Thank you for your sanity. My guess is that a lot of aspiring traders on ET seem to be looking to copy someone as a shortcut to avoid developing and backtesting a plan, and in that shopping around they get interested whenever someone claims success. Since this is about skipping the homework, the only way to know what's worth copying without effort is to ask for proof of success. And of course, there also seems to be failed traders unable to fathom the idea that others may have done better.
