Ugh my name is emg, I post talking points. What you made 1600% gain, well statistics that some douche made up says, âblah, blah, blahâ¦â¦â¦â¦..I am a turd sandwich.â <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o> </o> I shorted CL at 106.1 today emg, and covered close to a 105.1 target once a got to a proprietary signal to kill it. Are you scared?!??! If I make 3 to 1 on my bets or more and I am only right 50% of the time, what can I expect to make on average, emg? If I start with a 2k account and win consistently am I still doomed to fail since I never studied keynisan economics at the shallow and decayed halls of acdemia that are notorious for handing out degrees in uselessness? <o> </o> You might be trying to help warn retail to stay out, if that is the case then I agree with you, but your doomsday fatalism is being grossly misapplied to traders that have proven themselves. P.S. those are called rehetorical questions, please don't bother answering them. Don't go away mad, just go away.
Oh and for the real record, 90% of successful floor traders that use to work at CME, CBOT, and NYMEX never even went to college, most barely graduated H.S.* <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o> </o> Furthermore, most of them started out trading a small account and proprietary funds worth less than most people carry on their wrists (i.e. expensive watches) and went from rags to riches. It was one of the best ways for blue collar lower class people to zoom to upper middle class if not super rich status. Trading is a specific and unique skill set period! A formal education is less than useless and not applicable to it at all. You develop the skill and you can become successful, nothing more and nothing less. Saying you have to get a Harvard MBA and have 5 million to trade is the equivalent of saying that is the same requirements to be a skilled basketball player. I think I hear the ghetto laughing. <o> </o> I am the right brain of ES Shooter, I am pure TA, and developed a proprietary system so accurate and paint pictures so pretty that you would piss your pants if you saw me calling the swing high and low points in any vehicle. <o> </o> My left brain has the psychology down, and understands who the players are, and how and where they are trying to push the market. He understands the time factor to the T, and developed a gun slinging pit style approach to trading that allows the huge gains you see documented in here. <o> </o> My previous post says it all anyway, if we are right only 50% of the time on our bets (yes bets!) but make 3 to 1 or moreâ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦..how exactly are we going to lose again? <o> </o> *I used to work down there and knew a ton of them.
I never said it CAN'T be done, I said you are too new to know for sure you "have it"! Two very different things my friend. Secondly, the ET way? You just signed up here....are you implying you've had other accounts here in the past from which to draw this conclusion??
You hit the nail on the head, it is pretty clear he is just a troll sock puppet His opening Post: When an experienced trader [Handle] provided constructive advice, he responded by calling him an "old timer" and how his [recent 1 month performance 1600%] says different. Whose performance would you prefer to have. The Wannabee's or Handles? His posts became derogatory, Suggesting 99% of ET uses TS automation 50 ema and imply aren't doing so well. Fat Nerds, Morons, SF Parade comments, Subway mgr, A-hole, etc... Then comes the hilarious part, Only to reveal that his superior system allows a 65% drawdown on ONE TRADE and then he takes pride in not being stopped out taking credit for recovering part of the drawdown as if that is some superior skill. So no, his style isn't like some nitwit who just goes long in the market, it's more like some nitwit who just stares at the screen as his losses mount, rely's on HOPE, and if not taken completely out, says "damn I'm smooth". He characterized his problem as being underfunded [outside of his control] When in fact the problem is that he over-leverage's [completely within his control]. Then to puff up his chest feathers he claims that he will be funding an account with $250-$300 K, that he worked on the floor of the CBOT as a broker to impress people and somehow validate his abilities and resources. - [going to be interesting to see how that 65% draw-down rule is handled in a real account He doesn't have much positive to say about retail traders, which is odd, because that is exactly how he has depicted himself. In a previous post he accused someone of Ad Hominem attacks, but he uses them extensively. He is either a Troll or an overly confident clueless wannabee. [is that considered ad hominum? - oops, my bad] [The screenshots he provided to the contrary are irrelevant, wtf cares what he did on some cherry picked day 2 weeks ago or what his desktop looks like. He and grutrader have a lot in common, no value or substance, both threads entertainment only.
You left out the short order cook at a male strip club part. Guess you didnt see he told me I should give up and buy a subway franchise. Hate all you want on that so called cherry pick, which is what I expect it to be called by a bunch of hacks. I wish I could say I am amazed that no one asked my why I shorted there, but sadly im not amazed
Thanks doji. I looked through some of your posts and saw as es post that looks like you noticed some of the same things in the market that i do too !
