Cornix's TA Performance

I notice that most (almost all) of your trades occurs within a specific time of day within a 2 hour window. I do know you're in Europe, you work during the day and trade part-time at night...resulting in you only having time to trade late in the evening before you go to bed.
Here's my question, considering you're not trading Emini NQ other times of the trading day...how can you validate the merits of your use of technical analysis via only trading a few days per week and in a 2 hour window for those few trading days.
My question is based on the assumption that you would be getting trade signals at other times of the trading day and on other trading days if you were trading. Thus, it can't be that you're not getting trade signals due to to fact that your trading is so specific within that 2 hour window and you've not posted trading statements on a consistent basis as in about 2 days per week.
Therefore, your trade results are greatly impacted by your work schedule at your other job and whatever else that your doing that prevents you from trading full trading sessions for the Emini NQ futures which is why I'm curious about how does such a trading schedule validate the merits of your use of technical analysis.
Another way to look at it. Is the represented 2 hours window your showing in your broker statements the best time for you to use your trade method. Thus, would your trading results be "better" if you were available to trade Emini NQ longer than those 2 hours.

Quote from tobbe:
Cornix does not live in Europe and he does not work during the day to trade part-time at night. You got your facts wrong.
He told me earlier he was a working psychologist. Maybe it was a joke.
I'll let him reply to clarify things especially with his broker statements showing typically 22hr for his time zone as if he's trading late at night where ever he's located.

He said he lives in Siberia.

He said in the past, Russian and full time trader but licensed shrink.
I know many traders that can only trade on their lunch break at their jobs, only trade at night after putting the kids to bed or trade only within a specific time window because its the only time of the day they are able to trade.
Thus, his consistency in posting broker statements with the typical 22hr time zone and only a few times per week implies he's not a full-time trader, trading not his primary source of income and that he has a set schedule involving his job and personal life.
Nothing unusual about that considering most traders are part-timers, hobbyist or academia. Very few traders trade for a living and full-time.
I'm just curious about what his trading results would be while using technical analysis if he was "able" to trade a complete Emini NQ futures trading session in comparison to his typical 2 hour trading window after a long day of work as a psychologist. For example, is he tired (mentally and/or physically) prior to trading after a long day at work as a psychologist ?
I have a trading pal that works as a grocery store manager. He gets home about 7pm est and then helps the spouse with the kids. He takes a 30 minute rest period and boots up the computer to trade a few hours in the Hang Seng HSI futures...typically only 2 hours before going to bed himself. He's only able to do such a few times per week to prevent the spouse from telling him to sleep outside with the dog.

Seriously? Do you really believe that? Good for you. I can demonstrate, oh yea demonstrate and prove 15% a year. And I can show it going back now 15 years. I would be happy to take your money, but I would also spend time looking into legal obligations. On the other hand m 15% is a portion of my portfolio. If I manage OTM, I will charge for it. I think this guy is a fake.Quote from wrbtrader:

Listen to yourself you parasites from the cesspool.
Is your life really and/or trading really this miserable that you must vent your frustrations on trading journals from strangers?
He stated he only trades the morning because that is when we get the highest quality of price action, I don't agree with just doing the morning, but I can't disagree with it being typically higher quality than the afternoon.
As far as days not trading, he is trading size due to OPM, and not 1 car or 100 shares like some of you pikers, so he chooses quality over quantity, therefore, he is picky about his trades and being overly responsible due to having people to answer to.
On top of that if you question him about posting "did not trade", he has posted continuous trade blotter to back up the no trading statements of the past.
Some of you people really have balls, a person takes the time to open up his trading results and share it with the world and its like if it was a green light to throw tomatoes at the journal.
People are questioning for the sake of questioning, it's not like he is claiming and posting 10% returns on a daily basis, or something overly ridiculous and absurd like the Surf Journal, it's a typical journal with ups and downs and quite transparent too.
Life is short, so don't be so mofing miserable, because this is how you will be remembered.
