There are three things I can say with certainty. I know first hand OIs trades are legit because I've followed some. OI is unconcerned about proving it to anyone (because those profits are legit). And there is a lot to be learned from this thread--time would be better spent reading quality content than diluting it.
As many people said before the ET is mainly for entertainment only, as many good threads were eventually ruined, and sooner or later this would probably face the same fate. Time to have some more tea and watch some more Neflix on such a nice Friday night.
Dude, he edited the $11 call form $12. Two people on here saw it and PMed me. You don't need to fake and edit fills if you're legit. This is marketsurfer-esque bullshit. Further--he cares. He cares or he wouldn't devote thousands of characters daily to this in real-time and fail to post prices. The ONLY plausible result is that it's horseshit. ONE SCREENSHOT.
Ok, so following that logic, what harm in the world would there be for him to be completely transparent with his fills? If the profits are legit then just post the fill data! If it's legit and verifiable, it will only boost his credibility, not hurt it.
Either you're him or you're the physical representation of an informal fallacy. Time to block. Jack Ryan's on Prime!
I trade GOOGL and AAPL options (directional) since 2013 so the results OI obtained are just too good (based on my experience) but to say OI has zero probability of profits may be too harsh. I hope OI is legit, gives hope to those new to this game like me that the sky is the limit. Reading the posts also gave me some ideas to work on so overall a positive for me. That said, many of us on ET are gullible so having someone with expertise to point out questionable posts and inconsistencies are very helpful. I appreciate that. What I still do not get is: Why anyone wants to fake?
And what...be accused of forgery? There's no end to it. You could get audited records and people would question the auditor's credibility. You can read through it and take from it as you wish. And I'm sure if you judge it bullshit it doesn't reduce his disposable income. And it's just not practical to post good options trades in advance. I spend hours waiting for fills sometimes (actually, have an 8 day old order resting still, right now), how am I supposed to post that in advance or contrive here that I actually was that fill? Furthermore, what happens when someone figures out I'm good at what I do and pushes to the front of the line like I do? What if they're bigger than me (I only get partial fills sometimes as it is). That makes a priori trade calls adversely selected...and ones after the fact seem sufficing.
You don't have to be an expert/experienced trader to see that it's all a hoax. He's spent MONTHS in this thread so he's invested in it. You all know that he cannot produce a screenshot of that AAPL fill from today. What's the incentive for experienced guys to post color and comment on structure when this clown is allowed to make shit up? I for one won't contribute. My last on this thread. I've made my point.
Also, what would be the harm if someone with thousands of percent annualized gains posts their trades before the fill??? I like the idea...but Buffet first.
