Fun fact: did you know that while CP was making his first posts here, claiming to be millionaire, he was trying to make money with two personal development websites he created and those websites were full of advertisements to other scammy LOA/self help websites and self hypnosis products that were popular at the time? Strange hobby for a millionaire LOL

{quote} I did not obtained his real name from "unpublished" documents. He published his real name himself, by accident. Probably he doesn't even know to this day were he published it, lol Also, I have the "unpublished" documents (I think I have all of them, but I don't know). The only reason I did not published them is because they are a useless mountain of nothing and I don't want other poor souls to waste years of their life on this. I know many traders that wasted decades of their lives studying CP without any tangible results. Buying a crappy...
I have no interest in knowing CP real name. Im curious as to how you knew about it AND obviously you dont think highly of him, so why dont you reveal it? Again, and to be clear, I couldnt care less about CP's work or real name. Every one here saying they are profitable are just shady and refuse to share one ounce of proof like verified third party broker statements of the last 5 years. They all seem to be making BIG money, but you "have to find that path on your own" bullshit. They just want fame and popularity. I'm inquiring about your motivations. Since you obviously think he is a scammer and a bad person, why dont you reveal "bad but real information" on him, like his real name.

I dont want to start a war. But there are SO many big threads here with big names like Aussi, but never shown ONE proof of his profitability. When asked, we always get the same reply from each of them (not just Aussi, its just the first named that came to my mind, again, dont want to start a war with anyone). I think that if you truly want to help people, either do it for real or just dont. Dont share SOME nuggets here and there without revealing everything and IF you truly have a profitable system, its only fair for us to ask for proofs like broker statements. BUT no...we get the same old answer: "I dont have anything to prove to anyone". If you are profitable, you should be able to back up your claims of profitability. Period. That goes for everyone.

Doxing someone online whether they are a sketchy person can lead to imprisonment behind bars.

That's why I stated I have nothing to do with it. Wiping my hands clean.
Provoking someone to dox someone can be an accessory.

Yes that he behave like a self help guru when he's not. He claims he's a millionaire when he's not.
Your post regarding Pi is something like CP would share, and the way you treated everyone who tried decipher your garbage is typical of CP. You insulted a data analyst saying that your nephew could produce similar charts, when that guy is literally a professor, curious to know your profession.

I don't care about being imprisoned, CP himself shared his name because of a oversight, so it would not be my fault. I don't share it because I'm not a complete jerk and I know it could have bad consequences for him.

So.. a group of idiots hacked another idiot, stole encrypted files (about fx trading or MACD?) - it turned out the files are a useless crap.
If this is true I wouldn't be surprised if it was smth like

Yes this is comical. Definitely these "funny" stories wouldn't had emerged if REAL value was dropped by CP... You don't see these "gossip" on scientific community.

Anyway I'm no PR, I have NOTHING to do with any hacker. I discovered this whole pile of shit in 2020 when everyone was long gone, dedicated 3 years of study to this scam. Again, nothing to do with scammers or anything else. I was not around when CP was active nor when said groups formed.

Let’s be honest—knowing CP’s real name won’t make anyone a better trader.
The real question is: How does that information help you make money? Will it suddenly unlock some secret to profitability?
Think about it. You already know the names of famous traders, did that knowledge alone improve your trading? Probably not. What helped was reading their books, analyzing their strategies, and applying their insights.
It’s the same with CP. His name isn’t what matters, it’s the knowledge he shared. His posts contain valuable insights that traders can learn from, test, and apply.
So why do people care so much about whether CP is still on the forum or using a different username? The information he provided is still here, and that’s what really matters.

If you’re looking for a ready-made system or indicator, you won’t find it in CP’s posts. But you will find ideas that:
- Challenge you to build your own system or edge
- Encourage independent thinking and DYOR
- Help you see the markets differently from the herd
- And many more...

Here are two posts worth exploring:
https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...3#post10342703
https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...29#post8309529
What insight can you take and develop into something useful?

Here are some traders who (hopefully) became profitable by applying CP’s insights: @pipalicious @Sis.yphus @alexx90 @PianoPlayer ...
And these traders are still experimenting with CP’s ideas today: @Epiphanic @030985 @apprendista @AntiCre ...

I’m not here to defend CP. I’m just saying: stop focusing on the wrong things and start focusing on what actually helps your trading.

The only problem is that the knowledge he shared is useless, let aside the fact that he lied about being millionaire (look prev. post)

Maybe, countrary to all other posters, you can share some quantitative findings? No shit about why no-one share quantitative findings, simply there are not. LOL

Im inclined to believe you, but then again, how do we know that:

1. You truly know CP
2. He isnt a millionaire
3. That his work is useless? Maybe it just didnt work for you and instead of blaming yourself, you blame the system or the inventor of this said system.

These are just ideas. Not saying any of my points are truths. But in this world, its just very hard to trust people. The only thing I would trust if I was to learn from someone are 5 years of broker statements. Not 5 years of trading profitably and then at year 3 you begin selling courses and we see a jump in your account from like 100k to 500k (like Tori trades for example).

Ahhh welcome back dear CP. I see your arguments against people demanding objectivity are not changed after all these years {quote} LOL this is exactly how a person not able to code would talk. It's not about who code better, even a 10 year old can learn how to code, who cares who code better (in this endeavor at least, we're not building a rocket), as long as you're able to do some data analysis it's good! {quote} We are all on the edge of our seat!!! Just share now or directly reply on the weekend.. It's cringe talking like this, either...
Hi Oculus,
I have an interest in your paper you have reference trading if I might have a look. I have some views about our friend CP & did discover one thing I do believe dear Ole CP has a focus on. Not sure who CP really is, but that no important to me as information is the only thing that is important.

Why a self proclaimed millionaire would run two self development websites full of scams advertisements trying to profit from users clicking them? Both websites are down since many years, but they were up when he was claiming to be profitable with multiple millions in the broker.

Anyway, his work is useless until proven otherwise. No one was able to prove otherwise.

As I said, how do I know these claims are true (about his websites). Anyway, I never trust anyone without broker statements. Therefore I trust no one lol

Well I did some digging and I uncovered several interesting things.

But listen carefully. There are people who respect and likes CP. There are people who hate and dislike CP. The people who likes and respect him, claimed that he made an impact in their trading. They claimed that they found value in what he posted. You're totally disregarding these group of people. He has like over 600 followers here.

But interestingly, here is what I noticed. Those who likes him did not pursue his trading indicators and his trading system. Those that hated him were after his holy grail of indicators and trading system.
He was very adamant and it was repeatedly posted many times:
"Do not try to decipher my indicators."
"Do not try to decipher my own trading system"
"I'm not here to talk about my own trading system and indicators."
"I have not disclosed my indicators and trading system. Half of the things how I trade have not been disclosed."
"I will only share what I want to share... take what is valuable to you... remove what is not... If I don't make sense, ignore me."
So no one knows his indicators. No one knows his trading system. No one knows how he trades. Because they have never been disclosed.
So what were you analyzing and testing, claiming his work is rubbish???

People have been told not to go down that rabbit hole, and they did. Then after years of futile efforts, they started to hate CP. You seem to have a vendetta on CP. That's your own doing.



What I found after digging around the internet. You can also confirm this as you know his name.

You put his name in google search and only a few things that pops up:
1) just a few links to self improvement websites.
2) the country and his business registry details (now closed, not operating).
3) a government document

Well here's what I can conclude from the search:
1) The guy is a ghost. He is not on linked in. He is not on facebook. He is not on X/twitter or any social website.
2) He is not selling anything online. He's nowhere else online.
3) The government document, he wrote a letter fighting for a community. Seems to be for a good cause.

Interestingly, these coincide with the things he said in this post (so he is telling the truth):
https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...3#post10377863
1) He claimed to having a business. His business registry shows.
2) He claimed he was into personal development and self improvements. Well it proves he was into that hobby. So no wonder him starting a websites on the topic. Selling stuff online is not a crime. It's part of having multiple stream of income even if you're a millionaire. Most millionaire have multiple streams of income. So nothing wrong with that in my eyes.
3) He claimed to be blacklisted in social media for being young and dumb, experimenting in the early days of the internet. Well he is nowhere to be found in any social website.

At this point. Whatever he is doing or wherever he is, he is not selling anything online. He's barely online.
To me, there was nothing negative with what I found out online about the guy.

I did not tried to replicate his indicator. I just applied objective analysis to what he teached. I studied him for 3 wasted years. Maybe I'm too dumb? Maybe. Maybe one day I'll try again at this, but for now I'm putting my effort on more real things that can feed me and pay the bills.

So...
The website wasn't generating any income, indeed he closed it. Anyway why would a millionaire try to make money with a stupid blog?
Regarding the document, basically he sent a complain to Australian regulators in order to not lower the leverage. Now ask yourself these questions: why would a millionaire care about leverage in cfd products? Why would a milionarie trade at all with cfd? I would not put a single penny on a cfd broker, let aside multiple millions. When you have millions you trade futures for a number of reasons, period. Putting millions on fxcm makes me laugh. Clearly his broker screenshots were edited, I refuse to believe someone can be that dumb. CP also knew hot to recognize edited fake screenshots, and thus he knew how to fake it perfectly (no pixel blur around the text).

Also, yes he's a ghost... You know when somebody is a ghost online I would ask myself a couple of questions... Seriously no friends, no family members, anyone at all post a photo with you? That's sad.

I really thought CP was one of a kind guy, a smart guy who knew lots of things. I was amazed by reading his posts. I had huge admiration for him. Then I stepped out of the door and I met real smart people.
Now I just think CP is a self educated smart guy that needed some attentions. Maybe one day I'll change my idea.

I dont seek vendetta. I know he himself stated to ignore him if he made no sense... But then he proceeded behaving like a guru and saying things like "the biggest secret is buy above a line and sell below!!!".

Talking about sharing why don't you impress everyone with that informative paper you wrote. Since I'm not in the habit of sharing with jerks I'm going to refrain from sharing anything here.
