Do you attribute your various YM and CROX trades to this lofty quorum?Quote from marketsurfer:
you are a curmudgeon!
unlike you, i work with people far more skilled, knowledgeable, and talented than myself-- hence "we".

absolutely not. my personal trading has nothing to do with my work with the firm. we are traders of traders with unique niche edges, so to speak.

OK, but if you have such a resource of people "far more skilled, knowledgeable, and talented" than you, then why not simply do what they do if you are going to associate with them at all? Why engage in relatively sub-par trading on your own when you have such intellectual horsepower at your disposal?
P.S. As I recall, in your Surf Report journal thread, you often refer to "we" when discussing to trades you took. So, now I'm confused. Is this a different "we?"
they are not equity traders presently, nor do they trade any strategy that can be accessed by most independent traders--rather we search the globe for exploitable, proven edges in diverse markets offering substantial profit potential for the partners.

yes, its a different "we". there is a small group i discuss my trading with, hence "we". different than the firm's "we". what i do in the journal is as far removed from what i do with the firm as canada is from bulgaria.
sorry if being multifaceted confuses you. perhaps an MBA from a better school would have clarified this earlier. just joking!

Then how did you know which "we" I was referring to the first time?Quote from marketsurfer:

In future, you may wish to better identify these "we" references. Perhaps "we1" and "we2?"
once you start trading real money, you will understand that "win percentage" is dwarfed by "win magnitude". regardless, no one can beat your near perfect posted/claimed record anyway.
