    I think he means everyone on ET.

    Very few members, if any, post proof of profitability therefore it is reasonable to assume everyone here is a loser.

    And why would anyone post "proof" and to whose benefit?

    I never said anyone should post proof. I just said with the lack of any proof we have to assume loser status.

    People will "assume" what they will. There are a few rational reasons to post profitability...a vendor looking to sell something or a guru type looking for clients. Most of us who trade for a living are not looking for sales or clients. The other reason I can think of is ego...and that's a lousy reason.

    posting brokerage statements without my real name in it is meaningless and should i disclose my real name when it is not necessary?

    There have been a great many posts with the sole aim to assist another, but they are buried in innumerable pages of nonsense, boasting and petty bickering.

    Sorry about that, saw all of those dots and thought WTF. I suggest you parse your findings into times of day as well. RTM 1 hour before closing bell on Friday is never a good idea.
