He is actually worse than a joke. He is missusing a possibly very valuable system. Back in the summer he was right 80-90% of the time, but instead of using his prediction as target he has been using it as entry. He could have made 5+ pts per entry, had he listened to a few of us. Instead he was making 3-4 pts per month.

Now his hitting average is down to something like 40-50%, so he is very inconsistent. Still with a 2-3 pts stoploss this could be made a profitable strategy. Today it gave 3+ pts as profit from the time he posted until the target.

It almost doesn't matter that you missed the entry by 1 tick or 2 points, the bottomline is that you MISSED the trade altogether....

It does not matter, you made no money.

And what about the flash crash fiasco, you think we have forgotten about that one ?

I might not be a stellar trader but I don't lie like you OBVIOUSLY did that May 6th day.

Very wise.
But if you miss a profitable entry consistently by 1 tic, then move your entry by 1 tic.
This is quite different to moving it by 2 points.
