How desperate you sound. So are we to accept your claim that you made on average of 15-20 points last week at face value without any question? You must really think you are a very important person. No wonder all the best posters left ET. It's because of imbecile like yourself with preposterous claims about your self-importance. What you say is really remarkable. At least I posted my trades for everyone to see and I've accepted the outcome, be it good or bad. But look at you, all talk.
Man, I've had it with these idiots. I will simply cease and desist for the good of others who want nothing but self-glorification.
For the record I know who IAN used to be in his previous life on ET and when he used to post his intraday market analyses I was in awe of his calls, at the time I was very green to daytrading and just couldn't figure out how anyone could crack the specifics of an intraday trend.
This is the ultimate proof that your ego is problematic. Got hurt and run away. And I already told before that I do not feel important at all. I am nobody. Just one of the billions of people running around on earth. The graveyards are filled with people who thought they were important and indispensable. But after their death the world did not stop and it stayed business as usual. Only my family and friends will miss me.
There's only a tiny handful of traders here who we can be certain, actually make money in the long run. Schizo is one of a very such few. Other people just talk talk talk which anyone can do. People can make all kinds of claims and give the impression of being a trading God. It's not difficult.. On trade2win, there's claims from some posters that will make IamNobody's claims look mediocre at best! Check out fxmospherian for example! lol (obviously no proof, though)
I can confirm that IAN (prior to his reincarnation on ET) used to post phenomenal stuff, just because he doesn't show anything publicly currently, does not equate to his inability. What Schizo does is not that hard, reverse based trades hoping for a run whilst cutting losses as quick as possible. What IAN did show in the past was ability to stay with trade based on intraday trend without being shaken out. Of course it doesn't always work (what does), yet it did often enough. Let's face it, ability to know how to read a trend and bank on it's support of your position is something to envy, most of us can see an established trend, very few of us can get in at the beginning and get out near its end. IAN has that ability. N.B. the reason Schizo has a following IMHO is because the vast majority of folks live the dream of starting with small capital and having a full-time income from it. Schizo tends to have quite tight stops, making sure that there is no big % damage to capital and then he gets a winner which either wipes out previous losses or puts him in the black without having incurred losses. That is quite standard type of trading whenever a trader's been around for a while, he understands ranges, price action, risk management. Not many progress to the more scientific stage though, I haven't gotten there yet myself
I don't remember him posting anything particularly impressive with either of his previous names. (The one beginning with 'S' and the one beginning with'P' - I won't say what they are as he doesn't want them to be known) I even remember him getting called out a few times in the ESjournal under one of them names as his calls were too hindsight in nature.
Years ago I started a thread in which I wanted to post in realtime. After my initial posting in which I announced this, and BEFORE the first real time posting was done, bashers already started to attack me. So I closed the thread immediatelly. I think it is the shortest thread ever on ET. After that I only posted in PM's. Romik was one of the receivers of some of these postings. The real valuable information on ET goes through PM's, but the problem is that you should be invited. This invitation depends on what you post on the open forum of ET. The real value is hidden for at least 80% of all the ET members. I don't care what you believe or don't believe, and I have no intention to try to proof myself. I proof myself to myself and my family. For me that's enough. There are so many bashers on ET that proving yourself will never work. They will only accept your failure or even interprete your success as a failure. I also proposed a bet that between, I think september last year and end of the year (about 4 monthsperiod) I could double my capital. Nobody accepted the bet, all the bashers ran away. So basher do what they accuse others from: talk, talk, talk. Or rather bash, bash, bash. If many people "admire" the "performance" of Schizo it tells a lot about their (missing) trading qualifications. In the land of the blinds, one eye is king. Real traders can control their positions and can stay in for hours without being hurt. They can take 10+ points trades on days like friday.
