Quote from MandelbrotSet:
LOL, I didn't realize you had issued one.
Oh, you mean the comment where you said that you've been trading futures since January of '08 or some such thing?
LOL, you're obviously kinda new and have been enjoying a run of luck ... no need to tell us that. This thead that you've started has provided more than enough information for us to be able to figure that much out.
But it does help IB and its representatives put your situation in context. If I were you'd I'd focus on trying to resolve your situation, because you're looking like an ass, and not only will IB not be compensating you, but nobody will be coming by to commsierate with you either ...
P.S. ROTFLMAO, you're issuing trading challenges while blowing your trading discipline, blowing your cool, blowing your stash, and insisting that everything is all Interactive Broker's fault.
Elite Trader, you just can't make this shit up.
this will be my last response to you- this is beyond pointless.
you're pretty fucking smug and i am quite sure you don't have a fraction of my experience. i have made a living solely from the markets since the 80's, sport. i have done so as an investor with some trading, managing OPM, private capital and with LEAPs position trading. i am weary of investing and have always wanted to trade. at this point, i want to be flat at the end of each day, except for long term positions, and not be tied to the market or subject to geopolitical events. i enjoy options but decided against and settled on futures. hence my start date trading futures.
the way you draw conclusions, i doubt you're a good trader. seems you enter every conversation with you biases and preconceived notions- seems like a recipe for disaster trading. that and internet courage spawned smug arrogance- smug 'i'm always right' arrogance goes so well with trading success.
