    Nobody in their sane mind is going to post their real account statements here. What good would come out of that ... And if they did the first thing someone would say if they were profitable is that they were photoshopped. Next thing they need some kinda notary or accountant. The whole discussion would evolve into whether this notary or accountant is really real ... we can go on like this forever. This whole thing here is turning into a discussion for kids in the kintergarten ...

    Surf, you know you can make money if acting as a market maker. In fact I saw you state that's it's one of the only real edges you know. When I stated that I was making a nice consistant income with that like 8 years ago on ET people where all over me saying that is it was impossible and that it couldn't be done, that I was lying etc ..... Even some former friends of me from Amsterdam (option or futures market makers) hardly believed I could possibly do that off-floor. Well I quicklly stopped arguing with people as that led me nowhere. A few of my best friends (most of them I only told the story years after it happened) knew how it really was however and saw the proof I was actually making that nice income ... In the end I couldn't care less what most people on the net and living in my city thought of me ...

    Oh, and in fact I lied: my income wasn't 100% from options during that time ... I wrote a few articles about investing around that time ... for which I got paid off course ... each article was worth like half a day trading income like every two months (yup, I got paid well).
    Antoher nice detail: once my brother came to visit me and he had been an university assistant (economics) and he had written his thesis about options. I tried to explain him what I was doing, he didn't understand a thing about it ... up till know he hardly believes me that I made that much at that time when I tell him ... (he is totally anti-trading and investing in the stockmarket ...).

  4. same here, I got paid a couple of times when I went "off course". One was just simple matter of mistakenly hitting the "buy" button instead of the "sell" button. I tried writing about it, but they said, "I wasn't grammarical enough."

  5. That's why in the forex world, we use sites like myfxbook. They are awesome, for making things public or even analyzing your own performance. Today I logged in to see what my st dev was and my expectancy because I had a small loss on Friday.

    It's a shame that it is not available for Ninja. I also have a futures account I'm about to start trading and I'd love to be able to show those results too. I just don't know who to talk to:Ninja or Myfxbook. I think I've only seen 1 photocopied account statement EVER posted on the internet.

  6. I don't know who you think you are fooling

    It takes a long time to learn how to properly lie

    And you have a lot to learn

    and yes, I am calling you a liar

    (takes one to know one)

    just put me on ignore, that's what most of the other one's do when they get caught, and I start making them uncomfortable

    then you can go on feeding your nonsense fantasy, because I know how badly you need it (and after the week I just had I need it really badly.) Now it's your turn to say, "oldtime, I'm sorry you had a bad week, but........." and then carry on with your fantasy

    now, does that answer your question?

  7. @everyone else, is this guy a troll?

    @oldtime You know as well as anyone else on here that it is impossible for me to be lying. Feel free to follow me on Twitter and you can compare what I write there to the results. Also on LinkedIn, same results.

    You already talked about your account balance dwiddling. I've been there, done that and never received a T-shirt. Coming on here and lashing out at people won't exactly help your issues. Best of luck to ya though.

  10. I don't know man, that all happened "after my time"

    I am still amazed you can enter an order on globex and get filled if you are first in line, no matter how big the order behind you is

    but I know a thing or two about bullshitting

    If someone says they are long, that means they are short, but they know you know that, so they say they are short, so you will think they are long, and it goes on and on, probably everybody is just flat

    fulltime forex traders? Yeah, I am one. What do you want to know? You can check me out on twitter

    or better yet, send me a picture of your girlfriend on Facebook and check "like"
