    Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

    I understand also that they take up a great deal of resources, and if they are of little or no benefit, why should the site owner fool with it? Personally I see no benefit, particularly when so many people aren't really there. Plus it affects one's own trading. If people are trying to learn how...

    Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

    Well, it's good to know that you're now supporting yourself financially through your own efforts. That is after all the desired outcome.

    Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

    There's also the issue of following multiple instruments simultaneously mixed in with the conversations regarding the big game or where one went to eat the night before or the boobs on Kim Kardashian, which generally leads to private rooms, and soon the point of the whole enterprise is lost...

    Why is day trading considered dangerous?

    Or one could put together a trading plan first and avoid losing the money in the first place :) As for the scalping, many people believe that that's what daytrading is. But any trade that's closed out before the end of the day is daytrading. I try to avoid having more than three trades...

    I can tell you that wrb and NoDoji do. Follow them if it would do you any good.

    Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

    It's definitely a quagmire. I've done webinars and chat rooms periodically over the years, but I finally gave it up about a year ago when I realized that nearly all of those who were logged in weren't really there. They were at work or in class or in the car or wherever. And if they weren't...

    Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

    Demanding "proof" of something or other is a bit more than an opposing point of view, particularly when the "proof" is not forthcoming, and the demand is made over and over and over and over again. That then becomes pestilential.

    Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

    That depends on the point of view and how it's expressed. But, as you like.

    Do I care if everybody making extravagant claims! With the new Blocking feature.

    Couldn't care less, blocking feature or not. If the claims are true, good for them. If they're not, who cares?

    It has also been suggested to restore the chat room. I can understand why Baron has been reluctant to do so as they are a giant PITA. But there you are.

    Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

    Why not start with all the complaints you've made in this thread so far?

    Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

    Being curious is fine. Being a pest and making demands is another. An open debate forum? It's a trading forum. If two or more people want to debate something and know how, that's up to them. But it's not a requirement.

    It would appear that you can't press it either. If you were to delve into that, you'd answer your own question.

    Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

    Which doesn't answer the questions I asked. If someone is making claims of one sort or another and he's selling something, he'll be banned. Baron is very good about that, and it's probably the chief advantage of ET. If someone is making claims of one sort or another and isn't selling...

    Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

    Again, what difference does it make? Who cares? Do you want to take these calls? Do you not know what to do during the trading session? If you do know what to do and you don't want to take the calls, then what difference does it make whether someone, or anyone, makes RT calls or not? If...

    Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

    And the "actual evidence" of your claims is where exactly? And what difference does it make? And who cares? (A) I really don't understand why one independent trader needs to evaluate another independent trader. Is it because for a trader to agree with another trader, one needs confirmation...

    Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

    A. The "vast majority" of a handful of people doesn't add up to much. B. I don't see any potential negatives. There were a half dozen of us at TL with responsibilities for various forums and nobody ever complained. The owner thought it was great. C. I'd be happy to stop debating people --...

    The Foresight Thread

    Don't see the end of the world here, but it doesn't matter one way or the other if one knows what to do whether price rises or falls. Worth noting that the NQ is much stronger than the ES or YM, one of the many reasons why I like the NQ. (None of the most heavily-weighted stocks in the SPX...

    Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

    Or we could just see what happens over a few weeks. There seems to be an impression amongst a few that there will be widespread blocking, expressed primarily by those who are most likely to be blocked. Shocking. Playtime's over. No one left to stick pins in. No more kicking one's feet and...
