around with
interesting market opinions, they seem to be lurking and not posting."
This is an interesting observation with important implications.
What do you feel about the following opinions?
1) Real traders have several common interests perhaps including:
- money management,
- psychology of trading,
- learning from others mistakes,
- real experiences of discipline,
- risk diversification or concentration of area of expertise,
- maximising risk to reward ratios,
- maximising expected profits,
- system testing,
- software tools and general problem resolutions and circumventions,
- sources of quality data,
- steadily increasing trading size,
- self-development and personal growth,
- inspirational material,
- coaching resources,
- mentoring resources,
- trading other peoples money,
- tax management,
- profit withdrawal strategies,
- typical equity curves,
- ...
2) Real traders "trade what they see not what they think" (Joe Ross)
"This means opionions and views are worthless - this includes your own".
Others opinions are just that, until you allow them to influence your
behaviour. So perhaps the "lurkers" are real traders and a forecast of
one market in one timeframe is of little interest to a real trader -
and dangerous to anyone else who may let it influence their trading -
and so
lose any discipline they may have enjoyed in follwing their own system.
Perhaps this is why real traders mostly lurk - what do you think?
Would you like to see more posts along the line of the list of common
interests above? If such a list of common intersts was agreed - would it
be helpful to have the subject headings reflect these common interests.
Maybe this is the way forward for the forum - what do you think?
