I've tried doing it in silence. It just doesn't work. I'll make $30K to $50K over the course of a week or two, only to gamble it all away in a single day. This is always the result of not sticking to my edge and not being disciplined at all.

I look forward to updating this thread every day and seeing more and more haters responding. I'm hoping this will help to keep me well disciplined and motivate me to be consistently profitable without flushing all of my profits down the toilet in one or two trades.

I'll encourage you then. How about letting us observe the trades in real time so we can help you? Hmm? Rather than a spreadsheet showing imaginary play money. It's obviously, b/c we're skeptical, but you assuming we believe insults everyone's intelligence on this board, and is very offensive to people that actually spend the money to fully verify their own track records.

Please try to actually issue trades, any stops, limits, market orders, trail stops, and anything else you think might improve your success rate.

You are trying to make $1m/27k=3600%, which already is not going to happen. Your only hope is to buy deep out the money calls or puts and hope the market moves 30% in your direction. Without that, there's no chance you're going to make this work. Even at highly leveraged bets, this feat would take me over 5 years to do, but risk losing 75% on any given three week period, which is unacceptable, and is for everyone on this board who cares about their money.

When I hit $500,000, I'm going to reward myself with a new Viper or Skyline GTR. When that happens, I'll be sure to post pictures of it in my driveway along with the printed out spreadsheet on the hood. :D


Can't wait to see the pictures, but if you do this, spending all that money will make it impossible for you to achieve your goal b/c you're losing 100k easily on the purchase when you drive it off the lot. Doubtful it will be your house, though.

An actual blotter would strengthen your case.

Already someone told you this, and, in case it didn't sink in b/c it wasn't quite so eloquently put, have a second read:

And I already responded to him. Again, I'm not here to prove anything, nor discuss my trading or edge.

As for the car, I always find good deals on cars and can usually break even or even make money on them, even after driving them for a year. I wouldn't be buying it brand new.

Quote from robbie380:

ok so i was bored while i was taking a dump and thinking about this thread. i was thinking about how the OP says he only paid around $5000 for 2700 trades. then he tells me later in the thread he traded 1.4 million shares on the day he made 114 trades. he also calls that day a "very light day". so for fun lets use that 114 trade day to extrapolate the number of shares he traded for the time period where he made 2700+ trades. we get a number around 33,000,000 shares traded.

lol so the OP is trying to tell us he was able to trade 33,000,000 shares for only $5000. 15 cents per 1000? rofl that is more insane than the 27k to 1 million in 9 months!

bump for retarded the thread starter

The spreadsheet represents 14 trading days which is 3 weeks (including one holiday), not 2 weeks. Still, I'm going to try to make the million as quickly as possible.

When I hit $500,000, I'm going to reward myself with a new Viper or Skyline GTR. When that happens, I'll be sure to post pictures of it in my driveway along with the printed out spreadsheet on the hood. :D

I wired out ~110K this week, but I still don't want to blow up and lose $50K to $100K in a single day like I've done way too many times over the last 2-3 years. So I'm going to continue sticking to my edge and make sure that I don't do any gambling or self-sabotage.

I can't believe this journal is actually working. I've tried all kinds of other methods but none of them ever worked. Please continue to motivate me guys!

let me post pics of mine

Today I had what I believe is my best trading day ever in my 7 year career. I made over $71,000.

It's worth mentioning that I made this money today with only a $115K account. I've been continually wiring out all of my profits on a daily basis, so the "End of Day Balance" figures you see do not represent my actual trading account equity.
 
Quote from miguel_s:

you know I really don't understand this scumbag bowlinsky's problem. He is always trolling around where someone tries to do something meaningful. First he polluted mine with his russian farting, and now he's spreading his niegativity here with all "it can't be done" "it would take me 5 yrs" etc etc.

Who gives a shit how long it would take you bowlinsky? let the guy do what he is doing how is it bothering you?

Again, the reason I will state this clown bowlinsky is doing it because
A. He is not making money. one sign is the amount of time spent on ET trolling. I rarely find time for thi crap because when I am not trading, I am looking at other things, or trying to better my trading. But if you look at the number of times he will post is just amazing.
b. Jealousy-I admit that i fall prey to this also. When I see something i don't yet have, I become jealous and hope the other guy loses that "speacial" thing. And for this my soul will rot in hell. The point I am trying to make is bowlinsky is probably jealous of your results. He said "he can't do it in 5 years". well obviously bowlisnky you havent seen the world. Coming from my background, I have seen many traders make tons of cash on days with good risk management.

Author, I don't know what you trade, but it is achievable. All you need is a good risk management system which you seem to have given your results.

ET is full of bowlinskys trying to spread negativity.

It really does say a lot that you would think I should believe him, or you for that matter. This kind of bullshit cannot be proven, so it's like talking to thin air about how rich you're going to be. The only proof he's shown is a spreadsheet. Without real time calls, this is all total crap.

Don't believe me?

If you don't believe me, I heard of this guy named Madoff that made 40% every year for like, 25 years. Ring a bell? It's quite naieve to take what he's saying at face value, b/c he's a liar, and you are, too, without us seeing the calls.

He's not discussed anything relevant to trading, including the most basic question, which is, what securities product is he using? It won't matter whether he answers this question b/c his only proof is worth about as much as downloading this spreadsheet to the internet and posting pictures of stuff he wishes he owned.

The main difference between a troll and an elite trader is that the elite trader has evidence of trading prowess, and that's why I'm rated so highly on collective2. The curve is not possible, and, you believing him makes you that much less credible.

I've given him an out, and I don't heckel for the fun of it. I'm offended by such stupidity of just posting p and l like it proves something.

Unlike this thread, I offer something substantial and verifiable. I'm finding a lot of people don't have $95 for six months on c2 these days.

Why do you want to see someone discuss their imaginary profits? Do you gain something?
