Quote from pitbulltrader:
Why do people post trading blotters anyway? Unless your a vendor looking to promote from any combination of long and short accounts to scam the public...
I remember when the Trader P/L thread first started the same questions were asked.
Most of them aren't vendors except for a few.
Anyways, for the past few months I've been seeing this new bashing technique of vendors.
Vendors that post their brokerage statements must be hiding other accounts.
Therefore, the statement they did post has no merits.
Damned if you do and Damned if you don't.
Listen up folks, if you don't believe...
No brokerage statement, no in person live trading session, no audited records will make you a believer.
I'm serious (no sarcasm).
You are determine to find a flaw and a flaw you will find.
Just like any business, there will be happy clients and those that feel like they got ripped off.
I can't think of any vendor of any profession that deals with traders that has 100% satisfied clients (charting vendor, broker vendor, computer vendor, ISP vendor, strategy vendor et cetera).
I also think its
weird to ask a vendor to have clients show up to state if they are successful or not.
We all know what's going to happen when a client shows up at ET and saids the service is good.
Therefore, don't hold your breath in thinking that his clients are reading this thread.
Any trader with integrity wouldn't allow his clients to get involved in threads like this.
Further, ET is not as big as you think especially when the number of active members is less than a few hundred.
By the way, today I did a upgrade of one of my trading tools and it crashed in the middle of a trade.
I lost 3.6 ER2 points on a 6 contract position...it froze when I tried to exit a profitable position at +1.1 points per contract.
Took about 4 mins to do the damage of moving (retracing) 4.7 points after it reached my price area for me to take the profit.
Damn vendors, it's all a conspiracy I tell you...
A conspiracy to take our money.
