    This is one of your major flaws Surf. You think everyone who doesn't agree with you on this VN bs is jealous or struggling. Seriously man. You come across as a grade one a-hole with this stuff.

    Yep. You beat me to it. He wonders why 95% of the people go for his jugular on here. I try and be civil with the guy but shit like this makes it real tough.

    How in god's name would you know they aren't profitable ? You mean if they buy September Dow futures and say they got out using December's price. You know....lying. To me that's pretty clear of what's going on.

  5. Out of 12,000 plus posts --- you are still harping on that mistake typo from years ago? Get real man

    It's not my purpose here to call anyone out. Many of the phonies have already been shamed and left the site with their tails between their legs. No need to poke these sad folks again.

  6. There's nothing to disagree on. VN has proven himself by his own long term performance despite his personal flaws that resulted in him blowing up. Not to mention the multiple great traders ( real people managing billions in combined capital) from his stable.

    Surf...it happened more than once.

    Again like I have mentioned before. I have done a gazillion futures trades. Sure ...made errors at times. But never bought one month and sold another claiming to close the trade out. Whatever dude. Talk about a phony.........

    Yes his long term performance is horrible. As bad as one can be. If anything his short term performance has been great at times. All you have to do is cherry pick.

    You use this personal flaws stuff as a crutch. I have known some great traders who had insane personal flaws. As you said.....get real man.

    I never asked you to name names. Just give an example of what they did.

    I'm sure you will duck this question like most of the other ones after you make a bold proclamation....
