Some overconfident jobber, traders, fund managers are still out there in every where.

The institutions which employ them are responsible for the risk control systems...but many times they turn blind eye to these and keep hoping that the losers will turn into winners and they can show big profits in their balance sheets and keep their performance bonuses in tact.

R u calling champion to Banks like Standard Chartered who faces $4.4 billion commodities hit? :lol:

Banks are champion in another field but, it is our play ground, our game.
No one can beat us IN TRADING using money power.
We can WIN big in Crude Oil Trading using Free charting like GCI/investing.com, crap terminals like Nest/Odin because, we are Traders. :thumb:

Best Wishes & Happy Trading.

What surprises me is how their risk control system goes for a toss or such losses are hidden...

I think they tried to predict where Crude Oil will Stop Falling(tried to Catching a falling knife) by taking Huge Long Positions multiple times in this long bear run.

In my opinion, for Banks, Greed is the main enemy of the losing in the Commodity Market. On the other hand Fear is the main enemy of the losing in Equity market for them.
Whenever there is a long bear market Banks lost billions, bcoz they can't control their emotions. They lost big in 2008 also.
Good for Traders.

Best Wishes & Happy Trading.

Individual traders could be much better than many institutional traders....research, large pool of funds,softwares,fancy terminals do not guarantee the success in trading. What surprises me is how their risk control system goes for a toss or such losses are hidden...

when you started to see silly everything less than 10% yield because of FDs, Bonds, then they started to do something unknowingly wrong.

maybe the individual fund managers had side bets going on

Trend determination and interplay of various trends is the base of my trading ...and it is definite....no guesswork in that. But explaining trends will take many posts ...it is a subject for one very big thread...

My experience is trends is a subject which takes lots of explaining, giving examples, correcting charts posted by others, lots of arguments,lots and lots of posts and it will not be easy to do it in the forum post format.

Yep, somebody on the other side made those money on the plus side and even I would like to know who it mainly was.

If new thread opened in a section where only the thread starter allowed to post and separate thread for Q&A by members. Flow of main thread will not disrupt by peoples wanting useless arguments

Q&A answered only on weekends (or in your time) and selectively for Qs which are relevant

Requested you because reading your thoughts gave me feeling that U genuinely feel for peoples & traders. I know it's not easy and it is great demand on your time, but I mean that even one post (or 2-3 posts) per week outlining each idea/ step will be enough. Not looking at instant Maggi but slow thoughtful way of learning and practicing stepwise

Thanks for considering
