I post trades to show that you can lift offers profitably. I've had my IRA for going on 25 years and I find that it was preferable to do my personal trading in my IRA even though my comms are (relatively) terrible in the mIRA. I've worked mostly on the buy-side but had a couple of bank gigs; well one OMM and one bank. I had one lucky year and decided to go back to grad school. I left CIS to work at State as my family had done before me. I do have a symmetric 100x100 fiber connection but otherwise I use commercially available tools. Mac trashcan, unix boxes, PC for DOM and excel. TT for futures. So it's my belief that (someone) showing trades is important on a trading site. Those that troll but don't post marketable trades are obvious bust-outs like schweiz, etc. I wouldn't visit the ES Journal as futures entries, even on a swing basis, offer no color. Vol-trading is ALL color and curvature. I see no use to posting Delta1.
You Sir, are a f*cking idiot. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/malicious-trolling-and-stalking.323122/page-5#post-4692997 And she has clearly stated that she trades FX futures. FX futures volume is nearly as worthless as OTC volume: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/forex-discussion.323075/page-5#post-4692071 Funny, though. She refers to 6E as "E6" which is the dyslexic nomenclature?
Going to start my trading journal this Sunday. I funded a live trading account two weeks ago for short term only trades. An appropiate title might be Dunning-Kruger Journal as I have lost money in each of the last two weeks after talking big. I will include screenshots that will include my statistics for your enjoyment. The way I am doing short term trading, I would easily make a fortune doing a live call service. Subscribers would know to do the opposite of my calls and enjoy a 86% or so win rate!
Personally, I’d love to see a “paper trade dashboard” of some sorts here where people would make live calls and you’d be able to track their success rates. Right now, it’s too anecdotal - some people remember other people’s successes, some failures and it really becomes a way to express a personal opinion
