the best trader on ET is the trader that can back that up with live trades. otherwise its' all fluff.

True.
So my vote would be for Apex82 and Saliva. Both going back a good few years when people proved their metal in the ES journal. Nothing since then.

Problem is that people here seem to define the 'best' traders as those with high win rates.

Me and you are about the only traders here who post live calls, so maybe we win by default, since we're all just guessing about everyone else

Haha...tbh, there's a thread in the Chit chat section called 'i have had enough of marketsurfer' which rather strangely has some traders posting live calls on the euro...

There should a forum thread for verified account performance. How exactly your acct will be verified ...i don't know...maybe submitting your record(s) to the admins...? I'm not sure how the logistics of that process will work.

It would be nice to see who's really walking the walk; and/or just talking the talk.

I get the feeling the answer would be depressing as hell! lol
I'd back Schizo on this site, but that'd be it

The question is, why would a very profitable trader want extra eyes to study their performance. It would end up with newbies and vendors.
I generally like the idea though.

I personally wouldn't like to reveal my specific trades/strategy -- but just my account performance; my % return.

I've done that before, it leads nowhere because next up will be "show us your trades", "how do we know it's not fake" and the utterly stupid "make some live calls to prove it". It never ends.
