why traders hide their records history?

Thx Kenny !

And thx Steve for pointing out that I DO NOT have a 100% win rate. Thx Kenny for also pointing out that as long as there are open trades it's not 100% win rate. I have not made such a claim either.

But the focus of this thread is not about 'my' performance.

Once again, as Kenny has mentioned nobody here seems to be able to offer a logical explanation as to what it is that we are HIDING which a potential 'investor' (NOT another trader) cannot deduce from what is already available. All it takes is a little bit of Math.

By making baseless, unfounded, unsubstantiated & wild accusations against traders who are trading profitably merely because they've chosen to keep their trade history private and calling them scammers is ludicrous to say the least.

What they imply by such remarks is basically that we have one set of data which is hidden in the history and something different that is made available to the public. If that is the case back up your theory with factual evidence and make it known to the entire community here and most importantly to the myfxbook team so that they can check it out themselves and fix it if anything needs fixing.

And the point I made earlier seems to hold true once again - that it doesn't seem to be genuine potential investors who are so bent on being able to see the trade history but other traders like Olivier here.

Here's a copy of the PM Olivier sent me :

Hi Olivier,

Thx.

No I'm not from India and therefore don't know whether or not there are brokers over there. Sorry.

This was the PM he sent me yesterday. He 'likes' my view one moment and then calls me a scammer in the next breath ? Need I say more ?

My tip to all of you who are ready to manage funds and are looking for investors, is to look at your existing circle of contacts. You'd be surprised at the potential investors with significant funding you'd find. Once you get your foot in the door and if you perform well, rest assured you will not need to look for investors, they will come to you by word of mouth.

Have a great week everyone !

This what i liked about you! but it seems that you are finally here to find potential investors.

I didn t call you a scammer, i said that people should be naive to inevst money with somebody who has something to hide.

But with you there is a big doubt! and with all this hidden facts on your accounts, nobody cannot be 100% sure that you are honnest.

Something i find out more is that you hide your broker too!! BUT WHY!! what is the purpose to hide your broker name????

If you are 100% clean, so you could just open you balance, history, broker to prove it.

Ok let's imagine that you dont want to open to history, cause you dont want we copy your trades: this ok i can hardly understand, but i understand.
BUt for the balance: what does it change to know it or no? maybe you trade your account with 100$, which is not hte same to trade with 10 0000 or 100 000$, so for me as investor it is a big difference!

But i reapet it one more time, Novice investors should be very carreful, There are lot of good speaker, lot of dream seller, in the forex market!

I think a key difference is scalping has serious limitations when exposing your broker, technique etc...

However, if you are doing something that requires more discretionary trading, then everything is ok.

This reminds me of a thread on FF about leverage. Most people on this thread said anything over 1:10 or 1:50 is rediculous and not needed. I think the key thing we need to understand is that we all don't trade the same way and that is why the differences in exposure most likely. :)

Kenny has a good point, but I know Kenny is an honest, giving person. How many of those are on here? So I would think being 100% skeptical is not a bad way to be. Too few honest people in this business....

Edit: I think an honest person would not mind you being skeptical. As they tend to be skeptics to find other honest people as well.. I don't mind someone challenging me. I will be upfront with them and show them. If someone wants to 'steal' my technique, then so be it unless it is something that will not have an edge if I do expose it. :) That is just me, not everybody is like me, I understand that... :)
