Who should I ignore?

I'd been wondering about that, too.

For the moment, I'm still giving him the benefit of the doubt: I think his agenda is maybe only "self-aggrandizement" rather than "self-promotion", and I do think the distinction between the two is a significant one (and I'd think the moderators might, too?).

I've also noticed that he pastes duplicate content from "Quora" in to the forum, in responding to threads (I think it's probably content he's originally written himself, though: I'm not suggesting that he's stealing it).

He does seem to like to tell us "how he trades".... like he (or any one of us) has a monopoly on brains and therefore should deserve the consideration and respect of others. (Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable with his apparent style.)

Of course I'm guilty of the same, so to speak.

"Buy Support
Sell Resistance
Chase Breakouts
Use Stops".

Gomen to all I've offended with my pontificating.

Cocky people generally are not helpful souls, they rub me up the wrong way. And they may even be more interested in winning an argument than being trustworthy. We will see.

Good observation, but I think it’s a personality thing, as I see very little correlation between cockiness and intelligence. Just comes with the territory sometimes I guess.

Your dealing with the most selfish with hyperinflated ego species in the universe called traders.What did you expect?It`s a miracle when some of that group species shares something of any value with you, you should be dancing.

TDMA stays. Although a little cocky, he has IMO some good industry knowledge.

Thank you, the feeling is mutual. I'm delighted I've stirred up such interest with so few posts.

I'm thinking of ignoring TDMA. He asks who is an accredited trader on this site. This clearly makes a difference to him so the implication is he will go on to treat non-accredited traders less favourably or ignore them altogether. Maybe he has a positive reason for asking this - we'll soon know.

I can tell you now, it is called a normal distribution and those on the extreme sides are either new and inexperienced or have an abundance of knowledge from professional environments. Then of course there is everyone in between, very occasionally someone rises through it all, but for the most part it is a journey with many twists and turns which no one has any chance of following, and therefore 99.99% irrelevant to anyone but themselves. Or perhaps it is about making sure non-accredited traders have a chance to find success, so many possibilities.

You just had to put that one out there, tut tut, so you're not accredited either as an investor nor as a trader.
