How is retail day trading anything but a gamble?

[destriero]

Not at all, there is absolutely nothing wrong with posting buy/sell signals with specific stops and targets.

It's just the "hey look at me I am a big shot I am making big bucks and you are all just a bunch of losers" attitude that I really do not like.

Unless deeply insecure people act like that.

Seriously, when was the last time you saw Soros or Buffet posting and bragging about their winning in Internet forums like ET?

Dude, you'd give both nuts to be able to show a $2MM gain figure. WTF does my psych-status have to do with it? Gains are gains. I know. Your dog ate your account summary.

Clown shoes.

The ONLY clown here is you.

So do you want folks to post their blotters/journals or not? Hehe.

I just answered your question, Overnight (see post above).

I would bet his net liq that tradex has never had a five-figure day. Nobody trades FX unless they're receiving flow (inst.) or a piker throwing their paycheck away at a bucket shop.

There is no asset class more appealing to the piker sub-class that FX.

Right, tell that to Soros who made 2 Billions dollars shorting the British pound.

lol right Soros Jr. Take us back to 1992 in your time machine.

4-5% vola in FX and we both know you're sitting on less than $20K.

Ahh, I see...

I am not sure if you are aware of this, but dest does that, the whole posting stops and targets. I do not think he is insecure.

Soros and Buffet are people slinging around billions of dollars in investments, not trading piker lots like the likes of you and I, so no, we would not see them on a forum like ET.

If you stick around long enough, I will be updating my own blotter/journal, where I will be showing a $14K loss on microlots. That is not bragging, it is the truth. If I MADE 14K on the micro lots, I would post to the journal in the same damned way.

People who post their blotters honestly will be revealing the truth, win, lose or draw.
