    Yes. This is your proof.

    Today, let's have some fun. I'll wager 10k that he will not have the ability to restrain himself from posting some kind of reply, right or otherwise. Bet that is same applies to the other suspects. LOL

    And I'll bet a much larger amount which their replies don't have any influence on the future performance of the account. Which kind of makes any trade pointless, as money speaks it does in my novel.

    Get your popcorn out, people.
    _______________________________________

    Now, no offence, but I'll let you know why I can't take threads like this seriously.

    What is successful?

    Any account demoning a positive balance after 1 week? 3 months? 2 decades?
    10 wins out of 10? 90 out of 100? 700 out of 1,000? (see this)
    1 percent return a month? 10%? 50 percent, but with a worst case? (see this and this)
    5 consecutive profitable months? 20 profitable months out of 30?
    A profit factor of 5 after 100 trades? Of 1.5 after 2,000 trades? (see this)
    What about a martingale that's made 200% return so far, without imploding? (see this)

    What level of functionality is essential to prove trading 'competence' over mere 'luck'? Skeptics and I have recently been arguing this point. If somebody is skeptical enough, it doesn't matter what you show them even if luck can rather be ruled out, they will discover other motives (e.g. accusations of faked results, presentation, anything -- view this, for instance).

    In the end of the afternoon, nothing is totally provable. That is why I consider threads like this to be pointless. And that's why I doubt you will get many responses from serious traders.

    If you're delighted with your own performance, that's all that matters.

    The that-was-then and this-is-now evidence will always be considerably more powerful than just the this-is-now evidence.

    It's almost reached the stage where that statement could read true for the entire forum.
    We have armchair analysts cutting and pasting their stats from Wikipedia all the while citing academic studies
    from recognized sources that are faulty. The newest recent thread is all about suicide, and also the interactive
    area is full of posters drawing a line below and above current price then telling you they know where
    the market is led lol.

    And do not get me started on the commercial associates thatnigeriaforextradingshould have put put behind a paywall that a LONG
    time past.

    This place has become the trading equal of a Philip K Dick novel - fascinating reading but likely to piss you off.

    Sucessfull I would specify in my opinion, as soon as you can earn more then 2 times (greater 5-10 times to compensate holidays and infrstructure and individuals payed possibly) the cash each month (generally over one year) you could get with a fantastic job ( or all your additional opportunity costs for doing so trading, even if you've still the work then the costs are very small and sucess is much more easy to get), so you are compensated for investing some time and work and more risk. And of course the account includes a upward equity curve, quite little standard deviation and smaller max drawdown.
    But sucess only to see in 1 account is often near impossible (possibly when somebody has of his asset and cash in this account), near anyone with sucess spend the shortterm profits in mid and longterm investments and the entire package performance has to be rated as sucess or no sucess. So from 1 account it is hard to say anything about sucess of a trader, only from all resources somebody has.

    I'm successful, but not out of trading. But the definition is covered by me, cause being powerful and a hobby trader in the same time, addresses the significance of trader. I hope you understand that. My trading does not have to be prosperous, because in the front of the term trader, I have the term powerful, which I'm and after all does not actually count or matter.

    Last, but not least, I have one of the best low IQs on this forum. That is just another thing I can beat you at! Nobody can beat my IQ of 75 points! So, calling me Champ, wouldn't be an inappropriate... Got this?
