Quote from RCG Trader:
I shut this position at 89.76. Because another poster has stated that he will only put up numbers at the end of the month, henceforth, I will also only put up end of month blotters.
Quote from Maverick74:
How does that work? Without real time calls there is no way to audit this process. Do you know easy it is on Oanda to create 30 different $1 accounts and then report the highest performing account at the end of the month?
Maybe I missed some of the previous dialogue but who is this other poster? I thought this was your journal. Don't worry about what other people are posting. Just give us one month of real time calls. This way the calls can be evaluated, not the account which can be one of hundreds.
Quote from Max E. Pad:
Why do you think he refuses to show his daily pnl when he has already proclaimed to be "profitable every single day?"
Seems awfully odd when that is his claim and he only shows a blotter every 6-7 days, lol, I have a feeling he loses money every single day in between his blotter posts.

Quote from Maverick74:
Max you and I both trade. You and I both know the reality that this business is tough. It's actually a lot more then tough. I've been around thousands of traders. Some of them actually are pretty insanely talented. The fact of the matter is, you and I know that real traders don't talk like that. Kind of like the guy who claims to get laid every night usually never gets laid. Guys who make money at this know how hard it is. When Ron talks about how easy it all is and how he makes money everyday is a perfect example of someone trying to fit into an environment that he doesn't fit in to.
If I had to guess, this guy was waiting and waiting and waiting for what he thought would be the perfect setup where he could put on a trade and sit on it and make money then stop the journal and then claim all his trades are like that one. Unfortunately this one trade was a disaster and now that won't work. To be fair to Ron, I've never met a FX trader that makes money daytrading every night like he claims. He was simply making a preposterous claim. And no, I don't buy the over night nurse shift because he wants to give back to the community. Although there is nothing wrong with earning a day's labor doing a real job. I just always knew that he couldn't live off his FX winnings like he claimed.

Quote from atticus:
I don't think you'll make it to the end of the month. You lost 40% on that trade (25x implied).

Quote from RCG Trader:
I begin scaling out as price goes against me. I trade in set units. So on day one, I went in with 50%, day 2, added another 25%, day three took off 25%, day four another 25%, day five another 25% and finally closed it yesterday.
