Quote from asiaprop:

does it matter? Why do you care? Being in the market, you trade at any given time against a host of different humans and machines. It all comes down to your own trading with edge, this trade had zero edge, thus it was at any time during the holding period a bad trade, so simple. If you worked out an edge you would not have to wonder how others do and how good or bad they are. I chimed in because I want to warn newbies to follow any advise given re this trade other than that it was a stupid trade. If you read any of my past posts you find that I try to give back a little by flagging bs so beginners who want to put in the work and effort have some minimum guidance.

Hi ap,

Once again, very profound and thought provoking.

I have a friend who is an Orchardist and I shall pass on your pearly words of wisdom to him.

On the internet it's hard to figure out who the real deal are from the idiots. Sometimes, idiots can make [vague] profound thoughts every once in a while.

As a rule of thumb: The more frequent someone post on ET, the higher the chance he is one of the losers. Assume 95% of posers are losers until proven wrong.

you would make a horrible correlation trader ;-)

Oddly enough I was just thinking the same thing.

Quote from asiaprop:

you are an idiot, sorry to be so direct, you still dont get it that it is not important whether he demo traded or not, I always prefer a demo trade off the back of a good idea and a smart approach rather than this trade, purely on the basis of a 50/50 chance, even worse yet, the risk was clearly stacked against him.

Considering the source (village idiot), I'll take it as a compliment. Of course it matters that it's demo; the title itself is self-deprecating. The trade was fubar before he posted this thread. So what does that tell you?

Suppose the trade had been a "good risk"; what would you learn about the underlying methodology? Nothing.

You're a 5'4" emasculated asian dude that couldn't hack in at a 3rd tier bank. I suppose if I were a small-stature failure that I'd have a massive chip on my shoulder as well. Chin up, brother.

Do tell, how were the odds stacked against him? Do you have any clue how to calculate expectancy?

you are wrong on almost every front but thanks for the try ;-)

Well what I meant was there's a lot of posers giving mediocre advice on ET. How I know are the pics from the "Show your trading screen" thread tells me more then enough about the majority on this thread.
