Do not believe everything you see on this sub

I'm making this post mainly for the newer traders who are just starting out because unfortunately in the beginning of my journey I didn't know how many people in this industry are NOT legitimate and had to learn that the hard way.

If someone on this sub says something like "I'm profitable" ask them for proof, don't believe them right away because there are way too many people on here who are insecure and feel the need to act like a profitable trader on the internet to make themselves feel better about their own failures in or outside of trading.

If someone on this sub posts a win, ask them to show the executions and proof that it's real money unless they mention that they're demo trading in the post. I've seen countless trading gurus on the internet post some massive wins & claim it's a live account but never show proof and eventually get exposed for demo trading.

tldr: there are some gems in this sub but don't believe everything you see being posted here.
