Good catch!
You left out a few tells:
-- more like than posts. Xela had the uncanny ability to regurgitate trading platitudes in a way that resonated with the ET illiterati.
-- dyslexia -- "E6," "HTF" ...

Well, while I do have his full name and we spoke together in length, I never saw his broker account, but I honestly have zero reason to not believe him. He was a retail trader, yes, but he had at least 6 years of experience prior to this run.
What is it that you find so hard to believe?
@hilmy83 who just posted in this thread took something like 5-10K to 100K in a few months. Very much possible in futures if you're trading aggressively. Of course, the hard part is keeping it.
That was his first year of trading as he explained how he started out. When we were talking his average clip size was 30 contracts on ES and his maximum was at 50. So, I gather he was doing okay.
Meaning?
@destriero, ridiculing a person who tragically PASSED AWAY and you NEVER even met, just shows how pathetically insecure and self-absorbed you are.
The combination of your oversized ego, high sense of entitlement, obsession with domineeringness, and lack of emotional intelligence, does NOT inspire me to have an ongoing replying “ping-pong” with you.
I wish you all the best.
Message to the other forum members:
Some of you might have already noticed that @destriero has a habit of constantly picking up fights with other forum members, swearing at them, and when they (or me) give him a drink of his own medicine, he doesn’t seem to like it.
He might be good at option Greeks, but unfortunately that’s where his trading knowledge more less ends. Because this forum is dominated by non-option traders, it allows him to be a big fish in a small (options) pond. That’s all there is to it.
Some of the better traders on this forum with whom he previously picked up fights were able to see through his fake persona, and proved that he’s simply an emperor with no clothes when it comes to general trading skills (apart from options).
What fools other forum members is the cognitive bias called the “halo effect” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_effect
When someone takes him outside of his extremely very narrow skillset (in options), he then falls apart with the disconsolate face of a gym rat in front of a gangster hit man.
He claims to be the “expert on everything”, ridicules people and then he discloses that he even wasn’t familiar with what I was describing. Go figure.
For those of you who do not know what “trading HTFs” means, it has nothing to do with HFT (High Frequency Trading), it stands for:
HTF == Higher Time Frame
LTF == Lower Time Frame
VLTF == Very Low Time Frame
EU == EUR/USD
UJ == USD/JPY
He also doesn’t know what trading order flow and supply/demand is. It would be OK, nobody knows everything, (I certainly don’t know many things when it comes to option Greeks), but unlike him, me and others don’t start ridiculing others just because certain things are outside of the circle of our competency, or something we’ve never even heard of. If one is not aware of something, it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exists.
Unfortunately, his grandiosity (overcompensation for hidden insecurity) and unresolved childhood issues get in the way and so he starts bullying others and goes as far as ridiculing the tragic passing of my fellow friend trader whom he never ever met or heard of.
Putting trading aside, what is disturbing is his constant bulling of other forum members. His relentless grandiosity, boastful pretension, dismissiveness and devaluation of other’s achievements, his need for domination and low empathy are all character traits of narcissistic bullies, something that other forum members have already noticed.
I do wish (@destriero) all the best, and I hope that one day he will be able to realise that one can attract more bees with honey than with vinegar. That way he might get some genuine respect from other forum members.
@Xela, I will not mourn your fictional mentor.
You always follow the same pattern. Mindless generalities and then when you’re confronted you go with a sympathy ploy (disability).
HTF is not an acronym in use in capital markets. So you add duration to your silly candlesticks and all is revealed!
There is no utility in FX volume. There is no “order flow” data in bucket shop FX and your fantasy mentor didn’t have access to the sell side.
Wait,thats Des's dog???? I was expecting a canine with a bigger bite
You’re far more clueless than I originally thought.
Firstly, I’m not some @Xela, I’m not even a Brit and my English is not my first language in case you haven’t noticed.
Secondly, I never mentioned candlesticks in my post, yet you come up with your delusionary connections.
Ditto for volume, I did not mention volume in my post, and yet you intentionally totally twist and misquote the content of my posts (and other people's posts in other threads) in your childish desperation trying to make connections where there are no connections, it’s just your delusions.
Also, FYI, trading order flow means being able to read from charts where clusters of orders are most likely to be stacked, something that you’re not able to do, and are not even aware that it is possible. I can guarantee you that you won't be able to find it anything on this topic on the Internet.
Regarding trading supply and demand, next time you can Google “trading supply and demand” to familiarise yourself with the basics before you embarrassed yourself in front of everyone with your pathetic, confusing and clueless posts.
Like I said before, your posts are just further confirming that you’re a totally clueless once taken outside of your very narrow and limited trading knowledge.
Thank you for entertaining us
