Idiots and Trend Following Threads (Chit-Chat)

ET is largely like CB radio, anonymous people yelling all kinds of claims.. I'm looking at my entire chart analysis toolkit and trying to determine what part of it I leaned from ET.... It's just not that much.

You can post the Holy Grail here and know that it is still safe actually, might as well go to your local kindergarten and give it to the kids.

I've recommended various brain nutrition supplements at various times, [hint: there is not much Omega3 in your food and you can google on brain nutrition and maybe find out things!!] that is the best I can think of to do in the way of actually helping anybody.. and oh yes, I posted a lot in threads about helping people to sleep better at night.. I really never lose sleep over anything, I mastered that art decades ago..

When I first came to ET I was in a jolly good mood. Nowadays I feel like ET just destroys a good mood, sort of like a visit with a depressed and confused friend in a mental hospital.. no way can you leave there feeling good about life...

not necessarily, why did Abramovich buy Chelsea? It's unhealthy, to some, to be rich and unknown at the same time. Recognition by the masses is what most want on ET, of course there are various levels of membership here.

I don't know much about many things in life, but of this I'm very sure: the less time any of us spend inside these pages here, the more money we make in actual trading.

Misinformation-to-reality ratio in ET runs at least 10/1 if not heavier. If I were trying to learn about trading mostly or solely from this site, there would be zero chance for me to succeed. Some interesting tidbits and amusement, that's about all. No different than any other anonymous message board, it is simply what it is.

Keep things in perspective :cool:

...
My motivation is really just to give back to this site that has provided so much to me. I've made much money with ideas I've picked up or researched here and I like to contribute back. I also use it as a way to meet up with other successful traders. ET, and specifically the p/l thread, has put me in touch with some amazingly good guys, most of whom I've met in person, all of whom I chat with regularly. What hanging with these guys has shown me is that there is gobs of money to be made in the markets at any time, in any environment and with far less downside risk than what most would consider possible.

Quote from EricP:

...In trading, you don't always have role models available to you. You don't always have people that you can look up to, and people who's achievements you hope to match some day as you develop as a trader. The blotter thread allows you to follow a trader, often daily over time, and see their progression as they develop their skills. Watching Dustin or Szeven's progress in recent weeks/months has been amazing, for example. Congrats to them both.
...

Also, as others have mentioned on this thread, I have met a number of extremely successful traders through interaction on ET, and I owe a thanks to Barron for making that possible. ...
Best of luck, and happy trading!

..About 2 months ago i stumpled upon this site, and read comments / reviews about the company which i learned from...........it was like a bucket of cold water thrown at me. It opened my eyes to many things. I now have changed my methods and my account is slightly above where i started 2 years ago. Thanks to this site and everyone here!!
