most have moved on to twitter, or retired with the millions made by following the advice here to buy bitcoins.
Algos could post on forums if they had to... they are probably too busy with their data mining and whatnot
I never understood the algo argument. My strategy has worked before algo and it continue to work today with algo. Either people can't trade or they are using a bad method.
Now THAT'S funny. TL complains about the same thing and chalks it up to the same causes: lack of volatility, algos, HFTs, blah, blah. But nothing has changed for me. So if one isn't doing well, perhaps he needs to align himself more closely with what the market is willing to give. Yes, ET is quieter, largely because MS is gone. Useful work is being done here and more of it, though there is as always a large portion of newbie cluelessness. I suggest that those who have clamored for a more productive forum take advantage of the change in climate.
We agreed on a break for two weeks and I used that time to see another girl. She found out and went into a jealousy rage. Then started seeing another guy the next day or so.
I traded a higher traffic ET with MS, for a lower traffic ET without MS, and I don't regret it. There are a few others on my list that are getting the boot too. They've been warned this week to shape up so it's up to them to decide what they want to do.
Lot of bad apples but users like NoDoji, DBPhoenix, Maverick and many others willing to provide guidance make up for them and more. Thank you for the site.
