I have not been posting much, but short after I started trading I started following the ES journal on a daily base. After a while I got impressed by the results B1S2 posted so I did what I would think traders like to do: I gathered data and analysed it. For a couple of weeks I spent about an hour a day going through the entire 2019/2020 journal and the 2021/2022 journal for the entire year of 2021 and put all the entries and exits in an excel file. These are my conclusions: 1) The results are impossible to verify since quite often losers were not posted/confirmed (Every single winner was posted though, most of the time making sure to brag about it using big bold font). 2) Recurring issue of posting exits way late so they lose all credibility. One thing in particular I noticed: B1S2 several times posted winners after a big overnight drawdown claiming that he never uses stops during ETH. Other times though - when the drawdown didn't recover - he coincidentally did have a stop in place or he happened to check and closed the trade manually. 3) Several indications his posted entries and exits were not real trades. One example is he posted an exit for a trade he already exited two weeks earlier. ES Journal - 2019/2020 ES Journal - 2019/2020 4) Even giving him the benefit of doubt and accepting all his posted results despite the issues listed above his result was only slightly positive, and nowhere near the 3732.25 points he posted at the end of the 2019/2020 journal. At the end of 2021 he was at a loss for the year. 5) Being a bit critical and filtering out the blatant delayed and other weird/wrong results made him a loser. You don't have to take my word for it and no, I am not going to post the excel. But anyone interested can do what I did and check for themselves, all it takes is a bit of time.
This is absolutely false. Especially when if exits get posted late, I always take worse case scenario for journal integrity purpose. I'm extremely transparent.
I'm very surprised at the attacks on me when I have been very transparent. I will not dignify these bombardments with any further responses to same.
