Dest is not warm and fuzzy and can be downright brutal but he doesn't suffer fools and charlatans. He is a very smart guy and sure as hell is expert on things which interest him...including trading.
As far as I'm concerned - most people on ET are lying to some extent and I take what everyone says with a grain of salt. It can get annoying for example when B1S2 says the market never traded below a certain price for the remainder of the session (and it clearly did), but can't say I lose sleep over it. D has asked for my blotter as well, but I won't share it to someone who so clearly disrespects me just to prove something to him. He also has me on ignore. Why? Because I called him out on a call which went wrong. Because like B1S2 - he also likes to celebrate his winners, but not his losers.
Best to simply avoid the drama, it's irrelevant to one's trading. ET is a place to socialize some and help a newbie along. Best to not get caught up in who is for real and who is not...what difference does it make?
Ok, it can make a difference to the new or struggling trader receiving bad info or guidance...that does bother me.
Well said. With exception if an incognito vendor of sorts, which is not applicable (imo) to any of the personas mentioned or participating in THIS convo.
