How many Trade Explorers are there?

so how many trade explorers are there? we only see the top 100 but how many traders have a trade explorer atached?
could it be a psyhcological issue that traders that do good don't like to show a trade explorer? could it be that many of the long term profitable traders (1-2years min) don't stay on forums like this one and don't have a particular interest in showing their success?

yep....this is a rookie forum where we come to share ideas.I guess when you know you've really made it you don't feel the need to discuss anything about trading.
I hope one day to out grow FF. of late I'm finding very little material of use not like the earlier days when I was overwhelmed with new material.

Most probably they have trade explorers to measure their success and not so interested to show that to the others.

Most of the time Signal services providers & mentors show their TE to the public.

You would have to have a motive to show your myfxbook to the public though

what about the competition issue? most contests last 1 month 2 months but it's not by any standard a measurement of skill . it's a measurement of luck. i've seen traders at dukascopy who are said to make at least 100 % monthly but the info does not add up. my guess is that they all failed somehow in the long term because they would have made it past 100 milion each in 3 years time. i see a lot of those examples here. huge success 1-3 months and after that failure. long term success is extremely hard to find. after seeing the explorer the results are pathetic. the 30% account profitability by trimester i'm conviced now that goes to hell in just 1 year. maybe 1 milion accounts in the whole world but long term profitability it's by no means 30% . my gues it's not even 1%.

none of the "gurus" in the trading systems thread ever put up their explorers even if demo. coz they know their systems are shit.basically those who try remove their explorers after a disastrous drawdown.

for how long will this gurus cheat people ...I guess its the need for recognition that keeps these depraved souls going on...or some illusions of grandeur being called a master trader by pathetic followers. some of these long threads have become like a religion and the OP becomes like some sort of a god.

There are a few genuinely helpful "gurus" who after putting up the TradeExplorer or Myfxbook, found it distracting or even detrimental to their own trading discipline. That's why they had to leave,

I am sure that many of you have seen by now that I have made the explorer private again. I have had a two day long conversation with my wife and this has resulted in my decision to remove this thread from my daily routine. My children turn one year in less than a month. We have an ongoing construction project with our new house. We are still trying to fully settle into this house while caring for my wife's elderly parents, raising twins, living life, and trying to maintain a marriage. There will be no website. There will be no live room....

I was looking at some of the Top 100 TradeExplorers at http://www.forexfactory.com/trades.php and after sorting by Live Accounts, I noticed that most had their account balance and "Money & Lots" set to private. That's their personal choice of course and I would do the same with my real live account. Just being curious, what is the largest account size you have seen on that Top 100 board? I mean live accounts of course.

i have said it, others have said the same thing, vouchers mean little.

this forum has the trade explorer system...

some enjoy keeping their explorer private, for any number of reasons..

if this forum had a section of it where any person could read it, but in order to pos you had to have an active and profitable account and then perhaps instead of your profile showing how many of these funny money vouchers that you have, instead it simply states the amount of time that you have been profitable and a value that indicates how active said account is...

so, instead of vouchers, we:

allow posting to the winners section of this forum by winners only.

of course, tho, that section of the forum would be one hopping and busy place..

and, i would surely never be able to post in it.

about vouches it is true. I see lot of 10v+ who say nothing interesting just do a lot of spam and attention seeking (of course there are a lot people with huge knowledge as well)

regarding to explorer - it helps a lot but If I had 100k on it, it would be private (maybe I'd show profit in% but not the amounts) as too many people would try to contact me and/or get to the cash somehow (not sure how, but better to be safe than sorry)

You are anonymous (behind a nickname) on this forum and if you don't respond to the private messaging then no one can contact you. Not sure what you mean by "get to the cash". There are other places where live accounts over $100K are up for competition and account balance open to public. I'm just looking to follow any live account TradeExplorer over $10K or $30K for my own curiosity. I did go through the Top 100 but so many have hidden their Money & Lots I just think to myself these are $200 test accounts, not all true of course but that was constantly on my mind. I'm not interested in Demo TradeExplorer anymore as I've done those kind of show-off equity growth before. Similarly broker competition accounts with 300-3000% growth aren't the kind of trading I want to study.

Thanks Patience for that link, that was a big live account. TPOTrader was another on my list but he isn't doing well right now. As you can guess I'm studying the risk management and money management of "medium"-sized live accounts, not so much to learn their strategy or follow their trade signals. That is, if I can find a few more examples of live account TradeExplorer over $10K or $30K size.

I guess this is what happen very often

When someone find out how to do safe and consistently profitable trading
He/she will be... busy making money

If any of us ... in that position, our reaction will most likely...be the same

Probably not as many as you think. I would say slightly over 1000 active TEs.
