My secret system delivers again. Sold my puts for $4.20 for a return of 123% $$$$. Since I just made the trade five minutes ago, im sure it not fast enough in real time
Thanks for letting us know, Mike!
Again, your posts are very welcome here, however you want to make them and I believe you did make this trade and made money. Congrats to you and I like you, Mike.
However, the issue that I have is with your portrayal of Mike the world's greatest trader that never has losses. Trading his magical, mystery secret system, that we only see AFTER he's in the money on his cherry picked trades.
Making completely absurd posts like this one that falsely shows a regular income from his trading like a paycheck for a real job:

Besmirching other struggling traders in the real world because they are not in your league using the secret system(that I BUSTED)

Honest traders can tell us BEFORE a trade is setting up, what the reasoning is and WHEN they put the trade on.
Not suddenly, the next day out of nowhere when they are $X,000 in the money every single time, never having draw downs, never being wrong, never having a risk management plan, never having objectives. Always with (often boastful) posts that are missing many of the key ingredients that successful short term traders use.

Mike, I challenged you to show us trades before they happened and you were unable to consistently perform. In fact, in your zest to prove to us that you actually did make a trade, you accidentally copied the YTD results on that account........LOSSES for the year near the end of the year. Yet, all your posts here never show a loss on any trades.
You are invited to join any stock market discussions here(I know that you prefer to start your own threads about your latest secret system profit because that toots your horn the loudest rather than be part of a discussion)

With regards to this being a lame place as you insisted in your last post (because the new owner understands authentic trading, holds you accountable and challenges you to use an honest presentation which the old owner let you get away with-Alex was just a wonderful moderator-metmike is an actual trader/atmospheric scientist and this is much more than a forum-more like a blog/discussion site).

Again, my favorite comments are those that disagree with me. In this case, I've reviewed the problems. Please make a case for them to be wrong by posting like an honest trader here. That's all you need to do, Mike.
Today is the first day of September, 2026. The MarketForum platform is yours to demonstrate to us how, Mike the world's greatest trader uses the secret system, doing this for the rest of the year. Should be a piece of cake if you're legit. I look forward to being proven wrong because I like you, Mike despite this confrontation. I have no choice because my #1 priority at MarketForum is to present authenticity, truth/fact checking and educational information that trumps friendships(even though friendships are a priority and respect for others comes before everything else)

This is how i do it
Using a 10 minute chart
I trade the Mini S & P 500 for 3 points or $150.00
I trade Gold for 1 1/2 points for 150.00
between the trades $300.00 a day
$300.00 x 5 days = $1500.00
$1500.00 x 46 weeks = $69,000.00
Easy supplemental income
++++++++++++++++
Mike, all you need to do is to make good on that thread above by showing us in real time how you do this. As you stated, it's "Easy supplemental income"
There are 4 months left in 2026. Show us how you make $23,000, please. IN REAL TIME!
BTW, no trader anywhere that has been doing this for over 2 decades, like you with that much success(which would be near impossible) making that much money every year is still just trading 1 contract with their orders.
Every legit trader on the planet that grows their account by an order of magnitude+ with a massively successful system INCREASES THE SIZE OF THEIR ORDERS!
I know from experience, starting with just $2,000 in 1992 but also from knowing about every other successful trader doing it.

Mike,
I also invite you to be part of any of our trading discussions, instead of only starting YOUR OWN new threads (which is ok) to get attention for Mike the world's greatest trader.
This below is for everybody, especially me because metmike is the only person that I can control!!!

Because trading is an uncertain game of probabilities filled with uncertain vagaries, an overly inflated ego or a fragile ego can easily get smashed. Defending the ego uses up unnecessary energy, distorts perception, and sooner or later, will destroy the trading
Another way to get some distance between yourself and your trading is to look at it from different perspectives. This is also true in your relationships with other people. In most interactions with another person there are three different and separate perceptual positions.
The self position is looking through your own eyes, hearing what you hear, feeling your own feelings, holding your own beliefs, and making your own interpretations. Most of us live our lives in this position. This is the position that gives you passion. It's where the juice is. From this position we have access to some information, but not all of it.
The observer position is that of a neutral observer, a fair witness. This is a dissociated position. Here you watch yourself and the other person. Here you are in the role of a spectator as you listen to yourself and the other person. As an observer you'll have a third party's commentary. This gives you an impartial view, but if you stay here too long, you could end up playing the role of the cold fish.
The other position gives you the other person's point of view. Here you look at things through the eyes of the other, hold the other's feelings, walk and stand in the other's shoes. This position gives you the ability to identify with and through another person. Here you see the world through another person's eyes and get a sense of what they're feeling. If you live too much in this position, you could be in danger of living in the doormat position.
By going to the observer position, you can gain perspective and neutrality. Some successful traders move to the observer position when they put on a trade. If you're getting too involved in a trade, move to the observer position and look at it from that perspective. At the end of a given trade or at the end of a trading day, take a look at your trading from the fair witness position.
You can also look at your trading through the eyes of another person, for example, a trading buddy, a trading coach, or a trader you admire. What would this person say? What would they think? What, if any, advice would they give you?

metmike: Turns out that applying this to other realms in our lives makes us better human beings who respect and understand others that are different than us(especially in politics)!
1 way that I have always tried to accomplish this is to ask this question constantly: "If I wasn't long/short XX contracts right now, would I put the position on right here and right now?" If the answer is yes, then it's good. If not, then it's time to adjust........trailing stop or just cover if the market has already done the expected knee jerk reaction to the change in the weather forecast which was the main reason to put the trade on.
Has the weather changed to more/less favorable since putting the trade on or stayed the same? But that's just me as a weather trader.
