Especially when you see a bunch of bullshit like they are trading 10 lots and have a 95% win ratio with a 5 tick stop and 50 tick target. The more I think about it the more I want to ban these douchebags.

Well, that one's pretty clear !

It seems as though that individual has sold 10 lot at the high...probably covered and long from 1866. I'm sure we will see posts to that effect if they are not already out there....It is an amazing call however.

I believe it was a 4 tick (one handle) stop though...plenty wide to let winners go in ES.

Is there a way to prevent threads from showing up in the feed?

Maybe I'm missing something, but why is the CME opposed to you doing something that may be beneficial to tracking progress or competition? And what exactly is their role or say in you proposing such a competition or software? I thought they only provide the data but I could be wrong. Is there a thread about this?

No thread. It's all about the data, and they won't let me run a contest without me paying data fees for each user in the contest.

You can exclude certain subforums. Click 'New Posts' on top of futures.io (formerly BMT), then on top right you'll see a "Filter subforums listed" button. It is mainly useful if you want to not see threads from forums that don't apply to you, I wouldn't exclude the announcements subforum which is where this thread is.

If you've read the entire thread, then you know that I am trying to protect the integrity of the forum.

Your last few posts do nothing but make the situation worse instead of trying to improve it.

This should be a non issue. It's not that hard to look at a chart and see that the miracle trade probably didn't happen. Otherwise people sharing what they see or think they see and sharing what they know or think they know can be taken with a grain of salt by the viewers.
There is, or has been a great willingness by some to offer help to others in their journey to learn how to trade successfully. That spirit should be encouraged at all costs and not degenerate into negativity.

I think the best way too prevent all this BS is with Bigmikes intervention, Bigmike has too ask them too show the charts with plot executions on and if it is posted on the journal section, elite or normal, then the journal has too include all the trades including losers.

If no reaction from the thread starter then just close the thread. IŽam against banning members, I think this will give the site a bad impression. There is nothing wrong with someone posting trades as long as he is posting all the truth including losers.

This won't address the problem. Most people here use NinjaTrader, it's easy to use Market Replay and mock up any chart the way you want it.
