Taking 320K to 3.5million by Year End 2009

No thanks, I actually like to get laid once in a while.

Now start your own fucking thread meathead.

P.S. Borat called, he wants his suit back.

 

You stated:

Great week, up 62K (23.4%). What a relief to come back above break-even after the prior weeks' disasters. What a salvation! I had thought I would need another two months just trying
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

With a statement like that it doesn’t sound to me like your following any sort of rules or trading plan?
Be careful of those huge drawdowns. Things don't always swing back to give you a breakeven point (example: GM and BSC )

I would consider using better money management techniques or you'll be leaving it up to chance.

Trade wisely and good luck to you...........

You do have a perfectly legitimate point as far as I'm concerned. But I do not believe Neke has anything to prove to anyone but himself. Whether anyone actually believes the result he religiously posts at the end of the week, however, is a different matter and I believe it rests more or less on the eye of the beholder.

But then again, what is the purpose of publicly sharing your P&L in the first place? It's hard not to wonder whether there might not be some other motive than pure altruism, such as recognition and whatnot, which might I add isn't wrong per se.

Personally, I believe the best policy of demonstrating one's trading prowess is to post those damn trades in real time. Just my otherwise worthless 2-cents.

 

covestor doesn't seem to process futures trades. does anyone know if there is a service like covestor for futures trading?

also, which brokers work with covestor?

 

LOL.

BS Bo..

I am one of the guys that has followed Neke's thread for 2 years now with great anticipation and respect. Neke has gotten my acknowledgement and at times criticism for his posts and achievements. This without a third party verification. You might be a guy that lives life to find your reward in compliments from others and hoping that others will give you the pat on the back. But believe it or not there are guys out there that live to please themselves and the people around them they love. That can look in the mirror in the morning and like what they see, that don't need that compliment or pat on the back from some guy on an internet thread. A LOT of people have learned a hell of a lot from Neke's thread even if only by glimpsing at the financial rollercoaster that trading with a certain risk appetite can bring with it. Let me point out one very important point. It is peoples CHOICE to read this thread, they come here week in week out to read about NEKE's achievements. The last couple of weeks that choice has been polluted by some fool calling into question Neke's performance and urging him to prove himself. Why don't you just let it be buddy? In one post you could have written, "Hey Neke there are products out there that would let you verify your own performance and you would get way more respect from the non-believing trading community, have a look if you like." But instead you have hijacked this thread instead of starting your own. Neke does not go onto other thread's linking to this one, he does not brag about his results in other threads, he doesn't hijack other journals, no he only writes in this one and that is why he has earned a lot of people's true respect. So I ask you kindly, leave this thread alone, you have made your point but in my opinion Neke has nothing to prove. Or he is a risk-loving trader kind enough to share his ups and downs, or he is the best fiction trading writer alive as he adds such realism to his posts and lets us enjoy the emotional rollercoaster with him. Either one is fine with me.

Best of luck with all your futures endeavors.

Cheers,

FGBS

 

Agree:
Everyone should realize Neke has never even hinted at wanting anything from anyone, and if they don't think his journal is legit it certainly has legit drawdowns.
All these stupid comments continue and Neke could get disgusted and pull the journal.

 

I enjoy Neke's post and I believe him.

 

Nothing more needs to be said then. I would rather see it come from other channels, than in a self-report, but that's just me. I do it out of money, and for PR. Not sure what Neke's motivations are. Anyway, I'll just sit idly by then. It's not like other posters posting fake pictures of ferraris and lamborghinis with hot women on them.

 

This might be what bothers me more than anything else, and perhaps Neke could answer it.
