I was going to close a position in a winning instrument in my portfolio table. Just then my collegue walk up behind me and asked me whether I wanted dougnuts. I must have clicked on a losing instrument and had the mouse pointed on the "close position" button. When I wanted to check...

ok, here's a better visual to the term BACK(side)TESTing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4S8HfCAtTo

Have you BACKTESTed your trading approaches? Maybe online Lottery is more real than the markets and it's free freelotto.com

I am a honors/honest masters grad from a top computer science university with 10 years of trading experience I am not asking for any salary, training or even soliciting to trade for you (so I will never lose a cent for you from trading) . Just give me your money and that would be good enough.

This horse looks ready for BACKTESTING which is another hocus pocus way of deluding newbies from real-world trading by sending over-zealous fresh grads in circles doing rubbish systems-testing.

So, have you 'backtested' your hide and seek approach? How do you watch your 'behind' when you come out of the bushes? :D

Can you enter a battlefield with your bare hands? Or would it be better if you had at least a machine gun? It's hard to say actually, one is a master of kung fu and the other had never used a machine gun before. But in any case, both would be crushed when the big tanks (institutes) or...

What was the horse name? Now I know the saying 'straight from the horse's mouth':p

Believe me, I have seen traders with impressive over 300% returns in a year playing China stocks with one account getting into a bank as a fund manager without reporting their other accounts.

I trade mostly China stocks and some are listed in US,HK,SG too. Many traders I know have almost opposite positions of the same stocks in different accounts and most certainly one account net profit will stand out above the other accounts after a year or more.

It's just an example. Who's going to check my losing e-trade account in HK compared to my winning account in IB in US?

For example, if I had an account that was long aapl, short intc, long goog & another account that was short appl, long intc, long goog over a course of 2 years, I will only show the first account even though the second account is also a net profit because goog outweighs aapl in cash returns and...

At least this makes sense

Who will be stupid enough to let losing accounts be audited?

Who's going to report all the accounts. Traders have so many accounts. Really dumb.

It's not only the winning trades but the net profit of a winning acct.
