Asking a show-off for proof

Quote from Spydertrader:

Add the person to your ignore list if you feel no value exists in their posts. Orient yourself to the market, rather than to personalities, and spend your time learning to trade, instead of, learning to handle idiots on the interwebs.

Maybe the guy can trade, or maybe he represents just another of many trolls who frequent web sites such as these. Either way, his skill set has no influence over your own. Focus on developing your own talents, and you'll find you no longer give a rat's ass what anybody else has to say.

Good Trading to you.

Thanks for the great advice. Instinctively I know you're abs. right.

In my 5-yr trading I'm a confirmed money loser, only just recently breaking even with a new-found belief in my method. Job at McDonald's would pay better. Had I been a trading winner, nobody would be able to throw me for a loop by attacking my method. So my own bad performance + my own internal demons have set me up for this insecurity in the face of attack.

Very grateful for your advice.

He's abusive, he asserts that he can prove negatives.. he's a dumb son of a bitch con man I'd say just from seeing that post... there is no good outcome from associating with him most likely so hit the ignore button... If he builds up his ego online and starts talking like that to people in person, likely he will get spankings... so just hit the ignore button and let him rant all day.. don't let people quote him, it ruins if for those that have him on ignore...

He's nailed just about everybody in the forum - latest casulaties are 2 trading buddies who each gave him $40k.

Can't do nothin about it because its a UK site, 99.9% Brits, he is Brit too, so are the mods and American-bashing is their favorite sport.

I'll be gone within a month most likely - lose my journal, great buddy exchange of charting/live trades etc. Bummer.

1) Brokerage Statements (can be faked)
2) PnL Statements from Stock, Futures and Currency Transactions (can be faked)
3) Live Calls (can't be faked, but most definitely can be fudged)

This is the internet ... if you're really this pissed at the guy, just take my first advice and and tell'em to fuck off.

Thank you for almost completely clearing up my fog on this "proof" subject.

So OK, I get points 1 & 2. Done.

but point 3 .. how can a live call be fudged if it has the forum time stamp?

They will make up stories about their live calls or only point out the good ones... or make them after the fact and say that they were too busy to be typing in the forum. They put the burden of tracking all their live calls on you... and there seem to be a lot of lazy people that will not do what it takes to establish some error band of accuracy..

Something that might work if the trade caller was automated would be an automated post to the Trader's Chat here on ET in realtime...
 
SpotTrader,

Liberal use of the ignore function is your best defense. I add people almost every day I read these forums. But at the end of the day, why do you care? Your time can be better spent improving your trading, not trying to one up some fool. If you believe you didn’t get the product you thought you would, let it be a lesson that things that often seem too good to be true, usually are. Acknowledge you made a mistake and move on. Also remember, that the more someone brags about how much money they have and how they move it around, the more likely they are to be full of it. The really successful people try to keep their affairs as private as possible. They don’t need to brag to feel better about themselves. They have that quiet confidence that comes from knowing they are in charge of their own destiny and that they and they alone are responsible for it. Life it too short.

Good trading
