According to the rules set out by B1S2 if you wish to post your trades then post both entry & stop levels in real-time. I will enforce this from now on. I will be Magna's little helper. In the end of the day only a call with a stop will be treated as legit, all others will be deemed to be just bull....ing. Again that is per the rules set out by the thread starter.

or is it that none of the "good posters" could prove themselves winners in real time? ask the hard questions if you can handle the harsh truths
Well I think it was you who raised this issue last week regarding someones call, and mandlebrotset spoon-fed you the facts along with charts and timestamps. I dont think proving oneself in realtime' has ever been an issue, except for you? Its clear as day. We can all see when a call is posted and the price at that time.
The only issue is those that post lots of good realtime calls are bullied away. Not to worry. Im sure there'll be another one along the way soon. In the meantime we can expect endless hindsight/hypothetical nonsense I guess.
The issue with big picture trading is that it works for a lot of commodities, but not necessary for stocks.
Stocks for most people is simply a way to store / park money. Thus no "real" fundamental value at all.
The big players who are allowed to trade sizes greater than 3 to 4% of the daily volume can move the stock mkt effectively anyway they want.
Sad to see this happen ...
OK, Fine. But just so im not missing something and being terribly stupid.
Can you tell me what can possible be bull$£%" about a post where one says:
"Long here at 1025" (and i look at the ES price and indeed that is the price)
and then 10 mins laters the same poster posts:
"Covering here at 1028 for plus 3"
(I then looks at the ES and the price is indeed 1028)
I dont understand what more someone can do??
i think you need to read thru this thread for a few thousand pages and see that the same question same issue has been raised umpteen times. it didnt start here and it wont end here. fact of matter is if posts are legit, why not entry-stop-exit on EVERY posted call? the OP made this a rule long ago.
ask yourself that
long here at 1025 => stop 1023
five minutes later price is 1021. ten minutes later price is 1028
understand now?
OK. That at least clears something up. You should have re-phrased your complaints. Its not a 'realtime' issue, its that you dont think a trade is 'real' if no stop is posted.
Ammo never posted stops, although since you've all got on his back about it, he now seems to use a standard 60 points stop or so. Is that good enough for you? Can we all start doing that and that'll be the end if this topic? The trading police are teling people how to trade, lol. Not everyone uses the same method to take money from the market.
what if i dont wanna be taken out of a profitable trade by a few points of noise? You need to understand that the 90% of losing traders all trade like YOU!
