    I did try to teach a few yanks back in 2009, but I had to give up:D

    haha really, link please.

    I posted a screenshot of a one-lot that was traded to win a bet in chat; I did not post it elsewhere. The terms of the bet was that I would produce a 10% gain on the position, and if so, then the counter-party would permanently leave the chatroom. If I failed to produce the 10% return, then I was to leave. It would be silly to risk more than needed to win that bet. The debit-risk was something like $1,100 in SPY options.

    He lost the bet within a week, and true to his word, he left. I've never posted the net liq of either my TDA or IB IRA accounts.

    You've posted threads showing a grand-total of $123 (<$130) risked. Some one and two lot calls that expired worthless.

    Wow, you were able to contradict yourself in the same post! Don’t ask me questions if you don’t care.

    Anyway, I’m very happy for you if you found a strategy that makes you virtual money when you run your simulated tests. I prefer to make real money in the real market, but that’s just a personal preference haha. Doesn’t mean I believe that forwards tests are useless.

    By the way, you whined about the TOS, but you talked about my IQ and my “idiotic” conclusions? Alright, you are extremely congruent. Don’t change a thing, buddy!

    You are of course blind to what you want to be blind to, typical yankey doodle dandy approach:rolleyes:

    The fact is, you are a big mouth who thinks he knows everything, and talks down to people, but then again, what should we expect:finger:

    There is not one of this bunch that can read a chart correctly, and I have only seen one person on this site that can.

    The rest, are what we call, mawmouths:D

    wtf does chart reading have to do with your hundred dollar blotters? Obviously whatever the f*ck your doing with your charts is not translating into the yummy part of PNL, as you author threads to post $60 at risk? How did those work out, BTW?

    Hahaha! When I claim a thing then you and your ilk question it immediately and want to see a proof.
    So, can you prove that you make any money?
    Or shall we just take your word for it?...

    Not believing; knowing, man, knowing!

    Actio --> Reactio, because you unfairly publicly badmouthed me and made jokes about me:

    You know nothing about me dimwit, nor will you, and as for the option trades you mention, they were but to draw you out and see what you knew, which is not much:D

    It is the likes of you that put gullible people on the wrong path, and in that respect you are no better then the surf monkey.:rolleyes:

    Mawmouths:finger:
