benwm, judging by your growing list, wouldn't it be easier and less time consuming to simply list the few threads that don't qualify?
I'm guessing ET has existed over a decade or so, and ten HALL OF FAME candidates per year seems 'about right' (less than one per month), so as discussed earlier, when we reach 100 threads my work is done. 100 threads sounds a lot to some, but it still probably represents less than 0.1% of all threads ever started. That leaves 30 places up for grabs. I have kept a few borderline threads back so if we get no other suggestions over the next couple of weeks I'll post them. I've gained a lot from doing the research so it's good to hear via PM that some of you have also benefited. That was the original intention. These HALL OF FAME threads are starting points for discussion, that is all. Markets change, strategies change, technology changes...but in many ways the markets remain the same, and the quality threads are everlasting... (End of cheesy post )

Here's one I found but couldn't remember the one I actually was looking for. Best (and Worst) Trade Ever http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=55445&perpage=6&highlight=brex&pagenumber=1 I've always been interested in trader's best and worst days and how they process it. Also interesting to see the differences in the amounts involved. Who's a piker? And I found this one now, "What is the worst one day loss you ever had?" (which also includes profit posts). http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=74408&perpage=6&highlight=emc&pagenumber=1 And the thread "i've lost 400k the last 2 months i'm quitting" which includes the story of Mark Cook http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1116566&highlight=Mark+Cook#post1116566 And my own personal loss http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1179612&highlight=Mark+Cook#post1179612 Also see the next post which was for a lot more money although not his own, but he did lose his cut.
