You have gathered a few followers here it seems, Why not just start your own journal now? Please stop posting here. thank you, surf

I don't see what exactly I could contribute which would deserve a whole thread. Used to have a journal back in 2008 it had over million views if I remember right.

Obviously, many here are enamered with trading fantasy rather than reality-- what changed between now and 2008 with your million hits? Once again, please stop posting on my journal. You are not welcomed here. surf

With all respect, quite a few people openly said they are fine with me posting here.

Why exactly don't you want me to participate? More posts means more traffic to your journal.

I also try to stick to reality only, never a fantasy.

You do not own the journal Surf. Every thread on ET is for the benefit of every member, not just for ego boost of OP. If people or moderators decide I post off-topic they will say so I believe. So far you're the only person who dislikes my posts here.

Edit: sorry, post which this one was reply to is deleted.

My view may be that of a minority of one, but I tend to see journals and threads as slightly different.

Threads are for everyone, but a journal is a little more personal. It is after all the journal of the person who started it. I tend to be a little more circumspect posting in someone's journal, and whilst I wouldn't hesitate to disagree with the diarist, I would certainly refrain from beating the point to death as is happening here.

Now three months down the road Surf might proudly point out that he has 100,000 views or some such, and 20,000 might have come from this particular issue so we might all be laughing about it in future.

I repeatedly suggested and still suggest logical compromise:

let's stick to trading related discussion and forget all personal attacks.

P. S. No blotters anymore because I was asked by authorities to not post them here and I respect ET rules.

No, you are absolutely correct. His behavior is particullarly eggregious that when asked to stop posting on my journal he continues with the same old thing and even posts some kind of micro account statements to "prove" a point. I have no question that the person is a stealth vendor drawn here with the rest of the Forex dreamers ( who quickly become trouble makers) due to the forex content on this site. He is quietly attempting to harvest surf report readers for his own business, chat room, or even et thread to then moneterize them at some point in the future. Just like his friend TAXspert, who was banned for stealth vending, it took the mods a long time to catch on. Just like is happening here. They will eventually "get it" but by that time, the guy will have already harvested enough names so that paying for marketing will not be needed. Otherwise he wouldnt feel the need to poach my journal. WAKE UP mods, this is classic stealth vendor action-- he even had me fooled for awhile. surf

No compromise with stealth vendors on the surf report. SO let's end this right now:

Do you or do you not provide "services" to traders and wannabe traders? Chat rooms, books, guidance??

No I don't. Never did and don't plan to. Neither I run any public chat rooms, nor I sell advices, signals, books etc. Nothing that can be called "vending".

I sincerely suggest you peace, Surf. I always was among people who were sorry about your troubles and losses and happy for your profits. No idea why you got anything against me now, when we just had a trading related argument.

Truth is , you are itnterested in gaining a following, thats why you post and make claims on the surf report. If not, leave the surf report an start your own journals or whatever? Don't try to harvest surf report readers.

Man, so all that about being a trading author, having a chat room and counseling traders was just made up? I really don't care, my main issue is your telling my readers that consistent 20% performance is poor performance for a day trader-- and that its a waste of time to earn 20k day trading-- While the truth is, most lose and earning 20% consistently is a huge accomplishment. Your claims place you squarely in the dreamer/stealth vendor, deluded after having a winning streak category--- I don't want that on the surf report. As I said before, please dont' post on the surf report surf

Your estimate was a tad optimistic:
