Yes, I have also my own list of people that I follow :

I'm learning to fly @ Forex Factory
DailySniper @ Forex Factory
RSI Unlimited @ Forex Factory
Start of my journey towards profitable trading with PA @ Forex Factory
SourceCodeFX Trading Journal @ Forex Factory

Some don't show their balance or trading lot sizes... too big ? too ridiculous ? who knows...

Maybe we can feedback a suggestion: ability to sort the TradeExplorers by accounts under $10K (Minor League) and accounts over $10K (Major League), similar to what RAPACapIntro did although their cut-off is higher at $100K. So even if people chose to hide their account balance we can just do our own sorting. Not sure if ForexFactory will like that idea.

I think you will be surprised at how rare a 10K+ account on FF will be. Look up and down the top 100 TEs and you will see how rare it is for someone to show their balance.

Yes, it's a good idea.

It reminds me that some time ago I proposed also to FF, through their contact form, to modify their vouch policy.

My idea was that instead of letting people with 4+ vouchs vouching for others (current rule), I proposed that people with good performance on their live trader to obtain automatic vouchs from FF.

And guess what ? No response, so I think that the only thing you can lose is your time.

This a technical blowup.client accounts down 70% and risk of 90% ruin CERTAIN.I wish he could tell us his thoughts,what he's going through,his emotions. From 2005 constant practicing, no sleep and yet no results. I have seen it over and over again at FF.some even 10 yrs and still constantly blowing up. Which other business is so unrewarding? This game is definitely Satans play ground. I can bet we've lost TPOTrader aka hilmy83 yet again.He'll probably reinvent himself again. Condolences to his unlucky investors.

It seems easier to find on Myfxbook. Here's one with real $2million deposit.

Yeah, browsing the Trade Explorers is pretty amusing. Truly, I don't understand the necessity of hiding stats, but that's just me. Some of the graphs in certain explorers is downright perplexing, with huge huge 45 degree and constant drawdowns, yet they are listed as profitable return-wise....perhaps its closed trades only. Hmmm.

{quote} Hey broketrader, Any new list of trades you followed on their TradeExplorers? So far almost all we mentioned have fallen down and I'm looking for new ones out of boredom and interest.

{quote} 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.
I disagree.

If you are looking for "pro" pit traders, (a dying breed at that due to electronics) or hedge fund managers, or Bank CEOs,
to post on this forum, then yes, you are kidding yourself.

Furthermore, many people that just man trading desks, are bound by STRICT confidentiality laws, which prohibit them from posting on such forums.

There are some Great Traders here and a lot of noobs.

I have been here for 4+ years and do it all for free. Yet, the margin in my accounts is mine.
My analysis is my own and I have no commercial affiliation with anyone.

That being said, yes, I am a longer term trader, and use the forum to pass time and share my ideas in the hopes that someone else may not
make certain mistakes and WILL make some money.

I only scalp when a clear sideways movement is established.

There is no clear cut, million dollar answer to trading.

As we have seen with bernie MADE-OFF - there are more cheaters and liars, thieves and deceivers than honest folk in this game.
BUT THAT'S it - just another part of the game. Governments, stock analysts, hedge funds, investment banks, fx brokers,
all LIE or PAD the TRUTH.

It's up to YOU to make your own calls and follow what you believe what direction on any given pair, metal, index, will make you money.

Maybe you are reading the WRONG threads and not using your ignore list.

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD YOUR EXPLORER TO THE VIP TRADERS LIST.

BUT, I WOULD REQUIRE THAT YOU UNHIDE YOUR BALANCE AND EQUITY AND MARGIN USED.

One thing that really bugs me is when a long-time FF user with many vouchers creates a TE and calls it a test account. It's like that are trying to free roll their FF reputation. If the TE does well, they have a brag and justification for their vouchers and reputation on FF. If the TE shows poor performance, they can just dismiss it as a test account. It really annoys me.
