Do Or Die

Thanks to All Members

Hi,

 

It's hardly couple of months since I joined TL... and I already feel home here. I posted this message earlier smiley_biggrin.gif but feel like starting thread because few people may be following the introductions thread.

 

So thanks to everyone that shares their insight and even beginners who's questions can make others re-think over what they're posting!

 

Hi Guys!

 

I'm a long time lurker- finally glad to writing here and hope to interact with all.

 

I am a stocks guy. Been trading for 5 years very actively, tried almost all markets, but trading stocks short-term is my love. I've done OK with my trading so far... made enough money to pay for a comfortable lifestyle.

 

I'm a discretionary trader and idea person- keep note of hundred trading strategies in my secret vault.

 

:cool:

Do or Die,

And thank you!

It’s kind of incredible that I haven’t had more to say about your contributions. In my trading, everything is centered around what you are calling ‘regime analysis’, but alas, our ways of getting there are so disparate I have not been able to even come up with any good feedback. Still, your contributions are appreciated. All the best.

Posting tags looks really boring :( I think I will list my good stuff here and link it in my signature.

 

Take it from someone who has a pretty successful thread on this website; Its not about how good your information is that matters to these readers; its all about how the information is presented...

 

Writing is an art form more than it is a way of disseminating facts... really doesn't matter how good your ideas are if you can't relate them well to your readers...

 

If you can present your content in a "storytelling" manner rather than using a "matter of fact" manner, your readership will expand exponentially.

 

Luv,

Phantom

Phantom,

 

I have lots of respect for you and it's good to see your post here.

 

I was daytrading for premier prop firm (not prop 'shop' which provides leverage) with 50 floors worldwide. I was actually paid a stipend with decent profit sharing. On a day when most traders on our floor were down, they would connect us to some other floor with a 5-10 min interview of a trader who made money. So I learned trading in a very different environment. Trading has never been glamorous for me, even though the size I swing will shy most people here. I was barely trading for a living, most have no idea what it means so there is nothing 'exciting' I can talk about. Currently I trade only on EOD timeframe, so I cannot give examples of intraday trades even though they are sought because I cant write about what I'm not trading.

 

My style is more of 'matter of fact' because of my background. I'm pretty sure it will be hard to find on internet OR in a book all concepts that I discussed about Relative Strength or Trading Regimes. RS is *very* common concept in professional world but rarely discussed on forums. So 'matter of fact' comes naturally to talk about such basics from absolute scratch. Similarly heatmaps and custom visual plots from Panopticon are very common in the professional world, yet I find myself isolated to talk the same here.

 

Adding to this 4 of my consecutive threads were hijacked by a vendor who claims to 'predict' tops and bottoms every day.

 

I don't think I will be able to shift approach from "information" to "storytelling" manner because that will effect my psyche as trader. I definitely have no intention to become a writer or teach for a living... if the market kicks me out I can get one of those institutional analysts job anyways. I disliked grammar classes in school anyways lol.

 

Hopefully my writing will help site owner atleast with traffic because I've written about things not found elsewhere on internet (called 'keyword niche'). So for the time being I would just chose to go slower.

My friend, my comment was intended to help you understand why you aren't getting the feedback you seem to desire, not to change you. I have a lot of respect for your approach, too. Its just too bad that your stuff is way over most traders' heads...

 

Luv,

Phantom

Thanks for that dedication....I think its wonderful that you have chosen to paraphrase the work of others.....its not a choice I would make, but if you manage to get it right you can help those unfamiliar with the literature....

 

Edit

 

At the bottom of each of your posts, you suggest that you will post "something better"....I am sure the rest of us would like to see you make good on that.

 

Thanks.

    • Date: 19th March 2024. Market Recap – It’s a classic ‘Buy the rumour, sell the fact.   Economic Indicators & Central Banks: The advent of Wednesday’s FOMC decision and the further slippage in Fed rate cut expectations extended selling pressures on Treasuries.   Corporate issuance and the risk-on trades into equities weighed too. BoJ delivers dovish hike: The BoJ ended its yield curve control, ETF buying and the 8 years of negative interest rates and ushered in the nation’s first policy tightening since 2007. Also the bank pledged to continue to buy long-term government bonds. There was little indication of additional hikes, which signalled that this is not the first step of a rapid tightening cycle. RBA drops tightening bias, as it keeps the policy rate at a 12-year-high. The RBA held the cash rate at 4.35% for another meeting, but removed any reference to possible further hikes from the statement. When asked if the RBA had indeed moved to a neutral stance, Bullock said the risks to the outlook are indeed “finely balanced now”. Today: The FOMC meets for 2 days, and will issue its post-meeting statement at 18:00 GMT on Wednesday. Expectations are for no policy change at this meeting, but verbiage will be closely monitored for hints regarding the rate path in the remainder of 2024. Market Trends:   Wall Street bounced but pared its early rally. It continued to shrug off the evolving Fed outlook and instead re-focused on tech enthusiasm. A Bloomberg report that Apple is in talks to build Google’s Gemini AI engine into the iPhone boosted risk appetite. The NASDAQ (US100) advanced 0.82%, after halving early gains. The S&P500 (US500) was up 0.63% and the Dow was 0.20% higher. Nikkei (JPN225) was choppy after the decision but closed 0.66% higher, while Japanese government bond yields fell. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex firmed and held over the 103 mark. It rose to 103.45. The USDJPY lifted to 150.47, with the Yen paring recent gains, despite the hike, as Ueda made clear that the inflation target has not been reached yet. As interest rate differentials between Japan and the United States remain stark, Yen is likely to remain under pressure. Antipodeans: AUD and NZD slid to 2-week lows, i.e. 0.6515 and 0.6050 respectively. Gold eased to $2,153.95 and USOIL steadied at $82. Bitcoin drifted for a 4th day in a row, currently at $64,500, slightly above 20-DMA. Always trade with strict risk management.
