$250.00 to $40,000.00 in 6 weeks!

[tech/a]

And seriously, why all the hate? I'm just stating what I've made which are pretty good results are they not? Does my narcissistic personality really justify graphical evidence to prove how low my skill is and how much or a terrible trader I am? How about the $X that I've given to charity that I've never been able to do before.

Thank you for those with genuine suggestions, to the rest of you jealous idiots - get a life!

To me it's the "Tollbridge Investment Services"
Who in a professional capacity would publicly
Post such rubbish. Content from mums $250
Loan to losing $15.000
Lying and publicly admitting it.

Then taking on everyone with I'll prove it --- I'll prove it.
( predictably no proof )

Personally I don't suffer fools at all.
Why would I give my time to humor you!
Your content has no value to anyone including
Yourself.

Many in the wanna be financial services industry are
Trying to become as wealthy as their clients.
For the life of me I can't understand why a successful
Person would seek out a financial planner then allow
Them to control their investments.

I'm afraid financial qualifications don't impress me.
Those who are successful take care of themselves.
Quietly---don't have to tell anyone---they can see it.
When and if you get a life you'll lose the narcissism.

This was funny for a while, but seriously you need help mate. Your emotions are all over the place...not suited to trading.

Links are here on the threads, brings back memories

LOL ... thanks for those Links sQ ...... I have just spent the last 45 minutes reminiscing ...... ASF without Nunthewiser, Trembling Hand and Cartman is not quite the same .......

I hope Ivant is doing ok ..... Unbelievable to let half a million slip out of your grasp, but, ...., I have no answer ....

Maybe we should all take a breath and let tollbridge lick his wounds. He has done well at the casino. Let's leave it at that for now shall we? History repeating itself over again.

ASF is home to a few extremely successful professional traders and many successful investor/retail traders. It has been very interesting watching the group interact with TollBridge.

Still, i cannot help but think there is yet to be a sales pitch forthcoming...

Godspeed Tollbridge if you have the courage to finally present that!

Nah, he is fishing. The sales pitch will come when his prey take enough interest to pm him.

Haha.. same here.

Hey guys,

As i said im pretty bearish at the moment still. In actual fact I am more than ever. Just concentrating on the points. My entries are not that bad, im around the 3780, and i have 120 minis in now. Whether i am right or wrong only time will tell, but it really feels like im still against the crowd.

That's $600 per tick but I couldn't find which level he held to... from memory it was over 3-400 points but I could be wrong.

Hi critics (I`m one of them)

How often do posts like these pop up? In the short 6 or so months that I have been a member, I have witness maybe???? 6? s like this one. This one is the classic. Even as a beginner, I was laughing my head off at some of the comments.

Should I feel guilty about wasting my time reading this post because there are more educational posts that I really need to read. I should be focusing on posts that educate me. Somehow I got side tracked by the post title and enjoyed the comments. Did I waste my time reading and (heaven forbid) posted on this thread when I should be reading more? Is light entertainment allowed?

Edited:
Thank you SkyQuake for Post 77. I love that diagram. I guess even in post like these, someone has something very valuable, if not for the original poster, at least for someone else

Tollbridge, Aussie Stock Forums has been around for more than 10 years. Some members who still frequent the website today have been around just as long. In that time, we have witnessed many people start very similar threads to this one. Some have been spammers, some have been attention seekers, and others... well, I still can't work out why some started their threads.

If you had a serious trading system to present, complete with backtested results, I think the response to this thread would have been very different. However, by your own admission, you managed to turn $250 into $40,000, assuming that your claims are accurate, via a process of gambling on binary options, not trading.

So is the cynical and skeptical response to your thread really that unexpected? Or unreasonable?

If you did manage to turn $250 into $40,000 then you are very lucky and you do deserve a pat on the back for that. But long term, "trading" binary options is no different to standing at a roulette table and betting on red or black, and I think that is something that really needs to be pointed out to those who may be naive enough to think that it is some kind of short cut to Easy Street.

Can an ASF member - even the greenest noob - really be that unintelligently gullible?
Can any sane person really believe they can learn from someone like the OP? Someone who had to borrow $250 from Mum and then claims to have found the Holy Grail within weeks?

The mind boggles...

PS: I only add my to this comic strip because I am bored waiting for a scan of all 2000+ ASX stocks to finish. Won't be long now. Then it'll be Good Night from me - and Good Night from him :

Reading books on trading theory will not teach you half what you can learn in threads like this and the ones sQ linked to above Faramir

This is the coalface of trading, warts and all The greatest lessons are from watching real people make real trades .... even if those trades are based on good or bad trading logic!

 

[brty]

While I disagree with Tech/A saying this thread is worthless, this bit is put beautifully simply....

For the life of me I can't understand why a successful
Person would seek out a financial planner then allow
Them to control their investments.

I'm afraid financial qualifications don't impress me.
Those who are successful take care of themselves.

Exactly!!

However this thread and those of Ivant's, that SQ linked to are perfect for those that want to trade and are inexperienced. They are what makes these types of sites worthwhile.

I would also like to add another thread, the MCE one. In it even though the 'trading' is a different nature, it is a valuable lesson in a stock that had lots of followers, rose then crashed in price, but the attitude of those involved at various times summed up most trading (some use the expression investing to hide some trading sins).

I forgot to add to the OP in this thread. Tollbridge, the way to gain any credibility in a forum is to start a thread, and go through some of your trades live. That being, put on a trade then post what you have done and why. Then when you close the position, do likewise.
Tech/A did so a few years ago on another forum. Robusta has been doing one on his thread (forget the title for now, but easy to find).

All kudos goes to them for doing so. It takes a lot of guts to put up your trades as you do it. Plus whether they are working or not can be tracked in real time. If there is positive expectancy then it will show up over time. With Robusta's one on this forum, it is too early to discuss whether skill or luck is involved, but should he continue over a few more years, then statistically we will be able to see which is which. In the mean time, good on Robusta for doing it, he has my admiration for being strong enough of character to have a go and put up with the inevitable comments that come along with some of the choices/trades.


Tollbridge are you up to putting your trades live in a separate thread? Trades, not bets, and logic behind the decision making. (I consider CDFs betting, with odds stacked against you. The real world involves stocks and commodities and a real broker)

Dear ASF

The reason I made this post was to prove that binary trading combined with technical analysis can be highly profitable. I have provided evidence to support my claim through the IG statement a few posts back.

My bull****ting regarding having qualifications was admittedly ridiculous - I was rather drunk at the time and was just so annoyed that I had done something pretty impressive (in my opinion anyway) and nobody believed it. I felt after literally years of trading and loosing, trading and loosing, trading and loosing that I had finally pulled it off and provided myself with a nest egg with which to trade using much lower risk vehicles. I was insulted at the thought that I was trying to sell something, I was merely stating what I'd done.

The argument regarding gambling at the casino and trading isn't really something I want to go into, but I don't feel my trading is anything like playing roulette or blackjack (which I do enjoy from time to time). There's a distinct lack of alcoholic beverages, music and glimmering lights in addition to a lack of technical analysis strategies and the ability to quickly adjust my exposure midway through. Although I do not have a Bloomberg Professional Terminal I do rely heavily on charts and would say I am quite proficient regarding technical analysis. I did not log in to my trading terminal and immediately put the entire capital on red, I put in a hell of a lot of research and timed my entry and exit points in exactly the same way I would have trading using traditional methods.

For the record I made a total of 64 trades, 41 were profitable and 23 unprofitable a 64% profit rate should prove that I have at least some skill in relation to t/a.

My trading activity has never been for the long or medium term, I am a trader - not an investor. I jump in and out of forex markets and in and out of CFDs. The "Sprint Market" binary approach works well in my particular circumstance because it nearly always provides higher returns than that of normal trading in the timeframe allocated.

Again, I'd be happy to provide further statements to back up my claims, but the honest truth is that in six weeks I have made in excess of $50,000.00 from a starting balance of $250.00 and I'm not selling a thing.

That sounds like so much fun and I'd love to do it, so for example I place a trade and then switch over and say:

$2000 Binary S&P200 Long 5566.5 to close at 15:43

and then post the result.


And I'd do this for each trade? Why not just provide a statement of trades like I did earlier?

 

[tollbridge]

Then taking on everyone with I'll prove it --- I'll prove it.
( predictably no proof )

But I did prove it.

 

[Porper]

But I did prove it.

It is easy for you to prove us wrong. As has been mentioned just place a trade and post on here immediately. It will take 30 seconds . Do the same when you close a position. Very simple but I know you'll try and wriggle out of it because it will show you up. Also, you say you are proficient at T/A. Some examples would be good. A chart and reasons for entry/exit.

Thank you and looking forward to seeing your excellent work.

I think it is just that your initial post sounded very much like a Nigerian scam cover letter.

 

[tollbridge]

Done, it starts on Monday at around 10:30am. I'll make a separate thread and provide a link to it here.

 

[minwa]

- You lied about your qualifications wildly.

- You lied about saying you have experience of making $1k a week and then later saying you stated you kept loosing and loosing before until you found sprint binaries.

"I tried in vein with the small amounts I had ($2,000) but always lost. 10 years later and honestly after putting in $250 my account is now at $49,000.00."

&

"I knew that I had the experience to be able to consistently make around $1000.00 a week"


- You lied about saying you were violently sick when your account was down $15k and then later saying you feel no emotion about unwithdrawn profits.

"At one point I was sitting on $15,000.00 and put the whole lot on a long position which for 4 minutes was in my favor only to close out below my opening price. I lost $15,000 in one day and I felt violently sick. I thought what the hell was I thinking, $15,000 gone."

&

"It is interesting though and it will always fascinate me the way people relate emotionally to their money. I take the view that if I lose it all, all I've really lost was Mum's $250. "

- Still waiting on your video review of the hotel. "I make reviews of all the hotels I stay at, I decided to make a video review considering the class of hotel I was staying at. I'll upload it to YouTube shortly."


Also why does Tollbridge Investment Services exit, when you need to borrow $250 from your mum to trade ?? This is just gonna end up like Alvin Purple.
