How many points do you make!

Quote from kcgoogler:

Good idea gmst; but the worst part is even with the people who do respond with stats, you have no idea how much of that is truth. So ok, say someone says he makes 100points in ES monthly with very little drawdown. Say you accept a few such entries which are false; what happens to your average calculations and stats? garbage in - garbage out.

So good idea. but wont work - unless you can get people to show you their tax records for the past x years. Now that you are not going to get :)

So forget about others.. just do as best as you can :)

Alongwith reporting stats like mean, media etc. I would have simply reported all the results in terms of frequency distribution and bar charts. So, even if some results are not accurate, frequency distribution would have allowed folks to see where most of the traders are.

But it seems getting data is harder than what I thought :)

I will partially agree with you that profitable posters might not want to post. Thats why I said please PM if you don't want to give information on the open forum. But over the years ET has had some very profitable and consistent posters like acrary, wave, maverick, lescor, ericP, dustin, ammo, volente, handle123 - who are profitable and trade for a living.

I think reluctance to post could be also because it needs a little bit of work (maybe 5-10 minutes) before someone can get the data anad then post it.

I will try to advertise this thread for next few days and see if I can get a bit more data. Being an optimist that I am :)

So i am a lier or what.:mad:

Who cares about how much you make, this is all anonymous.

Fuck this. Forget about being honest in this forum, you will only be pushed bad around.

Fuck, i am just too different then all the other people here.


Who cares about anyhing anyways.
:D :D :D
 
I just closed a trade with 80pips profit in 10hours in one of the FX Majors.

This isnt so bad, is it?

Its already Friday and i want to make money today, at least 50pips.

So lets go.......Europe opens soon.....

:D :D :D

I am going to consider every post here as correct. No question of thinking any one is liar. So, relax! You are a great trader.
 
UPDATE: I have got 7 responses till now (both on forum and PM combined). My sincere thanks to everyone who took the time to go through their stats and respond!

Its been just 3 days since I started this thread, and folks must have been busy during the trading week. I am hopeful that I will get many more responses over the weekend, when people have sometime to dig out their stats.

Sincerely,

Nice.

I hope you get your 50 responds soon.

I really would like to see the statistic and where i am in the list.

I am sure there are better traders then me.

150pips in FX a week is not so special.

I am looking forward to your statistic.:)

Hi, I just managed to get 7 responses, and then I lost interest. I tried to advertise the thread, but didn't get many responses.

I would do a summary and post it here in a day or two.
 
Am i really supposed to be keeping track of this? I only ever paid attention to the dollars. Last year I made a whopping 42k from futures trading after commissions. +23k KC, +6k ES, +8k 6A, +7k 6s, +3k CL, +6k on CL options

-4k DX, -3k YG, -2QM, -2 zn

Wow this little exercise has already helped me. I spend 90% of my time trying to trade oil and probably make 2 bucks an hour doing it. Pretty sad :(

Also considering I quit a job that I could tolerate making 80k plus health insurance and free booze :confused:
