My most Influential traders of 2014

 
   These traders have helped me grow into the trader I am today. I want to say THANK YOU!!!! If it wasn't for this group my trading what not be what it is today. They are no doubts in my mind if it weren't for them I wouldn't be here.

 @InvestorsLive (Nathan Michaud) 
    My mentor, teacher & friend who taught me how to trade Nasdaq's. He deserves the credit for not only running the best community of traders, but for changing this kids life. Looking forward to a great 2015.

   @OzarkTrades  (Phil G)
    Phil has taught me to be patient and wait for the right setups. Size in and size out. My trading improved watching this guy making live calls in chat. His timing is impeccable & he is constantly reminding me to size down lol. He was gone the day I lost 110k, needed his reminders. I blame him for my loss. Joking. Anyways was good to put a name to the face at T4AC. Thanks for the time you dedicated to me this year and during Ebola madness month

    @Elkwood66   (Eric W)
      Long time friend. He was around when I had $5,000 to my name. He always responded when I had questions about stocks. This guy has taught me conviction, the most important arsenal in your trading. "Derrick if you know the trade is going to workout, by all means go for it." He picks me up each time I have a bad day and gives me advice when I need it.

     @Splendores (Sandro S)
         Man I've been trying to get good at swinging s.s on stocks. This guy is my go to guy. Surprised he doesn't get annoyed with me. Anyways this guy has been around since my inception as well. Very humbled trader, pushes me to dream bigger and use less size. I had my biggest s.s swing because of this guy +65k or so.

     @FreeFlowFinance (Tanner)
         Tanner pushed my trading to a new level, he use to send me his p/l daily when I asked for it. I would make $300-$800 a day and when I looked at his p/l it motivated myself to push harder and press. When I was a small time trader I aspired to mirror my trading profits with his. I learned a lot of basics from him and his commentary in chat is impeccable. Plus he gives me lifting advice for free, he's my Personal Trainer ha.

      @Crawfish (Brandon G) 
         At the beginning of the year we had a massive run in the marijuana sector, my account grew exponentially. He one of the most consistent traders I know. Humble guy too and he just got married, congrats on tying the not.

       @D4ytrad3
          Although I just met this dude, not in person. His calls in IU chat are on point. I have a lot to learn from this guy in the year to come. Looking forward to it. He gained my respect fast and today he helped me make 43k on $NRX. Looking forward to the day I meet him in person

       @Markflowchatter (T530, Marc)
          Can't tell you how many times his alerts in chat/twitter have saved me from a mess. His news alerts are always on point, one of the biggest assets in IU chat. Thanks for your commentary throughout the years. Love it

       @ModernRock (Bao)
         Preaches consistency is key and cut losses. He success has motivated me to push harder, and not only that but this guy lives a crazy lifestyle, he is the definition of freedom, fun and fulfillment. Thanks for your advice and commentary on twitter this year buddy!

       @FlourWaterYeast  (Dough)
           Learned a lot of stuff from this guy, how to spot breakouts and breakdowns. He cuts losses quick and has been there to smack me around if I do sometime stupid. Thanks for your comments in chat this year.

       @Stock_choices (The Canadian)
          Chris has a great story behind him, true inspiration and glad to have him as a friend.
     
        @Autumnalcity (Tim)
           Last but not least. Great guy, has helped with my blogs this year. We trade ideas all the time, great swing trader and friend most importantly. Will be learning swings from him this upcoming year. Thanks for the help this year.
       

            I can't name every trader and sorry if I missed you but the above list are the guys who took my trading to the next level. A shoot out
