I think there are gems and insights by real traders on these forums. Problem is, they get beat up so bad, they don't reveal much. Give some insight into how they trade, followed up by 200 posts about how it won't work. To find the diamonds, got to wade through tons of crap.
A lot of people complain that the forums are full of crap and filler but almost ALL forums are regardless of the subject matter.
Yes. If you are into quantitative based trading I would highly recommend this forum. Heavy math oriented...but filled with top notch traders. http://www.wilmott.com/
Yup, guess so. But wish I could just pick a few brains to understand the strategy some people are using. They'll reveal a little, then come in all the mud slinging. Hell, I think there are a lot of successful ways to trade. Would rather see more of the "this is how it works for me" forums.
i doubt people would really give detailed descriptions of how it works for them on a forum though....
perfect example... you actually do and how many people actually follow what you tell them to do exactly lol... humans are funny creatures...
Like I should talk since I dont listen 100% either to everything.. lol but even following 50% of your stuff has paid off great dividends...
