    Mostly valid, but to be fair ET does have pros on here, even if they're a small percentage of active posters. But yeah takes some time to learn identifying them

    No sir. :(

    I am an underdog, always rooting for my fellow underdogs.

    The biggest perk of having huge losses. I am still working on making back my most recent losses if it makes you feel better.

    That's cuz the industry is no stranger to losses and tbh they make even larger losses than us. They just 1) have bigger capital than us and 2) they can get bailouts from the government.

    Again, no disrespect to OP. What you say is nonsensical. You make it sound like they would prefer hiring a trader with a losing record.

    Coming from yourself who truly understands being poor, you see that is what you would do hence why you mention it, up the numbers to make yourself look good, but what if the numbers were downgraded so that poor saps like yourself could, but still don't understand the numbers involved in trading the financial markets.

    Now because your come from that poor background let's say you could recover $130k from a lost $220k account trading similar instruments in a year, which you couldn't, you would take a 20% cut because that is what you believe is the correct value and make your year, apparently you are completely clueless how alpha returns basis works because no one who could recover such an account would take anything less that alpah, such is life :D
