As a new member to BreakpointTrades.com (this is my first post)
I felt compelled to voice how I feel about the direction of the
blog and some of it's members. If we utilize the format effectively
then we can all benefit from the information provided that we
wouldn't be able to gather as individual traders. Asking questions
like "where should my exit be" or "Matt what do you think about
this" only signals that your a novice trader who hasn't
appropriately entered a trade or doesn't care to provide
information or learn in a community format. A blog is a COMMUNITY
format and unless we are providing for the community then we are
only sapping Matt, Steve, and members of time that they could
otherwise be using to provide us with real time market information.
These guys do a great job and as a Public Poster to Stockcharts and
as a web designer I know how much time it takes to manage a blog as
well as create and post the nightly updates.
It would be great if members could utilize the FAQ's and or ask
other community members basic questions that only hinder Matt and
Steve's ability to provide us with quality information. Timely
quality information = $$$$$. Personally I'd much rather have
these guys spending time on TA and the charts than answering
uninformative and ego driven irrational blog posts. If you plan
trading then have a game plan, utilize the information provided by
the blog and nightly updates, and then adjust your trades
accordingly.
Please remember that these guys are here to provide us with
quality information and while they are very receptive and helpful
just know that they can't teach you how to trade. We ALL want to
make money and I'd rather see this community grow and become
successful via intelligent posts that provide to the community as a
whole.
