You, shut up immediately.
This is a disgusting attitude.
Do not ever condemn someone with the skill and passion to take this beyond a money making exercise and pursue excellence. I do not know NYSETrader and we have never corresponded. I do know two things: I have worked hard for many years to understand how the market operates, and the result is being able to choose trades with a very high probability of success. Second...I can recognise from where NYSETrader has posted trades (date and time of execution) in both the eminis and the energy futures that he understands the intent of the market, which is decided in advance of the price action unfolding, and he has unerringly placed trades in what I would consider the correct conditions based on how I understand the market to work.
It is not my place to provide commentary on the trading decisions of others. However, for those few who have worked tirelessly for a dozen hours a day over several years to understand how all of this works...it is immediately obvious who has done this work and earned the right to success. You reveal yourself as a bitter person who cannot allow others the fruits of their own success due to envy and resentment. If you set these arbitrary limits on others you set them also for yourself and will never progress beyond mediocrity.
That is fine - not everyone is fit for this profession and many would be scared out of their minds by what it is possible to achieve, and prefer to spend their lives abdicating responsiblity for their decisions and the ultimate consequences. If you choose to believe that the markets cannot be predicted, that consistent success is impossible, and that anyone who demonstrates such proficiency is a liar and a fraud ... you are free to choose your own beliefs.
What is not acceptable is to impose this view on others and publicly slander those who have worked to achieve, hard work that you can not understand as you have been too cowardly to look inside yourself, decide your own objectives, and work tirelessly towards achieving your goals despite all odds.
I am sorry to say that your attitude is extremely destructive. You ought to examine your posture, remove your ego, and try to improve yourself. You may benefit, as will others you interact with. A trader who has earned the right to the results NYSE posts does not need the backslaps, but is posting because it creates value for others. What do you create, and what entitles you to defame those who have worked harder and achieved more, not only in this field, but with their knowledge of self and conduct towards others?
A disgusting attitude indeed. You ought to apologise immediately and concede that you had no basis for your accusation. I do not expect that your ego will let you do this, but I try as much as possible to give others the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to correct their behaviour.
