Chatroom gurus claiming to have $100k days -- total BS?

afaik Ross never stated that he's 100% kosher. on the contrary, his website states: 'results may be based on simulated or hypothetical performance'

Ross is fake and/or a scam. In his videos, he shows getting out at prices that are nearly impossible especially with the volume he was in...

If you watch madaz videos(at least the ones I've watched) where he record his live trades, you can see the volume and prints. So his entries and exits are reasonable and would be able to be filled. I don't see those on Ross...

IDK why people here are harping on T&S, it isnt accurate.

Depending on your broker it will hold a bunch of sales at any given point and when they all come in they will batch to the T&S ticker and you will see 300k (pick a big number) sales at a current price with no movement whatsoever. Better off using something that records the whole context at LOD/HOD with total shares traded at that given point instead of a per trader basis.

Your problem, Ken, is that you are running the same confidence game from 20 years ago and it is outdated compared to what the new breed of scammers are using. Stop complaining about how the kids are doing it better than you and get with the program. The fish today do not care about your claims of being an “honest educator“ or that you are an “industry expert.” They want to see big dollars moving fast in the account. You already do a lot of cherry picking, so up and down is not a problem. Just show them big numbers. You can’t charge big if you don’t show big. Jesus, you are a dinosaur.

well said.

So far 18/20, or 90% voting agree with me.

Checking time and sales to verify the trades are genuine is a smart idea. Looking for 5 of them gives plenty of opportunity to verify, even if 1or 2 gets partial fill. It's important to check real vs sim

From what I understand if a retail trader makes any substantial amount of money in a short period is not congratulated (actually he becomes a mark). There is absolutely no reason to go public with it... if it's the truth. Actually, it is far better to present as a loser and keep it as his little secret.

Now Vendors....that's another story.

lol, this thread can be summarized as an old school charlatan showing frustration that the new breed of younger charlatans aren't 'keeping it real'

The world has changed, 20 years ago new traders were happy to learn how to make $100K a year from trading, now they want to know how to make $100K per trade.

As a snake-oil vendor the OP needs to adapt this snake-oil vending skills to what the market is currently looking for.

Kids these days have $100K in student loan debts, their parents live in $500K or $Million+ dollar homes. Thousand dollar iphones and 100K Teslas have been normalized.

The world has higher aspirations these days.
