Perhaps you thought I was attacking your style or postings on FF...
I wasn't. They had been generalizations.

As for private information, I disagree with you.

Limit your account balance and trade dimensions but...
showing your transactions, draw down, percentage gain, consistency, and compounded growth over time
is barely comparable to revealing your salary or mortgage details.

Have you been obliged to? Absolutely not.

My point was more about trading being a performance action.

I could read a fantastic novel about golf, but I would likely do better (initially)
getting courses from a club pro.

I would spend all my time talking to Kovner and Jones. I would not even look in Douglas' direction.

Though Douglas writes well and it'feels' good, Kovner and Jones have actually played in the markets.
They have made billions. Trading is a functionality action.
