Why do I visit this forum every day?
Well, for the obvious reason - the desire to help others, but more importantly to read the content provided by others. There are posts that resonate with me more than others & I tend to spend most of my time reading those.

"I'm weak" (Habits are hard to break)
I have a bad habit of spending too much time on the computer. To reduce the time spent on the forum I can use the "ignore" feature - while still retaining the ability to post. I'll try it for a week or so (as the feature can be turned on & off)

Has anyone used BEAR over a crash before? Looks too simple to be true if you know a correction is coming. I have not traded options or futures before and it is a little too complicated to get started when you are a newbie. I am very jittery at present, I will liquidate all holdings tomorrow and thinking of putting half the cash in BEAR as my defensive. The other half I need in accounts so I can buy back in when I see the opportunity I expect.

Starting a new strategy
We all trade in the hope of profitability. The reason I keep posting new trading ideas & weekly results demonstrates that trading has its moments (good & bad). Trading results are secondary & not the point of the exercise. Taking the signals without hesitation or intervention is a hard lesson to learn. Keeping your emotions in check is even harder.

Trading confidence is a skill to acquire
Trading confidence comes from a few areas - trading results & ongoing experience also help. Confidence is something you must learn as it doesn't come naturally to traders.

Trading at the moment is a tough gig
Trading has really been tough this calendar year (2021)

Perseverance
That's the name of the game.

i've tried to buy BEAR with IB before and it wouldn't allow me to, has anyone else had this?
 
Loving the fear of doom and gloom and the volatility.

Perhaps you are drinking to much coffee or have a condition?

Do you honestly think it's wise to put half of your eggs in one basket?
(For your info, I use BBOZ if I feel bearish, which I might for half a day or so...)

Anyway, moving along.
Had my best individual day ever on Tuesday this week...with 1 of 2 portfolios succeeding a 21.9% raise.
Same portfolio closing 16% up for the week.
A more than satisfactory result imo, however, it's just numbers and it's all open, until it's not.
The bar graph is a 12 week snapshot.



I trade/ invest full time and let the data tell me the facts rather than letting noise and rhetoric influence my opinion.
I don't ignore "sentiment", however I prefer to keep it objective, rather than majority subjective.

Can see this and all other posts when not logged in.... so definitely won the ignore prize.

I guess the sanctum of the "Dump it here" is now null and void, for a week or forever, time will tell.

Cheers.

So we are all on ignore?
Yeap do not understand..
What's the point of a blanket ignore?
If you do that:
You can still post sure but noone can read you as ignore is a 2way process as implemented on asf.
Still puzzled anyway, everyone is free but it would be a shame to loose that embedded knowledge

Skate is a great loss for this forum.
Personally, his dump it here thread was one of the main reasons I regularly checked into this forum.
I really hope we see him come back. Sad day indeed.

I'm not sure we have lost him ?
I really don't think Skate would abandon his posse without saying farewell and reasoning as to why,
he's just not that sort of person.

By his posts in this thread it seems he wants/ needs a well deserved break from the computer/ forum?
The forum can become habitual, which Skate has stated.

If he has gone for good, yes, the situation is a loss for the forum.
 
As i understand it we can still see the posts if logged anonymously
That would mean that we are all in a blanket ignore.
We could test this by creating a new login and see if Skate is available then to be contacted.
I would NOT do this as I respect his decision whatever it is.
One of a maybe unwanted? @Joe Blow ? consequences of the blanket ignore is that every @Skate post has disappeared.
may not have been the intended results.
If Mr Skate at some stage wants to contact me to explain what is the issue/purpose, he is most welcome and i can be his mouthpiece, as would i am sure many of the other familiar members.
To make it short, i could not believe Mr Skate would wipe out such a gem of historical knowledge.
I owe him a lot and i as many would miss him dearly
