marketsurfer - those are LIVE accounts. myfxbook verifies the information with the brokers. If you see the two green checkmarks, then they verified everything. I, personally, don't accept demo results. Demo and live are two different animals. If I didn't have trading, I'd be f****d cause there aren't many well-paying jobs where I live. And the wife likes to live well. If you want to post some profitability stats or verified-3rd-party stats, I'd love to see them.
With respect, what inadequacy are you trying to compensate here with this never ending passionate attempt to prove a negative? Who wakes up in the morning, especially of the OPM class, and decides today will be the day they lay it down on.....retail FX traders.. Of what significance is it and how can your time with your claimed position be worth so little...I would not let anyone within a million miles of my funds to trade or direct into other operations if they could not perform the basic function of being consistently profitable in FX, when it comes the the black holes infecting your logic, the almost superstitious stance you have towards one area of the market, the thought of people giving you funds is laughable.. You are just sat there with an empty bucket demanding someone fill it, with the years you claim to have been involved in the market you still lack the connections to expanded into this area and you have not got the expertise to approach it your self. You very much remind me of a European politician.
you haven't heard of myfxbook because I bet you are in the US where they love to show fictitious speadsheets (Madoff). I don't trust anything that isn't verified by a 3rd party. Ninja statements, what a joke! Someone can be doing everything in SIM mode. I don't have a problem telling people my trading account size or number of lots I trade, privately, if I know them better. I'm actually from the Land of the Free, but I've lived someplace else for many moons. Do I still have to file US taxes. Yep. Does it suck having to file in 2 diffferent countries. Absolutely. I came here to this site to try to get some kind of work trading so I could convince my wife to move to the US with me to get out of this double-filing requirement. If I live there, I only have to pay there. Alas, it appears there really aren't any jobs in trading unless you have some really good connections.
Surf is just sore because he has had a bad year with the PD's and if surf can't make it after 20 yrs of trying, he's not going to give ground to anyone else who is making it. Though I am not posting for surf's enlightenment, let's see what happens when I post the statements later this weekend.
yep, round lots. Multiples too, especially for intraday cause stops are narrower and feels like less risk. I'm all-in and all-out because I haven't gotten around to installing the EA that will scale-out. I get $3 for every lot I trade in rebates that go to my paypal account every month When I first got started I would drop down 10 lots. Nowadays, I work with less, but still make the same money. Today is an exception in my stats, I woke up too late and only got 10.5 pips and then gave back 3.5 on a different trade. 25 pips/day is my average. My favourite pair is the EURJPY. After I get the "American Question" resolved - whether I'm going to hold onto US Citizenship or dump it, I'll open EVERYTHING up, except individual trades. Why show someone how do it when it took me years! Right now I have two different governments sending me letters (got one yesterday!!) saying to either file returns or pay up. This is why I will not discuss this sort of thing in public. If there are any other "US Persons" living overseas on here, they'll likely know what I'm talking about. BTW - CLOSED END funds still exist. There are some really good sites with filters so you can find them. I was looking for some income-gernating ETFs the other day, but the charts look nasty. I prefer to stay in cash.
My performance was crap until I stopped trying to trade newbie divergences and other indicators. There are so many people who pimp that stuff. OP, if you're doing that, stop. If someone is struggling and wants to trade in a chat room, I can refer one. The guy is in New York. He's up 50%+ this year, but I never traded his way. When I opened my mouth there, saying that I trade my own accounts, the attendees [groupies] unleashed their wrath on me. I was basically tormented until I left. I would so love to send him an email showing him my performance Still, US-based, hard to find anyone say anything bad about him. Just send me a PM if interested. Trust me, we're not friends. I just know that someone is LESS likely to blow an account with him versus most other chatroom operators.
One guy or girl is a retail rebate FX trader??, and XSPurt promises statements next week. Right!? surf Ps. What's rebate FX trading? Can someone explain.
