Yes. In fact they should audit their statements so you know they aren't lying. It's annoying that Atticus doesn't give you all his trading secrets. It's frankly not fair!

Ha! Ha! guys. Guess that didn´t come out the right way? 
Actually I was summing up my two year foray and trying to isolate the ideas and methods that worked. Sorry if I offended you. I´m getting quite a bit of private emails from newbies that are more positive. It is hard to seperate the chaff from the wheat by hand, so to speak.
Certainly nobody owes me anything. I guess we have different outlooks and approaches? I can´t see people on here swapping knowledge and experiences, as changing the market action. It seems to be a lot bigger than the few people on elite trader. I´m not at all sure what people call their secrets, are worth keeping secret, in the macro picture of trading. At least in the churning type of trading that seems to dominate on here.
Interestingly enough, the big players I know ( not on here ) don´t seem to trade at all like we talk about on here. Sort of makes you wonder?
I´ve made some good friends on here. People I respect. I kind of like and would like to keep in contact with them. Right now, my own course of action for the next year is sort of up in the air. Sort of hobby sort of thing.

why the f&*k should anyone be asked to show their balances to an anonymous internet handle, for all I know you could be posting from jail.
Get your head out of your ass, some of us take trading seriously. I returned 6,300% on an option trade does that make me a genius or psychic, that kind of thinking pisses me off.
I have a great idea from Falcon what it must be like to be a parent, he makes me mad, happy, apathetic, proud, ashamed, etc all in one day. I mean we have all tried to keep him from falling in the ditch. Just when I think he is starting to get it he posts something like that........maybe his brain is ABBY normal...LOL

Walk this way!
I thought it was helpful to show the actual blotter of the trades I've posted here. In addition, all fill-prices were shown in the position column on TWS to prove the trade had been made at that price. Down to the penny (fill price + comms per contract). No paper-trader nonsense. I apologize that all of the flies, calendars and condors were profitable. The $1.00 AAPL fly went to 2.20 in 4 days. Which is more insulting; the inference that they weren't profitable or that I didn't quote a net liq figure instead of a blotter pic?
Honestly, I post the stuff I don't mind being made public; the pure-vol or delta bets. I don't post replication trades at all, and of course it would be a monumental waste of time to do so.
If you think that, "I bought XYZ at 40 and my balance it $xx,xxx" is indicative or transparent, you're nuts, certifiable.
So done with this thread. Buh bye.

Lets say Paul Tudor Jones allowed you into his trading room for $59.95 per month, he buys es at 1302 with a 10 dollar stop. Half the people in the room
wouldn't take the signal, probably another quarter would flub the stop. Out of 100 guys I would guess 2 or 3 would execute the trade correctly. Those two will likely end up trading on their own prop or managing $$. This is why I brought up independent events which disappeared,get correlation and or/causation wrong in the real trading world and you are going to get smacked.

Reminds me of the scene in the young frankenstein with gene wilder where he asks his assistant for the name of the dead body and he replies "oh it was Mr Normal... something.... Mr. A.B. Normal"
