Stops or Not to Stop....

TradeRunner... so let me get this straight.. I don't have any complaints on my products so that's somehow questionable?

 

I got a better idea.. why don't some of you who want to keep making false claims put up some money and I'll produce my real money statements and make you look like the fools that you are.

 

I'm not responding to any more of this trolling.

In fairness we don't hear anything from them. Why not start a thread so your customers can critique your products?

No you didn't understand my meaning. We don't hear from any of your happy customers. Why not direct your customers to a thread about your products so they can sing your praises?

>>I too have been puzzled by what he meant by trade calls since his "calls" on that >>thread seemed to be win/win calls, meaning If I am wrong I was right and if I am right >>I am right.

 

Patently false... There are many days where I state I hit my max loss limit. If you had actually read what I posted you'd know this. It is all in that thread. (edit)

 

>>So "Taking a high risk short" means taking a short but I know it probably won't work. >>Of course, we don't know what was made or lost. So, it's not about the call, it's about >>being right.

 

I'm providing REAL-TIME ANALYSIS. A high risk short does not mean taking a short that probably won't work. A high risk trade means taking a trade that probably will work or that offers some edge but that requires a larger stop or higher risk of being stopped out. Most trades are going to be risky to some degree.. many will be high risk.

 

>>I can assure anyone that taking the number of trade calls that appear to be taken will >>lead to lots and lots of losses with the current level of volume and volatility in ES, you >>have just a tiny chance of squeezing out money from ES when you make all those >>trades.

 

Well that's good to have your assurances over my monthly statements. What are you willing to put up (in risk) for assurances? I have statements for everyday that I made those calls.

 

It is no wonder there are so many failed traders. I provide real-time calls that are spot on for free nonetheless, a service that most would charge $$$'s for, and nobody likes it. I guess I could post cherry picked trades from the past or complain like everyone else why you can't make money in this market..

 

Now I remember, this type of negative feedback that I'm getting now is one of the main reasons that I started charging for my materials. Because this has happened before... I'd share my insights for free, stuff that I'd normally charge for, and I might make some minimal request for credit such as a link to my blog. I'd get all kinds of complaints from the free loaders.

 

Yet, no complaints from the people who buy my stuff! And they actually show some initative. and if you want to know a truth that's just if not more motivating then the money.

 

A high risk short means that it probably will work but it has the potential of being stopped out quickly?

 

If it has a chance of being stopped out quickly, it seems to me that the trade could quickly end in a loss. So, if it quickly ends in a loss, how is it a trade that will probably work? Is it that the market is wrong for stopping you out because it should have worked?

 

Do you see why it is puzzling?

 

Not trying to beat you up and your statements are of no interest to me and I do understand your need to convey that you are making money.

At no point in my prior reply did I use the word quickly. Where in the hell did you get that?

Look, I think it is pretty simple.. a higher risk trade is one that either A. requires a larger stop loss or B. has a higher probability that the stop will be hit. I never said anything about how quickly or slowly that you are stopped out and even if I had it doesn't change the probability! Do you think it matters if someone flips a coin fast or slow? As for your whether the market is wrong or right.. I never said anything about that either! That sounds like a personal issue you have.

 

Not trying to beat you up and your statements are of no interest to me and I do understand your need to convey that you are making money.

 

I don't need to convey anything. But when I hear people telling me about why the trades I called out couldn't make money... etc when I have statements to back them up then it yeah it kinda riles me..

 

But I don't care what you believe.. if you want to believe nobody can make money trading futures.. fine. If you want to believe I'm making up calls.. fine.

 

It is not worth my time to respond to these baseless attacks especially when the attackers don't even read what I write. The End. Enough!

I added quickly. Here is your quote: " A high risk trade means taking a trade that probably will work or that offers some edge but that requires a larger stop or higher risk of being stopped out".

 

So, then how does a trade that will probably work have a higher risk of being stopped out? If there is a higher risk of being stopped out it sounds like there is a high risk of the trade ending in loss. If it has a high risk of ending in loss, how can you say it will probably work?

 

You do feel compelled to talk about your statements. Read your prior post and you will see mention of them.

I have final comment then I am done here.....it seems to me that (quite naturally) people get off on tangents that are perhaps unproductive....

 

Clearly the guy is interested in selling whatever it is that he produces....thats the reason he's here.....and each "stakeholder" in this equation is likely to have an interest as follows

 

If I am the site owner, I would like vendors to purchase sponsorships, especially if they are "aggressively" selling their product or service...as this gentleman clearly is doing...

 

If I am a member here I would like to be able to know whether what he sells is worth considering, and here it seems to me that upon closer investigation, most of what he says is "smoke & mirrors"...for example...he "claims" that all his "trades" are recorded and audited at C2 (a third party)...however when pressed to provide a link to that record, the gentleman demurs;

 

"As for C2, I said in the "in the past". I hid my C2 records when I went live because I can make a lot more trading then I was renting out my systems. My historical records still exist but are hidden.. no reason to allow others to data mine my trades. As for my real-time records, they exist too and no I'm not going to share them."

 

Data mining?...give me a break...somethings not right with that....and since many brokers have the capability to produce similar reports on any time frame, its not that the data doesn't exist but more probably that it (his "real" record) simply isn't very good....

 

Personally I think a smart vendor would simply put it all to rest by using "GoToMeeting" or some similar conferencing software and offering to have folks watch him trade live over a period of say a week to ten days.....I did that myself for my first class and it seemed to provide a nice basis for them to consider how my system worked...

 

Just one man's opinion....

    • Why not to simply connect you account to myfxbook which will collect all this data automatically for you? The process you described looks tedious and a bit obsolete but may work for you though.
    • The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.”   Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language.   That alone is a huge breakthrough.   The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you.   They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps.   Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites).   They can:   > Reason across multiple steps.   >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.)   > Remember things.   And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents.   They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring.   What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.”   It gets to work.   First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had.   It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year.   What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter.   Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?"   Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view.   It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month.   The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you.   Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed."   AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people.   AI agents could change that.   BUT, remember…   We’re in inning one.   AI agents have a ways to go.   They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time.   To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight.   Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”.

    • What a wild year.   AI seems to be appearing everywhere you look, Paris hosted a weird Olympics, unrest continues in the Middle East, the US endured a crazy-heated election, and the largest rocket ever to fly successfully landed in a giant pair of robot arms.   Okay, but what about the $money stuff?   Well, this year we've seen a load of uncertainty - inflation is still biting and many businesses have gone down.   Property has been very fractured, with developments becoming prohibitively expensive, while other markets have boomed.   It hasn't been an easy ride, that's for sure.   However, the stock market has had some outstanding results, and for those who know how to trade, some have done VERY well for themselves.   Some have replaced their incomes. Some have set themselves up for the rest of their days on this planet.   How about you? How did you go?
