A real trader posting real trades to benefit newcomers.

Before you put out your wagers, take it from me...You need to prove yourself to the grizzly maze that are the killers here, who most likely are REAL LIVE MONEY traders who question your approach. And there is also something odd about those snapshots you posted...Many of those shots have little plus signs next to them, which means there is more information there. Why not expand those trees so we can see the whole deal? Anyways...

*shrugs*

great convincing data.

I was able to prove that I was a not a fake bugger right-quick, when challenged, when I did something in my journal that very respected posters here requested. So I did. It was not bothering with posting just bland screen shots of a simple entry or exit, and posting a tiny snippet of some "trade screen" from a tiny smartphone. It was posting the whole deal. Trade summaries, executions with time stamps, and redacted account statements. And I was also able to prove, to at least the REAL LIVE MONEY traders here who use NinjaTrader7, that my stuff was live real money, not live real sim.

(You need to do the same, on YOUR particular trading platform/broker statement, if you expect anybody to take you seriously. Especially if you trade from a smartphone? What is with that? How can you do proper analysis of markets on a 5" screen? Pretty sure the majority of successful traders need some large monitors in an array, with a REAL LIVE PC, to succeed?)

But I digress.

I will do it again here for your benefit, in synopsis.

Here are my current REAL LIVE MONEY trades for the month thus far...

Before we go further, I want you to notice the column titled "A". That is the account number. The one with the "W" is the sim account. I show that for a reason. It is evident in the trade execution screen, which follows...

Now notice the "A" column on the right. That is account number column. Notice the W in rows #3 and #14 in that column. Now look just to the left of that, you will see the order ID column. You will notice how the REAL LIVE MONEY orders are with a string of numbers, but the order IDs for the "W" REAL LIVE SIM orders are a string of hexadecimal gibberish. Do you notice this?

Here is the other side of the coin that people are calling you on...Show a broker statement. I've done it before, and I have no compunction about doing it again. Redacted of course. Note that today's trades as seen in the trade log will not show up until tomorrow's statement, which comes in early-morning hours. Ergo, I don't have it yet. Alas...

You will note that I have redacted personal information, and the 5th digit from the account balances. This is for privacy, of course.

In case you do not like to do math, here's the aforementioned live real money trade summary screen without the sim account in there...

So that is basically it, Mr. yc47. If you wish to see the evolution of a journal from a regular not-rich person like myself, and see what it is like to be grounded and not a faker, and garner respect amongst the good ETers here, (who by the way, have a fuckton of wisdom to share, should you befriend them and choose to be nice and genuinely wanting to learn), then just do a search up top for "and they have a plan" with my nick in the member name box. You'll find my original journal in there.

It is on hold because I took the advice I was given here by some ET friends back in Feb/March, and did not "rush back in to try to make it all back". Unfortunately, I waited a bit longer than I should have, and am only now getting back into the groove. But I refuse to restart that thing until I make back the $20K I lost in the correction.

And THAT is REAL LIVE MONEY TRADING.

My advice is to take some advice and get a bit more humble here, and NOT be a Charles Tanti. It never works out well for those types.

Wow, a long article for something simple. I actually showed plenty of broker statement. I deleted them. There is one guy who is destriero got to see them. Of course it is a free country, you are free to believe or not believe.

For the real or fake arguments, I am stopping with this post once and for all.

If you believe what you see is real, and worth observing (I am not saying you need to follow, just carefully observe), you will make real or SIM money to build confidence. Then, learn the methodology, esp. how I gauge market mood.

To clarify again, when I put out a limit order, it is always paired with a conditional limit exit target. When you see the screen shot and does not see the order having a sibling pair, that means it is an exit order, the position is already there.

Thus there is no difficulty in following my trade with your sim money to see if you make money or not. Good luck to all that are still believing. I am a swing trader, but do sometimes make quick in and out trades. You do not need to follow those. Just the swing trades.

BTW, Overnight, you are not there yet, in terms of making it in trading. You are just one of my many prays. We need people like you to make money. Thanks for contributing anyway.

Interesting, nobody else got to see them. How convenient you deleted them so quickly from your thread, while mine have been there for nearly 2 years. Destriero, care to verify this?

"Conditional limit exit" order is a "stop limit" in the futures world. Welcome to the real.

You simply did not understand anything I posted, did you?

Now I know you are fake. And you are quite young, also. This I can gather. You are trying to jockey around your obscene knowledge about how to make money to an old crowd of folks who are not buying your excuses for a dollar.

You are insulting the intelligence of many posters here. Dude (or dudette), some of us have been posting online for longer than your parents have been alive. Check yourself.

Oh, here, have some good music to wash down reality with...

 
How sad, you are not making money, but so arrogant, and confident you can guess my age. Haha, thanks for being in the market with your money, you provide people like me food to eat. thank you.

Hehe, hey, dude, you started your own downfall on this site. Remember?

"Now, what else do you need me to put out, so that you can behave like a man with balls, a sincere and real apology, and convince all the other suckers in this thread to do the same?
Meanwhile, I apologize to all those who believed me in this thread for wasting time on all those losers. But apparently people with thousands of post are still losers.

Indeed.

The first thing you identify a loser with is that they do not believe others can win.

As my journal thread proves, I believe others can win. It just takes a long time. If you would take the time to read through it, you'd see that it is a real attempt to show what happens in REAL LIFE. It's a real thread, no punches pulled. I believe people CAN win. I am grateful that I have this forum to express such, and am given a bit of latitude by the hot eyeballs and surfer dudes for my occasional indiscretion.

This is a community, and each community has members. Some temporary, some permanent. Some have estates, while others have cabanas on the beach. Or something. You know what I am trying to say? Oh, wait, you are using your smartphone to google the word "cabana" right now so you get the context. Sorry.

I tried to be nice and cordial, but you keep attacking. Alas.

I think yc47ib's method is actually quite good. He is in effect
using a fade recent few day extrema type system that is good in
range bound markets. His adjustments are pretty good and going long
into Trump's tariff Monday evening sell off was also pretty good in
retrospect since the markets sold the expectation and bought the news.
His system has been working well with TSLA too. I hope he keeps
posting. whatever he wants to. Tricky part of fade type systems
is figuring out how to avoid them when markets are trending. I
want to learn what yc47ib does if markets trend.

A few words about teaching. I have been a professor for 13 years of my life, and teaching in some of the best universities in the world, I learned that no matter how patiently and carefully you try to teach all students, only those who are motivated to learn learn. Those are stubborn in a good university are for a reason, once you convert them to modest learners, they will make up pretty quickly. But this forum, people are not all from the top universities, as we can see already from the previous 8 pages of the thread.

I am not here to teach, but only to share, with a bit more patience to those who are eager to learn. So, if you have questions, ask politely I may try to answer. Do not attack me, you can always chose to ignore this thread and mind your own business somewhere else.

To those with patience, if you want to find my daily update, try around midnight pacific time, I should have posted update, otherwise I might be too busy with other things to set up any new entries/exits, or I think the market is not worth an adjustment to my existing plans.

Normally, I wake up around 9 am or later pacific time. I do not stare at the screen to watch my trades. If I found I have fills, I will post an update with grab screen. If I read more info from the market actions, I might adjust the entries/exits. If I do that, I will also update the screen.

If I am really not busy with my life, I might find time to do another update of my accounts around 1-2pm pacific time. But those grab screens will be from another trade station in another location, thus a bit different in format. Since I use two computers in this location, I only update one account's screen, the other I need to make extra effort to grab screen, which I will not.

So, to summarize, if you want to follow tightly my trades, check this thread 12 midnight, 10:30am, then possibly 2:30pm pacific time each day.

Again, since I have preset entry and exit points, you can always assume if I do not give an update, those will be filled at the preset prices. Therefore you should see them in my completed Orders windows in the grab screen images.

Very rarely, I find the market condition merits me sitting down in front of a computer or pull out my cell phone (cell phone trades cost me 25 cents more each side, I tend to try to save that, LOL, as they say, you do not get rich by wasting pennies), to watch the market and make on the fly decisions. More often than not, those type of trades are not most optimal trades anyway, when you are under the heat of the action, so to speak.

But I am human, I get bored sometimes and do some quick scalp trades, you will see those in my grab screens too, I will put a note if that happens.

Good luck to all and good night.
