+1 I considered writing some advice on what you should do to stay but that would just be feeding in to exactly the same thing you always do, so no thank you. Just leave, Inow, just leave man. Your time has come. You had a good run.
Has increasenow actually proved he is trading the things he says in this journal? If he can't prove it I think he is a paid poster and is wasting everyones time.
would you allow me to post my end of day transactions of real trading one more time and...go from there?
Nah, there is no point. The first day of your 'OFFICIAL NOTICE' about trading only gold and you already quit. I think everyone is tired of you 'crying wolf' on a multitude of topics. I can't speak for everyone, but in my mind this 'gold only' week was your last straw. Your last chance to be taken seriously and you blew it. I think it would just be best for you to leave ET and stop posting for good. It seems like the perfect time to part ways, in light of the aforementioned 'official notice' debacle.
I think we can all agree that we view an IC journal bc of the potential train wreckage. This guy is the poster-child for adderall. If he were remotely coherent nobody would view. IC, right now Gold on Oanda is 80-cents wide. At 4:48 pm. You can play it for as little as a penny a tick. You're going to blowout trading Sugar. The freaking locals can't make money in Sugar and you're going to go from zero to 100 in it? I hate to sound like I am shilling for Oanda, but it's perfection for small accounts like yours who need to make the transition from sim to real money. 10 units = $10 a point at $225 in margin. Gain some real-money experience $10 at a time.
I know some of you want to see this journal moved to Chit Chat, and given increasenow's past history I don't blame you at times. But for now this journal will remain here and I ask that everyone address each other in a civil manner with respect. If clicking this thread brings you pain and frustration then simply don't click it, there's certainly enough other threads that you could spend your time on. If you'd like to hang around here and interact or try to help out, that's great. If you feel that's a waste of your time, that's also fine, then please do the intelligent thing and ignore this thread. And if you decide to leave do not fear about clicking one of IC's journals on the Home page since this one (and any future journals) will always start with the words "IncreaseNow's...." so no excuses for accidentally stumbling in. But enough whining, as some of you are taking things far too seriously...
Does ET really need the exposure of someone like Increase Now posting usless things, and obvioulsy if you have read his previous journals over the past 2 years they are of all the same thing and nothing new. He adds nothing to the website of Elitetrader, if someone new comes along they would be turned off by him. Its a shame you let him continue this. It is what it is I guess. Hopefully he will realize what he does and stop but atleast you have him put his name on the journal, thats a start.
Does this 'respect' go for Increasenow as well? Because I wouldn't consider asking for specific help, someone taking the time to help him out with a well thought out answer and then him turning around and doing the exact opposite, respectful. Nor would I consider it respectful when, after this goes down, he comes right back and asks the same question again as if it's the first time he is asking it. Now multiply this scenario by 500 and that's Inow for you. Just because someone plays the passive aggressive game and then falls back on the "well I've never cursed at you nor ever put you down, I'm the victim game' doesn't mean they are innocent. But, you are right, this is not a life or death situation and maybe some of us are taking this too seriously. So perhaps I need to readjust my attitude. If this journal is going to stay and others will follow then I will support Inow in whatever he does. Gooooo Inow!!!! Tomorrow you kick some tail at whatever of the 500 contracts you will be following!!!
