    Basic statistics tells me you have most likely fabricated your trades. This was the most damning piece of evidance on Madoff, that what he was claiming was so statistically unlikely that he should have been brought down many years ago.

    Read my lips .... I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.

    Being very familar with day trading, there is often a very sudden move for a few seconds in price. If we stretch that move to 1-2 minutes, you can have a very substantial move. It would be very easy to then post a "real time" trade on here suggesting you got the price before the move. So the question of HOW one might fabricate is a nonstarter to anyone familiar with short term trading.

    Whether you have done this or not, well, how are you going to prove this account exists with 29/30 winners ? Make me a BELIEVER !!!

  3. 3:29PM: 1.4452. Trying my luck on long side using reduced sized. Plan to add if it falls some 30 pips down.

  5. Too a loss on this one. -36pips. I made a mistake.

    I am looking at the price now. There was a signal earlier today, but I was not there when it came. So will try to wait.

  6. I cannot wait for it to form a proper entry, so I am going to go long half size. If it revisits today's bottom I would plan to add, which would make it at -10pips on average from current price (1.4284).

    Interesting how when pushed to post more realistic "real time" trades you start losing like crazy. You can go ahead and tell us when you close that last long, so far around -80 pips. How can you have a "break" when you are supposably in a bad trade trending against you heavily ? That is a comment that only a fake trader would make. What, no stop loss at all ?
