GKP

Perhaps I should have added my proposed trades

GKP Will go long on a close above 108.96 ,,1st target t-line (today 125.58 )
Will buy on 24%/38% on any retrace from todays high so far 108.50 and 79.25 low

All these will be based on good indicators from the book L2

You have a good point of course Bunson. I agree that what you suggest can be positive in terms of the learning curve, but I find that publishing trades often leads other traders to follow the lead instead of composing their own strategies and then if the trade should fail there is remorse and ill feeling. Not always, but even once is enough. Losing money is painful and anonymity does not help to control bitterness.

What I try and do is show the chart and highlight the indicators in play. Readers are then able to research those indicators themselves and draw their own conclusions. Even in hindsight this builds confidence and skill. Too many readers of these boards are too lazy to do the work and it is those that get upset when things go pear shaped.

Even when just highlighting the chart and indicators one is open to negative comments and/or correction from other traders that happen to use different setups. This is common and you see it on all boards. People are stubborn. I am!. There are many ways to trade.
I upset Diver one time because I just could not get to the bottom of one of his setup's / strategies. I plainly just didn't understand it, but that didn't mean it was wrong or flawed. It clearly worked for him. Remo (god bless him) is just too much like a schoolmaster. Too black and white IMO.

The best discussion board that I have participated in was that of Jackozy. The guy is both a good and experienced trader but also a good teacher to beginners and he also embraces other methodology that he might not use himself. It promotes harmonious discussion and learning. Such a pity he could not continue his good work.

I have a good reason for posting and it is completely selfish. When I post my idea/strategy/setup it forces me to be thorough in my work and this helps me to limit errors. If it helps others then great.

That's all. GKP rising, so I will post again when I think we are at another crossroads.

No worries mate. I probably said too much (as usual) but hey ho!

Excuse me F4T but on Jackozy's site when it ran did you post as Ian?

I did.
