This is interesting, I noticed SHR recently posted that the less time he spends on these forums the more money he makes. Several traders from the real world have told me the same thing and that makes me wonder why that should be the case. Some possible reasons could be:-Ferru123 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 09, 2017 2:53 pmMy whole approach has changed, and while I still have a huge amount to learn, I no longer seek advice from forums and gurus. For me, the market is the best teacher, and if I want to test a theory I'll do so in the markets, using small stakes. Plus, I'm not sure it makes sense to give too much away to people you are competing against, and to top it all, I don't even use BA these days!
One will often get conflicting advice from trading forums, this may well be given in good faith but what works for one trader may cause another trader to lose money.
It can be a little off putting when you see people posting good returns and (in my case anyway) you are happy for them because you feel that if they can do it then perhaps you can too. Then some time later you find out those returns were either faked (for anyone that doesn't know, BF templates that look like the real thing can be acquired on line) or the trader was using play money.
