I don't mind the pressure per se, but anything that distracts my actual trading isn't worth my while. I do like sharing my views from time to time, though, and I'm not afraid to stick my neck out about where I think the market is headed. The way I trade I will typically take a few stabs at a direction before nailing it down, so it would be too time consuming and polluting for this thread to be posting it anyway. For example, today, I took multiple stabs at the long side before finally capturing a larger move. No shorts for me today. PS: I think I posted a few losing days too. Even a few biggies...
