    An AGI and UBI future is coming. It somewhat is already here. Almost everyone is going to need to be a trader in the not so distant future.

  5. Not a reply but a demand.

    Are any of you wankers able to prove that you are profitable at day trading?
    Not with a shitty screenshot or a link to your journal, something that we can actually believe, a statement from your broker i.e.

    Maybe we can agree on a two years statement from your live account. It should show trades and balances. That will settle it. The statement should be coming from the broker directly, ideally in pdf format so we can see that has been signed by them.

    Let's see where these big day traders stand at. I have a feeling that we know the answer already.

    Yes.

    Yes.

    But what do I and others gain from proving ourselves to an internet rando? Why should we humor you?

    How about this, you make an open offer to Venmo $300 to each one of us who can show "two years statement" (with personal identification redacted of course) with positive P&L?

    Seems fair to me.

  7. He wants $300 to prove that he is not full of shit. Of course.

    Simply give up day trading. It is almost impossible to profit from day trading.
    Thousands of ET members already said that.

    Some members even suggested investors should HODL stocks for many decades.


    No one is interested in proving to you day trading is highly profitable.
    We have other better things to do.

    OK. I'd better get ready to day trade the coming European session.

    LMAO... You're the real wanker for even demanding such a nonsense.

    Ask yourself. All that in return for what??

    Recognition?
    Who cares.

    Influencer status?
    I've enough money.

    Maybe a book deal?
    Thanks, but I'm not interested in sharing my secrets.

    Be invited to be part of the soon-to-be-published "Unknown Market Wankers"?
    I'm truly honored, but there are one too many wankers out there already.

  10. Thank you for your replies, I was never expecting any of you to prove that you are profitable, essentially because you are not. It was only to double check your excuses.

    The most obvious excuse is: "I am not going to waste my time with you". Such a classic.
    That was sent twice, in three messages.

    I have to admit that it was surprising that someone asked for money to send a statement, that was hilarious.

    Still we need the last excuse to appear, a made up statement without any name of reference to an actual trader. That might appear, pay close attention. The comedy is still on.
