Everybody is profitable when they say so on an anonymous thread and post trades that go against them by 250 points. I have not seen anyone ever post a summary of their calls with P/L totalled. Just non-stop calls repeated on long and short intraday swings but who knows what the net is if it is not posted or recorded. After a while all the calls get buried and people can quickly pull up the WINNER that moved 8 points their way and ignore the other 20 calls that were wrong.
I actually did it a few times. Once when being called a paper trader. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/es-journal-archive-2011.233957/page-1067#post-3280316 I don't have any interest in calling trades any longer. It's of no real value for me and probably not for anyone else either. But I do like to post commentaries on ES whenever I feel like it. I don't always trade my 'commentaries' though. I miss eudaemon by the way.
