I think it is some times difficult to see what is going on behind such tip and call posters. Traderji not can see behind all the members and here our common sense has to come in place.
As ST clearly told: TJ does not support such members.
Now how can you as a normal member find out what is going on when calls and tips are posted in an open forum?
Answer: You should ask your self a few questions:
1. If you are successfully in trading, what could be your motivation to post any calls in an open forum?
To help others.
2. How responsible are you for any loss which is made on such calls and tips?
Non.
3. If you have any successful system, what is your reason to not post it and only give calls on it?
Secret, as I am such a clever person.
4. Why do we see suddenly new members clapping there hands to such tips and calls and telling how good they are? Members we have never seen and heard before off.
Because the calls and tips are so good that we had to join the forum.
5. Why does the tip or call giver ask to press the thank button for him to show how good his tips and calls have been?
Because that is why the thanks button is here.
You can add more to that list and as long as you make your self such thoughts, you will be able to have enough distance to any such call givers and not will trade any of there tips and calls.
You may follow the thread and as last point: Wait, watch, may do self analyzes from what is posted and wake up at the moment the first wrong tip or call is given. At that moment you know: Aha, not as important as shown as it is only an other way of trading which is as imperfect as any other way of trading.
In case you do follow the tips and calls because you do not know how to do it by your self, hopefully you loose big money and then you may start to use your brain and learn it by your self.
