Anyone with a brain knows you can't pull off impersonating Rob Keller. The real Rob Keller would come on to set the record straight and bitch-slap any would be impersonator. Besides, respected senior ET members like Nitro, Pabst, Metooxx, Riskarb, and anyone who works for Echo- already know that I'm the real deal.
Everything on this journal is 100% believable (except for NYSEkiller, who went from making $0-$400 dollars a day then changed firms for a month and suddenly reappeared making $50,000-$150,000 a day...everyday..with no losers).
this thread is pretty much believable imo; there might be a few that fabricate their blotters but who cares....it is very much possible to pull off nice numbers every day with minor losses here and then, that should tell u that sure there are guys who found consistency. look at the mkt, there are full percentages for the takin' every day, why be surprised if prop traders [the fellas got a massive advantage over retails] always post positve nets.
Guys, Let's not forget no one here is trying to sell you anything. If the mooks of the world don't like or believe the numbers then please move on to another thread. Every couple of weeks someone feels it's their civic duty to register at ET and make their very first post on this thread whining and complaining. Which, of course, encourages the traditional whiners at ET to come out of their closets and chime in. The topic of this thread is trading blotters, and if you would like to post yours, fine. If not please lurk in the background, piss 'n moan privately, or move on elsewhere. I'm tired of this latest round of attacks and it ends NOW. Thanks.
i don`t know why it`s so difficult to believe there are those whom can make $ every day & every week with discipline?? trades for the day..........enjoy the math!
I'm sure one of the reasons you can't make consistent money is because of your attitude. If you can't believe it can be done, then I believe that would certainly have to create a mental block. Since I started participating on this forum, my consistency has increased dramatically. There is no doubt in my mind that every blotter on here is accurate. I also work at echo and have spoken with upper management and they have confirmed to me that RM is for real.
+1389 before commish. Took off midday to see Talladega Nights. Funny movie there. I believe the purpose of sharing your blotter on this thread is to see how you are faring in the grand game that is trading. When bigger traders such as Rearden Metal, Riskarb and others post, it is an inspiration to me to work harder. When a guy like Steve Tvardek posts his consistent p and l, it is also an inspiration. As far as I can tell, Rearden Metal posts to show his "interesting"' bigger up and down days, which is fine as far as I'm concerned because he posted everyday for awhile to show that his performance is not a flash in the pan. Steve is as consistent as his p and l posts suggest. That is also inspiring to me because I am not quite as consistent as he is and I have been doing this longer than him. Now, as a reader of this forum, you can either believe the posts on here or not. However, if you do know people at the firm that Steve and I work at, then mook123, you should call him. Chris will be able to vouche for Steve's numbers because they are true. To come on here, call someone a liar without verifying Steve's performance with someone whom you claim to know who works in the management of the firm we are at, speaks volumes about your character and lack of credibility. If Steve is posting better #'s than you, does that make them unbelievable? Perhaps you can't accept that he is better than you and you must change or improve your own trading to get better. People such as mook123 and bighitter1 take the low road and cry BS because they are not doing as well and it protects their own egos. The logic goes, "Well, if I am not doing that well, then how the heck can this person?" They do no self analysis and evaluation of their games in order to improve. You should take the high road and grasp the usefullness of this thread: "Others are doing better than me, so I better work harder and try to improve". Use this thread as the inspiration that it is.
