Hello Dennis, There is a wide range of users and interests within the group including professional (full-time traders), fund managers and/or corporate employees of funds, authors and well credentialled academics, to name a few who have posted since I joined approx 6-9 months ago.
Stop seeking vicarious trading success and dive into the pool yourself. It's the only way to learn to swim. Catch the recent fall? Ever heard of insurance, anticipation, adaption, costed in, standing on your head or been there, done that? Discuss our favourite indicators, trading styles etc. We do nothing else but, day in, day out. You guys must be asleep at the wheel. You will know when I quit trading because I will give away my books and other stuff for free in this forum. The only thing is that you will never know if I retired because I had enough of success or enough of failure. One of my styles I call Dynamic Trading (almost random walk) - 100% mechanical. My second style is plain old Techno-Fundamental - 100% mechanical. I can trade GannStyle or BuffetStyle or a lot of other styles if I want to. Random observation? One of my aims when I started was to read charts the way Mozart read music. I have been mildly influenced by scores of traders, including some in this forum. No single individual left a strong mark though - my style is custom designed. Collectively, seasoned traders, who share their work, do have an affect because *we* all end up at similar places in the end and hence have to resolve the same issues in much the same ways. After a while it does get hard to find original work, which is why the originals tend to keep their mouths shut. AmiBroker (developer/software/platform/forum) is the most influential entity in my trading life - somewhat like a trading partner and mentor. Lots of people come into this forum and are underwhelmed by the experience - not me! A trading epiphany - the first time I backtested using a computer - the trading world was *stood on its head* that day. As for Sacred Trading Cows - I've shot a lot more than I've taken home to pasture. The best tip of all (I don't know how many times I have said it and every other Tom,Dick and Mary has said it as well). SYSTEM EVALUATION AND MONEY MANAGEMENT! Trading systems are a dime a dozen.
