    Thanks. My trades are my trades but any insight that you glean ...is ok with me and purely coincidental imo. I don't have a lock on this sht.

    Never mind this jimmie guy, but in all honestly, speaking from experience, perspective is what you don't need. If you want to go short, you don't need to hear that someone went long. If you are wrong, you will find out via your own trade, not because someone else made the better guess.

    You have been at this long enough that I think you already have an idea of what you want to do, so follow your system, and if its not working, then change your rules. Your own trades and their outcome will tell you if you are right or wrong, and you learn from the times you are wrong (if there is anything to even learn because maybe its just a good trade that didn't work out). But when you get other perspectives, you second guess your own trades and in my opinion, it means going backwards in the trading journey.

    If there was a guy on here who had an 80% win rate and posted every trade in real time, then sure, maybe there would be something to learn there, but clearly nobody here is doing this, so you're better off just listening to yourself and learning from your own mistakes.

    I agree with everything he said. Don't take anyone elses trades, make your own. I don't post mine here for anyone else but me. I'll help where I can but I'm not going to reveal everything. As such no one should take anothers trades carte blanc

    @Gotcha @big mac I agree completely as well. What I meant was having a platform like this opens up the ability for discussions on trades and trade ideas. As you can see I still haven't made a trade yet, while big mac has made plenty today.
