Who should I ignore?

  1. DAMN... you seem to think you're some kind of special to evaluate and judge everybody else. If someone is "not accredited", then they are worthless? Weren't you non-accredited yourself at one time?... (assuming of course that you actually are accredited and not just trying to blow smoke up everyone's skirt. BTW... you never revealed how you became accredited. Did you make it with success in the markets? Did grandma die and leave it to you?)

    Perhaps you'd be happier on the "Accredited Elite Traders" website...

    Nevertheless, I'm not listening to any more of your bilge. ON IGNORE!!

    helpful for what?

    after a few posts one can decide for himself who he is dealing with and what to do about this person

    but your suggestion is borderline branding the people

    actually i would eliminate all likes as well

    Most users are ignore-worthy. A better use of your time is figuring out which are authentic financial markets professionals.

    I sort of lost track what I made that month, I think it was something like $15k on the crypto, those are what, around $5k on the scale outs, my primary instruments are forex and futures. The reason no one puts these up is the margin of error again, anyone who has no clue what they are doing will find a discrepancy and use it as a negative.

    I'll give you an example, you see on the second image the PnL of 0.07... which is below target, that would be used as a margin of error. What they would have no idea about, lack of experience being one, is that I have multiple different expiring futures contracts long and short in parallel for different charting timeframes. If I am short on the 1hr via a 3mth forward contract, I might be long on the current month via a 1mn chart, any discrepancies show up immediately allowing me to choose the path of least resistance.

    For most people it takes longer to offset the false margin of error narrative, so the incorrect information sticks, for me it's the opposite but I have a rather unique situation.

    Actually I just calculated it, 0.07 is still a $1k gain, here's another 0.0212 which could be used as a margin of error, damn that's $185 on a two day directional test trade, it's still respectable, skip it I'm off for a glass of wine.

    I would keep them. They can give some useful information but not in a way what most people would think. It always what is the real motivation behind what people posts and why they "like". Hehe.

    Like the advice some dude told me about women. Action speaks louder then words. Hehe.

  6. Who should you ignore? Anyone trying to be some kind of ET CELEBRITY...in my opinion! I will not mention names, not yet anyway.

  9. I think I must already have Trump on ignore because I have not seen him post in quite a while.

    Although, you never know. He might have three or four screen names as a lot of posters do.

    :cool:
