I would like to nominate Trader2009 for his OP'ing the thread on "lifting " or preventing "lifting" of HF STRATS in the grey box forum.

The thread shows how various kinds of people think and don't think. There were few detractors as well.

I liked the sub theme regarding where human observation ends and computers still observe and act. Lots of myths, too.

the worst thread of the year was definitely by traderum trying to "trick the market makers" on the ib demo account.. not even the paper trading account.

Guys I was hoping that this would not turn into a flaming contest.
Lets all remember what you were taught as kids. If you dont have anything nice to say......


Anyway, my most educational of the thread, though still a work in progress is How to research and verify trading ideas.

An absolute goldmine

And for most entertaining definately BWolinsky's Trading. A great discussion on pairs trading going on there
