Interesting TF trade Porter. Why did you not short at 10:35AM EST @ 1216.2 when price exited the range?

Hi Expro,
my rules are flexible. I hope that I can do a short video soon.

Alright, I don't know who else is thinking it but I'm calling it - I think this is bs.

I went through every post you put up - you are new to futures trading since November 2014 as stated in the first post, and you have posted 4 losing days in 9 months, all of them in November and December 2014. You have had no losing days in 2015. You literally have close to a 100% win rate. Your stats are impossible.

You also said that you would post a video of how you do your trades but you keep putting it off due to computer problems - but you can still trade and post screenshots? What type of computer problems? You only need to install one of the many free screen capture systems you can find on Google and flick it up on youtube - I doubt computer problems are stopping you from doing that.

I would also hazard a guess that if your results are real, you would have a mountain of investors ready to shovel money to you to manage and job offers from every bank, prop shop and hedgefund under the sun, so it would be in your best interest to prove it.

Happy to pull my head in and apologise if you can produce proof such as broker statements but you will have to excuse me for being skeptical. It would be a shame if you are misleading the people that are following this journal, such as via hindsight trading or hiding losing days.

Flexible rules??? Then is this system not reproducible?

What is your aim with this trading journal?

Hi,
Thanks your post, if you bother anything, you can find another threads.
Have a nice day.

Alright, I don't know who else is thinking it but I'm calling it - I think this is bs.

Hallelujah!

Even though Opstar has a good explanation for OP's strategy, it's likely to be a fruit of our pattern-seeking brain more than anything else.
What doesn't compute is why Porter would go to all this trouble, he's not selling anything. I guess some men just want to watch the world burn.

Maybe people are PMing him and he is selling through there?

It will be very-very hard for you to understand a guy like Porter, as many said before it is better for you to find some other thread here, because clearly it is not for you.

Porter: keep up the good work, I see you moved to Sweitzeland, how come?

Isn't this the whole point of being on futures.io (formerly BMT)? Porter's not making it any easier.
Other threads, much more helpful than this has proven to be so far, have been taken down in flames. This has been going on for months without a iota of skepticism raised.

Hi,

I'm new on this Forum. I would like to participate just to congratulate Porter for his Journal.
His system, whatever it was, is really the Holy Grail. Or better said, I bet most of us are trading with the goal to get such a performance. Glad to see some achieve it. Just keep it up!

Yeah don't count on it.

This is exactly why there should be responsibility in terms of proof so we don't get twinkly eyed new kids on the block being mislead.

I asked for proof, I got told to go away. Don't need to say anymore. Actions speak louder than words.

Speaking frankly the point of futures.io (formerly BMT) first is your own way to live. Journaling is the same story. Porter doesnt have to prove anything to anyone. He is not a vendor, he likes to trade, and that is it. He is not responsible to help anyone.

That's your opinion and I respect it.
The fact is that on futures.io (formerly BMT) plenty of people come to add value, and not much is to be found here. If nobody brought anything to the table, this place would quickly die. And there's so much effort on the part of moderators to avoid content dilution (from consolidating threads to weeding out bullshit), that a popular thread like this, that adds so little, seems out of place on futures.io (formerly BMT).

Porter is free to do whatever he pleases.
But when you do it publicly you implicitly become open to criticism.

I've learned more from this journal than any other on this site primarily because it has forced me to think, research, and develop a self-generated strategy.

You are free to state your opinion, but please realize that your posts add little value to this discussion. There is absolutely no implicit requirement for journals to state their trading strategy - doing so is completely discretionary.

You've learned that you need to find your own edge from 20 pages of this (and not from the Ask me anything thread?) And that's more valuable than the wealth of knowledge on the spoo thread? The homework thread on ES? The volume profile thread?

I understand we all learn in different ways, but I find your claim hard to believe.


What I'm trying to do is to coax some explanation out of Porter, for my benefit and that of whomever else fails to glean insight from mute entry-exits on a chart. Opstar's got a solid hypothesis, it'd be nice to have it confirmed by OP.
There is no requirement obviously, but if you don't ask you don't get. Again, many a thread has been shot down because of lack of substantiation, it'd be a pity not to share more our of Porter's strategy seeing the brilliant results it has.

I don't see how it's possible to disagree with the notion that the sharing of information, especially on a platform created especially for the purpose, is the right thing to do.

Your logic is like an ABC pattern, if this than that

Hi,

in this dispute I do not want to participate in, who wants to follow this thread, who does not.........
I would highlight two ideas in one post
“Rather, he has forced readers to analyze his charts and learn for themselves “
“it has forced me to think, research, and develop a self-generated strategy”
Have a nice day

Things that go bump in the night help to make us all think, also the view from the top of Pilatus is great. Would love to go back.

@Big Mike

Was this directed to me ?

What size is your account at your broker?

Mike

I started a small account, because it is the student period.

And all the trades you post are cash trades?

Mike

@Porter,

With people questioning the reality of this thread, why not simply post an account statement or any other form of verification?

Only in the last 5 months

Then they would find another problem....

Just to clarify, your charts are CL futures - your cash trades are also CL futures, and not spot FX CFD's? I noticed you list LMAX in your profile.

Given your charts/postings, account size, and not taking losses - you're basically a unicorn.

Mike

Then they would find another problem....

Good trade porter. I missed this one, but went long at 10:58AM EST @ 1145.5 - worked well.

You are back! So now you can post a live video of how you trade!

Nice job! Buy low, sell high.

Do you have a reason why you didn't start to increase your contract ?

You're steady from a long time, I'm just curious

Thanks

I'm glad I took the time to watch and study every post in this trade.

I will implement your trading style tomorrow on a sim trading account and if you want I can post pictures just the one/three contracts as you do it.
