I would have made a bit more if I had followed my exit rules on both trades.

I'm not interested in hearing about your winners. I would assume you have some.

But short of posting trades for 200 days I guess it is kind of pointless. I should just mind my own beezwax. I don't think Enoch was sincere anyway.

You said you had repeatable methods for beating the market. I would (sincerely) like to see them.
By the way, taking on substantially more risk, whether it be margin, options, or whatever, and then generating higher returns than the market, is not beating the market. You have to account for risk-adjusted returns.
