Hey WSE -- how about including a % gain, so we know that's not a 1.5% gain over 42 trades?    My broker doesn't do graphs like this but I keep one myself.  I'll post mine tonight.

1.5% isnt bad if 1 trillion of equity was used.


Thanks

Nice!  Congrats on 1) trading out of the drawdown and 2) having a good 43 trades.  I think knowing the % offers a little perspective.  I also think analysing these types of things can make us all better traders and give us insight into how others do things.  Thanks again!

94.74% wins... Are you sure?... How can this be.

Your good friend Apsll made this statement
"Anyone who claims that they can trade with over 90% accuracy is a liar... period."




did you even notice thats only based on longs and the shorts is a much smaller win %?

i think the most important thing is the profitable trades which was 76%

well apsll also says that he does not short and only plays longs so in his eyes the shorts are irrelevant.

agm. Can you not understand how transperant you are. You are under some false impresion that your barbs are going to change what everyone already knows. And any real trader knows that it is not realistic to expect 94% winning trades on a consistant basis.

Instead of persuing your obsession with me; perhaps you and the forum will be better served with some constructive trading or market analysis. I made it very clear in my post that I do read the forums late at night or when I get the time. 

Is this how you want to be viewed by everyone? as the fool that only lives to put down Apsll. You are not even doing a very good job.

The best thing that you can do is just forget about me and all will be good......

Howdy Mat. I see you finally made it over here. It will not take you long to sift through the rubble to find the serious traders. Seek out Tobydad he comes as close as anyone to the way I find my stock picks. There are a lot of other good traders on this forum just read through the threads and let me know when you download the software. I will help you to learn how to use it.....

Maybe next week will better than 19. I too was over 90% last week and consistently over 80% for the year. I guess lurch would never understand those kinds of numbers.

Sorry Matt. You have come to the forum at a bad time. It is that time of the month for bigblock (cornel) and his friend agm (tomson). Throw in Funnymony and you have the three stooges....

If you just block them out then you will have a good time here with the Crew......

They do not get it. if they do not mention my name then I will just continue to read and not post. It is sad but without me they do not exist........

Let it go please, stick to trading. 

If someone throws some bait try not to bite. Good practice for when you need to keep  your emotions in check while trading.
