You don't even know what you're trading. You last reply to me shows a 2-lot MNQ position. Don't preach to me about posting runs. You have nothing to prove. lol.

You're both showing MNQ charts/executions. I didn't see your fucking name on it. My bad.

As small as it is, I respect that it's real.

>90% of ES Journal "trades" don't hit the tape. It's probably >95%. It's been suggested and I would absolutely support a sub-forum where PNL was uploaded daily and vetted. There would be one or two contributors.

upped boil to 1k size.. thx dest #respect yeah for 20 years its been a big fkg disconnect that theres talkers and posers but few that post real trades w pnl

dest you inspired me to suggest this outstanding idea:

BARON -- CAN YOU CONSIDER ADDING 'VERIFIED REAL TRADER' blue icon (like other social media sites do), for people that prove they really trade??? PLEASE. eg criteria they have to trade live money account, can send you copy of redacted recent 1099 and/or at least screencap of live account

eg next to nick we see something like

verified real money trader

there would be like 15 of us lol who qualify, serious suggestion

Well Dest showed me that that all trade postings are to be treated as demo unless proven otherwise. Moving on..

lol I posted by biggest runs in real-time, with time stamps, share/index prices, and my fcking account number and I still take shit for it bc the numbers were stupid big. If we held ppl to the standard of having skin in the game, or simply not scamming, this place wouldn't exist.

This is actually an idea I can get behind. Seems like it might be a bit more work than management would want to get involved with though. (All the back-and-forth with paperwork, etc).

good point, wish it were a concern, but imho theres less than 100 real traders here, if that : p

+1 re dest's comments, 100% agree

It's going to have to be automated like one of those portfolio-trackers. Nobody is going to go through the machinations of providing 1099s (which can easily be faked).
