How to Manage So Much Information of Forum

Recommended Posts

There are so many threads on the forum and many times some very important point gets mentioned in a given thread. I instantly feel like making a note of this important point because I think it could be very helpful in my trading and I might need this idea in future.

 

Which knowledge managing software is best suited for noting down the important points from the forum, as there is so much data, and it becomes impossible to remember, which good point was given in which thread... so how to manage all this in a better way ? If I start to save every webpage of such threads manually then the data becomes huge and it is hard to categorize such data in different segments!

 

What software or online service "cloud computing etc." could help us in this regard ? I am looking for some solution where I can save this information systematically and easily in just a few seconds. This software should be specifically good for capturing/saving the information from web pages articles and current forum.

 

How to keep a record of important threads and important posts and to label them, why exactly they are important to me, so that I can easily find and correlate it when I need this information back.

 

Please post your ideas in this regard.

 

PS: the default method of thread subscription and favorites is not much helpful in this regard because of the enormous data size.

I am sure there are better solutions, however, if someone makes a pertinent point that resonates with me.....

I have a word document - just one, that I subdivide into various sections - eg; autotrading, interesting setups, Psychology, exits, money management.

 

All I then do is cut and paste certain posts people make, or sentences,and then make my own notes to go with this......

Sort of like study notes at school.

To date -its 18- pages, full of charts, and ideas. Its a personal thing and only makes sense to me, but it also works for me as a ready reminder of the things I find important or interesting.

I thought the default method was the Thanks button. Thats what I use it for anyways.

 

If a post taught me something I can use, I click Thanks.

Then, if I or anyone else wants to see ALL the posts I have ever Thanked, they just need to make a couple clicks in my user profile.

 

For managing lots of data, the usual solution is to use a MindMap software. Freemind, Personal Brain, and Mind Manager come to mind. :)

 

Hope this helps.

If something is very important, and you should be using it as you are trading, then you need to remember it. Having it filed away, or bookmarked in that moment may not help, especially if you need to make a decision now. So you need memory techniques. Write the information down using a pen and paper. Then throw the paper away.

Some of you guys are getting it wrong. You guys are making an assumption that I am looking to manage all this information for the purpose of making trading decisions ! That is not the case. In this thread, I am not looking for ideas on how to trade well and all other stuff like that, instead I am just asking how to properly manage vast amount of data from various sources on internet. If I was not able to ask my question properly, then I apologize for that.

 

The data is mostly in the form of articles on various websites. And a lot of it has got nothing to do with trading. I am just looking for various options which can help to manage this kind of internet data.

 

For most of the articles I am thinking that it is not necessary to save the complete material in my system. If I am able to find a good bookmark manager which provides various options for properly categorizing the bookmarks systematically and keeping them in various folders or segments or tree branch etc. then that will also work well for me, provided I am able to search within the material of those bookmarks through google or an any other search tool. But any typical bookmark manager wont work here, as I am talking about managing a few 1000 bookmarks and not just 100 or 200 bookmarks.

 

Now please do not start to tell me that keeping 1000 bookmarks will not allow me to take a trading decision.

 

Thanks to all the members who replied to this thread.

So let me verify what you have done here. You asked a question that has nothing AT ALL to do with trading, IN A TRADING FORUM. That's okay. I'm not necessarily against that.

Because I like to try to help people, I did a search on the internet trying to find something about bookmarks. I thought this site was interesting:

 

bookmark manager - download tag - page 1 - Softpedia

Thankyou Tradewinds for your help. :)

Yes, I admit, that such questions would better suit some other type of Forum and Traderslab might not be the best place to ask for such thing.

Its not as though this is the only place you've asked this.

 

You seem to be running exactly the same thread at T2W, et, TL, and one I'd never heard of, TraderJi. Are you planning to write a book for Indian traders?

Hi Kiwi ! I started the same thread on all the forums where I am a member. I thought of doing this as an experiment to see what kind of responses I get from which forum.

 

No, I am not planning to write any book etc.

 

Based on all the responses that I have got, it seems that the best way would be to use MS OneNote + a good bookmark manager + mind map. This combination will help a lot in keeping all the data well sorted.

 

I have realized that if you post the same question on multiple forums, then the probability of getting a better solution increases. You get to see the views of many different kind of members.

 

Please tell me clearly if you felt bad/irritated because of seeing the same question everywhere ! If it is something which goes against Netiquette or forum rules, then I will think twice before repeating such exercise. Otherwise I might follow it in future also.

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

PS: Traderji is a site devoted to Indian Traders. But it is suffering heavily from Spam problem. Almost 99 % posts are pure garbage there. :doh: Tlab has got much better quality.

Not significantly irritated. I just wondered because I saw it on et and in a moment of boredom decided to google it.

 

Personally I just have large files of stuff by year and go back occasionally to seek inspiration or horror at what I once found interesting.

Moving the spam from a private location (a PM) to a public one (a forum) is about the best thing you can do for the spammer. Just report it to the admin and move on, you have given it 'life'. Best thing you can do is edit the original spam out of your message.

the spammers getting anti spammers to add to the spam, fantastic!

Sort of like buying a T-shirt with a massive slogan on it and then walking around as a billboard.

Did you read about the guy who was trying to be the most spammed person in the world? I think he turned out to be pretty disappointed with the result.

In future just don't include the spam address.

 

In current time you can hit the report post button and request that a mod remove the url for the spam. I have done that.

    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone else is lazy too.   Those who saw the future in that red envelope? They could’ve caught a 10,000%+ move.   Another story…   Back in the mid-2000s, Amazon launched Prime.   It wasn’t flashy—but it was fast.   Free two-day shipping. No minimums. No hassle.   People subscribed because they were impatient. Investors bought the stock because they realized everyone hates waiting.   Those who saw the future in that speedy little yellow button? They could’ve caught another 10,000%+ move.   Finally…   Back in 2011, Bitcoin was trading under $10.   It wasn’t regulated—but it worked.   No bank. No middleman. Just wallet to wallet.   People used it to send money. Investors bought it because they saw the potential.   Those who saw something glimmering in that strange orange coin? They could’ve caught a 100,000%+ move.   The people who made those calls weren’t fortune tellers. They just noticed something simple before others did.   A better way. A quiet shift. A small edge. An asymmetric bet.   The red envelope fixed late fees. The yellow button fixed waiting. The orange coin gave billions a choice.   Of course, these types of gains are rare. And they happen only once in a blue moon. That’s exactly why it’s important to notice when the conditions start to look familiar.   Not after the move. Not once it's on CNBC.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
