<b>risk</b> matched, we need one more to play fair... who is it gonna be?
All I want in this forum is to be left alone. Just let me post stuff I feel = hope is helpful, and give me the same respect I extend to everyone else. Is that asking too much?
Apparently so, because a minority of anonymous alias "traders" felt the need to pounce on me at every turn. Those exact-same people who were/are the loudest voices of dissent have suddenly become dead silent. Go figure.
My policy is to treat everyone the way I'd like to be treated. That clearly wasn't working here at all, so now I'm treating others exactly the way they treat me. Respect and courtesy first until proven otherwise, then I'll become a mirror.

Coach, I have nothing to prove... I want nothing from anyone in exchange for any "proof" of trading acumen. Some people here in this forum demand proof of trading success from me. That's fine... we'll do it together, with each of us having something at risk on the line.
I have five mounted whitetail heads in my office right here that all gross score more than 125 B&C for those who understand the language. The same vocal minority here might very well ask me to prove that I'm a deer hunter: show the photos afield, show my license = tags filled out, etc. They might very well say I'm a fraud... the rack mounts were all bought at yard sales.
My reply would be, "Want proof I'm a serious hunter? Buy a license and some wool clothes. Get up at 5:00am and hunt with me from 10/11 thru 12/16 here in NY and then out to Iowa from 12/26 thru 12/30.
You'd see your proof there... as you freeze your butt off one week and get rain soaked the next sitting in trees or slogging thru hills & ravines all day. I absolutely love it, and those who share the passion are always welcome in the woods. Come join me in the trenches... you'll get your proof!
