I can't understand why you're blocking out all your entry and exit prices on each trade?

Good Afternoon Charlie,

I hope you are having a good day trading too. (y)

I would have thought the reason was obvious. I am not showing entry, or exit prices, as I wish not to divulge these.

If it was a prerequisite set by the OP, that it was a must to divulge these also, then maybe I would have.

Best
John.
 
Is says quite clearly in the first post "show your trades."

Apologies, but just showing us a daily PnL figure with not 1 trade 2 back it up its pretty meaningless.
 
John,
I urge you to edit post #141 while you've still got time because, as it stands, it's sending out a message loud and clear that you're either making it all up for the 'lulz', grooming naïve newbies or trying to discredit T2W. Maybe all three.

If you're for real, you seriously need to re-think what you're doing here. Big time!
Tim.

Ok

Edit to Post 1 ....Consider it a condition to post that you show at least the entry and exit details of your trades ...Monetary gains and amount per pip or point is up to the poster

You are very right Charlie it is pretty meaningless. Actually without knowing what I do, or how I do it is very meaningless. Yes I gave a little taster, and was going to post a full and frank method in the new year, however I will be rescinding this offer as well, why, well I'm not cut out to be a teacher, and more importantly I wish not to miss trading opportunities by posting on threads.

I was just posting to show that making a profit on a consistent basis can be done, and more importantly it is being done. Why, well to inspire others, that is all.

I shall take heed of your words, and without wishing to divulge any further information, I shall take leave from posting anymore on this thread.

I wish you all the best.
John.

John,

You are clearly a talented trader and it is fair enough you do not want to go out of your way to teach others, but it would be greatly helpful for myself and others if you continue with the way you are posting only not bothering to blank out your entry and exit points.

Cheers
 
What I genuinely find most interesting is how times have changed.
This sort of thread with someone supposedly making 10k per day would have been cat-nip in the old days, here! I should know.
Fox would have been inundated with questions and pushed for further info.
However, it's been very quiet.
Exactly the same with DowJones on another thread where he was posting in a similar fashion. (just posting how much money he was supposedly making each day. A bit like someone posting their wage slips each month on facebook!! lol)

Are people just more cynical than ever on trading sites now?
People have finally woken up to what is actually likely and possible/realistic? Jaded after seeing so many people exposed as fraudsters over the years who seemed convincing at first?

That would be an explanation for some who have been around for a while and seen it all before, but why aren't the newbies interested? No newbies left in the retail world?!! Just a more cynical/brighter breed coming through?

All the newbies know how to make money you dont need to have a complicated trading plan.

BTFD.

One day (soon) though, they'll all come flooding back. ;)
 
A few more trades, and decided to add EUR/JPY to the repertoire.

I am more than thrilled with the week so far. :clap::clap:

There is a direct correlation between the increased profit, to the increase in trades taken/hours put in.

I must admit all I want to do is just trade, but that is coming at the expense of other issues that need my attention to be left to the wayside. I wonder if you can hire a PA on a weekly basis.

In his defence I can fully understand that if he has/may have made an apparently near flawless system he obviously doesn't want to give out his secret and thus doesn't wish to post entry/exits.

However IMO it would take a bit of a genius, with a heck of lot of time on their hands, to actually decipher any such system from a mere handful of entry/exit values.

But for what it's worth, give or take, Mr Fox has apparently traded his way to £41,704 in 2 1/2 weeks, so well done him and thanks for posting.

My only question, which will now obviously remain unanswered, would be what is his usual/normal/standard trade entry size is?

True, but he was going somewhat crazy with an "all in" and "ratchet it up" methodology over the space of 3 or 4 days... at least Mr Fox is stretching it out over 2 /12 weeks ;)

Everyone knows now that posting supposed statements such as is the case here has always been shown to be nonsense in the past. Nothing has changed here either so nobody cares any more as we all know that nothing will be shown that categorically proves the trades were taken. For all we know there are two demo accounts being used where trades are placed in either direction and a screenshot of the winning one shown. That presumes that there is even an attempt at doing that as the fact that the prices have been photoshopped out probably means the trades were also fabricated.

What possible reason is there to remove the entry and exit prices? and with the success level of these ongoing trades you would be a billionaire in almost no time at all. It is all nonsense and any one who has been around here long enough knows that to be the case as there is always no real proof given.

There could be many reasons for hiding entries/exits/size , like for example averaging down/martingale practices , Yen based accounts .... etc .

This is how things can all get taken out of context. see bold

No day was 10k ??

In fact the average day over 13 days was approx £3200 per day

As you would expect - the days he took over 12 or 15 or more trades - he made more money ( normally)

You don't have to be an expert to work it all out - but you do need to be experienced and read between the lines.

I questioned John initially when he posted a few results - was it on his live account.

He confirmed along with at the time that he specialised on the GU and had been for quite a long time and that then his normal targets seems to be 5 - 10 trades and maybe targets of over £2k per day.

To me that all makes sense.

If he was using a say £100k account then 0.5% stake size with stops normally under 20 pips would be £25 per pip say 4 lots or so per pip.

The fact that his trades generally made £500 to £1200 then he would be after 20 to 50 pips per trade.

However he mentioned that being on the one min chart and being flexible - he would take say 10 pip against a 10 pip stop - and also that sometimes he would risk just a few pips as a test to see if he had caught a move.

The fact that he stated he used approx 0 5% stake size - I therefore think his capital might be more than £100k - it might be £150k or even £200k

This is because some of the trades he took in the time period of posting did not make over 20 pips - and so I think he might have had 10 -15 pip stops and 15 -20 pip results bagging over £1000 a trade and so therefore on stakes of over £50 per pip - or say 8 lots.

It took me 6 years to go over £50 a pip and up to £150 a pip using my own capital.

I don't think John as gone over £100 a pip as then on 0 5% stake size and 10 pip stop then he needed a £200K capital account - risky with a broker if the FSA only guarantee £50 k - I had thought it was £85k - but not with brokers?

With regards to his method - surely all experienced intraday traders know what he is doing - and the fact that John does not want to divulge it - I will say no more here.

I reckon if he had been posting wins everyday of say £50 -200 - nobody would have bothered

If he had posted losses of £20 -100 a day - nobody would even raise an eyelid - thinking - a newbie.

The fact that he made £41k in 13 days equivalent to say £60 -62k in a trading month puts him in the top 0 5% or less of all retail traders - that's if he can maintain it over say £40k per month through out the year

Now the real questions everybody should be asking is

How long have you been trading John ??

Have you had other months over say £40k

If you have excellent - well done.

I can see weaknesses in John's method - and he himself knows what they are - ie not enough RR's over 3 + and win ratios ideally need to be over 70% ongoing

Other than that any newbie reading this should understand - similar methods can work - day in day out

I needed over 6 yrs to find my way to place large stakes and even then I hit my wall and no longer do over 10 lots nowadays - this is after 13 years and 7 yrs Full time

I hope John has made it in under 3 years - and if he has - well done - just don't go off the rails

Regards


F
