The Dow Jones Mini is now down 454 and on Elite Trader we get current posts like if I change my font color from red to green will I do better in the next 3 months.
Most responses are total disconnects from current market conditions
I get the impression that most traders here do little one or two point gains ( scalping) and if they do that enough times they will be "someone". There is something to that but ...
So Dow Mini down 454. Anyone got a play on that?
Has anyone made a positional move? Any bets on tommorrow.
I heavily shorted GS via puts on Friday.
This is a large forum with many topic threads. In fact, most of the threads here are
not about current market positions, open positions or anything about such.
Yet, there's a few sections about those topics and
some members use them to talk about their current trade positions...sections such as the
Journal section @
https://www.elitetrader.com/et/forums/journals.29/
Years ago when there was
less sections about anything related to the business of trading...you saw more actual trade talk discussions about current trade positions. Heck, there use to be a chat room too here but people mainly just ended up debating, attacking each other and demanding proof of the trades...resulting in ET management getting rid of chat.
We now see more sections like Psychology, Health & Fitness, Chit Chat, Taxes & Accounting, Hook Up, Politics, Religion & Spirituality and many other threads that are
not about talking about current trade positions or big movements in the markets. Further, many members here are members of other social networks. Thus, they are not talking about their trade positions here...instead...they are talking about their current trade positions elsewhere.
Also, in the past few years...there has been more discussions about scalping type of trading although the members do not use the word scalping.
In addition, there's a private messaging section here now and you can invite whomever you want to your threads in the private section. Thus, if you only want to talk about trades only in private with others...you can do that. Maybe its just a coincidence but when a lot of members were being attacked when they talked about their current trade positions...they moved their discussions into the private messaging section.
Simply, if you're
not seeing traders talk about current trade positions...you may be not using all of the forum resources. For example, anyone can create a Options Journal thread to talk about their current open positions...a thread for
any member to post their option trades.
It only takes a
few seconds to start a trade journal here at the forum for anyone to post their trades, predictions and such.
