Moving Forward: Your Opinion of ET

Quote from sheda:

You may have and those are wonderful achievements yet not one is reflected in your trade journal, YOUR Trading from entry to exit money and trade management is at best amateurish at worse hilarious.

.

my trade journal is overall positive since 2002--- -- sure I have had some down years and over hype at times-- big deal--- facts are I am profitable over time. You seem like a cool person, overall. But i don;t understand why you just cant put me and others you dont care for on ignore-- everyone can do this now. It may just solve your problem.

This is EASY to claim as fact but without a spreadsheet documenting EVERY trade, you're just assuming someone will go through 11 years worth of trade history to see if what you claim as "fact" is actually true. No one has the time nor the motivation to do so. You know this, so this is why you claim something as fact when, in fact, we don't really know.

Why not post that spreadsheet? I'll retract my statement and apologize to you if I am, indeed, proven wrong.

Yea right no big deal, just another journal, just another user of many. People can decide who they feel are credible enough to take advice and learn from, every one on this site is no big deal, just users, no big shots who decide they are going to be the ones who make an entire user group accountable for the flaws they see in their methods, just people Contributing to what interests them, no obstacles, no endless repeats of the exact same points to try and crush topics and direct people away, no big deals.

Do you read what you write?

You constantly cried that people invaded your PD thread and told them to get the hell out of it. You wanted total control of your thread.

You're right...having trading threads where guys discuss experiences over the years in the trading world, discussing trading ideas, and having good banter don't belong here.

We need more threads of you trying to hawk a phone that nobody in their right mind would own for way over market value.

What exactly did that thread and the google glasses thread do to better this place?

Please enlighten me.

Quote from marketsurfer:

you and others forget this is not your site. You, by banning users on your thread, accomplish nothing but create a vanilla generic conversation----- thats not what works on the internet. If you want control, start your own site. This site is about the free exchange of ideas, not warped and controlled theads to feed someones ego or delusions as the case may be. surf

Quote from sheda:

Your actions do not display true market experience and your words contain little logic, im sorry but no matter how many times you are shown to be below par you come back with the same stuff, you are a troll man and you are the most damaging person on this site.

Little of value is being left on this site these days, as in timeless posts of debate and discussion, problem solving, a newbie looks through the first page of the trading section and sees nothing but shit, a load of locals arguing about ta. You say ta does not work offer no reason as to why, offer no viable solution, you just want to close down the talks, you are past the point of obsession.

Some people trade using the stars, I don't care!!!!!!!!! I don't need to jump in to every mention of it and shut the debate down.If people don't have the sense to see what works and what does not screw them, yet ta is widely accepted and used. Its not based on the movement of the stars or some other crazy thing. You always say no professional uses it yet this is a retail trading site, so, so what?

If site admin dont catch on to what you have been doing around here soon I see the last of the worth jumping ship, you would never ever ever be spoken down to or have your topic derailed as we witness here on some of the trading forums competing with this site.

This place is degrading into nothing more than a chitchat and its the exact qualities you bring to the site that are making that so. No one here bar the owner has money tied up in the place its no particular loss to us when it goes under. However we are interest in a community and a community like a class room can Not function when the class clown is left facing no consequence.

Well said.

I know of many very experienced traders who used to come on here. They won't anymore.

Guys like Surf have destroyed this place.

Your trading journal is a disaster. Don't take this the wrong way, but that journal is a playbook on how to blow out an account.

What's worse is you have no credibility as you have used wrong prices in your futures trades (using A September entry and a December exit price was a nice try....you have done this more than once). You forget about big losing trades. You blow out losing the equivalent of like 40k in a Crude trade, then make let's say the equivalent of 10k in a YM trade and you call that good trading ?

You "trade" with no exit strategy on the downside. No wonder you never lasted long in the trading world.


I'm not sure if you noticed, but this site is Elite TRADER. Not Elite Money Raiser or Elite Match.com or Elite Selling Things.

It should be a site with TRADERS talking about the markets.

I just want a WYSIWYG editor already.

 

[trefoil]

Yeah, the editing needs updating really really bad. You should be able to highlight some text, right click, and post a link, so that you can link without having to remember the complicated VB code that allows you to do the same thing.
Other than that, nothing else needed. Well, better moderation, but by now I've given up on that.

Quote from EPrado:

I think a great feature would be the ability of the thread starter to have the ability to ban people from his thread.

Give the thread starter the ultimate big stick. Even the threat of it would deter idiot posts and keep a good thread on track.

 

[EPrado]

Hey, he did call the top in the dow after it fell 150 from the high. Gave himself a free 150 point lead. That was impressive.

I am calling the top in AAPL. I'm short at 702.10 starting tonight.

If his Journal is gross positive since inception I will swim to cuba and back in an hour.
