So long, and thanks for all the fish

[trendie]

I have been not posting for a while.

Finally, I have mechanised my rule-set, and have trusted myself to allow my program to trigger a trade rather than just alert me to manually enter and exit.

Just about anything I ever wanted to say I have said. Most of my recent posts seem to be quips, attempted humour and mostly lulzy.

I am finding the off-T2W communications, and Skype type set-ups of like-minded people more useful. However, even Skype type comms have run their course. I mean, there are only so many times you can repeat yourself about set-ups, entries, exits. etc.
Sometimes, to fill the time, we start discussing exotic and rare events and specific situations, when we should simply get on and trade the boring, repetitive, core rule-sets, and ignore the transient, quirky, rare non-events, since they are essentially irrelevant.

A new set of newbies comes along and adds passion and drive and wide-eyed curiosity and energy, and this keeps T2W turning over. Us experienced, and weary old-fogies shouldn't undermine that new energy. Although it is our duty to take the p1ss out of spammers and balatant system-sellers, and the terminally self-deluded.

Because I seem to be content-neutral and lulzy these days, maybe this is the time to move on. (although I will still read T2W without posting, so I may "appear" on a thread)

Thanks for all the help all those wonderful characters have given to me over the years. Sadly, most of them aren't here anymore. I won't name any as I fear I may miss some out.

Nobody, especially newbies, will understand that after all the discovery, learning, highs, lows, joy and angst, you finally return to find yourself. This journey is almost the plot of Paulo Coelhos "The Alchemist".

Advice for newbies is to plough your own furrow. Take all the advice and information, add copious pinches of salt, and sift it, and let the chaff blow away, and pick out the nuggets and construct your own strategy, that is in tune with your own psychology. Am I mixing my metaphors?

I am planning to spend my time in a more balanced way, by using some of my money and be actively involved in local projects. With REAL people. Quite a challenge for someone who is essentially asocial!
I may return, and ask some of you successful traders to part with some of your money to sponsor me in good causes.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Hi trendie - You seem jaded but I still feel you'e got plenty to offer T2W and the exchanges I see you in are interesting to read.

I am moving towards a complete trading strategy. I have thought that at that point it will be pointless to discuss what might happen next with other traders or how to react to it because whatever happens my dream strategy will respond profitably.

But in practice, that point can never be reached because the market continuously changes (and so do we all in it) - today's most perfect strategy could well be a lemon next week.

I learn every week from T2W (a better word than learn would be develop) - but with all due respect to the posters here, not these days directly, like a student from a master, but through the challenge of debate, leading to observation, hypothesis, experimentation and conclusion (hopefully profitable).

I have to say, if you feel you've stopped developing and have nothing to offer T2W, I think you're very much on the wrong track. Please stick around.

I have to agree with Trendie to be honest, there is so much more to life and I really do think he should get our there and do what he pleases, be it local projects or whatever. If Trendie feels he has nothing to offer, he isn't going to be offering anything!!

Not much to say really, but I wish you the best of look with everything!!

Hi trendie,

I can sympathise with a lot of what you say, but think it's a great pity that you're leaving, you were always one of my favourite posters here !!!

Hope we'll hear from you now and then again.

Until then, have fun with the yummy mummies that I hope you'll find in your local projects

Take care and all the best !!!

[Mr. Charts]

t2w will be much the worse if you leave.
I shall miss your posts
Please re-consider.
Maybe a break from posting then return.
If there's ever anything I can do, you know where to find me.
Take care and good luck in whatever you do.
Best wishes,
Richard

Hi Trendie,
I can't believe this - you're part of the fabric of T2W - please don't leave us!
I hope you'll stay but, if we don't manage to persuade you, best of luck in the future and and thank you for all your great contributions.

Tim.
PS. Bye the bye - I'm a REAL person - I think. Hold on, I'll just check. Ouch! (That's me pinching myself.)

When I get that I confer with one of my other me's in a parallel universe to regroup and clear up any*uncertainties.



Agree that trendie is part of the fabric hereabouts btw.

 

[montmorencyt2w]

Au revoir, Trendie.

I am relatively new around here, so I wasn't around for your earlier years, but I have a feeling that a large chunk of T2W history would be disappearing with you, so I join the others in hoping this is only a timeout.

Have fun in the real world

Always keep the trader you separated from the self, otherwise, you'll forget how to live and how to trade.

Easier said than done.
