Wow, I guess that Ben might have been onto somthing whith his Bullish outlook a couple of months ago when I was seeing weakness in the markets.

I just want to leave the forum on good terms and maybe in a year or so I might return. 

I still think that Ben reminds me of me when I first came to the forum. I was always trying to figure out price action and how to design trading strategies. Tobydad and I were the founders of a club (the botom feeders). It was popular back in the day and reminds me of the enthusiasm that the new members are showing us now.

My beef with Diceman was unfounded; Davidjohnhall reminded me that coments made by Diceman that I thought were aimed at me could have been a misjudgment on my part. Dicemans silence on the matter gave me pause and my actions were un called for. Even my behavior towards Ben was not very sophisticated. Diceman said a while back that he thought that I was just stressed from the burdens of the business that I am now involved with and I believe that there is merit to that.

I came to this forum and telechart as a successfull trader with ruffly $350,000 in my trading portfolio and in about two years I doubled that amount. I attribute that elevated success in part to the Telechart software and some great members that I collaborated with. I am a pure Bull Market trader and have had mixed success in the Bear Market. It is to bad that a lot of the older members are not still around. Most of you do not know the Bull side of me. Like Ben I generated a lot of trading strategies durring my time in 2006 & 2007. Some of the new traders might want to do the work to find those threads. I know that some of you might think of me as just a person that thinks that they are always right and everyone else is wrong but if you read those old threads you will see that there was a great era on this forum for me and a lot of other traders where we all got along and worked well together. I see that starting to come together now with the next generation. I am glad for this. I do read some of your posts late at night when I get the chance.

It took me 10 years to build a $750,000 portfolio and then I added funds from my real estate ventures and finally hit my goal of 1 million. I am now building a business that is far exceeding my expectations and that is the next chapter in my life, I am doing it for my Fiancé because she says that she still wants to work and is to young to retire.

Anyway I just did not want to leave all you guys with a bad taste for Apsll. My name is Tom by the way; I know that I have at times been pompus and outspoken, I guess that I have one of those personalities. I never meant any harm to my friends and I did over indulge myself in the silly banter with Bigblock.

Good luck to all the new traders, there are some good folks to learn from here and take a cue from Ben and also try to figure things out on your own and study lots of charts......

Take care and and God bless.....

Apsll.

PS: No response is required I just wanted to square things up....... 

Any more lies??
