Elite posting rate plunges

Quote from marketsurfer:

I am the number one followed person on this site, like it or not.

No technical analysis delusions here.

:D :D

It's detestable, but I had 162 followers on the new site.

What's wrong with posting "why i dont believe in TA" ? I was trying to stimulate discussion and it ends with some southern guy wanting to fight me and a bunch of cursing along with a closed thread? Why do you care so much what I think?

I am happy to be called out on my beliefs, Its just when elite's #1 troll or at least marketsurfer's #1 troll says my posts are what drives folks away, when infact, they are the most read posts on the board with my alias being the #1 followed name---- that's when the troll needs to be called out on what he says. sad really

I am all on for constructive discussion, but you enter lots of threads with your anti TA crusade and continually bash TA. Then it's Forex that shouldn't be allowed on ET. I could say, How dare you think you can determine what is worthwhile to be traded and discussed on ET, but I don't think that is appropriate. You behave like a version of Jack Hershey and he is well read, but not for the reasons he might imagine or desire either, so perhaps you ought not to flatter yourself too much :)

Why do I care what you think? I don't care what you think, but I do care about ET and my honest opinion is you are damaging the forum and I am not the only one of that opinion.

As I said, by all means disagree with TA. I think most TA is a waste of time too, but you go way beyond a constructive disagreement into provocation and when someone responds you turn up all hurting. If you want to spar, be ready for the ripost. If it is not foul language and hate filled but is an attempt to be constructive, then discuss it instead of getting high and mighty.
 
The trouble is that people lost money in the crash, got out or sold on the way up and now they can't bear to look at the new highs. Same reason CNBC ratings are in the dumps.

It is called "Elite Trader" but most of the "traders" are operating $1000 forex accounts.

He made a very valid point for honest, objective consideration and your reaction has to be one of the funniest and most sanctimoniously hypocritical posts on ET. You play poacher and gamekeeper so sure people look in and wonder with amazement at this roadshow, but not for the reasons you imagine surf.

You are trying to turn ET into your idea of what should be traded and how it should be traded and you trash everything from TA to Fx. Just who died and made you king? Wind your neck in sir, you're embarrassing yourself.

By all means believe in your PD. By all means believe TA doesn't work. But when you make TA bashing a crusade and someone calls you out, and you start the How Dare You's... oh boy! Prima donna status is reached.

Great point. This is also likely why the hostility toward anyone they see as a success, particularly if they don't understand why or believe it should be them.

I started to wonder why I even post here. I enjoy adding value and chatting with fellow traders/investors but in the last week alone I have been challenged to fights, and verbally attacked from multi angles. amajor troll personage with a Russian alias literally posts within seconds of me generally with some type of snarky remark, while some southern cat challenged me to a fight since I don't believe in TA. There is some serious hate in the markets right now likely because success is still out of reach, at least for the angriest among them. quite sad.

The average level of contributor posts threads on "trading secrets" and being "cunning" as if it's an edge. There is no barrier to entry and many of the prolific posters are failing in basic literacy. I concur with billjoerob's comments.

If this was the new forums I would have clicked on "Like" :)

while there is some truth to the statement, there are now multiple trader sites, blogs, twitter and Linkedin.
