There aren't that many folks who currently post real time trades anyway, so what purpose will RT chat serve? Unless you crave for just that, a real-time chat.
schizo, with respect to disclosing precise price points for entry, stop, and exit ...a more realistic expectation of what skilled traders r willing to disclose ...and valuable bit of info is realtime current position. Without any disrespect intended, because ur automated signal service and commentary are great ...there's more value in seeing where price is the moment other traders are saying things like flat, not taking counter trend long here, combined with great field position if a short sets up here, followed soon by the words {I'm} short here. This enables judging another's skills via realtime correlation with which traps u see him falling into vs which solid trades he's taking. The value of this is u learn to recognize the traps quicker and are able to begin associating them with components ur already using or adding new components if there's nothing on ur charts to suggest why a good trade had a high probability of setting up at a given *realtime* {price} point.
Spydertrader room to encourage realtime brainstorming bread n butter setups. Not that I believe anyone will give setups away but it's priceless knowing the moment when a trader always caves with the tide or another enters wiggles that become reversals. Any trader including noobs with reasonable skills will find immense value in this. Traders with advanced skills will immediately recognize the danger in participating but if we build it they will come. Maybe even spydie? That would be beautiful. Press begins covering our legendary room. ...ptj, bill dunn, john henry find novelty or originality and join in anonymously. oh yeahhhhh, Maverick74! preconceived perception not based on the past ...let's imagine this ambiance conducive to attracting the legends. I fail to see any other vision than this miracle. ...legends and scouts giving out crumbs.
The vendors and the desperate they prey upon. My gawd, just look at the desperation to find a leader from the ne'erdowells posted above. Screaming out in desperation for "headline" traders or even PTJ or j henr; to save them-- I couldn't write better material!
Wow! What a great post on exactly why most lose in this game. Desperately seeking " the way" from others in a chat room. Even calling upon j henr( and ptj for salvation. Hopefully, this is a joke post from a multi alias troll?? If not, Im shocked people actually think this way. No wonder the market is so rich and many traders so poor.
urf, there's no desperation in me. I love trading and furthering my knowledge. There's a logical contradiction in knowing why most who try to trade lose while simultaneously being shocked. You can't be both at the same moment. The fact your logical fallacy is a response to a post my peers, and the legendary traders I speak of, would clearly see as spot on further reduces your credibility. Feel free because you are, to edit your posts or delete one of them as u often do.
The chat room should be opened Sunday afternoon or night and not wait until Monday morning. Some traders preparing for tomorrow might post something of value, although I would not expect a lot of activity. Plus you have Asia and Europe starting things off earlier, and people should be paying attention to this. JMHO.
It will likely be open 24/7. But no one will likely post anything until Marketsurfer starts making calls and he goes to sleep early.
