Oh it's absolutely related, specifically the part that talks about misdirection (I think it's that thread).
As I said on the previous page (or a previous page, depending on how many posts you have per page in the forum settings), there are easy ways to prove that a trading system works. Avoiding specific questions is not one of those ways.
I know if I was trying to sell a system, or trying to prove that I was a a profitable trader, I would be posting screen shots and call live trades, etc.
When someone asked a question about my system I certainly wouldn't redirect, or insult them, or shrug it off as a joke or say it's unimportant. But then again, I'm not a mystical Yoda who only speaks in riddles where the masses just don't get what I'm saying the first time I say it because it's super evolved guru speak. You see, that's what scammy internet (and real life) vendors do. People who are legit give straightforward answers because they have nothing to hide.
The thought of "oh shit, I hope the conversation doesn't go in this direction" never occurs to legit people, so there's no reason to ignore questions, or disregard anything, or shrug something off, etc.
But then again, I'm sure everyone in this thread already knows all of this...
... if not, I have this awesome profitable system I would love to sell you, but I can only post after-the-fact charts and don't bother asking me any questions because the rules are SO complex that you have to be a genius (like me) to understand. Oh and if you can't make it work, it's because you're dumb, not because my system doesn't work: you just need to study it harder. Oh and if you question it, I'll just insult you or redirect the discussion so the topic of my system not possibly being profitable never comes up and I never lose my "credibility."
