    I'm not self-banning... I'll answer PMs and follow posts, but I am not contributing. Magna allows race-baiting threads and warns the whistleblower. Keep an eye out for Surfer nicks.

    I hope you all keep the journal going.

    If you post somewhere else, please let me know.

    I appreciate that @Baron and @Magna are trying to build a forum to appeal to the general masses, and especially to sponsors, but it seems to me that what everyone wants more than anything else is to be interacting with a trader that is the real deal, making serious coin, not afraid to show trades, and most importantly not afraid to attack posters who are full of shit UNTIL THEY PROVE OTHERWISE.

    I think it would be in their best interest to somehow try and ensure that posters making extravagant claims are held to show proof. It strengthens the forum and doesn't perpetuate the spreading of bullshit. If you have just a few posters that are proven to be the real deal, this will bring in much more viewership than 100 fake aliases ever will.

    A forum that relies on sponsorship dollars cannot survive if all the legit members leave. We all know sponsor dollars are important in order to run the website, but those sponsor dollars chase the viewership, not the other way around. If true viewership drops, so do the sponsor dollars.

    So the question is, how to keep true viewership? If this was a cooking forum, everyone would be entitled to their opinion and that would be fine. But this is a trading forum, and opinions are worth shit until the person sharing that opinion is has shown/proven or has demonstrated that they know what they are talking about.

    Now granted, I have no idea if this was going to be a swing play, but it was still funny to me that just as you posted to get short at 17, it shot up! LOL (and looks like it got as high as 28)

  9. Yeah the AAPL earnings but I was lookiong at longer term that is why I switched to looking at the calendar with ES but while trying to figure best months for the spread and reading other posts I ran out of time and then said screw it in after hours haha. But remember I said Iw as looking for 2790 so was not a scalp. EIther way I never put it on so does not count haha

    Yes, and it was actually kind of a compliment what I said in that it must have been a truly actual and real live call because it went against you literally within a minute of posting. (

    If you're looking for 2790 though, you had plenty of opportunity today at an even better price.
