  1. So Jason, I would then have to categorize “Dr. Jeff” as a Type I pattern….someone everyone thought was real but, actually, was only trying to scam newbie futures traders with a lot of bogus mumbo jumbo.
    I knew I was duped when he presented a checklist of over 20 things to go through in your head before taking any trade.
    Word to the wise after 7 years at futures trading: don’t ever believe in anyone other than yourself.
