When a man calls another out as a liar and he is proven completely incorrect do you:

1. Say ok, my bad, I realise what I said was factually incorrect.
2. Turn every somersault imaginable like a sulking four year old to never directly admit misjudging the situation.

I don't lie, I can be wrong/mistaken however I don't say things with intent to deceive. As an old fashioned guy it seems to me that a lot of the 'right' guys on ET just don't know what living a straight up life is.

In their mind "everyone is the same" i.e. everyone crawls to pay the rent. Well that is their choice.

I just don't care tbh.... It's the web, the animosity could be completely trollish so I never defend a position so petty ad naseum

Considering all the women the media is claiming Donald Trump is having sex with.

It's amazing that he has time to golf and tweet.

Going out of your way get involved & post only to express your apathy?

Kidding.

I am a fairly "intense" person and it works for me, see attachment. Ok, it is the internet however maintaining two personalities & sets of standards leads to fragility of spirit IMHO.

I have yet to see someone self-made succeed who was not OTT at times, even the calm ones are quietly smouldering inside. I first used the internet 27/28 years ago at my university. I have never really used forums in a chat format before trading but seeing what was going on in the world, I felt I should try and get a grip of this crazy trolls and Dunning-Kruger garbage.

There is some analogy between a successful trader's "trading plan" and the core ethical rules that bring success in life.

One "rule" for me is that we must protect objective reality and allowing guys slide on demonstrably false slights.. well it leads to broader acceptance of other lies.

That spreads and soon.. you have a Trump and despite great talents, you are not sure if time will pass and things will improve or this is really a crisis...

I used to scalp stocks for a living and met or spoke with some of the best traders around. I met or interviewed multiple market wizards.

I never heard of anyone making 200 trades in a few day period with that low a draw down and that high a win ratio.

How heck do you get a 90 percent win ratio trading futures form overseas.

I have trouble believing that ledger is true... but I don't know I wish to believe is possible.
How do you do it?

Tubby, this is more evidence that you are a compulsive liar.

Let him respond. people who daytrade or (or did) will know if what he says could be true or if its complete early jack hershey bullshit.

I however will not be able to see it as I started experimenting with an ignore list yesterday.
