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,

 

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.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
