I don't think I know it all, nobody does. But I've been trading for a living longer than you've been alive so I probably know a few things that perhaps you're yet to learn. I wasn't attacking you, all I said was I think anybody who claims to be able to provide proof for something but refuses...

Actually I don't think I will be surprised at all because the longer your challenge runs the more inline your results will become, but at the very least I will say it would be refreshing to actually see someone do something like that so yes I will definitely stay tuned for that. :) One wonders...

So..... You could provide proof of something, but won't provide any proof? So just take you at your expert word then? Ok, got it. It's true because you say so, end of discussion.

Who said anything about "possible?" Of course it's possible, and a small amount of traders have achieved that or even a lot higher in some rare instances. Of course it's possible. But what does possible have to do with reality or realistic expectations and career planning? Making 30% a year...

For the love of all things holy. 15-20% a month expected returns, calculated wrong Sharpe ratio, 2 month track record, simulated performance? How is this thread longer than 1 response? People, please don't underestimate the power of public ridicule. Sometimes you just have to call a spade a...

I give you credit for your passion and it certainly sounds like it's something you want to sink your teeth into. If that's the case it definitely can be something you do for a lifetime. Without passion you're dead in the water so at least you have that going for you. But what on earth makes...

In general, not true. All trading styles are roughly equal in how difficult it is to achieve the kind of long term success I was referring to. So whether you're value investing with stocks, whether you're trading es futures, whether you're derivatives trading, it's all roughly the same...

Well two things. 1) Very VERY few people have the kind of record you're talking about. Newbies to the game just don't understand how hard trading is over longer time frames. Over 10% a year for over 10 years is already really good. Over 15% for 15 years is getting into rare company. 20%...

For the third time now, that says everything we need to know about you. You are a person that doesn't require anything to be proven, you just believe. Great, now let the grown ups speak ok? Run along now... If a person is going to be doing interviews in public talking about how awesome they...

And after saying that you're still talking? As I said, that says way more about you than it does her. She has no track record, FULL STOP ! I'm sorry did you need more evidence than that? lol. We know as much about her recipe for banana bread as we know about her trading record, which is to...

Suggestive, yes I agree. But again it's not for me, I really don't care. It's more just, the guy himself has said that he's been asked to do this since he arrived on this chat forum and it continues to this day as evidenced by the fact that it happened in this thread (before I said a word by...

This whole Karen the Supertrader thing is getting downright embarrassing. This Pekelo guy is actually defending someone who has NEVER released a track record to anyone. Defending trading claims by a trader with no track record is just about the fastest way to announce to the world that you...

I'm not sure what makes you think she "survived" 2008. There is no evidence of that anywhere. a) She's never released a track record to anybody publicly. b) She herself said she was only trading her own money back then, which was a small account, and with no formal trading strategies or...

This isn't that hard to understand, or at least it shouldn't be. If you talk about your record and your 20+ years as a successful trader, you shouldn't be that surprised that somebody asked for proof. Let me be clear for the second time, I'm NOT asking, I don't care. I simply said, is it...

Events like August of 2015 won't do that much damage to her strategy. She's already stated in all her interviews that when faced with significant drawdowns, she just rolls them out to further months and doubles down on her put selling. So for August, she would have rolled to October and sold...
