And not to mention that this site is not what it used to be. Back in the early 2000 (when I first signed up with my alter ego), people actually came and shared their ideas, if not a true passion for trading. These days, there's nothing of value but only criticism. Jordan, don't waste your time here trying to help those who are otherwise ungrateful. Let them have it their way, cold and meaningless existence.
Why not do it with REAL money, instead of being a faker with a demo account? Why don't you have the balls to show real money losing trades, like I do? https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/and-they-have-a-plan-live.306838/ ET elder posters, you really need to point folks to my journal, show them how it is done. It is not neat, it is not complicated. It is, in fact, ugly. But it is entertaining, and it is REAL.
That is not true schizty. I think people here are tired of seeing thread titles that claim one thing, but content that belies a different truth. The guy said "day trading for a living". You do not do that with a demo account. I mean, you even admitted that your username is not the one you signed up with in 2000. Why did you change it? Why? What's the point? Who were you before, in between 2000 and now? Ug. Why do people DO that!?! Why post for years, and then change the name? Ashamed of who you were back then? I just don't get that!
Okay, you have a fair point. But this ain't no trading journal that requires real time trades. Being someone who's not a stranger to posting real time trades, which I've done for a very long time on ES Journal thread, I don't see what the harm is for using a demo account. In fact, I often tell fellow traders to pretend that they are on demo. This actually frees them from all the mental constraints. Anyway, all the negative criticism far outweighs anything the OP offers by way of his enthusiasm for day trading. F*ck if I know. Just wanted to start fresh, I guess. My previous moniker was "saliva" (lovingly referred to as Sal by others), for those who might still remember. Those were the good ol' times.
Posting from a demo account is fine, if you declare it up front. And also post a full daily blotter at the end of the day of all your trades so as not to hide any losing trades. Given its just a demo account why would anyone object to not posting a full daily PnL blotter, it is not like its real money which might be considered a private matter.
All of you should put on wigs, put mousse to style it, apply some makeup, turn on all the lights, turn on your video cameras....and become Social Media Celebrities teaching the sea of Millennials, Gen Z, and Boomers about trading to become millionaires. You all would become millionaires teaching about trading than actually doing it. Imagine that...becoming a Tik Tok star, YouTube star, Instagram star,...influencing and entertaining all those people,
I'd rather be real and be a losing trader showing a real journal, then a fake POS like you claiming to make money or suggesting others teach, rather than trade. Where is YOUR journal, MacProHo? Here's mine. How many fucking times do I have to post it? https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/and-they-have-a-plan-live.306838/
