TP
First and foremost, about bold fonts: Yaar, it has become habit since I started using this high-res screen, meant for graphic designing. SG will tell you it wasn't the case during olden times when I used ordinary screen. Anyway point noted. I will make a conscious effort not to do that, if it helps your mind getting rid of the psychological interpretations of garden-variety. (incidently, purple fonts too are no less guilty of what I am being accused of!
As far revealing the names of those guys is concerned, I am sorry I can't do that. That would be a breach of confidentiality that the PM promises. Even I have some principles to live by, yaar, though I am devilish through and through!
I tend to disagree that most of the visits on TJ are purely trade related. And yet, nor are they for mere fun sake. Besides, things are always organic on public forums: posts' contents which are generally not appreciated by the fellow members automatically get diminished over the time. So, one doesn't have to be a spokesperson for one and all. You see, TJ is is so popular because it accomodates traders of all kinds of temperament. Sombre ST, boisterous SG, barbed E1, carefree PT, inquistive TP...all should have a place under the sun. I would be extremely worried about TJ's future if covertly or overtly a particular kind of behaviour/trading ideology starts getting enforced on TJ. For example, I for one have been extremely benefitted in my trading by reading the experiences of ST, SG, Saint and other veteran traders. but, god forbids, if that day should ever arrive when I get tempted to be a xerox copy of either of them - either as a person or a trader! I am I - unique, period.
And the above last bit of the sentence should also give 'hint' as to why I only drop hints publically - not go the whole hog. My mother used to say: a clever horse takes the hint from the raised whip. A mule sometimes wouldn't budge if whipped whole day long! :lol:
Seriously, TP, my TA, my way of interpreting the market flow, is personally evolved and a bit different - perhaps even contradictory - from the known, established and accepted norms around. And I have no time or inclination to pit my package against theirs, thereby getting into arguements and bringing down idols. Recently, you have seen the consequence of it with Mano bhai. Last week or so, I posted LIC chart here with the intention that people holding it should think twice. But within 10 min. SG came up with a contadictory version. And I let the matter drop. You see, when it comes to trading, unnecessary tu-tu main-main is something I no longer enjoy. Come to think of it, all TA, methodologies would eventually fail in the absence of lack of prudence in fund management and position sizing. So there...
Thing is, personally, I want people to evolve as traders - develop their own style by watching the market with their own eyes, by taking an idea from here, another from there, assimilating, experimenting, figuring out inferences, testing in live market, correcting, adjusting...you know...evolving naturally, taking their time as per their aptitude and intelligence levels, going through paces - not getting readymade inforamation on trading or as some sort of formal style of education with an underlying premise that everybody is equal. To me, nothing is more delusional for the intellect than this notion. I know many of you will disagree with all this. But then again, each to his own.
Yes, you are right that some of the guys are in constant touch with me privately. Most of them are just good friends. We talk of many other things beside trading. But yes, I do help a few of them in time of doubt or crisis. For example, I saved this bullish positional guy a fortune a few weeks back by forcing him to get rid of about half a dozen 30 kg silver lots at $ 31.92, incurring a nominal loss of mere 20k as per his trading capital...
Hold an second... Talking about it got me thinking. I think I should discontinue this practice... Cause a) I am increasingly finding them getting dependent on me for trading. b) I am a die-hard capitalist. Therefore, I must absolutely abhor mere thanks or 'sirji, tusi great ho!'; I should get handsomely compensated for my efforts, you know!
:lol:
Take care. Have a nice weekend
