    That's fine, not everybody has the traits required. But how is $20K related to that? :confused:

    The OP and I had a colorful exchange around page 11 of this thread, which was subsequently deleted by a moderator. I challenged him to put some coin in escrow with baron and I would provide one week of live calls, in this thread. It was decided that instead of live calls (which he couldn't "trust"), he would prefer to put up 20 grand for audited statements. Or perhaps, 20 grand for a profitable, blackbox system.

    Here are some day trade results net minus comms over the past 2 weeks from two main TA setups I use, just playing around with tiny risk. The buy signal is the ABC12 setup I showed in my journal.

  4. Defiantly worth 20 k...lol
    :p

    But its always good to have data, is there any evidence it is not paper trading?

    I like to compare apples with apples.

    If trading is impossible, as you say, why are you here?

    Are we talking about an edge here or psychological moments of trading? If the first, then paper trading or not is completely irrelevant. And if the second, I can help one for less than $20K to cope with those issues. :D

    Just throwing it out there. You offer nothing in return for my efforts, unlike The Market, which is willing to pay me for my transactionz

    :eek:

  8. I guess its value is subjective. to you it has more meaning then to me. I probably wouldn't even add up the totals to see how much you gained over the time period.

    I'm just curious if i can use the data to pinpoint how much you pay in slippage as on another thread some one tries to take advantage of slippage. but knowing what I will do means that the data set is now too risky to draw conclusions on.

    I place a limit at the ask and get filled there, so the slippage has been 0.

    Or.... you will not get filled and miss the trade.... which will cost you much more in loss of profit.
