Quote from atticus:

I am not riding you, but I am suspect of those that offer half-truths in the guise of altruism. If it works, give the code. If it's discretionary, then state so. That goes for blatant BS as well.

I know you're somehow special, but if you're intent on BSing us, use something like fluid mechanics for the wow-factor. Stating some extensions and fibo stuff is hardly proprietary. And if you deem it so, it's probably best left unstated. "Look but don't touch" "Smell but don't taste"

I'll leave it there.

This hardly appropriate. I post trades in advance and with stops and these are about 1/10th of my companies signals...if you don't want to hear anything I have to say don't ruin it for other people by arguing with me.

There is a fun thing to do, if one likes statistics. Get a piece of paper, and start to write down people's calls, then see after a while how they are doing.

Quote from petty1978:

another trade:

1066 sell short
1055 exit
1077 stop

Can we just have one call at a time? You are still in the short from 1060, currently approaching your SL.

So far today you are:

+5.25
-2.5
BE

There was a good entry call for 64.25 short but didn't hit your target of 59, so I took that as BE....

We just hit your SL so that is another -12.75 so you closed the day:

-10

And your last quoted call in this post what I won't count is -8 currently.

Not judging, just making statistics...

Since you replied. You're selling something. The barrier to entry on this discovery is consciousness. Can we assume that the remaining 90% of the signals are the ones that actually earn?

In any event, I am not the forum police, nor can I police stupidity in a broader-sense, so ET will not have to suffer any further from my comments concerning your posts.

It is impossible to judge a traders P&L from few posts...these are 1/10th of the signals I receive daily and there is a money scheme behind it all...come on guys are you really this naive?

Atticus STFU, most of us are are benefiting from a small view into petty's methods.

If you want to be special go be "God" in your forum

Today is an ideal close to initiate short gamma.

And if you like take every trade I have posted and run the math. I started in this forum last Monday. These are random trades not part of any money management scheme. Then post it and I will verify your results.

And I offered bighog NT code and he refused.

Quote from Pholeuon:

Kingy, in this situation stop bellow such obvious target like gap close (if you were such hurry that you must in) is beginners mistake, it is not worth of you. You need pay attention what you are doing.

My channells top is about at 1073.70 now - let see if it holds (usually to the top it breaks with gap up out of RTH.)

are u still in?

if I may?

"think" you are benefitting versus "actually" benefitting are two close-knit but very different things. hindsight is usually the reality check

as for trying to structurally predict what the tapes will do from spot A to B to C in current mile-high volatility environment, forget it. those days are over with until the VIX returns to sub-20 readings again. right now it's all about read & react, sometimes anticipate & react is barely fast enough to execute.

We can only judge by the trades you post here. Would you mind posting only the winning ones in the future? Maybe less is more, that's what I am trying to say....

Furthermore, what is the value of posting trades if they are not consistent or teaching something? (Mind you consistent loser trades are also good, one can fade them.)
The worst posted trades are the inconsistent ones, because one can not go by them, either way....
Just an observation...

P.S.: Your company is really OK with you posting their trades?
P.S.S.: How do you have time to post here if there are 9 times more trades and about 30% of today's posts came from you?
