I am sure there were many great trading strategy discussion in ET throughout so many years, but it is hard to just search to find out those threads. Would you share the threads that you know? Thanks.
I did not see this thread in that "Hall of Fame" list, but it definitely belongs.... http://www.elitetrader.com/et/index.php?threads/a-70k-bet-that-i-cant-make-a-50-gain-in-2009.148752/
Yeah, that's the best thread but has it been updated to include any new threads within the past year ? Too bad that list isn't in chronological order or listed by the year.

But t is very interesting reading of some of it.

It's because basing decisions on the short term doesn't pan out. Short term price action is "random" in nature; with large funds scaling in and out, HFT trading price discrepancies, "headline" gyrations, etc. People "burn out" as trading requires such intense focus and, in and majority of cases, subjective interpretation and use of instinct. A good neuro psychological treatise on this subject is represented in the book " The Hour Between Dog and Wolf " by John Coates The best probabilities, with the least amount of work and transactions, come from investing in the "sustained" long term trends that are keyed off of the U.S. equity markets and economic cycle. The 21st century has ushered in access and investment into ETFs that underlie the "best" emprically proven * stock universes. A simple, "great", low transaction allocation switching process involves a price cross of moving average using S&P500 and Bond fund proxy. Using the mid cap growth stock universe, this has produced risk mitigated alpha premium over buy and hold .. Nothing fancy ...
