Hi everyone, I am the newest member of the ATS mob and also excited to learn new skills.... you never stop learning. I have always considered myself a fairly well informed trader but these guys are adding a whole new level to my trading experience... you have to stay humble, you have to be able to say 'I don't know'

Now without trying to blow any smoke anywhere....Darren's very wide skill sets and natural gift in system design and development combined with his modest and unassuming nature is exactly what makes him such a valuable member of ATS and why he has instantly clicked into gear with the mob. Aside from Darren's natural flair in breaking the complex down into a set of fluid simple processes which is so essential to building powerful portfolios from quality ingredients, humility in this game is so very important as all of us are on a learning path. 

Being able to say 'I don't know' is a necessary pre-requisite in a dynamic financial market that continuously evolves and has no rules apart from those laws that physics dictates. None of us can predict the future which is an extension of 'the now' into uncertainty, so continuously questioning  your decisions is an invaluable asset that forces you to stay locked into the learning path and remain modest and flexible in your assumptions. 

What allows us all to continuously lift our capabilities is the acknowledgement that there is always something new to learn. Just like the scientific method, our knowledge builds as we progressively widen our domain of enquiry. There is no end to it. What however will limit you is your desire to learn. If you don't remain humble, that desire will fade and with it your expanding knowledge bubble.........so stay humble guys and let's expand our knowledge bubble together. An open and willing mind is all that is required.

ATS is all about the transferring and sharing of knowledge and experience about trading and investing.  In that regard Darren is such a superb educator and communicator with a wealth of experience.....who wouldn't want him? Sure..... he is a Pom but we can settle that in the cricket can't we.

Cheers

The other guys from the ATS mob
