Oh you're quite right Shirley. It's just so frustrating when someone asks for help and then won't take what's offered. It's fine though, the loss is his and no one else's. You know what they say.....you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink it!

I have an older version of Photoshop on this machine, but I'm pretty good on it!!
I think he just wants attention. Why do anyone post their statements online anyway - online statements are so easy to fake lol, nobody will believe they are real even if they really are real.

I'd rather watch Sex and The City than wasting my time copy pasting my print screen into paint/p'shop, crop the edges and anything that shows I'm watching too much Sex and The City, and then saving it into a jpeg, converting it into JPEG again because I realise Paint saved it as BMP, attaching it into FF, realise it was not so readable and re attaching it again, and wait for everyone's wows.

My darker side is my sarcasm

Well, mind you I'm bored, gold hasn't moved much but downwards, waiting for Support to be hit during NY. What do you trade usually?

I posted my offer of help for you here and all you could do was to try and put conditions on my offer.

As I said before, what do I have to gain by 'cheating??'

Whether you are successful or not makes no difference to me. I tried to help and you didn't want to know. Do I care? Not really, I'm sad to say.
sorry, maybe you misunderstand me. my english is not that good. it's not a condition (ask you to show your performance) before you kindly offer the link. they are two items, no relation at all.

LOL......great post!!!

Yes.....he wants attention, but he's exhausted me!!!

You trade gold?.....never traded the metals. My pairs are eur/usd, gbp/usd, usd/jpy, eur/jpy and sometimes usd/chf. I'd like to trade the Kiwi and the Aussie, but the rollovers are too high.

can you cheat in FF's trade explorer? show us!!!!please!!!! hope you are not another liar!

I don't wanna get attention. I just wanna get confidence from other successful traders.

based on what you said, you are not a good trader! you always think about how to cheat others. not how to show a real performance. you don't care it, because you never have that!

Your conditions were:

"but the system should be clear. give you rules when to trade, the enter and exit level clear.
I hope it's not a long thread"

When someone offers you help, you either say "thank you", or "no thank you", There are no other options.

And for what it's worth, I will now withdraw the offer because I don't want to be responsible for you polluting a good thread.

It's called print screen. or (mac)+shift+3 for mac users. If they're unabled u google " Print Screen Deluxe 7.0 "

and then u ctrl+v that into photoshop or paint and play with eraser / text command before adjusting them with the brightness/contrast to intergrate the gradient differences between the originals and the fakes.

But I'm sure the easier way would be asking your favor to do it for us.

I'm out for a trade.

Oh one more thing...

Bobowang, if you want to be rich just by observing someone else's methods of trading , by finding who's good by their statements............then ure wasting time.

No such thing as free lunch. You have a better chance copy posting this:

"hi anyone, I would want to share 50% of my profit with ANYONE who can teach me how to be PROFITABLE in forex, teach me their methods, and before that, I want to see your statements. I have a capital of $(fill in urself) to share with u"

Believe me, that will work.

Dude you are such a child....after 4 years you still want to hold hands and sing kumbaya? At this stage either you know you can make it or not. If you need the reassurance of a "pro trader" then you are so weak minded that it is not worth the effort to even further converse with you....

Yeah, whatever. It's a shame that you are so supremely arrogant because I and others have tried to help you.

Never mind though.....carry on in your search for the hold grail.
"you are so supremely arrogant "

you are supremely arrogant first!!! and speak in a way like a great trader. and call me idiot!!!

I really don't wanna talk to you, I already know you are a liar! and an uneduated person(lack of logic)!

This has been an interesting(though probably futile) thread to read.

I understand the argument(hopefully) as:

1. Thread starters/advice givers should offer empirical proof that they are qualified to give it.

vs.

2. Empirical proof is not needed to glean all that is needed to become a successful trader from what is already posted.

Which are two very different arguments, if you ask me, and there can be no real progress made as long as these battle lines are adhered to.

But my thoughts took me a different direction altogether...
What if every member were required to start their own Trade Explorer before they were allowed to post?
I think two things would happen:
1.Many shysters would turn away empty handed.
2.Many very valuable posters would leave for various reasons.

And then I am left with another question. Would we be any better off, as a community, if some of the best of our voices were silent??

My gracious bobowang.

I was here a few hours ago, and I come back and you are still here feuding. Do you know how much % you could have gained on your account instead of wasting time bickering..plenty volatility this morning. You say you have 4 years of trading experience, and a profitable system as given by your FF Explorer.

What more do you want? Your system produced nearly 40% return in the past six months. If you're confident in it, then work on maintaining what it is you're doing and in no time you'll be very wealthy, and won't need to engage in penis measurement of others' account.

For a college major studying finance, you really do come off as a 12 year old who plays WoW or something. Please say it ain't so.

Why do you need someone to show you their wonderful statistics on your command?

I also get the urge to figure which ff traders are telling the truth about how well they trade,
only I went the path of reading where people give wisdoms and then later say how well they trade (more over longer time, lower %).
A similar path is where a member started a thread with a fantastic claim in its title and made its posts convincing enough (more a limited series of trades, higher %)).

And when I need a quick fix, I punch the Windows calculator "=" button a zillion times,
or use (from here) this formula
to play as if I were ever consistent.

Finally, yes, it'd be nice if the Trade Explorer is used widely for competitions, to see whose published method works well (not better) and learn from them.
Simply to know who's best and isn't "cheating", that's a personal thing. And that, from what you've posted, is where you come in.

ff is for other things; for instance, when I'm not reading to enjoy, I either try and include others' example/advice, and practice to get better, for my method to gain an improved edge.
Yeah, no, I don't get why such proof as you ask for is so important, either.

I know, I can make 0% profits during this period! if I can make 2% during this period, I will be a trillionnaire in one year! right?
what is volatility? what is risk! risk is volatility.

not on my commond...I don't have the power! although I hope I have, based on that, I can tell others who is successful trader, who is cheater! that will help all of us!!!

Well then, there's other ways to get what you want, such as the one I hinted at. Blatancy dealing with money seems dangerous. I get your trust in TE, only it may be a while before someone's really motivated from within themselves to use TE that way. You may have to wait.

it is not indicative of anything? No, that mean we can't tell if she is successful or not. so you can't take her advice.

I am not newbie. I traded for several years. made more than 20 times profit already. but my strategy only gave me 8-10 signals each year. So I wanna learn some short term strategies which can give me at least 3 signal per week! but I can't find one with good results!
you trade for several years and only have a 4k account back to bed for me.

ok,ok. if you followed the performance from start, you will know it. that account is specially prepared for strategy testing. the system I trade in that account is from a commercial member. (I don't wanna mention it, or you will think I am advertising here. and why I showed it in TE,it's just a kind of protest) just ignore my performance. I just wanna see if someguy can show us great performance with more than 100 times profits. in the forum, you can see that a lot of people claim they can do it easily(but without any evidence).and I already know some of them are cheaters!!!
