Hi LV
The statements I do plan to post are not from my main account - although in this particular argument Random really wants to see multi months and ideally 12-24 months of results which ideally need an accountant or broker sign off as being true and fully representative.
That is something I am not prepared to share with anyone other than my own accountant.
I am a person who will never be forced into anything I do not want to do - and would far sooner everyone believe that - I cannot trade - I use a demo account - I am no good etc etc - and Random and Shakone are 100% correct I am a crooked vendor trying to rip the whole forum off - etc etc
Let all believe what they want - as I have said - I am not selling anything - I have nothing to prove and let traders make their own minds up after they have spent a few days watching me trade in the other thread
I have fully admitted I hit my psychological barrier when I tried to compound and use stake sizes above 22 lots per pip on a real live account of over £170k or $200k dollars . I am surprised Random has not used that in his arguments to really say you are not cut out for it etc etc- you cannot cope handle pressure etc etc. But he knows very few retail traders will ever trade live with over £50k of their own funds and so that discredit does not fit in with his own "agenda" game.
I hope that helps LV for you to understand my reasoning
Have a good day

Hi F.
I hope you're well, and I wish you all the best for the new year, as I do one and all on this site.
As you can appreciate I have been a staunch supporter of you, and everyone having the right to post what they wish, and what they don't wish to post, then not to, alas I do have a few questions that have me a little perplexed, and if you could be as kind as to answer them I would really appreciate it.
First of all why do you have more than one account, I.E a main account, and another. Surely if you have a method that works then there can be instances of slight variances between brokers that can mean the difference with tight stops of either being in a trade, or being stopped out.
Secondly, a few posts ago you mentioned that you post trades that are a little lagging, because you don't want to be a text, advisory service etc, but surely if someone follows your trades live would do it as their own choice. Caveat Emptor etc.
You also stated that you're here to teach people how to get profitable at trading, yet talk about LR's, and how you have no time for beginners, and would only help intermediates. I'm sure if you started at the beginning, and helped all the beginners who come on this site, then that would be more intertesting, and you would gain more kudos from all on this site, rather than have the beginners reading your thread in awe and amazement, yet don't have a clue about what you're doing. Yet down the line if you decided to sell your magic formula, they would be the first to sign up, and i think that is what the seasoned veterans of this site are worried about.
Would I buy your course if you sold one. If I did not have a profitable strategy then of course I would, as would any sane person who was not profitable, but only on the proviso that you could prove every claim in your threads of account size, averaging 50 pips per day, and not having a losing day for over 6 months etc. If you couldn't prove this or tried to fob me off with a smaller account with 3000% return in a week, then I would run for the hills...............Beverly Hills.
I think no one is questioning you're psychological barrier/can not handle pressure, because that is not the crux of their issue with you,
There is nothing wrong with not knowing something, and asking about it, i.e. if you didn't know what a Sharpe ratio was, you should have asked Random/Shakone, and I'm sure they would have explained it so you could have worked it out properly, rather than back yourself into a corner.
Personally I think that anyone following your methodology on the other thread will not be profitable, and please excuse me for saying this, as my reason for this is that everyone has an individual style, and adapting to anothers, or trying to work it out just by watching someone throw numbers of entries, and currency etc is very hard if not impossible,
plus from what I've seen of your trading, naturally there is a fundamental flaw, but you know this already, and don't really need me to point it out.
I do intermittently check in on your other thread, but unfortunately I am unable to contribute as, unlike you my multi tasking abilities are rubbish, thus trading/making money is my no. 1 priority, and all my focus, and concentration is spent on my trading.
As for this thread well I have certainly not learnt anything in regards to the thread title, and should not really be wasting my time reading it, but like watching the aftermath of a car crash I keep coming back.
Best
John.
