So why is everybody having a go at Memphis then

So why is everybody having a go at Memphis then

I think it's just the fact that for years he has been posting some astonishing figures based on short periods such as daily or weekly, yet when pushed for a quarterly or annual statement such as the one I posted recently, he gets defensive.

Draw your own conclusions.

Probably a few ways you could look at this, I lean toward the first one personally

Take 1: Who cares honestly

Take 2: Guy gets caught posting fake profits once… OK, mistakes were made etc, but then gets caught a second time proving he's not learnt his lesson. In baseball and US law, you only get 3 strikes for example... Pretty sure nobody wants their forum spammed with fake gains and mockery of the genuine process.

Take 3: A very rough rule of thumb in performance based fields like trading, peak performance is often up to 5x higher than the actual average

Take from that what you will

I think there's a 4th...

As a full-time trader I'm genuinely interested to know how closely Memphis' long term profitability aligns with the impressive short term gains that are regularly posted. If they don't want to share this then that's their prerogative, but as CS says above, conclusions will be drawn.

I don't believe someone is able to do it for years for evil greedy purposes. For self-conviction or something mental related maybe, but not for a scam-profit.
