LOL.

 

Its a tough call. I use 3, Traders Laboratory, Trade2Win and EliteTrader. Average info quality decreases from left to right and I learn almost nothing from bb's .. a trinket here or there. But elite is the only place to go to check IB problems and also does get some excellent news/economics posts. T2W is active without the shear (enjoyable?) offensiveness of Elite. Trades Lab is more likely to produce a gem.

 

Babypips was ok for forex babies. Forex factory has a great calendar but is populated by lots of indicator junkies plus a few good threads (james16, jacko's, the system II (Yes with irony)). Most others had no appeal.

I browse Wilmott and Nuclear Phyance from time to time. Even though I don't know what they are talking about 90% of the time its interesting to get a perspective from the Quant side of things. Nuclear is especially good for this because most those guys are institutional professionals.

Thanks guys, I'll check out the trade 2 win. I think i'll stay away from those quant nerds - that's stuff is over the top for me.

 

Just tired of reading the nonsense on Elite Trader like "I just turned 10 thousand into 1 million". "GOOG is up 20% today - Buy It" "Most Elite Traders Will Beat The Market This Year - And Here's Why"

 

It's funny for 10 seconds, but after awhile it's a pure waste of time. I went all of last year and more without looking at the board - and just lately I peek in there time to time - OK more like multiple times a day now, it's becoming a disease.

Well elite is fun to read like a tabloid is fun to read sitting on the shitter...

This place can't be beat from the retail level but there is a flaw in the entire idea of a trading forum. I mean when my skills/tools are all at the the degree of razor sharpness I want them to eventually be I won't be posting how to sharpen tools here, you will simply never hear from me again.

Beleive me, you will go back eventually, even if you are confident with your own skills. If you are a lone speculator - and have no interaction during the working day - I think you want some sort of contact with other people that do what you do. Elite trader is just not the place though - my guess it's made up of all those idiot prop traders who slam on their desk when they get in a hissy fit - type guys.

 

Like really darth - who are all the people on Elite Trader? It is the working day so most people have to work 9-5 and they aren't posting from work.

Here's a pile of forums I've found on the net over the past months and years. I'll post them all here as they might be useful or at least semi-interesting to some users here.

 

Just for fun (ya, fun stuff for me is likely different than most peoples definitions :) ) I threw them all into a spreadsheet and ranked them all by "highest number of posts per thread" and this is the ranking I came up with.

 

I was trying to come up with a rough metric to find the "chattiest" forums... even among those that were somewhat smaller in user base size than the BIG BOYS like trade2win, elitetrader etc.

    • Date: 14th May 2024. Market News – May 14. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Asian stocks and European futures kept to small ranges as focus turned to upcoming US inflation reports. JGB yields surged to their highest levels in over a decade amid growing speculation that the BOJ might raise interest rates soon. Former central bank executive Momma stated that the BOJ might opt to deduct its planned bond purchases next month in an effort to revive a bond market that has been largely impaired by its ongoing substantial purchases. BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda emphasized the importance of the market determining long-term yields independently rather than relying solely on the central bank’s actions. UK wage growth remained solid amid a slowdown in the job market, providing further arguments for the BOE’s monetary policy hawks to await more concrete signs of easing inflationary pressures before considering interest rate cuts. Eyes today are on producer price data in the US, followed by consumer price data the next day, which will provide insights into whether the Fed will consider interest rate cuts later in the year or postpone them until 2025. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex is steady at 105 lows. The Yen extended losses for an 8th day against the Greenback to a 2-week low. Currently USDJPY is at 156.45. EURUSD rebounded slightly to 1.0785, however overall holds within a downwards channel with key resistance at 1.0850. USOIL held steady ahead of the release of an OPEC market outlook, with traders eagerly awaiting signals regarding the extension of supply curbs. Despite a decline since April, oil prices have remained relatively high this year due to ongoing supply restrictions by OPEC and its allies, with expectations that these curbs will be prolonged into the second half of the year. Currently USOIL is at $77.78. Gold (-0.93%) declined further to $2338 per ounce. Copper rose at +2.46% and Platinum +0.54%. Market Trends:   The 10-year JGB yield to a 6-month high of 0.965%. The 2-year JGB yield, which closely reflects policy expectations, rose to 0.340%, its highest since June 2009. The 20-year and 30-year JGB yields also surged to their highest levels in 11 years and since July 2011, respectively. FTSE100 stands by record highs, the S&P500 is close to topping March’s record high. The Nasdaq rose by 0.3%, with four of the Magnificent Seven stocks rising. The Hang Seng has added 20% in a rally that is entering a fourth week. Alibaba and Tencent report earnings later today. Always trade with strict risk management.
