No, it's not. You can only be fired for cause in the US; felony arrest, sexual assault, outright racist speech.
That actually used to be true in the old "demo" accounts. You probably never ever executed options in a "paper trading" account. You do not know what you are talking about. You are forgiven.
@fullautotrading, you should go back to running the Nigerian prince scam... you'll have more luck with that. No one in their right mind is going to give you a backdoor into their machine so you can install a million lines of Italian spaghetti code.
You do realize that you are just supplying Dest with more ammo to eviscerate you? By claiming he does not know WTF he is on about in a paper-trading account insinuates that you claim that he has been doing it all only in real accounts. So because he has been doing it for real, and you have been doing it for fake, you are the better person, because you know what the deal is in fake accounts? Interesting psychology there.
"Paper trading" accounts are not "fake" accounts. These are just facilities with real-time data provided by reputable brokers to let people experiment before committing. I can only illustrate on the paper trading accounts as obviously I cannot show the real money of my investors (unless with permission). I have been doing this for years on ET. But everyone, sufficiently capitalized, can do it and has my permission to publish the results here. The problem is that he is talking about things about which he has no idea (since he never executed them on paper) and creating outright lies just to defame and be provocative. And the other problem is that some people discussing here are undercapitalized and have no real idea what it means to manage large accounts, and what it means to consistently build a profit using large sums. This is the opposite of gambling.
Is this a second account of the Donkey, or is it your own childish initiative to badmouth out-of-nothing people who you know nothing about? People who could be your father or your professor? Grow up, boy. Life is hard: you will not go far with this attitude!
You have no idea of ETers capitalization, nor do we have any idea as to your capitalization. Always an excuse as to why you don't show a production account. I posted two seven figure days with my account number showing on my journal. Retail account, no LLC. I have 2FA so there is no risk to the account. So no, we're not buying what you're selling. If you're going to market your PM-capabilities you're going to have to do better than shorting unlimited risk in dime-bag puts. No legit vol-manager shorts 80 cent ES puts to open a position. I've traded on the buy side with a couple large funds. You'd be shown the door.
My friend, I do not have such a small account that I can show publically. Do I have to make a drawing to explain? Sorry, it's simply not going to happen. Again anyone can come forward and has my full permission to show in full details, using his own real money account, all that will happen. I renounce my share for this time alone. Anyone? I am sorry you are undercapitalized. Not my fault. Sure, if I had an account like yours, I would show it. No problem Now go make your wife happy by buying something on Amazon!
I guarantee that I've had PNL days larger than your entire net worth... and between the two of us I've shown it in real-time.
