There are reasons why you don't read on forums about people making money:I have never seen winning traders on forums who demonstrated any consistent ability to trade and win. I reckon the failure rate is closer to 99% if not higher.

I am not interested reading about people making money. I am interested on seeing people making money. How hard can it be ? Just call it a buy or sell. But not one dares - actually there is one who dare, me.
Probably you are new to this business, that's why you do not understand what I wrote. I will try to explain it in very simple words that even a child would understand: people making money don't show they make money. So you cannot see them. Only people who have problems with their ego need to post that they make a lot of money, although they don't make any money at all.
If you want to see people making money, google : Carl Icahn, Richard Dennis, George Soros, Marc Rich (what's in a name)....
Print their photo and put it above your bed and in your office. Now you can always see people who make money without having to come on ET. Of course we will miss your talents, but at least you will be happy.
OK then I will not post trades any more. That will be irrefutable proof I am making money.
Since I have not shown anyone I can play tennis, does that prove I am a tennis pro ?
probably you are new to this business and don't understand that when you finally do make money your ego is about destroyed. That's why those of us that make money are so selfless.Probably you are new to this business, that's why you do not understand what I wrote.

Rich traders don't post
I am not new to this business. I never get locked limit down for 3 days like you. People who post more than 1000 posts in 6 months are still in the first step of the learning curve of trading, but that you will understand later when you are longer in this business (if you will survive it).probably you are new to this business and don't understand that when you finally do make money your ego is about destroyed.

well, when you are locked limit down, and can't stand the thought of going home to face your wife, and back in those days things are very safe, and the Catholic Chapel is open 24/7, and you are Jewish, and you walk from the bar to the chapel and the only other guy sitting there praying is a cattle trader from Iran. So there are two cattle traders, both locked limit down. One Jewish, one Moslem, both a little drunk, praying in the Catholic Cathedral, trying to find god, cause Lord knows we are going to need him if it doesn't break tomorrow.I am not new to this business.

Trading and making money was never related to my ego. I don't care about my ego, ego does not pay my bills, trading does. The way I live is more important than may ego. And after more than 10 years on ET I know that this is not the place to boost my ego.
Why should I be selfless? When I wanted to share, I only got negative reactions. And why should I give away for free things that costed me years of energy,research and money?
