Crash Monday? SVB contagion, VIX spike

What Noah and the others are suggesting is that you do not post losing settlements. I simply mentioned that you did that once about a month or so ago during the intraday. You finished that day in the green IIRC.
If it is your bag to not post the days you are in the red, then so be it. I am just trying to be the catalyst for you to understand the mindset of the mortals below you who do not understand your style.
Who does?
I do post losers when it's outperforming. Again, the intent is to only post days when I am outperforming, mkt up or down. Posting beta-wins is stupid. Mkt up 1% and clown comes to the table with 1.08%. You have to assume it's market-perf/beta.
What is the utility to posting a -3% w/o context? I am not posting the specific trades nor am I adding commentary, generally. Is there any value to a guy fat-fingering a 100 lot and posting the loss?
Its unfortunate that when you are proven wrong, you can't take it like a man. Look, you admit here that you are wrong, but then criticize him for taking the time to look it up. Are you telling us that you don't spend 15 minutes digging into something that doesn't sit right with you? Remember how you uncovered that Xela chick? Don't tell me that didn't take more than 15 mins.
Jesus Dest, you're a guy with great intentions and do really good work, but why you have to resort to calling everyone a POS or claiming they are mental I honestly don't know. Resorting to name calling honestly devalues your street cred. You're probably right that in real life, you're nothing like this, but have this need to act out, so you do it online. Maybe its an actual condition you have, I really don't know, but even if you are right 80% of the time, the 20% or 10% that you are wrong, if you can't show humility, its honestly unfortunate. I know this is just an anonymous online forum, but I can't help but think that nothing good comes from this bad behavior. Maybe you come here to vent so you don't do it in real life? But if this is the case, I can't help but wonder that whatever makes you need to vent like this isn't getting solved in a proper manner.
Also, most of us don't understand 75% of the shit you are sharing when it comes to options, so its not really having any impact. Us chart traders only know long or short with stops and targets. We can't play in your sandbox and its not fair if you want to make us look dumb if you don't want to speak our language.
I am probably talking out of school, but I made $200K from my first LV seminar. If my street cred was a problem for clients I think I'd know by now. (Seminars are closed, don't ask, that era is behind me). Guy as CSFB paid me 600-large for arb-shit after finding me here.
OK, I get it, but you misunderstood my intentions. I assumed he was right, but wanted the guy to waste the energy searching. What does he gain from being right? All he's shown is that he screenshots my replies to catch something. Also proved that he was ill-intentioned in PMs.
Did I send him the PM or did he send it?
If that's not telling you something than I suggest you harden the fuck, up.
My exit-shrink after my injury told me that I fight (melee) bc I had a f*cked up childhood and project my hurt on to supposed victims. "Savior Syndrome". Not true. I had a happy childhood, as it was. I just like to f*ck with ppl. Especially posers whom screenshot my posts looking for the edit arbitrage.
GL to you.
I hope you can live with the disappointment bc I surely can.
Wow... I think this is about as close as anyone will get to seeing you go against what your natural instinct is!
I honestly have no idea what happened in PM between you too, and luckily, I'm not crazy enough to dig into it. But from all my dealings with LF, I think he is a stand up guy who is trying to make trading work and is making calls the way he sees them. If anything, its you who I have seen twist things around more so.
I even remember the fights you had with Sweet Bobby. I don't remember how that turned out, but he was a decent guy. Yes, I understand you guys were all trying to convince him that he had major holes in his strategy, especially since he was following that failed Karen chick, but wasn't this guy an absolutely stand up guy? Didn't he even have something like 7 foster children? I don't think he deserved name calling, and if he was too stubborn to see deficiencies in his method, its actually better to try and convince him where he is going wrong rather taking the low road.
Just because someone is going down the wrong path with regards to trading doesn't make them a target for ridicule and name calling. Trust me, us guys here trying to make trading work are already on edge after losing money and realizing years wasted with nothing to show for it. If you can't help, don't make it worse. If all you do is pick fights, one day you will piss off the wrong person. Or who knows, maybe you pick fights at ET so you don't pick fights in real life which could be way more dangerous! LOL (even for a tall and fit guy like you)
What accident? I'm not sure I ever remember reading anything about this. But from what I do remember reading, since your dad lost all the money and you had to take over the finances, I can't help but think this would be somewhat traumatic (although I guess this wouldn't be during your childhood). Aren't we supposed to look up to our fathers? If you saw your father fail and had to essentially replace him, isn't this in some way a major letdown?
I remember reading that women who come from abusive relationships tend to keep picking men who are abusive. It seems messed up, but the rationale is that they keep going back to the place where things went downhill so that they can fix it. They of course just keep getting abused and become a victim yet again, as opposed to actually fixing what went wrong, but it almost kind of makes sense. I think that shrink was onto something to be honest. Is fucking with people really a good use of your time? I mean if I had the money you do, I imagine I'd have lots of free time as well, but you gotta admit, spending precious time on messing with strangers online is a very low form of entertainment. So if a smart guy like you submits to this form of entertainment, it must surely be more for than just shits and giggles. This makes me think the shrink was really onto something.
You're telling me to harden up, but I almost wonder if this is what you need to do. I don't mean any disrespect Dest, but it totally makes sense that by picking on people, you are looking for something. You have so much success but pick on people who have very little. Why is this? Sure, many on here are trolling and faking shit, so fuck with them, but a good number of us are trying hard to make trading work and failing. The market of course doesn't give a shit, but it doesn't mean that you as a human being you cannot show some kindness.
Sometimes there is some alpha that you share, although most of it goes over my head. I'm also not actually bothered by your behavior. Its a good exercise to learn to not be triggered by anything. And I honestly do believe that your intentions are good, but your execution sometimes sucks, so I like to follow along to see how things turn out.
I do block some people, but only because their posts are total nonsense or just stupid music video links. I do actually find many of your posts funny or useful, but you do get it wrong 5% of the time. This would of course be fabulous if it was a trading win/loss ratio!
OK, you're selling it too hard. Assume that I don't have a TBI.
LF's only intent was to false flag in a PM and then troll in public. I'd never replied to the guy. Search for replies to him vs. his replies to me. I've not done it, 0fvcks, but it may help you with what you seek. Even knowing that, I would not f*ck with him if he wasn't a piker that thought he'd punch up.
I was traumatically injured on the job and had my left ankle, leg, upper torso reconstructed. I posted the biographical-info here, but not interested in revisiting it now.

Dude, I made more in a week in 2019 than you'll make, lifetime. I would love to see my sucky-executions.
Please link me. Truly, I'd like to improve.
Here's some of mine that you can use to compare/contrast to others here. Not the largest PNL for the week. Please start a compilation of all the other PNL threads. Link them when you have the time.
