    Moving Forward: Your Opinion of ET

    Actually, this is a private site and the owners decide what the rules are, including what "rights" a member has. So don't start with that. Site killing? ForexFactory--the forum I gave as an example--looks pretty healthy when compared to ET. In fact, you could argue that such high...

    Moving Forward: Your Opinion of ET

    """Ignored users are prevented from posting in threads you start""" Is how other forums (who are thriving) have implemented this idea. That isn't giving anyone full moderation rights over their own thread. All it does is prevent another poster who the thread starter already has set on...

    Moving Forward: Your Opinion of ET

    Before anything else, I never said a word about current threads I felt require such a feature. This is a matter of personal preference. To turn it on for threads that you start should you feel it is required. -- ForexFactory operates in the 'ignored users are prevented from posting in...

    Moving Forward: Your Opinion of ET

    No surf, people will not be silenced for simply disagreeing. Posters who want a dialogue -- where open minds share ideas -- will still get contrasting views they can learn and grow from. Most forums thrive on this concept. You, however, seem to think the biggest ego wins, and there's not...

    Moving Forward: Your Opinion of ET

    I agree with EPrado; the ability to prevent toxic posters from participating in a given thread is a feature found on thriving forums all over the net. Usually, the option on other forums is to prevent anyone already on your ignore list from posting in a thread you start. -- It appears...

    The best traders in ET

    Technically speaking, a pension/private/mutual/active/value/etc.. fund running a TWAP or VWAP algo to accumulate or distribute shares for their long term holdings is "program" trading. They've employed various techniques to "mix it up" from the standard TWAP or VWAP algos, specifically to...

    hmm.no edges in the markets

    Brokers have agreed that the main characteristics of profitable accounts are: Proper capitalization and lower leverage. This is from studies conducted by a few different brokers now. TA and FX has nothing to do with it. Also, by blindly asserting that all TA fails because most FX...

    Interactive Brokers data quality

    While I'm sure 100ms updates are 'good enough' for the majority of IB clients, the principle issue (I think) is that IB is passing through the data/market entitlement fees to their clients and the clients are not fully getting what they pay for in that respect. Say a client gets level 2 of...

    Forex Trading Vs. Stock Trading

    Yeah, so in context you'd see I was prodding the guy claiming to pump out $100k in net profit per hour at will. Even you have to see the absurdity of such a statement. Instead you just "saw red" over a jest I made at your expense and lashed back. Nice.

    Forex Trading Vs. Stock Trading

    It was a jest. You have critics all over this forum who say nasty things but you lash out over a jest. Also, I think I've mentioned you all of twice in a joking way.. Learn who your opponents are before trying to take the high road over people. -- Not like I was asking anything of...

    Forex Trading Vs. Stock Trading

    Unless you're living in the same magical bubble that Hershey lives in, everything said after the first line pretty much confirms that you don't have the experience to make such a remark in the first place. -- That's not picking on you, that's just an observation. Of course, you're...

    finding the right broker or DMA or ECN?

    Fix this first before worrying about brokers. You're being a typical techie (I'm one too, so I had to overcome this myself years ago) by trying to analyse the every aspect of the tools that 'could' be used without even knowing how to swing a hammer yet. Here's a tip though: Any broker...

    It would never be wrong, it would just become "theater and hype" should the trade turn out bad.

    ET a very good website. What are some of the other websites where traders can post?

    5000% profit overnight with MSFT puts

    A better question would be what the open interest was on that contract. I bet a few people are crying in their beer over the other side of that trade right now.

    Surf, I'm not one of your critics, nor am I here to troll you... but a deal is a deal, and you are violating it right now. You lost, and you gave your word (if that's even worth anything to you) that you would follow through with the result. If your ego won't let you stand idly by as...

    Not even just no more posting or calls, but no contact with the site at all, even if someone comes in asking about you (others will just link to this arrangement to explain why you're not here anymore.) Saying 'unless such and such happens' is just a cop out. 100% committed means 100% risk...
