    <b>virgin</b>, congrats on earning +76% returns on your account last year. How about sharing one blotter with ET? Just one, that's all.

    Pardon me, but how did I get "invited" to post hypothetical trades with you? I merely said ET's collective members have no idea if you actually trade. That didn't imply you had ability or not... it flat-out means do or don't, as in action verb.

    In all honesty, I really don't care if you trade or not. What's it to me? I'm just a contributing member of ET <b>exactly as you are</b>. Matter of fact, I'm starting to feel a warm kinship with you. Mind if I call ya "bro"?

    *

    I haven't posted here lately because there is nothing to contribute to. Look around you, bro. Read the threads. Nothing but Jack Hershey obsessions and other rubbish. Outside of the ES Journal and P&L 2007, there is scant little worth reading.

    Nothing compels me to contribute in here right now. If we have any positive topics of conversation ahead, I'll drop in and add what I can. Until then, please enjoy your ceaseless witchhunts. Hope you have fun with that.

    BTW... feel free to post trades at will. Like I said before, ET has never seen one lone blotter from you, ever. We know you can do it, so go ahead and show us how it's done!

    Take great care, bro. See you soon :D

    at my web site there was code in text format only. there were no files to download it was cut copy paste. there was a guy named rich creal or something like that who was selling some stuff but that was not me.

    if you do a search on anything like mark brown or oddball systems you will never find one complaint about virus or worms etc. i think your lashing out at the wrong person.

    ps you mentioned the name 8ball there were some guys with many spin offs of oddball and i recall that was the nem of one of them. i had nothing to do with that.


    PS IF IT WILL GET ME GURU STATUS "UNDENIABLY" I WILL POST TRADES IN REAL TIME AS THEY HAPPEN. I SHOULD BE AWARDED ET REAL GURU STATUS! OK HOW ABOUT IT?:D

    Anyone who posts on ET and has the intent to profit from a book, website, newsletter, etc. and does not pay Baron to be here, is a fraud IMO.

    Austinp :" From that $800 I traded one-lot ER leveraged up to one-lot per $1,500 balance all the way to $64,000+ in less than seven weeks. What annual % return is that?"

    Audit that performance or let me know when we meet in the chat room for some live calls .

    I wholeheartedly agree. This is a fine, casual atmosphere for traders to drop by and share a couple of virtual drinks with friends.

    Make mine a Blue Lite bottle, skip the glass :cool:

    You are such a comedian, we all know you are a vendor, change your username to one that is not linked to your real name,like most here, if you don't want to be accused of running a hidden agenda

    any vendor that claims to trade , but doesn't post his performance, should be avoided at all cost
    and when they come with lame excuses like "we are not allowed by regulators" tell them there is nothing illegal by posting authentic track records

    Sounds great, my brotha from anotha mutha :D

    How's tomorrow work for you? I'll be trading the ES, 5 to 20 lots depending on market setups. Please feel free to trade whatever you want, any size large or small.

    Show me where, and I'm there.

    No worries if some of our posts are lagging in timestamps... that's perfectly ok. We'll be posting our live trades from real accounts, complete with fill times and order #s in the blotters. I'm quite sure our friends here at ET would like to see real traders trading real money, would you agree?

    I assume you have a screen capture program to snare your brokerage platform pages with. If not, please shoot me an email and I'll send you mine.

    Looking forward to trading with you soon!

    that is a pretty good call out.

    You are on your way to being bogus free. If you back it up with real trades even over one day i will be impressed. if you do it over multiple days - you are non bogus.
