It's probably time for me to stop and move onto something more productive - you've been shown for what you are.

    Would help you to know I'm not seeking your trust?

    I'll not be doing it again. Grandiose mistook.

    You forgot to mention at a time when the bad news had already been priced in, and only good news would signifantly move the market.

    I'd run a mile from such a strategy. You scary.

    Getting nervous over fictitious trades is kinda weird.

    I get the impression there are high frequency swing traders here, buy / sell every other week. That would make me a nervous wreck.

    I doubt many would argue that drip-feeding into an investment is not a good strategy, but that's not the point here. You are a liar and no-one should trust any trade you say you've made
