What a rare skill. Using your logic all blotters can be called into question. Anyone who owns a computer (or a library card) can fake one. Now why you chose to believe some and not others only shows a personal bias.
And again - who cares? Is she stealing money from you or anyone else?
Don't care. I'm sure you're the greatest trader on the planet.
No, but it's fraud nonetheless. The only legit blotters she has posted are 4-5Y old and massive losses. 10-20% of her account in a day. She states that it's "rare" for her to have a losing day. Do you think a fraud like that would deny a "2 and 20" LPOA account? Fcuk no, she'd jump at the chance.
The only one on this thread being defrauded (today) is you by taking DBP's loser SLA trade in NQ.
I've taken two jobs at HFs as a result of contacts made on ET. One ended down 2%. The following year the fund couldn't pay individual PMs their kill. The other ended a three year PM gig with a 84% cum-gain at a PF of 6x. And yeah, I've got the docs to prove it. So don't pontificate that it's all for fun. You clowns would take cyanide if it made you profitable.
You have 100 posts to this thread and you "don't care". You conveniently don't care because I would require access after you've viewed mine.
Contrary to what you'd like to believe, my posts are not all about you. In fact, I wouldn't even think about you if you were to get off my back. But if you choose to stay there, you'll just have to hang on for the ride.
Because this is a trading forum and people want to know if these big talkers can really trade. Or if they are just trolling for suckers with hindsight ideas that produce either losses or tiny marginal profits in real time trading.
I think some of you guys are so hooked on the idea of making money day trading that you'll believe absolutely anything that is fed to you.
I like to do the olympic lifts (snatch and clean and jerk). In my gym we have an Olympic hopeful who puts up huge numbers. Guess what - his coach can't lift anywhere close to the weight he puts up. He is a little guy that has had no real success as a lifter. He injured himself a while back and can't really lift anymore.
Should this guy stop listening to his coach? Should he say put up numbers like me or shut up? Should the Olympic hopeful tell everyone new to the gym to not listen to the coach?
Well the Olympic hopeful has only had one coach. This same little guy whose numbers aren't impressive. The lifter started as a beginner, the coach gave him a methodology to use , the lifter worked his butt off and applied the methodology and has had success.
You can evaluate a methodology independent of the coach just like the lifter. Just like the lifter your numbers start heading in the right direction or they don't. Everything else is superfluous.

any piker like DrownPruf who uses the word "bro" has to be a twenty something shit-head that thinks he's going to be the next David Tepper.
more than likely trading is a frustrating exercise for him and he sees it as the hardest thing he's ever done. when he sees other traders who've been at it for years on forums simplifying trading for what it really is, a simple exercise ONCE A TRADER DEVELOPS THE TRADER'S MINDSET, then his clogged confused mind cannot believe it.
DrownPruf, here's a free piece of advice for you to put you on the right path: Read Mark Douglas' The Disciplined Trader and more importantly Trading in the Zone a few times and then trade with what you've learned, you'll see the market in a new light, and you'll come back to ET enlightened to share your knowledge and most traders who haven't the foggiest idea about how the market really works will give you a hard time.
