    Your numbers don't seem to add up. You started with 1K. Got it up to 6K, took some profit and lost the rest. But you say you net $4k Profit, and are starting again with $2K. How much did you lose? How much was "the rest"?

    Do you have a simple statement to show? Or are we going to play a numbers game here? What is "took some profit"? Couple hundred bux? Couple thousand bux?

    Do yourself a favor, seems like you're looking to start a fight or accuse me of something, nobody likes a guy like you on this forum so I suggest you change your mindset. Look through the thread and see for yourself I'm not trying to sell you anything or impress you, I'm trying to keep a blog of my trading and hopefully inspire others.

    Numbers do add up! I walked away with around 4K, I got the account up to around 6k, "LOST SOME", ok that "lost some" is key so try and keep that in mind. So I probably lost around 1k or so and pulled my money out. Now I've started trading again with a new 2k account trying to build it up again.

    Change. Be positive.

    I am not "trying to start a fight" or "accuse you of anything". This is the last update on your screens that you gave us. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...gh-or-low-i-can-go.302590/page-4#post-4339191

    Nobody likes a guy like YOU on this forum so I suggest you change your style. Post some pics of your "net profits", rather than just tell us about them.

    Show me, don't tell me.

    I could tell you that I made $23,450 in the past 2 months. But without proof, nobody gives a shit. It is FALSE.

    P.S. I noticed a little error there in that post. You started the thread with the title $1,000 starting, but then in that thread you said you started with $500, and have increased account by 400%? Don't get that. I am too lazy and tired to find the truth. Please explain why things are not adding up. Kthanksbye

    LOOK THROUGH MY THREAD. This is the second time I'm telling you this yet you refuse to do it and request pics as proof again. THERE ARE PICS LOOKS THOUGH MY THREAD. I've been given advice on blocking negative people like you on here, didn't do it yet but you're pushing it.

    I did look through the thread. The link I posted was your last screenshot with pics. Here's the query about how you have been doing, 5-6 months later. Look at the time stamps in your own thread.

    I'll post lots of pictures for you starting next week again. I've traded many times since then but haven't been updating this thread but I still get emails from people months later asking me how I'm doing so I guess people care, this makes me want to stay dedicated to updating this thing.

    Thank you for the head's up. Let's forget about the previous claim being up net $4k, since you cannot provide proof.

    This is what we, the community, wants in a journal. Picture proof, not just text, in statements about profit. Seriously, think about it.

    And with that, you are gone from my life. Good luck to your trading though.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but thought journals was about the one starting the journal and trying to make a go at it looking for some help from the forum. Whether real time or paper trading does not matter, it for developing into a better trader.

    I keep many of my journals in my office and constantly write notes of what I see and want to test.

    There is always Collective2 for those who need proof and they can subscribe as well.

    It's a journal not an audit log. Chill out dude.
