The 'Dump it here' thread
The sole purpose of this thread is to help others gain knowledge. I have a good memory & post what I've found beneficial in my trading experience. The thread is for the exchange of ideas, not a contest of ideas.

Dicks
I've found some members can't help themselves by posting to point-score at every turn, belittling or ridiculing others & in my opinion it's not the way forward. We are a community of like minded people who have common interests & goals. All members who are at different stages & levels of experience can still make a contribution to this thread if they have the desire to help others.

Before posting T.H.I.N.K.
T - is it true?
H - is it helpful?
I - is it inspiring?
N - is it necessary?
K - is it kind?

Respect
Over time you value some posters more than others, some have the knack of nailing posts accurately & succinctly.

My views
The views expressed by me in the 'Dump it here' thread are my ideas whether you agree with them or not isn't the point, if I'm right or wrong isn't important - all members have the right to freely express a view or an alternative view without being challenged or ridiculed, the essence of the thread.

Alternative view
When [USER=2975]@ducati916[/USER] posts I take notice, he is one member whose views are always "on the money". It's refreshing when members take the time & effort to post alternative points of view.

Before I make a series of posts
I'm planning to background my trading, explaining how & what strategies I trade before flooding the thread with a load of backtests of my current trading systems as well as a few backtests of systems I'm paper trading at the moment. I take the view that there is no right or wrong way to trade but whatever way you decide to trade you need to be consistently profitable to make a "few bucks" in this game. How do we do that? Exactly as the Duc has said: "it is the vehicle (the Strategy) combined with a good driver/rider" (a good trader) This combination gets you a "foot in the door" giving you a "fighting chance" of being a profitable trader.
