Ok guys what do you think of this: Yesterday Nodoji posted a fake blotter. See link: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showpost.php?p=3960386&postcount=280 The second price (101.85) is impossible. Price wasn't there at that time. She admits it later in the thread that it was an April Fool...

Yes he claimed he called it in advance when in fact he called nothing in advance. So he is on public record as a LIAR.

Well, from a psychological perspective who can say what anyone is thinking? Sure, for some people it would be painful and a crushing blow to the ego to fail at something and then watch someone else succeed. See sibling rivalries, etc...... But also, maybe some people are looking at someone...

The only thing that proves it works wonderfully is Form 1099-B that comes at the end of the year from your broker(s). I am not asking you to show P&L by the way. Just making a point, and I think this is why so many want proof. The other part is as I said before just water cooler gossip you...

Yes, so much of the day trading biz is a wizard of oz show............ But with vendors/gurus........... it took me a while to realize this, but they are simply giving people what they want. Just like religious gurus, spiritual gurus, or any other kind of guru. They exist because people...

This is not the same as simply not offering proof. Here he takes credit for an 80 point move and claims above that he posted the trade in advance, and said where he called it, and turns out he posted nothing in advance. Just a hindsight chart after the close. Not to mention his dig at LF...

Given my 2 year experience in trying to learn to day trade futures, and looking back at it now, and see no reason to disbelieve anything Maverick74 has said. I fit his description perfectly, young and naïve with no marketable skills (and English was my second language) and figured I didn't...

Here is an example of what would happen to me. Just like with the triangle examples here, I could find many examples when I would comb over old charts. They would catch my eye, and I would keep seeing them over and over again...... and think I am on to something good and set out to make a...

I will also add that on the Monday chart, it doesn't show enough of the premkt action, but price could have been inside a triangle as the pit opened. Tri high starting at 8:38 ET high and low starting at 8:53 ET low. That tri had a b/o long around 9:23 which fizzled out after 13 ticks run...

Yes, that does happen sometimes. You'll see a triangle and the breakout will fail, and it will morph into a larger triangle, or turn into chop, or something else. But it's not just that. Pointing out triangles after the fact is nice but it assumes you have a trading plan that can catch...

No hidden losers on those charts you posted this week. In fact one chart had a profitable triangle that you didn't annotate. I mean overall, when I went through months of charts, I would run into tough periods. Some periods would be very favorable to certain signals/patterns/etc, but over...

Well I never saw any of that. And if you posted blotters showing amazing results.... well it probably wouldn't do any good for me. I studied what I could find of you methods to the best of my abilities and well, enough was enough for me. These triangles and such look so good in hindsight...

Maybe so. To be clear, I am not bashing Big mike. Just shows how hard it is to day trade. Also, I think some respect goes to guys like cornix and Austin. They had the balls to put themselves out in public when the outcome was unknown. I have to wonder... I doubt they would have done such...

I did test out day trading ideas, probably one of the few who did that too.... including Nodoji and Anek ideas. What I found was.... marginally profitable. I didn't see how I could make a consistent living for years to come via day trading, so I did not pursue any further. I think day...

There was once a thread over there asking how many had succeeded in making trading their primary source of income, and no one publicly responded in the thread. However someone said (paraphrasing) "Come on guys, MFbreakout makes thousands of dollars a day!!" LOL So yes some people do believe...

Well.... I see this same thing on Bigmike's vendor section a lot... Last I looked they were talking about OPenTrader and some guys Ziad and Awas who promised to show daily pnl a year ago, and still haven't done it. LOL guys doesn't take a genius to see what is really going on. Even if...

No easy edges or easy anything in trading How many people around your town have quit work to day trade for a living? None that i can see around anywhere. Personally I only trade long term now......... and have some ideas that seem solid...... i think i can be net profitable (no thoughts...

Wow....... that Livermore quote is so scary in it's accuracy even now..... so many decades after he wrote it......

Well, let's ask a few questions........ If there was any profession you were interested in I am sure you could find practitioners in your city. Doctor, auto mechanic, accountant, sales rep, programmer, customer service, construction, law, and more. Some will be easier to find than others...
