These type of posts ( on any forum I frequent) always make me smile, particularly if they
come from posters who look more towards hiving content/opinion as opposed to regularly contributing....
What can the long term posters actually 'teach/inform'?
What do you need to actually trade; beyond a bit of cash, self control and an edge/set up that works/makes money consistently...? In my early days on here I PM'd a few of the regular guys to ask opinion on my set up/edge, it was obvious I was on the right track and simply needed re-confirmation to put in the graft/hours to make it work, beyond that what more does anyone expect from a forum? IMHO (if) T2W suffers from anything it's the fact that there's too many sub forums of sub forums and this general forum just has light content..
If you havn't developed an edge, got a set up that works then keep looking, or go back to the day job. I'd suggest most successful traders don't come here to discuss tweaking their stochs or the MACD, I mean it's fooking obvious what the lagging/leading indicators do/show, after a few months of chart studying trying to figure out how and why price action starts 'works' it clicks, why then the need to discuss it in micro detail?
Just go and make cash and come here for banter
For me
T2W is simply a virtual pub, full of one or two odd characters, but moreover very interesting and informed contributors who
simply get on with the job without constantly bleating that life has duffed them up.
