As requested ive attached a screenshot of my trading account... :):cool: This is the reason why you guys all fail though, as you focus on the amount of capital you have to start with, rather than learning how to focus on the actual skill of getting great entry levels and making consistent...

I can very easily post screenshots of my account's P/L summary, however the issue with screenshots and photos are that they can extremely easily be photo-shopped to show anything. :thumbsup: However when I Live-Call my trades in real-time, and state the amount per point im trading at, THAT is...

The big bum babe element is merely abit of harmless fun to liven-up the trading day, and to make my twitter standout from the tens of thousands of other traders who are also on twitter. :) I have no interest in trying to ''sell a system'' or advertise any kind of paid subscription service...

The live-calls on the twitter page are all time-stamped, and so there proof of them being correct consistently is there in black n white... :) And im a discretionary trader, and so I don't need/want to sit in-front of the laptop all day as all that will make me do is over-trade/become impatient.

I personally, like almost every other trader, now use Twitter as my journal to Live-Call all my trades, and communicate with other traders. My username on there is Big_Bum_Babe So if you want to follow me and watch me Live-Call all my trades inadvance & realtime, that's where you can do so. I...

As far as i can tell from his live-calls all his trade exits where he closes the trade for a loss are done manually and at market levels chosen discretionately, not by letting the market spike up to touching an automatic stoploss. You can check him out for yourself on his twitter though.

Or in other words you watched that CNBC documentary about that 2weeks ago... :lol::rolleyes:

The reason that im so intrigued is that ive been following the live calls of spanish89 on elite trader for a number of years, although he was a former memember of this site approx 5years ago. I remember when he 1st started his journal on elite that everyone over there thought he was gna make...

Yes i saw various mentions by him of that kind of activity in his elitetrader journal. Im not saying that in any way condone those things, however the way i personally viewed it was that i just took the rough with the smooth. As i followed his journal to watch his trade calls since i wanted...

It does seem incapable of having even 2 consecutive down days of more than (-1.0%) though regardless of how bad the macro news flow, data, and fundamentals has been, which makes me think this is either going to collapse like the 1999 tech bubble or just end the year at around 18,000!

I have been a member of elitetrader for a couple of years and his journal was 1 of the few that i actually followed very closely, since despite all the bravado and theatrical elements due to his writing style his live trade calls and the consistency of his profit returns was really quite...

Thanks for your replies, they were very eloquently written. :) I still do not know the answer to the 2nd point i posted though of- Someone who doesn't use money-management and instead relies completely on their own skill and analysis of trade entries to be their MM, but yet is consistently...

For example its this like this post from 1 of the mods on this site which really confuse me and makes me feel that a large number of people are focusing on completely the wrong thing. (www.trade2win.com/boards/home-trader/88382-zulutrade-216.html#post2112624) He basically says that ''Without...

I was referring to when thats combined with averaging-in though. For example if someone wanted to short the dow with 3 contracts, but so they added 1st contract in at 14,800, added 2nd contract if went to 14,900, and 3rd contract if went to 15,000. (And then entered their emergency stoploss at...

What is more important, and who would you class as a more sucessful trader? A trader who follows all the rules of using tight stoplosses, only risking 2% of their capital per trading, waiting until a clear trend is already in place before placing a trade, but after a few years they have only...
