Although I have a lot to say about Oscar, I'll try to make this quick.
I researched him too years ago, but after I got to know him (and his family) I chalk many of those stories up to be a disgruntled subscribers who may have lost money trading the futures (imagine that), and was looking for someone else to blame. Oscar is a good salesman and may be overly optimistic or over-promise, but he is also the best chart reader I ever met, and I was intrigued with his ability to call tops and bottoms, both intraday and long-term.
He was in the trenches with the floor traders 30+ years ago and learned what he knows, and I'm sure that toughens you up.
As far as him personally, he's not really like that guy he plays in the videos. He is more quiet actually, and he's a very generous guy who would do, or give, anything to help a friend or family member.
He had the foresight to buy a big beautiful house in Vegas during the 2008 real estate crash. My wife and I have stayed with them and they are the kind of people who say what's mine is yours, or mi casa es su casa.
Oscar also never sleeps. I never saw anyone like him. Another quick story... My wife and I, another friend, and Oscar went out to see a band play in Vegas. We were out late and when we got home, maybe 2 AM or so, Oscar said he had to run to the store. The next morning was Easter Sunday and he had gone out that night and made Easter baskets for all of us. Not only that, he also bought a big screen TV that he installed on his outside porch so he can watch the markets outside, while the rest of us slept that night.
He has monitors with futures quote screens all over his big house, with alarms that went off when his price levels would get hit, and they went off all the time, any time day or night.
Anyway, he's a good guy but like any business owner, there will be those who have problems with him.
Oh, and the OMNI is not the 150 day moving average. The OMNI is more involved than that. He does use his "OTAPMA" which is a moving average that you can figure out through trial and error, but it's not the 150 day.
But I digress.
