Educators who Have Zero proof they even trade (99%) - wtf?


If You have the balls now You show what Overnight asked You.

Overnight is selling his services off information he is getting from ET traders. Baron should charge him because he is a vendor. He should be a sponsor and pay Baron. If you derive a benefit out of another business, do not act like you are an ordinary trader when you are fishing for information? This is totally underhanded and unethical.
 
I read a great book years ago, titled "The Talent Code". While the book was not about financial markets per se, a few lessons are undeniably correlated. The greatest coaches are silver medalists at best if not complete failures. But, somehow they create world champions, who never coach anyone.
Back to the financial world, I have never seen, nor can I imagine a successful trader with a working system come out on social media, calling him/herself "the greatest ever" and trying to make money selling it. It is a complete BS to me, no offence to anyone's business ventures.
Great topic otherwise!

The best traders do not need to advertise, other traders will know by their results. It is the wanna be gurus one should be wary of, they will exaggerate their abilities to sell you the dream.
 
Of course not. My point is that educators simply show proof that they really trade. Like a recent blotter.

Let's get back on topic

OK if 99% don't have proof they trade then aside from yourself, who does?

When I Google "online stock trading course reviews" I get a bunch of Best trading courses from several different sites. There are several that repeat. Any reason they would be highly rated if they were scams?

That's completely different from making performance claims. Like claiming x% wins.

Let's get back on topic

Sounds like word games. If someone "really trades" that heavily implies they are profitable, especially in this context.

Otherwise, who cares. Any idiot can hit the buy or sell button. Do you seriously think that people want to pay good money to an "educator" who is a losing trader, just because their losing trades are actually real?

K, I suppose that is proof of a profitable year. But there are two and a half problems with it.

A.) It is from 2009.

B.) It is from 2009.

Ba.) 16K profit on 5 million in trading NAV.

Do you have a statement from the last 5 years?

(And before you say it doesn't matter what year it is from, I will say it does. Because while you are showing a verifiable track record of making $16K profit in trading 11 years ago, you are not showing anything recent. I think that is very important. 2009 is not NOW).

Don't try to fool people with that 4.9 million number in NAV, or "notional value" or whatever. It is irrelevant. I am sure futures traders would exceed that notional with the same net profit figure. Notional is just not that important.

You got a point there. 2009 was an aberration. I made a killing that year, and left a LOT of money at the table. That was the point when I switched from stocks to futures.

Other aberration years:
1999-2000
2008-2009
2020-2021

I do not count these years, as they truly DO NOT represent normal performance. Anything in between, is acceptable...

No @KCalhoun we are on topic. You are delusional if you think you can call others out over their lack of track records but when questioned on yours you get evasive and dodge.

I don't agree with @Overnight 99% of the time because she's a boomer Masshole, but I do here. If I agree with @Overnight this is a big issue.
 
I'm going to be unpopular by respectfully disagreeing. To me, the purpose of the educator or mentor is to teach a process. To teach a skill and for the trader to take that knowledge and fit that to his/her risk tolerance and account size. A tennis coach does not have to be a top player to teach skills. I think this is no different.
very true

the only coach of Anirban Lehri, a Indian from my home club, who now plays on the American PGA tour, does not even know how to play golf.

on the contrary most excellent successful people have no clue how to teach
 
I trade live every day and help others for free. I’ve never understood why educators do t show their actual accounts and feel they must paper trade.

Can you show your trading records? Because you can be fake too.
About KCalhoun: In all honesty, I suppose that his track record is not so brilliant, but we know at least that he did trade in 2009.

Maybe you are a papertrader.
How do you know that educators are paper traders? Do you have any hard proof or are you just writing what your imagination tells you?

This thread confirms that you should never post any actual accounts and also not help others. It will almost always come back in your face. I don't need any advice or help, neither will I share what I know about essential elements to be consistently profitable.
Too much people on ET try to attack other people without ever showing that they themselves are the real deal. And it asks too much time consuming for things that are irrelevant to me.
One of the first people I blocked was Overnight who is filling ET with a lot of useless posts. My list has become long and is growing every day. The length of the list shows how the quality of ET went down the drain over the years.
