  2. That's why I think only real proof of ability (still doesn't prove one is actually taking the trades) is a chatroom with voice function/screen sharing.
    I was in such a room about 5 years ago with a brilliant equities trader from trade2win.
    There was no ambiguity.
    ''Long KLAC here at 40.00. 15c stop. 35c target''
    Sure enough, at the time he spoke and called the trade, you could also buy Klac at the same price.
    I was clear after a day or two that this guy had a real edge and was killing the market.

    I think someone offered to pay for such a room recently in another thread to put this sort of discussion to bed, but unsurprisingly, those challenged turned the other way.

    During my studies I found great ways to enter, but not necessarily exit, plus I'm a scalper. Considering letting winners run is the prime ingredient of my positive expectancy my solution was to enter like a scalper and scale out like a swing trader.

    Perhaps it's a cute nick, but it's what describes me best.

    Best wishes, thanks for sharing freely, regardless of details, a commendable act.

    Exiting is very often a bitch, esp if one hasn't put his ego issues to rest. I'd be interested in your exit tactics if you feel like sharing them. If not, that's fine. Maybe a chart or two to illustrate if you don't want to get into lengthy explanations.

  5. Yup, or you can forego any semblance of legitimacy and simply take credit for moves after the fact like DBPhoenix. I stated that he can login into my account this weekend (can't trade, obviously) to prove the trades taken in my "1615" account. And yeah, I was up this week.

    I'll even let him do it first, but then it's my turn with his account.

    Actually I don't care if he even trades. I'm interested in his work.

    Are you in free-wheeling attack mode? Shall we all move to another thread in order to exchange ideas?

  7. I am referring to you. It's 2014. Mar 29.

    Why don't you stick to one of your own 10 active threads then? Or do you own this site, scammer? I love how you use "exchange ideas" euphemistically as an angle to dupe ppl. Hey Bro, drop it. You simply ain't that smart. Either you have fragile ego Syndrome or you're trying to dupe ppl into managing OPM. Nobody is going to give you a dime. Altruism? Plz. Nobody blows the time needed to spend every waking hour on here like you do. How many threads have you personally authored in the last six months, 20?

    You don't trade. Which at the very least should raise some eyebrows on a TRADING FORUM.

  10. Produce a link to any post you've written in which you produced a viable round-turn trade, with entry and exit and I will never quote your sorry ass again.
