Quote from Wayne Gibbous:

You do realize that at least one of those has recently blown out their account, don't you?


Now this is true:

i did not know that. is it a big secret or can you tell?

I think he means Nitro.

What happened to Nononsense? Does anyone know?

really? i can hardly believe this. i would think he is the
kind of guy that flattens out, but does not have to leave
the table. though my feeling with nitro was for a year or
so that he seemed less confident. and right, nosense
was always topnotch.

btw in my original list was spike500 and i am not sure
he is really mechanic. ... actually the same accounts for
acrary; alan had the systems in place but if i recall
correctly
he traded against them ...

Quote from Bitstream:

on pure bot-trading: if not mistaken one of his acct only is on auto yet judging by the numbers corey too ought to be pretty good.

Really, I am just another amateur stumbling around in the dark who seems to have the semblance of know-how only because he has a background in Computer Science. Other than that, I am clueless!

Do we all agree that Corey is the best systematic trader in ET?

Quote from man:

i guess one senses how serious people are, even without seeing
a statement. in my opinion autotraders are never "loud", it is not
the kind of character that moves into automisation ... so whenever
somebody gets noisy, either his pnl does or he is not autotrader
in the first place ...

They weren't bragging nor being loud.

They only showed their statements because it was in the same image as the software they were running their mechanical program involving a conversation about the mechanical system (not a conversation about their profits).

Simply, they weren't talking about how much money they were making...they were talking about their mechanical system and you can see the trade execution platform, profit/loss screen, realtime charts and everything else in the images.

However, I do understand what you are talking about because I see many at ET yelling how much money they make.

"Blowing out your account" is neither an inevitable part of the learning curve, not is it a right of passage.

It's understandable when experience is short and the money is small, but once a trader gets up to significant size blowing out means some important lesson has not yet been learned.

Strongly Agree.

additional comment: a mechanic trader is usually not
takin' too big risk at any one time. i think the most
important lesson i kept from the early reads you do
when entering the game was: stay at the fuc*ing table.
