I agree.
My efforts are not entirely altrustic.
I hope others will pile their tips and tricks in there so that I can
find them easily and do some reading/learning for myself.
Re your topic list.
I agree with others, there are plenty of places you can get ideas on
those topics.
Nothing to stop individuals giving their own take on the subject via
the UKB though, especially when it is translated into Ami speak.
The fact is I could have something to say on topics like that if I
want to, and I may well write on them in the future (when I retire
from the job as UKB admin assistant).
If I don't, the only reason will be that I am preserving some trading
knowledge for myself that allows me to make a living and pay the
bills. I think all of us have to hold something back and for that
reason most traders are a little reluctant to disclose their methods
in the core areas you mention.
It is, however, a certainty that we can take years off the learning
curve if we share our tools for managing the mundane aspects of
trading.
There are also some extrordinarily generous traders who are prepared
to go further, a la Herman, who could easily have kept all the AT
secrets to himself or sold them off to a few.
