Quote from matilda:
samson,
please explain how tampa was wrong about gio.
I and many others have grown more angry over many months how woodie would allow gio to call exits without entries. Because of this she never admitted to a losing trade.
In my opinion this is plain dishonesty and anyone who thinks she never has a losing trade is very misguided.

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW THE ANSWER?
Have you ever tried to moderate a room with 700 people?
I have and let me tell you this.
It is a VERY difficult thing to do.
When I moderate, I will not even trade because it is almost impossible for me to do both personally.
I have followed gios posting in the room and they are unorthodox because she uses the cci on different timeframes from woodie and therefor she is trading with different entries, exits and targets all together.
This is one of the weakness's in woodies room but it is also a source of strength because once you master the basic cci there are several other traders that take the cci to a much higher level.
It's just a tool, that's it.
I can personally tell you that I post entries and exits late all the time because I am there to trade FIRST help others second and I just can't do both simultaneously but that is not the issue.
You are not supposed to taking other peoples trades!
So why would it matter?
You are supposed to learn the more advanced trading styles that you like on your own time AFTER the market closes.
Have I meet Gio NO
Have I seen her trading account NO
Do I know if she lives in a mansion from all her profits NO
What I do know is that if I wanted to learn what she was doing ALL I would have to do is ask and she would teach me her style.
Then I could decide for myself if her style was suited for me.
If Tampa really wanted to learn what gio was doing he could have done the exact same thing and that could have settled his curiosity but he didn't.
He made a mistake and chose to deal with it with some distastful humor at the wrong time and then it escaleted to stupidity!
This is not a difficult concept to understand, its just the way the room works.
Good and Bad but a heck of a lot more GOOD.
The room is what it is ... but then again NOBODY is perfect so I suggest either getting an education on what it is and taking all the GOOD you can from it and just accept the fact that you will never please all the people all the time.
