Question to the Mods - Thyread Placement

[GammaJammer]

If I have short term (i.e. intraday) market comments (and I'm NOT talking about live trading calls here, just kind of a rolling, blog / stream of consciousness type thing) where would you like me to put em.

Should I start a blog? (do we have such a thing here?). Or you guys want a thread somewhere (and if so, where do you want it)?

Happy to try and comply with the general tone of the site.

If you have no particular focus, such as Market Profile or candlesticks, consider the Market Analysis Forum, either an existing thread or a new one.

What Db said, or, if you prefer a blog format you can start one here yes. Click on the "TL! Blogs" box on the menu bar near the top of each page.

I'm easy. where would you prefer?

[DbPhoenix]

It's really up to you, GJ. If you want discussion and to see others' charts but you don't care about being able to moderate, opt for a thread. If you want the opposite of the above, start a blog.

Went for a blog in the end. As much because I've not tried one yet as anything. And like you say, at least that way I have some control (not that it seems like I'll really need much on this forum compared to others).

Just my vague mutterings - sometimes I'll be specific on trading levels, sometimes not. Sometimes just my thoughts on market conditions etc. Kind of a cathartic thing or an excercise in marshalling my thoughts, call it what you will. Can't promis it'll be any good, but what the hell.

A blog would be good because you can control your train of thoughts without outside distractions (if you want to delete the posts from yourself or others, etc).

I consider blogs something like self-moderated threads. Wasp & I started one too btw. With 19 blogs on 10000 members, it seems like the concept has yet to gain popularity though...

Blogs are a good way to keeping trading journals, but it takes dedication and honesty and guts for others to see your results and weaknesses as opposed to private journals. In the end it makes a difference because you grow as a trader and of course we notice why most traders come and go. I had my time at this so it was a useful tool. I still do it sometimes but due to involving trading OPM, it's now private. But definitely recommend it.

I'm sure many of the non-premium members were rather hoping you'd have plumped for the other route

It’s a shame more of the members won’t be able to observe your views & comments. I know they have the opportunity to stump up $80 or whatever it is to upgrade, but it’s still disappointing that certain sections of these forums are out of bounds to those who would possibly benefit most.

Of course you must direct, run & manage your work as you see fit, & it’s personal choice as to who accesses said info, but from what I understand (from colleagues etc) you’re a top class contributor with excellent knowledge, experience & grounding in your chosen field.

I for one am very much looking forward to your (& other quality T2W posters) participation in this forum & judging by the feedback & buzz surrounding the transfer of activity of you guy’s, so are a few more.

I’m by no means attempting to change your mind or alter your decision, but I hope you won’t restrict your posts exclusively to the medium of blogs or private enclosure. That goes for everyone who jumped ship.

I fully understand & appreciate the reasons all you guy’s opted to pitch out of T2W, but this joint is a very different animal altogether.

The mods are very agreeable, competent, switched on individuals & Mr Lee directs this site with a fair yet firm hand.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy this gig & I wish everyone continued good trading!
