There is still a lot I have to learn, I got caught in a really nasty trade on option ex Friday, didn't think there was this kind of manipulation in the market... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=179532 Goes to show, be careful on option ex.
Quote from StLouisTrader: Since you are not a successful trader and will never be one Your evidence of this? About the only way to know someone has no clue about successful trading, would be if they started a thread with a CLAIM of being successful, simply to try and let others think you were one. oh wait, that is what You did here... how could you possibly think that you would know how one thinks or what they would do? by doing the opposite of deluded & self-proclaimed successful (paper) traders such as yourself. You are a poster child for Desparately seeking Success. You spend your days and nights flaming et posters on almost every thread You seem to have plenty of time conjecturing about what I am doing. If your extremely limited mind could possibly grasp reality, I flame: spammers, those who intentionall mislead others, such as yourself , people who promote/chase things like 50:1+ leverage or other horrible money management methods, people constantly promoting useless things such as Fib, Gann and EW, classic straight use of tech indicators and then get mad when you push for EVIDENCE that these time-worn trinkets have value, people who are racist/abuse other groups, etc. In other words, people who are not doing newer traders any favors. You would be hard pressed to find significant occurrences of things besides things like this It's some closed mind you have thinking that since u cannot make it work that no one can. It's the closed mind of someone who will never be profitable, but please don't let that stop you from sharing your vast wisdom. Funny, that is exactly the whole problem of your thread seeking glory - you word it VERY well. You claimed in the OP to be 1 of the top 12-13 traders on ET. Stop being evasive, and post your verifiable account statements below. You already self-verified your calls here were losing. But what else would we have expected from you and your dialup at the trailer park You do remember the title you gave this thread, don't you? "Confessions of a successful trader"
Wow, good work with all the bolding (and u even know how to use color text as well!) Since I have nothing to sell, why does it bother you so much I claim to be successful? Even if i were flat out lying (and u could prove it for all ET'ers to see) i can't imagine how this thread could be worth so much of your attention unless u are the worthless loser I speculate about in the previous post. I have a prediction: 5 yrs from now I'll still be on ET (and still be making money trading) with not a whole lot more posts than I have today. Your kind (you may not realize what "your kind" is but anyone who's been on et for more than 3 yrs does) seems to accumulate somewhere from 6-8k posts before never being heard from again. I see you're well over half way to this apparent "glass ceiling" so enjoy yourself reaching it and signing off of ET for good! Feel free to PM me in 5 yrs if i'm wrong and I'll make a public apology. Cheerio!

Because you need psychotherapy. If you need that further highlighted, let me know. The other person here who starts threads about how he is successful, has about 70 aliases and is widely recognized as a delusional basement dweller. How many other threads do you see the successful ET traders starting here to draw attention? I have a prediction: 5 yrs from now I'll still be on ET blah blah... I have been here far longer than yourself. So your judgment appears to be as delusional as your claim.
That's what i think. It was hard for me to get over the hump of shelling out that much cash, but what i finally decided was that if i were to ever to blow up, the only thing worse would have been that plus never spending money along the way.
