You'd be surprised to find out then that fund managers have been found to recruit people off myfxbooks based on their performance. But that's for another discussion since I'm not talking about industry standards here. Let's not tunnel vision here, ok?

I'm telling you, that there are ways to prove your performance with no doubt of validity. You can tell me all you want how you wouldn't accept a myfxbook as a FX fund manager. But it still doesn't change the fact that is shows a legit performance.

Let me propose a scenario to make it absolutely clear, not for you since you seem to have already made up your mind, but anyone else who is interested:

If I create a account with $1000 with my broker and link it to myfxbook. Trade it for a year with a average gain of 20% a week and turn the $1000 into 1 mio. The myfxbook will display it accordingly. It will de facto PROVE that I did in fact succeed. There is no way to manipulate the data.

This CANNOT be faked, does it hold up when applying for a job in the industry? Idgaf, that is not the point I'm trying to make. But it WILL prove that you actually turned $1000 to 1 million dollars in a year. Or whatever the fuck one would want to prove.

This forum is a place for open discussion of trading, not a breeding ground for delusional wanna-be traders to argue about profitability.

And that is fine, the very first thing I said I don't give a fuck if a person shows proof for his claim or not. I am ONLY pointing out that performance COULD be proven if said person wanted to.

Proof is not something that can ever be verified anonymously. So stop asking for it, you're wasting your time.

This statement is false. Again, you don't have to tell me how a myfxbook link doesn't hold up in the industry. That is obviously not what I'm arguing here.
