Enough talk, as with my Brother, throw the book at "the self certified professionals" and see where it settles. Deposit balance 0.3527BTC 15th December, Withdrawal balance 1.0369BTC 15th February for 0.6842BTC or 193% profit over two months, making 96% return per month. Which is 20x more...

Except "but given it is the most manipulated market in the world that doesn't mean a great deal" puts a small wrinkle in that. One trade advice from experience, wait for the perfect trade, I made some tests on what you are suggesting to trade to the entry target. The best I managed was 50/50...

It's here. No, the gap between the resources I have available is too wide, it's more efficient than institutions, no matter how experienced people think they are, this discredits them. I thought it could be used to teach newbies and disgruntled traders the path of least resistance to...

That's funny. "It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key." That is factually incorrect, because I am doing it right now, I also know others who have done it. I admit, for all intents it is impossible to everyone, being stupidly complex as you have to...

Your post from 16years ago is enlightening. "prices are probably not random, IMHO. if a good discretionary trader was to play stone-paper-scissors with an average trader...he would probably win despite the fact the result should be random... to say that because a series of closing prices...

Well except your process is structured around "after the fact" hence why you block viewing post history, ease of changing narrative. The only small discrepancy there is that Google indexes everything, but not to worry. You seem to think I care if oil went up to $150 first, I don't, but capital...

For the 99% that is absolutely correct, however life always wants the truth to come out, those who get ahead of the curve means that any third parties trying to adjust to, let's call it, an income based narrative, have no angle. The other benefit is that as they know that you know their methods...

The markets decide when a trader makes money. If you have the skills, you have the technology, the market provides an opportunity, and there is little downside risk, you're going against evolution not to. Plus crypto has moved towards capital trading which is my preferred area, if I can generate...

Of course, I'm more experienced than you, and no, only the people in the middle who think they are accredited when they're not are useless, most in the middle are just trying to pay the bills and make it to next week. Absolutely, and without the inferiority complex. No, but close enough...

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...

You just couldn't leave it alone, I see your Trump narrative "Personally I think we need to consider where he comes from", interesting, we can come back to this later. Now, let's ask the simple question, how do you in a verifiable way know Xela is either an accredited investor or accredited...

Threats, taking it up a level I see, psychology knows no bounds "All Roads Lead to Rome", which then leads to why you are answering on behalf of Xela, but that will distract from original point of the thread so perhaps I can kindly suggest we cease that direction from continuing.

Thank you, the feeling is mutual. I'm delighted I've stirred up such interest with so few posts. I can tell you now, it is called a normal distribution and those on the extreme sides are either new and inexperienced or have an abundance of knowledge from professional environments. Then of...

To be clear, as apparently people are interpreting "who" as in wanting to know individuals, it is gauging how much "advice" in general is generated by "non-accredited" traders. I should have known people interpret these things in a micro way rather than the big picture, income traders vs capital...

Well that's not a very educated response, the failed trader part is amusing none the less. Everyone is bestowing the wonders of their knowledge, yet where is the validation that they actually have even the faintest idea what they are talking about, so far I see a lot of talk, a lot of advice...

That is a very good point, however it brings up the other interesting fact, most people place fixed size trades. As I layer my trades in 3-5 blocks, I place, it's a bit more complex but these figures are close enough, 1.25% of account on the first trade, 2.5% on the second, 5% on the third and...

No confusion but I do understand yours, perhaps you can show everyone the entity that regulates accredited investors. Why would I want that, however that is the point, unless people have accredited work experience at an institution, or they have accredited exams, then it is self-certified and...

That's because most traders target 1-2% return on capital per month, simple math. Fixed stops work until they don't, and when they don't most people adjust them and lose more until they remove the stop and the markets move against them causing a margin call evaporating their capital. Right, you...

Interesting, that would be those who have verifiable institutional or hedge fund experience (income), or those those have taken their exams (capital). The same as an accredited investor with $200k per year each of the two most recent years (income) or $1mn net worth excluding primary residence...

That's not strictly correct, marketing has to be open and fair rather than "behind the scenes" comments, and given their size that means they 'could', offset anyone else by 100:1 or even 1,000:1 thereby hiding any material information by "drowning". Now, I have no direct issues with IB, however...
