So, f***k u. Loser! Oh, I take that back, go f**k yourself! oh, let me show you how to apologize like a civilized human: After examining the documents you uploaded, I think all your claims in previous posts are legit, and I am sorry yc47ib, that I was a naysayer and by posting those posts I brought negative thinking into this thread you created. I wasted your time and poisoned the energy. I hope other readers do not learn from me and focus on trading. Good luck to everyone.
Oh, at least have the ( ball oh, take that back, instead use) courage to copy paste what I have already composed for you in your own post, (sucker oh, take that back, instead use) friend? This behavior itself will bring you control of your inner self and bring good luck to your trading, that is, if you still have the courage and capital to do meaningful trading. And, if you do not do that, in the future days, months, years, this memory will keep nagging you, whenever you have a big drawback, you will wonder whether you should come to this thread and do the copy pasting. So, do it now, do not let this haunt you.
To be honest, the only true showing would be a pic taken from a phone of your screen login. Nobody cares about your netliq, but people do want to see the time and sales. I'd suggest, that if you want to be taken seriously, that you post your end of day run with your fills across all accounts with comms. Or a fill sheet with timestamps. Performance is all that anyone cares about. We're not your accountant. Your timing yesterday was bad and you ignore the drawdown. Then you're up a bit and you're back. I appreciate the runs, thanks.
read my first few posts about my methodology, money management rules, and comments about under-capitalization. I trade by my rules, and understand a lot of the traders did not make it is due to under-capitalization (it is not the money amount, it is the amount relative to the sizing thus to risk amount). My rules enables me trading profitably even if I started my long position building process near the top of a bear market, or short at the bottom of a bull run. With these rules, market timing is no longer that sensitive, I got to live my real life. Also, I get the time to entertain you with all the screen grabs at the heat of the market. Because to me, I already reaped my profit, do not really care where it moves. I just got two positions to exit or roll forward by end of trading tomorrow, I have no pressure, thus considered persuading you is more important. When a trader is so eager to trade, do not trade. When he is scared, setup some positions.
Your methodology comment(s) consists of one statement about EW. Money management rules? Undercapitalized is bad. Got it. I am coding this sh*t the moment I am done with this sentence.
I name my action zone the Chen's zone, following my lastname. Which is between the 61.8%-76.4%-79% area of any pullback (in up or down trend). The main difference is I respect longer trend but do delve into all type of time/volume frames, such as daily, weekly, hourly, 4 hourly, volume based (depending on the volume and volatility, ranging from 99888, 9988, 7788, all the way to 188, 88), and tick based (depending on volatility, ranging from 7788, 17788, 37788, 777, 666, 55, etc, you get the gist) frames. As anyone who had experience reading all these time frames, they give you conflicting signals/feels. The rule is to read enough into all these, depending on my type of entry and exit, but not too much. That comes the market pyschology and mood. In another post.
this is baloney, imho if one provides real trading data one should provide real trading data that comes from the broker when order is executed i do not know what others are writing here for 7 pages...
K, I have read enough of the thread to realize that you are approaching your idea about trying to inspire traders by showing REAL LIVE trades. You keep saying LIVE trades, but live does not mean anything. SIM can be LIVE and REAL. But is it a REAL MONEY trade? That's the key. I'm pretty sure that I'm the only poster since I have joined that has repeatedly attempted to prove, and done so, that I actually provide as much proof as possible while maintaining privacy. That is the approach YOU should take. I am busy at the moment, but will endeavor to clarify when I get some time in about 30 minutes... The above quote is from destriero, post #50 I believe. His point is what everyone is on about, as the general crux. You, sir yc47ub, have entered a lair of cynical meat-eating lions that are tired of all manner of bullshit artists that have come through here and tried to pawn off their "skills" as "education", or what-not. I will post some examples of what they are looking for, when I am able in like 30-45 minutes.
Before you put out your wagers, take it from me...You need to prove yourself to the grizzly maze that are the killers here, who most likely are REAL LIVE MONEY traders who question your approach. And there is also something odd about those snapshots you posted...Many of those shots have little plus signs next to them, which means there is more information there. Why not expand those trees so we can see the whole deal? Anyways... I was able to prove that I was a not a fake bugger right-quick, when challenged, when I did something in my journal that very respected posters here requested. So I did. It was not bothering with posting just bland screen shots of a simple entry or exit, and posting a tiny snippet of some "trade screen" from a tiny smartphone. It was posting the whole deal. Trade summaries, executions with time stamps, and redacted account statements. And I was also able to prove, to at least the REAL LIVE MONEY traders here who use NinjaTrader7, that my stuff was live real money, not live real sim. (You need to do the same, on YOUR particular trading platform/broker statement, if you expect anybody to take you seriously. Especially if you trade from a smartphone? What is with that? How can you do proper analysis of markets on a 5" screen? Pretty sure the majority of successful traders need some large monitors in an array, with a REAL LIVE PC, to succeed?) But I digress. I will do it again here for your benefit, in synopsis. Here are my current REAL LIVE MONEY trades for the month thus far... Before we go further, I want you to notice the column titled "A". That is the account number. The one with the "W" is the sim account. I show that for a reason. It is evident in the trade execution screen, which follows... Now notice the "A" column on the right. That is account number column. Notice the W in rows #3 and #14 in that column. Now look just to the left of that, you will see the order ID column. You will notice how the REAL LIVE MONEY orders are with a string of numbers, but the order IDs for the "W" REAL LIVE SIM orders are a string of hexadecimal gibberish. Do you notice this? Here is the other side of the coin that people are calling you on...Show a broker statement. I've done it before, and I have no compunction about doing it again. Redacted of course. Note that today's trades as seen in the trade log will not show up until tomorrow's statement, which comes in early-morning hours. Ergo, I don't have it yet. Alas... You will note that I have redacted personal information, and the 5th digit from the account balances. This is for privacy, of course. In case you do not like to do math, here's the aforementioned live real money trade summary screen without the sim account in there... So that is basically it, Mr. yc47. If you wish to see the evolution of a journal from a regular not-rich person like myself, and see what it is like to be grounded and not a faker, and garner respect amongst the good ETers here, (who by the way, have a fuckton of wisdom to share, should you befriend them and choose to be nice and genuinely wanting to learn), then just do a search up top for "and they have a plan" with my nick in the member name box. You'll find my original journal in there. It is on hold because I took the advice I was given here by some ET friends back in Feb/March, and did not "rush back in to try to make it all back". Unfortunately, I waited a bit longer than I should have, and am only now getting back into the groove. But I refuse to restart that thing until I make back the $20K I lost in the correction. And THAT is REAL LIVE MONEY TRADING. My advice is to take some advice and get a bit more humble here, and NOT be a Charles Tanti. It never works out well for those types. *shrugs*
