Now now fellas... he deserves some credit... He captured 361.5 points for all of last year ($18,075)... he did beat the market! But given the amount of ES travel during 2018... I'll just say it's not even close to the kind of numbers I would be happy with. To each their own.
You know that's complete fiction, right? Anyone want to take the trouble to sift through the journal to vet that claim when the guy lost >300 in December alone?
Yep. He is the one putting together the fictitious numbers and he has a captive audience for this b.s. It seems everyone forgets about the "10x leverage" blow out trades from Jan-Feb-Mar and once again in Oct-Nov-Dec. What this guy does only works in a sub-15 VIX market (namely buy and hold and not chop and stop constantly).
Actually, I DON'T think it's fiction. B1S2 is a position trader. What IS fiction is him saying he wants to "get a feel" for intraday trading... He has no interest, zero, in changing his trading. His inflexibility keeps him at minimum wage or below. And has for several years, as seen through the annual journals he has maintained here on ET. The alternative is that he belongs in Guinness World Records for longest paper-trading hobbyist. Anything is possible on ET.
It IS fiction. You are conveniently forgetting the numerous 10x leverage -60 to -80 pts per contract stop outs in the highly volatile periods.
Nice run from 2482 back up to 2495. This second pullback so far smaller in nature is key to a springboard to 2500 and perhaps the full test on 2530. I am staying long for now.
2482 area now ensconced as short term support as we have now printed 2499. It's unlikely that we'll trade below 2477 the rest of the day.--May be able to test the 2530 today or tomorrow.
He lost over 300 points in one week in Dec, and that was before he went to the "10x leverage" fiasco. You know that "361.5 pt" number was simply pulled out of thin air.
