DislikedPerhaps you thought I was attacking your style or postings here on FF...
I was not. They were generalizations.Ignored
DislikedAs for "personal details", I disagree with you.
Hiding your account balance and trade size but...
showing your trades, draw down, percentage gain, consistency, and compounded growth over time
is hardly akin to disclosing your salary or mortgage details.
Are you obliged to? Absolutely not.Ignored

My point was more about trading being a "performance" activity.
I could read a great book about golf, but I would probably do better (initially)
getting lessons from a club pro.Ignored
If I was to be writing a book about trading, obviously I would have to include my stats. If I was going to be a trading coach...same thing.
However, I am doing neither of those things. I am just trading with my own system and enjoying myself. If someone asks for help, I will offer my assistance. They can take it or leave it, either way is fine with me. But, when I am called a 'cheater' by someone I offered to help just because I won't bow down to his demands to show my account details, I get a little pissed off.
As I said to him, you cannot put your conditions on someones help.
And as you have seen, because of his insistence that people bow down to him and publish their data before he will accept their help......he has received no help. He ended up with nothing......and that's what he deserved.
Doing what you like is Freedom. Liking what you do is Happiness.
