Well everyone its come to the end of another year. Hope it was a profitable one for all. I'd like to see what threads you think stood out this year. Lets start with the following categories , feel free to add your own Most Educational Most Entertaining No real rules just a bit of light hearted reading for the end of year holidays and hopefully point out a few gems worth rereading
I would like to nominate Trader2009 for his OP'ing the thread on "lifting " or preventing "lifting" of HF STRATS in the grey box forum. The thread shows how various kinds of people think and don't think. There were few detractors as well. I liked the sub theme regarding where human observation ends and computers still observe and act. Lots of myths, too. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=185066
the worst thread of the year was definitely by traderum trying to "trick the market makers" on the ib demo account.. not even the paper trading account. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=185303
Guys I was hoping that this would not turn into a flaming contest. Lets all remember what you were taught as kids. If you dont have anything nice to say...... Anyway, my most educational of the thread, though still a work in progress is How to research and verify trading ideas. An absolute goldmine And for most entertaining definately BWolinsky's Trading. A great discussion on pairs trading going on there
