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?
