Why would that be a red flag? He is just an individual trader sharing his performance, he is not trying to sell you something.
Hi, I wasn't throwing anything at you. Let me ask you again, do you have any records from any brokers that would back up your post? Because that's the main point of showing your results, that you can prove them, so people can actually believe you. If you don't show any reports that could back up your performance you are simply unbelievable. You did say it yourself : "The trading business is screwed up". It is like that because people like you that are confronted with a simple question reply with all sort of answers with one and only purpose, to not to show any records that can prove that they are right. So.. the third time, do you have any record that would prove that you are not lying? Otherwise you just join that screwed up group of traders that you seem to complain about.
Hummm... That is...pretty good I guess. But without knowing what type of trading you are doing, it is pretty useless info. On top of that, the annual return is just one metric. What if you had a DD of 50%? Anyway, good for you, but I don't see the point of this post. Are you looking for kudos from others? If you are proud of yourself, that should be enough. And the ones not believing him because he is not showing any broker statements, who cares. You don't believe him, so be it. What a broker statement (that can be altered easily) will bring you more? If you think he is bullshitting, so be it. I personally don't care if his numbers are legit or not. I don't care if my neighbor is making money or not. All do I care is my performance. This is not a competition. This guy is a better trader than me? Well, good for him.
Maybe I am just being slow, but don't quite understand why you quoted my post, that basically said the same thing that yours did. Just reaffirming what I was asking to the other poster?
If that is the case, it was stupid to post the results. You can only get negative reactions and it brings you no money or fame. I do believe that your numbers can be true and probably are true. If your head sticks out above the rest, you'll be beheaded on ET. You are only allowed to be at max as good as joe average, or the conversations change from meaningful into...
