The way justtrader79 explained how he 'identified' JoeD real name is at least dubious. It is not that easy in my opinion.
Besideways, the guy claims to be an expert in Internet searching, but when he accuses JoeD of posting under 4 different identities in a forum, he doesn't even bother to check (or post) whether all accounts have been accessed from the same IP address. An expert would definitely start his investigation by checking it and could do it pretty easy. So I'm very sceptical about this part of justtrader79 revelations.
What bothers me the most is the accusation that JoeD changes his charts after the fact to prove that he's always right. Has anyone followed his blog to confirm or deny it?
Sorry to place it a trading discussion, but market-geometry-with-joed topic seems to have no followers so there is no one to discuss it with.
From what I understand 3 of those were confirmed? Joed signed his comments as Joed? Maybe the 4th is different as there is no info about how he identified him. But 3 are confirmed by the signature.
And If I am not wrong only the owner of the site could have a log with IP addresses? I am not sure.

Very long term Russel 2000 chart. Seems like a perfect Trend direction ABCD... portends much higher prices.

And that is another reason why I think this accusation is ridiculous. If joed made an effort to create four accounts in order to disguise himself, how could he sign the posts with his well-known nickname? As far as I know a semi-skilled IT man can easily identify IP of posters on a standard forum.
But that's not the point in my opinion. I'd rather concentrate on the effectiveness of his methodology given accusations of changing charts after the fact. If this is true the statistics he shows are also in question. That's why I'm interested if anyone noticed charts changes from time to time on joed's blog.

No. Only the owner of the blog can do it. Blog is on the separate external server. And he can do it only when he logs visitors. And even than not always he can track IP address of commentators.
