Re: What Made You Profitable?

That's funky TL, my earlier posts are deleted!? ... doesn't matter

Yes I know statements can be manipulated that way. My bad but maybe I didn't say it right but I just questioning the trader's live trades since all I see are trades after the fact. Calling out consistent "live" trades would be the way to go.

Plus, no need to prove yourself xkr, if it works for you so keep doing what u do

The ONLY way to prove that what you are doing is real is to call the trade REAL TIME. So, next time you start your video recorder, why not post your trade as you're taking it?

To whoever mentioned it, a brokerage statement proves nothing either. Hedge your position with two live accounts--long in one, short in the other, and again, you can't lose.

I'll re-iterate. The ONLY way to prove a trade was taken is to announce the trade AS it's taken.

Again, I'm not calling you a liar. I'm simply saying that your video means nothing, if the intent of the video is to prove that you took the trade. It may have value to someone learning to trade a particular method, however.
Point taken of course. I am not here to prove anything really. MM made some high handed remarks and got my back up.

As for wasting my time concocting fake videos I have far better thing to do with my time. I am an open book.

Hi,

Yes, vendor-related (bash, accusation, prove yourself, etc) posts that are off-topic from the original thread will be deleted as they take the good thread down a bad road.

thx
