DislikedHi Kill
I think you will find that most people left cos it degenerated into everything but a forex thread with big egos not accepting that strategies other than their own could work.
I agree with you it once was the best thread with 80+ traders on here at any one time, now your lucky if it is 20+ and they are all noobies (like me)
It;s a shame as if a few of the egos would have accepted the differing strategies then we could have all learnt from each other.
As an example, Cloggie used to slate everyone who looked to pick tops/bottoms or...Ignored
I believe that this thread emptied because of sheep mentality. Nothing to do with ego battles... if that is what they are called. The banter and the battles are what made this thread such an entertaining read. The senior members, are what made it a brilliant learning environment. Thank God some of them are still around.
Meanwile ...i believe that the smart money that went over to euro, in the broader spectrum of institution traders, big retailers and small did so because they anticipated some fast action: Greece, Ireland, Spain, Portugal. errmmm. etc. I think that they will soon be back to cable...not going into the fundermentals other than saying that once the big money comes back into the market next week( traditional back to work time) i believe that cable will gradually resume the lead as the most volatile dollar pairing...the reason we were all here in the first place,no?
The senior members who are getting so much sh*t on eur. thread are also building a well deserved following. All in all i've every confidence that normal service will soon be resumed.
In the meantime...a big round of applause for the excellent traders who have kept this thread going..in no particular order..
Tau Trader, Ctic,Redsword, Chazzle..yehyehyeh, Gsantri, ,bbmac,Ifty,Java, GlobalMacro,Fudomyo, if i've forgotten anyone plz. accept my apologies.
Magix, bbakker,Cloggie, Wormie, Kill, Dr.D,Digger ....you know i love you anyways.... and Cloggs its all your fault..you are on record as saying about end Aug.that "the smart money is in euro". ...whoooosh... all the sheep followed.
Plz bring the smart ones back with you.
