Do you always speak of yourself in the 3rd person? If you think 90% is perfect you have a bigger problem than just arrogance. Questions? I love questions. In fact I gave away my entire trading style to a few that asked questions in a current thread.
I tried to list all 31 of hank rollins (marketsurfer) posts in the aforementioned thread but it was too many characters. I'll let the level headed individuals here make their own conclusions as to his motives. Before you comment I would suggest that you read the entire thread first. Some in the thread even asked him to stop harassing and self promoting in someone elses journal. It wasn't just me that saw it that way. As far retracting my statement . . . you've got to be kidding. Anyone reading the entire thread can see why. It was entirely my fault in the other thread to be entwined in surfer's pissing contest. That was 20 months ago and since, I have tried on numerous occasional to offer him help only to be ridiculed time and time again. My pissing is done here. I hope his is as well.
yes, in this game, 90% accuracy is nearly perfect---- if you are 90% accurate in your trades, you will soon corner any market. sorry, professor, these types of claims only work to your naive' audience. the track record posted on your site is bogus--designed to lure the uninformed and naive'. why not just admit it?? surfer
please be specific in your claims. there was no self promoting in your thread nor personal attacks. you made/make the entirely bogus claims. just so others understand, hank rollins was a created avatar since my marketsurfer avatar was banned due to my creating/operating a competive internet site--nothing more, nothing less. regards, surfer
OK, surfer, how about this. It's your journal, so let's have it. How much are you up or down for the year? I don't care about dollar amounts because that is no one's business but your own. However, if you are going to parade a trading journal, then it is only fair and fitting to your audience that you share with them your overall results in percentage terms, together with your largest percentage drawdown for the year to date. That would provide some overall perspective, which would place your performance and the value of your calls in proper context. Wouldn't you agree?
There is a tough situation ensuing here. It is very very difficult to achieve a two way conversation most of the time. There are many ways to do a terrific job in making money. One of the circumstances seems to relate to this condition. If both people are making money , there is a fair chance an exchange can take place. It can just be more or less comparing notes or something like that at first. If either or both people aren't making money, conversations rarely develop. Here is 600 plus pages and it is more or less a one way street. Most journals, rightly so, are for the journalist's benefit to impart what he wants or to even make a record of something or other. Your expectations by being here and for accomplishing giving some help are rather high. The connection you have, if any, is one where what you do may be a threat more than an aid for understanding markets and trading. for anyone who is successful it is a common desire to understand the success of others. Building on success is a common theme for people who can recognize the possibilities of this modus. At some point, you can see in different people a definite reluctance to continue to grow. where a person is unsuccessful it may be seen that there are sequences of attitude and behavior that follow well trodden paths. i am glad you are ending your efforts here.
i am up overall for the year. please note oil, ford, and multiple correct DJIA trades among the winners and yes there have been several large losers, as well. I don't claim any kind of perfection--if you would like, the records are here, feel free to digest them to find what you seek. i feel no need to provide specifics in a public forum. regards, surfer
I am sure as can be that if these specifics were in any way remarkable you would feel an overwhelming need to provide them
