lemme just... step in here between you two for a second, guys..
Gary, Truff's right, with all due respect.
When I call a trade, it's a trade I am currently making, or just made - my real money is on the line.
Sometimes I will post an observation such as, I think EUR/USD is going up/down/sideways, whatever... then I ask for "thoughts" from other traders.
If you post in such a way that a trader such as Truff believes you are actually making the trade, then, yes, you should post a "scratch or nix the trade" post to keep members updated.
After all, this is live and real time, and by posting a trade or calling a trade or whatever, maybe someone is apt to be persuaded by your post.
Now look at it. You're long gone, axed the trade or whatever, meanwhile the other trader is still in the trade possibly getting wiped.
Whenever I post a trade or call a trade, I do post a follow-up if there is a change.
Even if I take a loss I will post it, and that I am flat, or re-entered, or changed directions, etc.
I got a trade on now short USD/JPY and I am STILL in it. I have all intentions of posting an update should I change course or close the trade.
So, my ruling goes for Truff in this matter - he has a genuine issue.
