That might lead to a false sense of inferiority on their part as a trader. As I stated, I will be more than happy to demonstrate live that my results are what they are. I reiterate that no one posting spectacular results would dare take me up on my offer to verify their results. So, you guys will all be better traders than me as long as you keep posting great results and no one takes me up on my offer. And, you have carte blanche to continue discrediting my statements because I was honest.
You appear to be saying that everyone here that posts and is successful is lying about their results. At least it certainly sounds like it. You are breakeven because you are honest but everybody else is lying because they say they are making money? You hare happy to demonstrate live because you are honest but nobody else will because they are dishonest? You seem to be contrasting your honesty with everyone else's 'dishonesty'. I can only assume you are doing this because since you aren't making money nobody else can be?

Re: Trader P/L 2009

Just to be clear, are you asking for 'real time' trading calls to verify ones claims of success?
PS .- Im also pretty much a B/E trader aswell (after MORE than 2 years im sad to say!!)

I guess if you really try, you can deduce that. Or, it could be that I simply wanted to offer newer traders a balanced view on the topic of whether they should trade 1 market or multiple markets.

Being that I stated, honestly, that I am not making money, it was used against me in a condescending manner. So, being honest did not pay off for me and my statements were discredited because they directly opposed the authors and he felt the need to discredit me in any way he could just to remain right.

So, if someone is willing to discredit me, because they are more experienced and a better trader than I, they should certainly be willing to back it up. If they are not willing to back it up, they really shouldn’t bring it up in a conversation since all they have are after-the- fact blotters that do not prove much. I can generate those all day long.

Once again, I wanted to offer newer guys friendly advice to help them one day preserve capital when they went live because what was being presented is dangerous for newer traders.

Cheif, you are about 1 in 10. That's not very sad.

Re: Trader P/L 2009

MightyMouse:

1. The trade you are asking people to make here is a pretty bad one for someone who is able to trade their strategy profitably because they are making money, and you are not. You're basically saying: "I'll show you how to break even, if you show me how to trade profitably." And yeah, I realize that a lot of people don't mind showing others exactly how they trade. I respect their reasons for doing so, but I am not one of those people, and there are many others who feel the same as I do. I'm sure you can understand why. You should be thankful that brownsfan and others have taken the time to share the information with you that they have.

2. Do you think someone is going to do you the tremendous favor of posting their live trades for you after you flat out accuse them of lying?

You guys are funny. I can see how Bernard Madoff was able to get away with what he did for so long. Sometimes the obvious just can't be seen until you get whacked in the head by reality.

Everyone! Browsfan is right! trade 6 markets before you learn how to trade 1. Go for it.You should all be able to do it since he did it.

Re: Trader P/L 2009

That has nothing to do with my post. My point was that there's no need for you to be so rude, and if it seems like people don't respect you, it's because you are being very disrespectful yourself, from the first post you made in this thread.

Give me a lesson in etiquette. Certainly, you have proof that I was disrespectful in my first post. Prove it.
