No, the real deal. He is actually providing a valuable service here. Exposed a few blatant fakers in the past.
"what kind of big shot trader has time to stalk some random guy on the internet lol" It's those types of behaviors that makes me believe him.
Surf wasn't a fraud. How can you even say that?! I know he was not thought kindly of by many here, and the trades he called out were the butt of many jokes, rivaled only by @Buy1Sell2 for their accuracy and timing, .... but a fraud? No. Surf may be many things, but he's not a fraud. That's a little harsh ON.
Today I'm basically flat. So to average a $1K/day it means on some days I have to make $2K+ to maintain the $1K/average to account for losing days or flat days like today. Yesterday I had a chance to make $4k-$5K. should have taken more risk. Today, the markets I trade are flattish. So, it's NOT so easy to average $1K/day you see? One of the Market Wizards said people are trying to optimize the frequency of wins instead of the magnitude of gains. Not exact words. You don't need to be positive every day, which is what I've been trying though not always successful. It's just that on winning days when everything lines up I should go for the kill! Max out. On flat days just make a little or minimize losses. Because the distribution of REAL trading P&L will not be $1K every single day. So when the opportunity is the JUICIEST go for the kill! lesson learned.
If there are big shots trader pulling $30M a day then it means that there are days that same big shot trader has a drawdown of $15M-$20M and an occasional $40M down day. can someone stomach that...
