<FONT color=#0000ff
size=2>While I find much of what you say of interest I find it so often despite
the way you communicate it. In your last post particularly you appear to equate
people who criticise you with those who lose money in the markets. This theme
occurs again and again in your posts: if you do not take a reasonable and
thoughtful approach to my comments then you are "the crowd" and a losing
trader.

<FONT color=#0000ff
size=2>Fine. I am comfortable with the psychological approach which holds the
perspective that if I resist an idea or a comment couched in
reasonable language from a trusted source then it is my problem to
work out why it is that I am resisting. However, this technique is
also the basis of many cults and religions and can result in purely circular
reasoning. You are not necessarily trusted as you would be if you
met people on this list face to face. It doesn't take long in the trading
business to come across plenty of people who sound like you who should NOT be
trusted. Therefore you should expect a highly sceptical, even hostile atmosphere
and plan ways round it.

What
people brought up to be independent and assertive hear in your posts
is: "if you don't agree with what I say you are wrong". Given this
environment the response you get to your posts is predictable. I understand that
you enjoy being of service to people but you could reach an even wider
audience and help even more if you perhaps changed the tone of your musings
slightly - perhaps with non-sarcastic humour or charm or hard headed discussion
of particular methodologies or a detailed description of how you coped with your
recent short Dow trading for example.

P.S. It might be
useful to elaborate by what you mean when you talk about risk-reward ratios.
There is no such thing as a commonly defined "risk-reward ratio" except perphaps
on an individual entry/exit basis. Other than that the ratio would need to be
clearly defined before it means anything to most of us on this
list.
