Forgive me if this has already been mentioned or already exists, but perhaps there can be a designated location on the site (or a webinar, etc.) for newbies to get solid advice on spotting fakes and identifying various "tricks" pretenders use to gain 'rockstar status'. The same could apply to arming newby defenses against shady vendors.
obviously you still didn't get that just like you can write whereever one wants to read your comments, others are free to ignore you - we call this democracy. Everyone can tell whatever he or she wants - but fortunately, nobody is forced to read or listen.
In addition, I can't see the "progress" that you name. Up to now, the community only traded in some of the most-read threads for some self-acclaimed witch-hunter with genius reorganizational proposals for others and repeated public whining about who did which harm to his great existence.
Living up to the goal of post #1 of your own sporadic "journal" and correct what you call your "bad behaviors" would be a good start.

It doesn't matter if your mentor is trading. It matters if your mentor pretends to trade and doesn't.
It seems the question pertaining to this tread went over your head.
It seems the majority don't mind fake online traders, and honestly, that doesn't surprise me.
Does the majority prefer to dream, rather than achieve real success?
Understand that trading is more about psychology than it is a certain method (e.g. gap trading method by Mr. Lund)
So if you became successful at trading gaps, it would be more about what you learned about yourself than it would
be what Mr. Lund shared on his trading method.
If he pretended that he was a live trader and he wasn't, yet at the same time you became successful using his method then you of course would be happy. But again it's more about what you're doing psychologically in your trading than it is about any one method.
Fake traders, regardless if you learned something from them are still fake traders. Nobody I know likes a liar. Others may excuse the liar for lying because they made some money. That's funny...
Your opinion seemed easily understood from your post.
If you have more to add then use the information from this one article in your argument.
Don't just quote an article and tell people to go read it.
If I've misunderstood you, then my apologies but you're not being very clear.
I shouldn't have to go read an article to understand what you are saying.
I just can't believe people don't mind liars. That's crazy to me...
I don't care if someone made money or learned something about a method or not.
Screw the screenshots where sometimes things are blocked out and other times
they are not. Screw the phonies, screw the egotistical, attention seeking back patters, etc.
It's ridiculous. It's a disease in the online trading communities. There's no way to eradicate it.
People are going to do whatever they are going to do. Don't mind a liar...that's fine. I do.
Sorry but every one that is going to a forum knows that they are exposing them self's and that there will be reactions too it and if you do not like that then do not post in a forum. If you have a normal question regarding someting that is going on on that thread you expect a normal answer and not a place on the starters ignore list. That is what I call democrazy.
A journal is all about analyzing your trading, entry price, setup, stop loss (below a certain support or above resistance level) , targets (why and how do you get the target), improving of your trading etcc.
Describing a setup is just a small part of trading.
