Serious Traders Group

[der_kommissar]

Btw H3, if you have a shit load of seats rented in various exchanges, what the fuk are you doing wasting your time on this site

Don't tell me you picked up your strategies from this site, as I will find that very hard to believe!

Apart from the usual good points in relation to "YOU", the trader, the only worthwhile post I have ever seen on this site, is the recent one by OG - how the fuk did I miss something so simple, and I traded index options for over a year - just shows I hadn't a clue what I was doing at the time

Which post, I'm curious?

btw, I agree with you that a chatroom can be productive...Not everyone is hyper focused on the next tick in the market and good discussion can definitely be productive.

Almost everything is automated, I have much more time reading your delightful comments. Just killing time till I get that call that says am in remission then I be gone. Am sure many will be happy of that day and so will I.

Actually, I have read some very good ideas from earlier posts, but one has to dig cause most of what on here now isn't worth much.

Look at Optionguru's new thread on straddles - most can not see any value in it, and see it as just another one of the many threads that end up nowhere - but, there definitely is value in it, if you think about it!

I might be a "thich" Irish Paddy, but I am not a fool

People tend to forget that trading is no different to other professions - it is very important with whom you associate.

One thing is for sure - the threads on these forums are not worth a shite, as 99.999% of them are nothing more than people talking out their arses, and as H3 rightly says, only a handful actually trade, the rest are what I call...

Side note.

Some years ago, on another site, I joined as a newbie, read a few books, bought a few courses, and knew it all, of course

The whole site was picking on 2 people - I said to myself, if everyone is against these 2, then they must know something - which they did, well, one of them anyway, and I befriended them both, and traded with one for a good bit.

During that time another came on board - commodities background - the truth is compared to him, the rest of us hadn't a fukin clue - if you want to really learn about trading, then get close to a BIG commodity trader - as they trade pure supply and demand, the tenants of which can be applied to non commodity markets, such as index futures.

If you think I am mad, I am, but I know how to differentiate between dim wits and those who actaully know what it is they speak about.

Watch OG, he is no fool, believe me - but he is too clever to give the real good stuff away, which he is of course 1000% correct

I set up a few private threads on this site in the past, but most who joined do not trade regularly.

If anyone is interested in joining a new group for serious traders, then please PM me with your interest.

If you do not trade regularly, then it is not for you. No FX traders please - any other market is welcome - stocks, commodities, options, futures, bonds - or, the usual suspects!

There will be no pressure or any bullshit - just a place for a group of serious traders to have some serious discussion, away from all the usual rubbish!

Thx.

I would be interested but I am a swing trader not a day trader. So I may go days before I have a trade and then several days that I trade frequently. I tried to PM you but your profile is private

Everyone is essentially a "Serious trader" ....we're all here to make money. -- and nothing is more serious...then money

But I'm personally not interested in joining a so-called 'serious traders group' --
I'm just here to pass time and for small talk. I already know how and what to trade -- and I'm not interested in helping/teaching ppl or talking about it.

I'll tell you my secret.
Convexity = Volatility + Flexibility + Asymmetry.
I am spike trader, I trade ++ disequilibrium.
Which is liquidity hole + liquidity takers.
Flexibility is dynamic take profit.
Asymmetry is benign losses.

I don't trade when market is in contradiction (Negative Feedbacks).
Path of least resistance has to be the same as liquidity taking.

Neither am I - but I get bored talking to myself!
