Jeeeez, this has become a depressing thread lately...
Skc, i am willing to bet that you will not loose your shirt in 9 months,
TH, your post reads nothing more than evolution of a trader, markets change you adapted. As for 'could of' being wiped out, you 'could of' been hit by bus.
And Sinner thanks for asking, yes i am enjoying the ride i hope you are too.

One of the many good things about being a day trader. Hit the daily stop = early beer (if you want).
For a position trader like me having a bad day... I just keep looking at the clock waiting for the trading day to end, keep breathing and telling myself "It will mean revert. It will mean revert."

I'm guessing TH and the other HSI traders are having a few days off?

I've never posted on this thread, but have often read it.
It's a fantastic study of human behaviour. Many months ago a guy calling himself Trembling Hand came back to ASF after a long break. Apparently the rumours are true that he is a gun trader. He set up the "international traders banter thread", and people came out of the woodwork to talk with him. It was like the second coming! Flattery and "welcome back TH" messages popped up everywhere, and he ignored them all!
Now it seems he is gone, and the whole thread, its regular contributors have followed suit. Is that the definition of a leader, or what? He didn't even say goodbye!
Something similar happened on Hotcopper a few years ago, when one of the leaders in the popular daytrader threads by the name of "iPod" picked up his bat and ball and left. The HC guys didn't know what to do with themselves for quite a while, and I don't think the day trader threads have ever been the same since. One really interesting point about such guys is that when they make a big decision, it seems to coincide very closely with large turning points in the market.
So let's see.

Gringotts Bank your " fantastic study of human behaviour" is about as good as your reading of the market I would say. China week long holliday...... nothing doing till today mate.

It's easy to see why people with good intentions just give up.
Too many knob jockeys who can talk the talk but can't walk the walk turn up with a "if I can't eat it then I will **** on it" fruit bat mentality.
Have a look at the TGA, RED and PEN etc threads for some examples of what I mean.

Just saying some posters are very influential. The guy I mentioned on HC was so influential that about 80% of the stocks he said he was buying (as day trades) would immediately jump a few price levels. I've never seen that before. It reminded me of some of the characters in Gladwell's book "Tipping Point" - the 'connectors' and the 'Mavens'.
I argue with TH quite a lot, but I respect what he does. There's no disrespect there.

Well from what I've seen he is the only one who trades the HSI. Everyone else sees it as too volatile. TH had a week off, and everyone else stopped posting. That much was obvious.

I think we could qualify that with "TH is the only on ASF trading the HSI"....
I'm sure there's a few at Propex trading it...
But why would they hang out here? They get to hang out with actual traders...
