Sniff..sniff.. Anyone else smell that? LMAO! [/QUOTE] Earlier this month an ES trader who posts regularly to the P/L thread posted a 100k loss and no one questions his integrity. Well, if you can lose 100k in a day it is also possible to take 100k out of this market. Why not focus on getting your own trading to that level instead of trashing a trader who shares with others?
You're reading more into my post than is actually there. I'm not asking for proof, and I'm not trying to figure out the details of what Anekdoten is doing. I simply remarked that the reported profit was very impressive and so I was curious about trade size and frequency. You may wish to re-read my original post on page 467 of this thread (which you quoted).
Anek ( and other people) have given of their free time (what little there is of it) to help other traders. To respond in kind with sincerity all day long is hard on the mental senses. Anek's a good trader, and he's been posting great info and from what I've read, has actually made some people more profitable. So....lets keep this thing positive and in the true spirit of what ET is supposed to be--a place to share and vent your frustrations with the market...not each other. Think about this..there aren't many other threads on ET that really try to help the "other" guy so what's gonna happen when this one is gone due to the 'good guys" getting tired of the BS?? Best thing to do is IGNORE the detractors and focus on what YOU can do the help the OTHER guy. You won't be able to keep what you get unless you give it away. Good luck and good trading to all of you! GT
The envy and jealousy is so very clear among the losers and skeptics. Anek frequently visits an IRC channel to share his views in a closed channel that is mostly European. Take a wild guess as to what is his origin??? Not just today but on a daily basis he is about the only person there that massacres the market. Today, as always no exception. This is from today..... * Anek buys NQ 85 (1st unit in), intraday swing * Anek buys NQ 88.25 (2nd unit in), intraday swing etc etc Take a wild guess as to where he sold??? Yep, right at resistance while averaging up like a madman and doing it all via live plays. Envious losers you should be glad he decided to share some of his trading wisdom. Daniel
Thunderdog, looks like you missed Anek by about 15 hours via your first question around 11:34am. Thus, you may want to send him a pm or email with your questions concerning his profit statement that was posted elsewhere at ET because he did state he'll be away from trading and the thread. (I do understand you can't ask these questions in the Trader P/L thread). My point is that some may see it as questioning the truthfulness of his statement even though you have clarified you aren't. Regardless, it may (usually does) encourage others to drop by with new October alias to start some coward like mudslinging while Anek is gone (such wouldn't occur while he was here). In fact, based upon what I've seen in many journals of the past... Questions like that are easily misinterpreted and the usual crap starts. With that said, now that a few October aliases (first time posters) have shown up to start the mudslinging... Those using Anek's methodology will show up to defend him. That in itself may just bury your original question underneath a lot of dirt (pun intended) before Anek returns. Heck, if your lucky, maybe the moderator will show up to clean house after receiving the first complaint from those benefiting from this thread. In fact, if I was Anek, upon returning... I would ask the moderator to delete all posts that have nothing to do with this thread after he left along with closing the thread since phase I is complete. Next, I would respond to your (Thunderdog's) question via pm only. Last of all, I would start the second thread called phase II. P.S. I hope he doesn't respond to anything posted after he left while he's away enjoying life. Mark
For what is worth, I asked Anek what other ET posters he thought offered high quality material to learn from in the ET forums and he listed three. One of them was NihabaAshi, spoke very highly of his wisdom and quality posts. The other one was the market commentrary of Ivica? Spelling there might be a little off. The last one was future something 71, need to check my notes. Thought I would share and take this opportunity to thank (Mark) for the commitment to help among us struggling traders. Daniel
The methods in this forum go back seventy years or more to the writings of William Dunnigan, one of the fathers of trend following. His books, btw, are STILL in print, I think. Others have since picked up on these old ideas and traders still use them (Gee, I wonder why. Maybe is because they actually WORK). Anek has been nice and gracious enough to try to help others by clearly laying out the time-tested basics of trend following. There is more truth on the first page of this thread than there is in many trading books going for $89 more a pop. Newbies should be thanking him. Jealousy and envy do not belong here.
Meanwhile back at the ranch, anyone positioning to catch the break out of the ST forming in the ES? Goop..., I went short @1548 and hanging in there, without AHG, I would have covered long ago
