Discretionary trading attitude

[Gringotts Bank]

My point is that I have expertise in something due to practise -futures trading.

Your point seems to be you can think you're a good trader therefore you are. Remember your comment about effecting the bid/ask spread with your confidence level. LOL.

My will be real trades. Yours will be BS.

So you will do it? Great! Let's come up with the rules.

I'll post trades tomorrow. At the end of the day I will be in profit with real money. At the end of the day you will still be dreaming of being able to make money; like you where when you turned up here years ago and like you will still be in years from now.........

:horse:

What I want to know is if you have the guts to compete against me live in a public forum so that everyone can see the results.

For me it's low risk, since I don't go around criticizing everyone else constantly. For you it's high risk since you do criticize anyone who has a different approach to yourself, and you may lose your status completely and have to admit defeat....publicly.

I'm the only one on the forum who does objectively analyze this component of trading.

I assume you're in also?

Good, that's 3 of us.

Pointless exercise.
The only way you could audit it would be through a brokers statement.

Cream rises to the top GB
Cred comes from content not challenges

How can whatever happen tomorrow have any bearing on the fact that I make money over the long run and that makes me what you are not, a profitable trader.

Well GB you nearly had your wet dreams come true. I was deeply in the red after the open. In desperate need for a bailout about as big as a Cypriote banker but alas it was not to be. In the green again.

(Admittedly its a piddly $200 on 10 mil turn around! )

You got anything for us today?

It's not that I am wanting you or tech to fail. I put up the challenge to illustrate a point, and that is that the fear of public humiliation would cause you to falter in your judgments and thereby lose money during the challenge. That would then prove my point about how psychology (fear in particular) can cause a distortion in perception and subsequently, poor trading results. As you know, successful traders see the market how it actually is, free of such distortions. When you first started trading large sums of money at the prop firm, you got the willys and your performance suffered in line with that, remember?
