Come now Joe, you're winding them all up intentionally.
The charts. Nothing to do with your process for making trading decisions. But because most are chart lookers they're putting weight on the fact you've displayed some moving averages, and using that to try and guess at whether you are any good. Amusing. And they have to care about your results because its an endless search to believe in anything external to themselves.
Multiple entries. Your GBP/CAD position towards a high, which retraced and you added more. Again, because they only have the chart and no concept of where/why successful traders take positions...they think you must be some crazy gambler because you "add to a loser" and don't fold when there is (temporary) adverse movement.
This crude chart. With what you've written one is a little surprised you didn't have this move as part of the plan for Friday. For all we know you were positioned for it and liquidating open longs during the "scaffolding" but are just messing with folks. If (and more likely) you were initiating, you must be aware that its going to create a lot of scoffing because you're holding "a loser" and "averaging down". They don't recognise the strategy and the reasons. All they have is recent prices to base decisions - no reason, no logic.
Knowing what is obvious about most amateur traders, if you were purposely trying to wind folks up this is the approach you'd take. Brightens up an otherwise dull ET of course. It is obvious at least that you cut your own path. Always interesting to observe. Of course those of us who aren't looking for a guru to follow aren't invested and can't be hurt. The others distrust and despise you but will read your content and believe they are owed something. Yet fear being scammed. Very amusing. Self knowledge and self control first and last.
I'm making no claims for myself about what I do or don't see. But I'll respond to your comment about thinking its mythical. There are some known public examples (Paul Rotter in the German bonds, John Arnold in natural gas, etc) where a trader with a thorough grasp on some of the concepts you allude to has gone on to take 9 figures out of a futures market. There are also many private examples. Folks who aren't on any rich lists.
If that is the mission then surely the ET clowns are a distraction. And the way you communicate probably won't help you get enough of an audience to give beginners an idea of what is possible in this environment as your "reputation" here is already maligned. Its a funny world. Continued success to you.
