As a fellow scalper of many years, I can confirm the same win rate from this setup.
Absolutely.
Well aware of them myself ...
When I return to trading, I wil make sure to put myself in that same position.
At least you have a way forward.
To be fair to dbphoenix, I remembered when I started trading, one of my first coach had us to plot trendlines, parallels one, mid ones for well over one year. Obviously, silly us, we kept complaining!
It looks like the same pattern among traders.
That's exactly my point.
Doesn't matter if someone's posted a call here or a call there regardless of how impressive it was.
As do you.
To what purpose? To save the low-hanging fruit from itself? You were screwed by a vendor. Boo hoo. Move on.
What a novel idea. Responsibility for one's own decisions, for one's own actions. Accountability.
I doubt that you'll rest your case. If you did, you'd have to assume the responsibility for your situation. But I am curious. How could you possibly verify whatever I might tell you with regard to how much I made in 2013? (For those who are wondering the same thing, I refer you to the pdf below)
IMO that's very important to also spend 10K hours doing something actually reasonable for gaining desired skill. Just 10K hrs of doing something stupid (or even worse, repeating the same stupid algorithm again and again) unlikely helps.
Thorough self-analysis, deliberate and honest wish to become better combined with 10K hours is much better.
Well, I suppose we have a different view on life then.
If I see a guy who's about to walk in front of a car that he does not see coming, I WILL pull him away from that car, even though his 'responsible for his own actions'.
What a load of bullshit.
Everyone could verify what you're saying if you posted an account statement., but I didn't even ask for that. I just asked an honest reply, no need for a blotter. You couldn't even answer that.
There's a few big players posting their blotters on the P&L thread and they don't have time to make ten thousands of posts on multiple message boards trying to be a guru.
I suspected you to be a charlatan. Now I'm convinced.
If you believe that an account statement provides proof, it's no wonder you got screwed.
Redirect your focus toward developing a consistently-profitable trading plan. Then follow it. Then you may be able to hang onto the "small fortune" that you claim to have made if you can make it again.
I didn't say it did, but it's better than nothing. I didn't even ask for an account statement.
The answer is simple: How much money did you make in 2013 from trading?
What do you have to lose from answering it?
Your ego?
By the way, it's funny that you talk about how I shouldn't waste my time exposing charlatans or being frustrated as you put it.
I've been on ET only a few times this year, so it's not like I'm spending a lot of time here. In fact, I'm ready to leave again very soon. You're the guy who practically lives here.

Yeah, that's it. You got it. My ego can't stand the response from a bunch of anonymous internet trading forum habitues. Yep.
Good grief.
