did you get the nick name "CrashingMedic?"
I became a paramedic in 1999. Since I was teamed with mostly EMT partners I was usually dealing with the patients instead of diving
During my first 6 months I was in the ambulance when we were involved in several wrecks...I think 5 or more but can't remember for
sure. Remember...I was not driving in any of those instances. It soon became a joke that I was a jinx and that if you were teamed with
the "CrashingMedic" that you were in for a bad shift. The rest is history...
How long have you been trading?
I first started looking at Forex in late 2004 and Futures in early 2005.
What trading styles do you employ?
I employ both technical and scalping during news reports that have a tenancy to move the markets well.
Do you trade live or demo?
I began demo trading in late 2004 and have been live trading since late 2005.
How profitable are you?
Since early 2006, I am between @ 85% accurate on my technical strategies and over 90% accurate with news trading. I had only 3
losses during spike news trading in 2006. I no longer trade the initial news spikes and try to look for an entry several minutes after the
initial move on a retracement.
Why are you still working at a job if you are a successful trader?
I am building my account to a significant level (@ $500,000 USD or more) before I quit my job. My job allows me to trade while on
shift. I am a paramedic supervisor at and work a split 24 hours on / 48 hours off. I have the freedom to do what I wish in our down
time. I have a laptop with a Sprint broadband card and trade from work when I can. I also remote connect to my home for news
trading if I need to. It's a great setup!
Why do you always say "Good Fortune To You?"
Here is the short, short version...
In 1996 I was 19 y/o and on vacation with my parents and 16 y/o little brother when we witnessed a car wreck. We were on Hwy 54 in
east TX outside Van Horne and were in the center of a 100 mile stretch of literally nothing but dirt and cactus. When we came upon the
wreck we found that there were 3 Asian teenagers who were in the car. The driver had fallen asleep and ran off the road at a high speed.
We saw the car flip end over end several times. It took us several minutes to get to the wreck doing @ 70mph.
When we got there, 2 of them were walking around the car and one was still inside going in and out of consciousness. No one had a cell
phone and we waited at least an hour before the first car showed up. We told the people in the car to send help and 4 hours later a
volunteer ambulance arrived. They could not handle the situation and called for a helicopter from the US Army base in El Paso to come
pick up the patients.
I was in EMT school at the time and helped my parents and brother care for these teenagers until the ambulance and helicopter arrived.
Just before they were taken to the hospital my mom said to one of the teenagers something along the lines of this incident being bad
luck. I distinctly remember that teenage boy saying to my mother...
"No...no...not bad luck...GOOD FORTUNE...we almost died and you were there to save us."
From that moment I ceased to believe in luck.
Also, I did some reading about luck when we returned home and found that luck is defined as "The chance happening of fortunate or
adverse events." As a Christian, I do not believe that anything in life is random at all. God Almighty has a plan for everyone and He put
that plan into action at creation. We all have a purpose; and that is to seek God's will in everything we do. There is nothing random
about anything.
I say "Good Fortune To You" instead of good luck. Why? Because a long time ago a scared but intelligent teenager taught me the
difference through his tragedy.
The definition of fortune is "A large amount of financial wealth or material possessions." Luck is not real and fortune most definitely is.
God gave us all free will to seek out His will in our lives through everything we do. If you are truly seeking what God wants both from
you and for you, your desires agree with His, and you have the wisdom, knowledge and ability to acquire it...GO GET IT!!!
Why are you selling your materials so cheap?
I believe everyone deserves to be told the truth. There is so much overpriced crap available that it is disgusting. Most of the people I
have come across who are selling high dollar systems are nothing more than marketers trying to make a buck from your excitement
over false hype. I had to do this differently, honest and from the heart. Plus, if you think my info is too expensive, just contact me and
make me an offer. You may be surprised at what you find out...
Do you plan to trade full time one day and quit your job?
ABSOLUTELY! Right now, I have 1 main trading partner and 3 trading accounts; 2 are my personal trading accounts and the other is a
managed account with funds from various sources (mostly family members). My future plan is to acquire enough "Fortune" to be able
to trade full time and live off the interest from my acquired "Fortune" while trading. I have a long term, realistic goal set, to become
job independent before I am 40 y/o. This will also depend on how the market changes as time goes by.
Do you call your trades in your Yahoo! group?
Sometimes. When my schedule cooperates with me, I try to send out an email with a screen shot of my 1H strategy from my CTS
system. It will usually be over the GBPJPY and where I think it will go. If there are significant news events the next day I will briefly
discuss how they will affect certain currency crosses and what my plan would be in such situations.
Will you accept more funds into your managed accounts?
Not at this time.
