It doesn't matter, it is outside of anyone's control, Baron does his best to keep everyone happy, there are tools he has supplied to assist, therefore use them, it is what it is, no web site will be perfect and ET is a great site. Ignore those who annoy you, place those whom you respect into 'Your News Feed' then use that feature and most of the bad issues will disappear. The fact is, open ongoing negative criticism of what Baron has provided is in itself self sabotage of what you are wanting. Remain positive and focus on the silver lining, not the cloud. Peace bro.
Reply is inline below, "El OchoCinco, post: 4733099, member: 35483"]The shit show has hit new heights when the mods ban those calling out the bullshit and let the bullshitters keep posting. Which real trader has been banned? Destriero seems safe as this point as complaints against him are old and getting older. You consider Vanzandt a bullshitter? He has made some good calls and has supported his ideas. Destriero has thrown out some of his trades and has even written a few words on why he did something, but usually it is hard to understand what he means. Other than when he is insulting someone, he does not usually communicate well when he talks trading. To Mr. D's credit, he has answered quite a few newby questions. Have you seen the low level posts that are popping up daily with the same bullshit over and over demanding ( like they are owed shit) information on trading ( fuck them) It sounds like you professional traders want respect, acknowledgement, and some goddamn gratitude. It is hard for some, such as myself to take ranters, whiners, and abusers seriously. I have found those who lash out at others unprovoked invariably have financial and or other problems in their life. or the naive ignorant posts on debating day trading v. Swing or some other meaningless bullshit. Newby traders are by definition naive and will ask questions that seem stupid to a knowlegeable person. You seem naive for expecting your ranting to change basic human behavior and interactions. Funny how many posts pop up of the " if cannot do it or understand it it is bullshit no matter what you say" theme or the " look at my 1 contract tick phucks, I am a master trader!" You have never seen bragging in other competitive endeavors? You have never met a Dunning Kreager affected individual? My advice for you is to get to your safe place before true competitive banter reaches your ears! Anyone who feels they need to show off and rave about returns here is just showing their ass. That is why it is so easy to spot the newbies who think they mastered it because if 3 months of good trading or are just faking it. Actually, Destriero has demanded strong proof that someone was trading a live account. He also stated he wanted trade times, entries, and stops on posted trades. So those of us with years in this can easily spot the floating turds in this toilet and try to flush them but they just keep coming back. Why do you feel you have to flush all the turds you come across in your life? Wouldn't you feel happier if you accepted reality? No need to wait for a mod to weave the smallest bit of power to ever go to someone's head to ban me I will just self ban myself and stick to only posting in private messages/threads. If I were a mod the post count and numbers here would be cut in half but that does not work for advertising I guess. Seems like a weak, retreating response. If the real purpose of you and Destriero posting in a public forum is to be worshipped and admired by a multitude of minions, you both are going to need to up your game in my opinion. I has seen some of your impressive trades and reasoning behind some of them. You have been responsive to people's questions. However, a true professional has positive attributes beyond his chosen profession. The question in my mind is your posting going to be more about you or more about helping others? So unless it is a private thread to answer i find no more use taking time away from trading to post in threads or read some of the posers who write 12 paragraphs of logorrhea or demand some prove to them traders make money. Trading is not a science with proofs and no one owes you shit just because you are a failure. We are all failures at something. Some fail in trading. Some fail in personal relations... Isn't the basic purpose of social media and blogging is to share ideas and help people?
I never mentioned anyone by name. Seems ET will function just fine without me and I tend to make more money when I am not on it anyway. I don't need any pats on the back from an anonymous forum, many here do I guess since so many brag about likes. If likes mean that much to you maybe some other people will like your post for you .
Some days are good days, other times we have bad days, today might be a bad day. This too will pass. Go grab a beer and chill, watch some tv or get some fresh air in the park, give ET a rest for a short while, come back refreshed. We still luv ya.

I changed my mind. This threads is not so bad. There seem to be a lot of posting from the Desterio gang. The more and the longer they post here, the less they spoil other threads or annoy other people. Let's keep them busy!
You came on the competition thread boasting about shorting naked combos, i.e., low risk. I have a cash MF that has more volatility that your journal. Trading VXX for 30-40 cents? You're up what, $500? My kids $15,000 account is up $1,100 in two weeks at a PTT draw of $230. I've never asked for anyone to provide stops. I asked @optionsinvestor to provide a single time and sales figure. I asked because he was posting trades which could not have occurred. Baron also asked for time and sales data and then he (OI) disappeared.
