Hello DarkerthanDarc, Exactly!!! There is nothing to prove. It is highly recommended to use ET forum to get profitable trader status. Plus the cost is $0.00.
It depends how realistic the PnL journal is. If the journal only shows profits and not many losses or drawdowns then expereienced traders are not going to believe that. Although gullible New traders might. Extraordinary claims require extra ordinary evidence. So a trader with journal that never lost much money, would need to make some live calls ahead of time for people to take it seriously. And the track record of the live call sample would need to match the kind of results the journal is showing. Otherwise it is no different to the Hindsight selective chart posting scams that charlatans use.
I once asked member Scat to do just that, because I got fed up with his hindsight chart threads, his excuse was something like I am not going to make any live calls because then people here 'will make money off my calls'
It's always an advantage to have a crowd following. Clearly he's FOS. The ES Journal is just moronic. Guys posting scalps that are pointless. You can simply wait for a $2 move and "fill" with the benefit of async, time to post, etc. The fact that the first thing they do after their fill is to post it here is absurd beyond measure. It's aggressively detrimental to trying to scalp index if they were actually filling orders. 700ms to click marketable on the ladder and then 2-3 minutes to glory post here? What?
Good Morning Businessman, You give very good advice on ES futurs trading. No one will ever share public results of ES futures trading because its a day to day grind. Too stressful to take that grind public and people asking you questions. Maybe after making a few millions on ES trading and I want to retire from trading I might share. But while trading, heck no. Not worth it.
