Paltalk Room

We had our first paltalk chat a few weeks ago and it was definitely successful. Unfortunately I dropped the ball and failed to follow up. I talked to HLM and a few others and we decided a new thread should be made to make it easier for everyone to know what is going on.

From what I understand Friday may not be the best day as everyone wants to relax. That's fine with me, so I'd like to setup a time when we can meet on a regular basis and have a discussion. We first discussed accountability and tossed around a few good ideas. Obviously as time goes on, we can change the subject depending on the needs of the participants.

So what day works well for everyone? And should we continue to use paltalk?

Re: Paltalk Room

Hi James,
Well done for the post.
I am personally available any time. Fridays is best for me after the market. I will try for any day when a get together is planned. As I mentioned previously somewhere I got a lot out of the last Paypal session thanks to you, Hlm and smwinc fantastic stuff.

I have been thinking about the original postings of how we can better hold ourselves accountable. In Buisness its about having the allignment of authority, Responsibility and accountability to get the job done "right" in line with Key strategies,objectives and tactics

For my own trading I think it would be to show someone my trading plan and the corresponding outcomes and question the hell out of why I did what and when. Ie did I trade my plan, How successful are my strategies and the feedback loop of where I might improve. Visa versa for the other person who can also get out of it something for themselves.
Just some thoughts....

All the Best
John

Wow, I completely missed it.

Pretty much any day is usually okay for me. Maybe we should get a few polls together with "times" and "topics" for those that are interested. Paltalk seems to be a good room unless we discuss a topic where live desktop streaming would be beneficial.

Re: Paltalk Room

That's a great idea!

We could "meet" at the end of the trading session or at lunch time once a week or more.

Kind regards.

Mike

Re: Paltalk Room

You have to start a new thread specifically for the poll and then it's an option at the bottom. Or else you might be able to edit this one and add it.

Re: Paltalk Room

Just curious, is there some reason why you guys wouldn't want the room open and available during Regular Trading Hours ?

My guess is that James_gsx and Hlm are too busy trading.

There is the TL chat that is open during the trading hours and I know a few people are in there. The only issue is some find it to be a distraction.

Exactly, many traders don't like to be disturbed during RTHs so organized discussions are better suited for after market hours. As for myself, multitasking is in my blood and my trading is very methodical so it doesn't bother me much.
