How much did you pay him for the 'secret'? I'm assuming that that is not part of the NDA... g

I have found this quote from ChartAddict to ring especially true... it is often that professionals in other fields come in overconfident that their skill in whatever profession they chose (whether it be medicine, law, engineering) should transfer over into trading... Well, here's a newsflash: It...

Are you being serious? If you are saying that his past performance is encouraging then you are definitely a glass-is-half-full kind of person. What is the difference between losing 200,000 on a 400,000$ account and losing 2,000$ on a 4,000$ account? Why is there more of a massive (negative)...

Actually, I am glad he posted this because it is really hilarious... the things I find funny about it are: 1) He posted the thread about himself, like it was 'history-making' 2) The position size he took was tiny 3) It actually shows that he thought he was now a Trading God with his amazing...

I don't think that that was what he was asking at all... he didn't say it was a big deal, but that he just wanted to talk about it with other people that could understand the highs and lows of trading. IMO, the fact that you are getting offended by this thread and his original post means that...

First, let me say that any money made in the markets can easily be lost back, so until someone takes money out of their Etrade account and spends it on something, I don't think they can truly say that they have made it. That being said, onto my story... I've been trading for about 8 years...

Thanks. Returns in 2009 were ~540%, in 2010, ~125%, and 2011 YTD is at about +60%. g p.s. needless to say, 2003 was -90%, 2004 about -85%, 2005 about -50%, 2006 about -50%. 2007 about -30%, and 2008, flat :p

Lost 5K$ back over the past 2 days trying to catch XNPT bounces. Fortunately, I made way more than that holding XNPT (~70K shares, +314K$) through the FDA decision... Done with XNPT. http://www.bilderload.com/daten/20110407xnptG9HKW.jpg...

Yes.

Well, I am probably not going to trade today to enjoy the New year, so for all intents and purposes, my YTD P/L is going to be the same for all of 2010 as it is today (barring some unforseen move by some of my stocks). Ended the year about where I was in the middle-late part of the year...

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 125-150%... At around +450K$ between Etrade and BofA accounts, realized, and another 22K unrealized (as of today), mostly swingtrading bios... g

You have got to be kidding me... If someone that lost a third of his money in a year is the 'best trader on this site' then it is a sad site (sight) indeed. g

That was "I'm not going to bother posting on the P/L thread" if it is less than 10K, not that I am not going to post at all. You can believe I am a paper trader if you want, no skin off my back. g

I 'lost' about 100,000$ in 2 minutes when AVNR dropped last friday and I saw it in the 1.40's... Of course I didn't panic and held through approval and instead I made 192,000$ that day. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2996367#post2996367 g

I've decided I am not going to bother posting any more, unless it is more than 10K$, either way (after today). g

Should have gone more size on today's trade. YTD in the Etrade account http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/3265/20101103ytd.jpg YTD in the Bofa account http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/6943/2010113bofaytd.jpg ...getting near that +400K$ point (again). g

So my question to you is, what is stopping people from 'rolling their own' nuedexta? After all, it is just dextromethorphan 20mg and quinidine 10mg... Yes, I know this is probably illegal, and I am not recommending people do this, but if you have a choice of paying 500$ per month for...

congrats dude... I bought 80K shares on thursday and sold on friday AH for 192,000$. (20K$ more in the Bofa account, not posted). You were right that this had the best chance of approval. I had done my homework and agreed with you...

The problem with most of these paid sites is that most of them don't work. And the reason they don't work is that they can be started by anyone. If someone is not a profitable trader, then why not sell subscription services? That way they are guaranteed that income. The seedier side of...

Alright. I am going to explain why I think your system is not a winning system. Let's start with stages that a trader goes through... Stage 1: frequent losses, mostly losing trades. Most noobs start here for months to years. Stage 2: Mostly winning trades... say 4/5 trades are winners...
