I do not understand why EVERYONE is trying to teach others in this forum.
Everyone is trying to or proving to others that he/she is a trading guru. Why NOBODY ever shows/proves himself or herself first. Why not show your own trading contracts notes before you force the same old pivot things or any other methods down anybody's throat.
Please do not misunderstand me. I am not against teaching. I am against the act of everyone teaching the more or less same things by opening new thread.
What is the point ? If there are 500 methods discussed in TJ which did not work (although everyone when started claimed in a way that his method is best), then why should one belive that what you are teaching works and can make one trader ?
Therefore, I sincerely request all the self-proclaimed gurus to kindly establish your trust by posting your daily/weekly/monthly (which ever you are comfortable with) contracts.
Please take this post in good faith. I have all good intentions and not trying to defame anyone. Thanks.
Learnthemarket, Please dont think that a person posting his own contracts with profitable trades will be able to 'teach' better. He may at the most increase confidence in traders for the strategy but that cannot ensure a Profitable trades by the learner. Same strategy can be profitable for one and may not be as good for another and in fact may give loss to a third person!
Strategies are a minor part of trading. A person needs is to mould a strategy, adapt a strategy according to his/her own personality ! And the most important things are discipline mm and rr management ! So when a person teaches something new or something old but teaches again as understood by him/her, he/she may be teaching a system of trade adapted by them as it matched with their personality ! Now the people following his lessons need to understand the strategy and look at it with their point of view and decide whether its worth persuing for trading by him/her ! Its of no consequence whether or not the person posting the lessons was profitable with it or not !
So stop whinning about posting his own contracts !
The system is not being rammed down anybody's throat, its been offered like a lozenge , take it in mouth, move it around, if you like the initial taste, crush it a bit, you still like it continue otherwise on first hint of it being not acceptable to one's tastebuds, spit it out!
Better have a critical look at what is being posted, if you like it , continue to have a look , ask questions otherwise move on, move to some other thread !
Please take this post in good faith and if you think I am a bit correct, please refrain from such posts elsewhere on Forum, if you think my understanding of your post is misplaced, you are welcome to counter it but do note there will not be a follow up post from me!
My intention for writing this post was to defend strongly the people who are trying to teach, even the ones who do not trade but may be are good teachers. I have seen in the past a few threads crushed before they could bloom manily because of such heckling posts putting cold water on their enthu ! Surely we do not know whether the so called untimely closed threads were worth anything or not. My objection is to let a thread continue, if its worth it , it will survive or will die a natural death. Why stomp it without giving it a chance ????
Apologies for some strong words used but thats how I feel !
