DislikedAppreciate your answer.. and I agree with some of your points, if you would trade 100000 dollars 20 % draw down means hell it is actually unthinkable.. but believe it or not he survived more than one year and actually made money ( a Little), you must recognize this is better than majority...Ignored
bob appeals to the lowest common denominator. the fact is that anyone who populates an account with enough margin can trade randomly and probably perform comparably to bob, if not outperform if they use a little bit of clout. bob thinks he is onto the winning ticket.... but he is just churning randomness and picking up pennies along the way. that's no way to get ahead, and his misinformation is truly a sight to behold. bob's ego has blinded him and it's not just myself who has called him on his crap and shown with proof why certain things he claims are ass-backwards.... which he ignores and goes on his merry way pretending to be a trader.
if i start a thread with my nubcake 1.0 alpha EA and start talking absolute nonsense and 'teach' outright 'lies'.... i don't care how many sheeple i get following me.... i expect someone to call me on my bullshit and show why i'm wrong.
i'm not the only one to call bob out on his continual delusions, however, i am the one who gets the most kick out of it at this time so i'm more vocal than others. each time bob sticks his head out of his fairy-land and continues dribbling more misinformation he should expect to get smacked with the truth. it just so happens that it's been me doing it mostly recently.
i don't know about you, but i have a general distaste for false prophets and being asked to chew on crap as though it's caviar.
the proof is in the pudding. i don't know the actual answer to this, but i have my educated guess.... i wonder how many newbies populate bob's threads, and how many actual traders who make a living from trading populate bob's threads? when most of the 'chatter' is from people who popup out of the woodwork with under 10 posts then it's a pretty big signal as to the situation.
Congratulations ScalaFX for coming out of the closet!
