Real traders / timers/ don't discuss gains or loses for the simple reason which is -
there are no gains , that is they are on average net losers..so what's there to discuss??
We are talking REAL TRADERS here , not paper ones

there's no need or inclination to discuss, real traders focus on the baby steps in their daily trade plan to bring home the results - profit takes care of itself then. Not over and not under emphasized, the focus transcends the actual $'s quickly as it's not productive to dwell on'em.

90% of this thread is retarded.

Pro traders run actual businesses...
They have Accounting Firms and Financial Statements and do complex Tax Filings...
Which might cost $10K to $20K and UP annually...
They have Partners and web sites and are lawyered up to the tits...
So all of this information is private and proprietary...
It's none of anyone's damn business.

But, I suppose that there exist people...
That work out of a shoebox and a cellphone...
And post their paper trading fantasies on ET...
Yes, these are people, too.
