There's been a lot of activity this morning and I don't really feel like reading through all this. Did you actually post a live call with an entry and an exit? I were reading some of your initial posts, but they were mostly stating what was going on right now and what could happen, didn't see a trade there, but maybe it came later.
She couldn't back up the trade with a blotter if her life was dependent. 200 words of complete BS or simply: Bot at y. Stop at x.
Good post. I take it you believe it takes more than triangles and learning to draw straight lines on a chart to create a robust system? What you're saying about day trading is very true and sums up why it's inherently more difficult to master than swing trading or long-term trading. When I was swing trading, I could go weeks and even months without a trade or conversely being months in a trade.
Since you are being regarded by some as one of the 'authentic' traders on this site, I just wanted to ask you a question regarding probability. What is your probability assessment that Nodoji is not a profitable trader? How would you size this trade?
People who have to defend themselves constantly in order to "prove" they are good traders without just showing proof are either really f-ing bored and like to argue or they are just stupid. I honestly doubt many winning traders would waste their time defending x,y,z to show how good they are to a bunch of posters on a board. Just post blotters or pnl statements. You think Tiger Woods is worried about defending how good he is at golf? Lol, no. He just says, "Look at my stats bitch". In my experience in life, business, sport, tiddly winks, the mediocre people are the ones who feel the need to tell everyone how good they are at an activity. The best are usually just recognized as the best or have the stats to back it up.
I'm not mentoring anyone. I've yet to come across anyone who will conduct a simple statistical analysis to determine whether there's a way to achieve positive expectancy under a set of defined conditions.
