    Yup.. I do agree about the whole multiple twitter account thing. Looks like the first post is from May 2016, and although he wasn't posting every day, he did have some early on nice gains once July hit. If you're at all curious, here is a link to how his July stacks up on a daily basis.

    Here he speaks of shorting MYOS in the afternoon... (US stock).

    And also looking at his time axis in the charts, that's all US-time. And his chats in InvestorLive chatroom he speaks of 'earlier this morning'.

    So he's definitely NOT based in Sydney, because I can tell you it sucks being in a different time zone, and you will not speak of your midnight as this morning...

    By marketwatch, He is "a Sydney, Australia-based trader";
    And he said“I traded or at least watched the market action from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m."
    That makes me confused.

    It doesn't seem he trades Australia market, as ASX open from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

  4. Said this in another thread, but same here, return alone (however impressive) does not tell the whole story we need to know the risks taken, I like to use return over maximum draw down, the higher the number the lower risk the return was.

    Joking about being referred to as Sir.

    Don't worry Speaker Paul Ryan made similar comment yesterday, St. Patrick's Day, about Pres Trumpie being like royalty to the Irish because he owns golf courses in Ireland. Forgetting golf was invented in Scotland and the Irish don't care for loyalty. Really don't care for them. LOL
