  6. I hope this is a troll thread.

    Because:

    1. He's lost 150k in a 4 months.
    2. There are huge holes with backtesting, besides not being the key to winning.
    3. The title and trades do not match. He often opens and closes trades within a day or two. I don't think he is trading by any definition of the word ''trend.''

    4.
    Really?
