Trading Challenge Phoenix vs RCG nov 2012

Quote from RCG Trader:

Yeah, this prediction about as good as all the others you have made 377. Keep it up, you're doing fine.:D

Never made any predictions regarding politics, religion or any other related matters except, of course, predicting that you would not compete fairly or would not compete at all but that is no difficult thing to surmise.

I saw you say something similar to Tsing Tao who also never made any predictions that you can cite.

You're exhibiting the same chickenshit lack of courage that allowed folks to be rounded up, enslaved and transported so meekly hundreds of years ago. A certain infirmity between the ears, an aversion to perceived personal risk, a veneer of inflated sense of self-worth, unjustified certitude and irrational claims that conceal a wounded psyche that cannot put anything on the line because it does not believe itself worthy or capable.

I really don't see what you have to lose by competing as you've certainly got no reputation here that requires protection. You've shown yourself to be a bit of a welsher and only a complete lack of shame or self-delusional slight of hand allows you to continue to post here.

Range controlled geometry? Please.

Someone should start a poll here and determine who, outside of a few servile flatterers, believes anything you post in the "Journals" forum. You are a damned liar.

Funny, he accused me too of having made all sorts of election predictions. I can't tell how many times I conceded Obama would probably win or that it was simply too close to call.

Range controlled geometry? Please.

I honestly LOL when I first saw that.

It does fit his MO though. A desperate need to impress those around him.
 
Quote from Lucrum:

I just noticed RCG has already had a post removed from his "journal".

The poor guy made the mistake of pointing out that RCG's claimed "first day of trading analysis" begins on a Saturday. When the markets are closed.

How discourteous and unprofessional to point out that it is Saturday.

Posts there must be relevant to the markets and activities relating to actually trying to make money.

:p

This is exactly why I insisted on a TST combine instead of an ET journal. I've been watching this for years. The mod there apparently cares only about a perception of civility. Everything else, including the truth and reality, be damned.

Quote from PHOENIX TRADING:

1) That's your hallucination not mine.

2) Right and everybody is going to laugh at you for trying to pretend buying a $100 lottery ticket is the same thing as trading skill and it shows a tremendous lack of confidence.
Unless of course $100 IS the BULK of your net worth.

3) How long do you plan the contest to run?



Sorry but percent gain /loss is the only REAL metric with meaning.

rcg reply:
I should have put enuf distance between you and I in a months time that it would be moot to continue.

Okie dokie, percent gain it is.

Well I do have to give you credit rcg for recognizing the longer the challenge the less likely you are to win.

Exactly. Not that I can verify it, but there were numerous reports of post-facto "editting" of positions in blowhard's journal over there.
 
Quote from RCG Trader:

Your goal has been to prevent failure by your fellow confederate. He is going to blow up in the combine, and you are going to be blown out of this journal. Perfect way to end what has shaped up to be a great year!

AS i've stated before my only goal is to get you to step up.

As far a s trading is concerned I'm okay with letting the chips fall where they may.

going to blow me away all in 1 month eh?
 
I think i've been more than candid about my results and their disappoint ment.


synopsis to taking 1million to zero

first few posts detailed where i had a 50% drawdown because I refused to see where i was wrong about the effects of political intevention . (I had previously positioned myself heavily for a european banking crisis that did not materialize )


change in strategy was a success and net positive.

Work obligations made me miss entries I wanted to continue.
I have a strict " no chasing the market rule"
Although this year following this rule has made me miss out on HUGE gains, I'll just have to suck it up because IMHO I'm in it for the long haul and arbitrarily violating your discipline is the short cut to failure.

umm I still have not seen you post your starting equity amount.

Honestly your bluster above is in complete contradiction to your lack of follow through.
