Quote from Andriy:
"The moderators, by the way, are for the most part pretty good. They seem to be sincere and genuinely helpful. Whether or not something else is going on is something Iâm not prepared to speculate on. Since these are my personal observations, I might as well add that there is one moderator who goes by the handle of gio who I find extremely distracting, if not outright irritating. She reminded me of my third grade grammar school teacher, and her approach to moderating is pretty much what one would expect from a grammar school teacher. She goes on and on to make a point and just does not know when to stop. Oh well, probably just my own personality quirk."

And let me just say that I've heard those sorts of comments about Gio before.
If anyone anywhere on the planet wants a good guide as to how to feel more secure in your trades, listen to Gio. I might have given up trading if it were not for her. Okay, so perhaps there are many people here who are so sure with what they are doing that they do not need any help with the psychology of trading. Good for you, really, but then probably Woodie's room is not for you.
Gio is a mainstay, and I consider her a very valuable friend.
Whether or not you use the cci, she can help you to understand more about how to overcome the scarier aspects of trading.
I'm sorry that her style grates on some. But if you have no need of that sort of support, more power to you. Perhaps this is an emotional response, but I just can't see her put down in any way. She's a fabulous and giving person, and has helped many many people.
And Andriy, this was not an attack on you. I recognize that you were just saying that her style annoyed you. I'm not attacking you on this. Just saying that some of us love her very much. And her style is JUST great for the majority in the room. And there's always the ability to mute the sound if it bugs you so much.
If you're one of the few who never has a problem pulling the trigger, accepting a drawdown, etc... then maybe you can only help to reinforce what she teaches. If issues like these plague you, as they do for many traders, gio is always there to offer advice and insights which can help you overcome these issues. She's spent so much time helping us to understand our own trading foibles, through the room and directly through email; the woman deserves an award.
