Seriously, can anybody trade the ES?

Quote from SWhiting:

You aren't really trading 'against' the best traders in the world. It is all about you-against-you. At least that is what I've found. Honor your stops and let your profits run (easier said than done for me).

The 'fake outs' in the ES can cause you the most heartbreak because it is sooo difficult to re-enter a position, in the same direction, after you've just been whipsawed.

This entire statement should probably be blown-up and framed on most emini trader's walls.
Well Done.

One trade was posted for one contract.

Now that wasn't so hard was it?
Well, you didn't show your entire blotter or the p/l portion but ok, its a trade. Unless you only made 1 trade today. Anyway, hopefully you'll take me up on my everyday for a week offer. I don't care if you show losses, thats not the point. Don't be worried that you'll be bashed if you show losses 1 or 2 or 10 days in a row.

Even though nobody will say so, most everybody, I'm sure, appreciates seeing the actual trade.

You learn theory in school and then you want to see the theory applied to real world conditions. Thats were the trade details come into play!

I feel like I'm on an island all alone in my quest for more trade details on a daily basis (proof of consistency) from those that know what they're doing. Does anybody owe me anything? Certainly not, but what the heck, so much time is spent posting why not post whats really important. Moolah! Real world trades to solidify the theory. Jack talks about CASH all the time.

I'm not one of those trolls that post thousands of hershey bashing threads. I'm just looking for the honey so to speak.

If you look at the trader p/l thread you'll see stand up guys like lescor who posted on a daily basis for months to show people that yes trading is possible (of course he didn't tell us his system like spyder is).

Didn't spyder ask Mr_black to explain his trades in a previous post? So is the
teacher the bad guy just like me?

If I were profitable on a daily basis or semi daily basis I would be proud and more than happy to post my details to show the hundreds watching yes it can be done and here is the proof so you might learn something.

If nobody here is consistently profitable and is still in the learning phase then JUST SAY SO! Its OK.

Edit: I'm not going to ask anymore. If traders want to post blotters great. If not, dont. Good night and good bye.

I am going to make a statement on this by annotating it when I get around to it.
