DrBob speaks.....SO LISTEN FOOLS

Just to set the record straight, we are open to other trading ideas and anyone is free to post whatever they like in terms of trading styles or indicators. We are not beholdeth to one indicator and one style of trading. I don't know of anyone being told not to post because their method is not allowed in the room. There are people using RSI, fibs, murray math, cci, moving averages, and even price. If you want to share your trading style you are welcome.

This is not an educational room for newbies. We are not trying to create another room full of new traders. Most of us are trading for real with real money and are simply providing a place where we can communicate (with private sessions and private messaging turned on) as a group or individually. Some are posting what they see in the markets and their trades, some do not. We are not providing entertainment in the form of audio moderators. This is not trading 101, and many find moderating with audio and charts distracting. MOst of us are comfortable with our charts and styles of trading, and seeing someone elses charts and listening to their take on the markets is counter productive to concentrating on one's own methodology during the trading day. Again, this isn't a forum for new traders.

It has been said in this blog that our room "sucks". Well, I am not sure what it is that you are looking for , as this is a free room, with an open agenda. If you think it sucks, then speak up in the room and offer an idea as to how it could be better. We only ask that any discourse in the room be non-personal and respectful.

As far as posting trades is concerned, some of us do try and post what we are doing , as there are some who appreciate that information. I suppose we could say, no posting of trades allowed, but that would certainly be odd in a trading room. On balance I think that those who are choosing to post are doing so in a timely fashion. There are some that are not being timely as well. This will be an ongoing issue in chat rooms and I don't think that there is a perfect solution it.

I think we have a nice balance of traders and styles in the room. Some or more short term oriented than others and there is a variety of methods being used. I have been criticized in oms for allowing fib and other things to be discussed as it was not 50cci related. That is not what we are doing here, although becuase of the genesis of the room, the 50cci stuff is prevalent in what a lot are doing there. MarkB's willingness to share his material and techniques for using it is greatly appreciated. If you are not aware, there are places where you will pay $250/month for such material. I don't ever remember Mark posting trades or saying that he would, so I don't see where that is coming from.

Dharma and I are trying to post what we see using our charts when we can. Again, this is a free room and by now the issue of being paid for anything should have went away as it should be obvious that there are no such arrangements here with anyone. So, sorry that the room is not to anyone's liking, but it is to some. If you have an idea on how to make it better, speak up...in the room preferably. I am not hiding behind any anonymous label and no one will get booted unless they are there just stir up controversy.

That was posted in the comment section by DrBob.....of course, the best way to distract from your own behavior is to try and shift the topic away from you and to someone else....remembering that we can see the IP addresses of people visiting and posting in this blog and even if you, as a reader, think there is a whole group of people out there posting crap about this and that......WELL there really ain't now is there Bernice?

Any person, who uses the "anonymouse" feature to hide behind and then tries to throw stones really can't be taken to seriously by any rational thinking humans. But what else do you have to do, maybe you should work on the sidewinder and get it right!!!.....I won't try to hack our systems again or your backend is more then just grass....FOOL....we are waiting for you........
