That is what aroused my suspicision. Also the fact she has not made any previous posts before this thread and the avatar doesn't help.

If they are real results good on her. Would be good to get some insights into her money management, entry criteria etc to learn from.

Yes.

If these are live reports which they seem to be, there is no cause to doubt the results. No problem with that and well done.

But:

1/ It's the story, seemingly following a well used formula seen on various trading forums.
2/ The confidence and savvy of a purportedly noooooobie trader
3/ The understanding of posting protocols regarding daytrades
3/ The position size - 10 lots on the SPI FFS

This is what raises my suspicions regarding the true identity and motives of this person.

Hope I'm wrong. but I'm just saying.....
 
This is a trading site and TraderGirl is posting trades. This site should have a journal forum.
Anyone with live data ( professional traders, how many on this site?) can look at trades placed with hindsight.

These trades fictitious or not, apologies Trader Girl, are refreshing. Makes a change from reading words from non-traders, pikers and know all wannabees.

Yer can we please not scare posters off.

I am enjoying this thread, it is a refreshing change because "Aussie Stock Form" finally has a thread with regular posts that are actually related to the stock market.
 
This thread is like one of Trembling Hands. A person comes on ASF with one thing. What is that one thing? Unshakable confidence. And THAT ALONE is why it has suddenly gained a lot of viewers. TH verified his trades, great. He made a lot of money, great. He was also (largely) a sentiment trader. Can you use this for your own trading? No you can't. Not directly anyway.

Whether Trader Girl's trades are real or not is sort of secondary to me. Trading profitably is ALL about how you feel, so others' confidence and success is nice to read about. But don't assume that you can draw on TG's confidence (or confident presentation) and use that yourself. You might be able to, but it's much better to develop that confidence for yourself, rather than glom off her.

It's like when you go to a party. If there's one particularly confident person, people will flock around him/her, hoping to bask in the glow of that other person's vibe. But as soon that person leaves, the acolytes are left in the dark... totally without direction.

Yes, confidence is great. Develop your own.

PS. Girls that look like that don't trade. They work in law, media and modelling.
 
"Yes, confidence is great. Develop your own"

Great quote & post GB :)

We are also enjoying this thread.

Please don't scare Trader Girl away.

Yes, confidence in trading is paramount. At the very least, this thread has brought out some intelligent conversation.
 
Paul, Gringotts, et al

To maintain the integrity of the forum, we have to ensure such posts are bona fide in content and intent. If Trader Girl is who she says she is all fine and good the posts are most welcome.

Already an inconsistency has been discovered.

You understand that trading forums have to be careful because of

1/ ASIC rules
2/ Protection of paying advertisers
3/ Ensuring integrity of information published
etc etc

This follows a well worn route of "educators" trying to get free marketing by initially purporting to be somebody else.

Not accusing Trader Girl of this, but just saying...
 
My orders are placed on the bid or the
offer depending on whether I'm buying
or selling.I very rarely hit the bid or
offer.I hope this clears up any confusion.
 
I have no intention of selling anything
I'm a private trader and always will be.
I am not in anyway suggesting following
my trades in any way.
 
Hi, Trader Girl.
I'm a total newbie to the entire trading scene, so I'm finding this thread both interesting and useful. Please do keep posting. :)
 
Lets not judge evor let our suspicions get the better of us, time will tell.

BTW.. GB, how do you know TGs avatar is a pic of her.

There are no block trades of 10 lots going through at those times and prices on the SPI

If the prices you quote are not the ones you actually traded, why quote them? Does this not mean that the profits you report are not accurate, and so we have no idea what your trading is actually realising?
