sound like great points to me, yet it brings out a bunch of personal attacks on riskfree... and he attacks back.... ad nauseum how about everybody makes peace and we try to have a fruitful discussion? I know what I am suggesting is stupid. But I just felt like saying it anyways.
This is how it is folks. You start a thread, trying to point the newer traders in the right direction and save them from the bullshit artists, hustlers, scammers and glory hound seekers, and what do they do. They come on your thread, start talking trash and try their damndest to disprove your simple, forthright, logical statements. Well OK, "riskfreetrading" came on here, talking as-if he has all this knowledge (and I don't) and demanded that I post a chart showing what I mean by PRICE ACTION. *** Well here you go. Here's a Short trade that riskfreetrading put on becauase his superior analysis (LOL) told him it was the correct thing to do. He's currently underwater (and that's using the NDX) ... if he were trading the NQ's he'd be feeling the pain and looking for the exit. What Not to Do
Sorry Shortie, I know you do not deserve reading what I wrote when it is less civilised. I will hold it.
I can say that you have a good sense of humor. I will give you credit (you gave the part about holding the breath and you deserve credit)
Hey shortie, I just gave riskfreetrading what he was asking for, and I used his own shitty trade as a perfect example of why you should never trade against price action. As far as I'm concerned, for him and for all the readers of the thread, the conversation is over. I realize that you're new, but hey, good trading. P.S. Next
When one uses arrogance to give advice it rarely has a positive effect. When that arrogance is totally unfounded it makes it even worse. If someone like Atticus or Rearden Metals came across as arrogant in a thread I wouldn't have a problem because they at least have the track record to be arrogant should they ever choose to be so.
it is possible that he is simply arrogant. it is also possible that when he is trying to stimulate a discussion he comes out arrogant. it is possible that he has a good track record that would have justified his arrogance or perceived arrogance had it been known. it is possible that he has no record... he did make quite a few IMHO good calls so I don't mind listening to him.
I never wrote that the action of OP to start this thread is not good. I noticed the repetitive statements and uses of expression that are not even defined. I expressed my opinion, and posed questions. Is not that what a forum is for? Those who feel that I am attacking: I am raising questions on your posts, not on you personnally. Can't you differenciate between yourself and your posts? Maybe I should just stop posting. PS: If someone wants to follow/judge my trades/trading, I have been posting my exact entries/exits/size when I trade EUR/JPY here. I post my trades live. There are a lot of trades in there for sometime now. You can make your conclusion on your own. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=122521&perpage=6&pagenumber=110
