I feel the same way about pointy. What good is anything if we can only react to trolls, changing the heart of a troll, now that is a challenge.
Ok lesson 1 for Pointy. This is Number 5, 1948 by Jackson Pollock How does it make you feel? To be fair the original painting is large so make it as big as you can then move you eyes as close to the screen as you can without strain.
Ok, I've looked. This is caused by a glitch in NT8 reporting where it struggled with trades opened more than the current day old but closed today. It has something to do with which TIF (Time In Force) is selected I think. There have been way too many updates to NT8 since then but I'd guess that was it.
@Max E. I see you liked then unliked my post about not just reacting to trolls. So about Poindexter being a troll. I was scratching my head about the 14th of March 2018, the day Pointy shows a chart with 'proof' something is very amiss. I posted it must be a bug but I realised a bit back that I would/should have been highly startled by a glitch of that magnitude however I remembered nothing of it. I assumed that the chart he was posting was one I made but no.. it is one he created. He took a tabular report summary from early in the morning: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...r-right-wing-views.319067/page-6#post-4623837 Then added it to a chart from late that same day! https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...r-right-wing-views.319067/page-6#post-4623837 Creating this composite, so the figures on the table were correct but created way before the time of the chart. Now this is a difference between actual traders and trolls. A trader might be a prick here in politics but he won't do something like that.
There is lots of ways to game a simulator, for example, the second something prints at the bid or offer you instantly get the full fill, you could easily flip back and foreword from the offer to the bid all day and get instantly filled and put out 100% winners if you wanted too.
Yes, I have said many times anyone with basic database skills can just edit the DB directly, in this case SQL. You can't even trust nightly reports from say Dormen as these can be faked from any report generator. But look at what he did there in the last post. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...r-right-wing-views.319067/page-5#post-4623526 (Edited link above to correct location, scroll to chart with infinity pool joke) And look down a few posts from above and you will see an intermediate half hourly chart not showing red yet at 11am. Much chance I foresaw this day and put that in? I was on fire that day, I was a little over exuberant (full of myself clearly) however I'm not expecting you to be straight here but you do know that the same guy who sank to attacking people's mothers a day or two back created a deceptive chart for pure badness.
Speaking of "being all he can be" his fondness for Photoshop makes me wonder a little more what Destriero actually saw for his $1000. No harm in giving to charity etc. but while he was hunting Xela and nobody else paying attention, I've seen this pattern of really deep dishonesty with pointy. What he says and what he does not sometimes... One can make the he is just an over-reaching troll argument and that might stick but above is proof he edits documents to deceive unless... he is literally a moron and did not grasp what he was doing...
