gen:Unrealistic Expectations

Greetings Traders!

I think we need to get realistic here. Expecting someone to have to post
hand holding information with step by step, minute details of every inch
he/she makes is just plain unnecessary and who really has the time for that?

The fact that someone posts information that a market has a high probability
of turning based on this or that methodology should suffice those truly
serious in taking advantage of those trades.

There is a time for lessons, and there is a time for trading. There is
definitely no time for connect-the-dots.

No one on this forum is responsible for telling someone else that he should
put his buy here and his exit stop there. Nor is anyone required (nor do I
actually see this here) to state how he or she is going to trade the market
him/herself.

There is a wise saying to never tell someone exactly what price you are
entering or exiting. Doing so can jeopardize the trade by changing ones
psychology.

It still floors me that indicating that we were to have a weekly low last
week based on cycle research in the SnP that was to last for that one week
only wasn't enough information. Why? By knowing that, can't one come up with
their own trading strategy?

I fail to see why more information was needed. I did offer some more info,
look what it got me. Maybe I'm narrow minded, but in my simple mind if I
know that Hogs is bottoming here which should hold for some weeks, I think I
can come up with some winning trades based on just this info and nothing
else. Yes, not even any prices. If you know a bottom is in that is expected
to last a few weeks, what more do you need?

Inexperience traders are the most likely ones who may not see the complete
picture when laid out as such. You can expect this from them. Who can blame
them? But they are also the silent ones. They are new and trying to learn.
Good, keep reading and applying. Can't learn all in one day. Look, I've
written dozens of help articles, maybe some of them might help. You can read
them at Traders Digest, http://www.tradersdigest.com . Go to the Atlanta
Section and locate the Ratchford Files. L.P. Morgan was kind enough to set
that up for traders of all levels of experience, and there are other
articles from other traders as well.

Let's not start making unreasonable requests from traders who provide
material on this list lest it just dry up. Especially, if you feel you need
more info, why not contact the person directly and just ask civil? Nothing
is gained by trying to tear at another's post and using reasons for doing so
because 'I'm protecting traders from your.....', for this hints of a
different reason.

So, if this list is to be civil, then maybe showing a little respect for
someones work would be a good start. If you don't agree with a forecast,
post one of your own.

Subjects and persons are two different animals. If one writes that eating
cereal with a rabbit on the box helps you win more trades, and you disagree,
then present your argument that it has to be a sugar bear instead or
whatever.  Subjects are meant to be debated, not the person.

That is my opinion.
