Hello everyone.
I think the problems of stupid questions can be mitigated if the forum admins. implement some sort of rating system. So we can all rate a post. That way when we read a thread we can select only the posts which has a bigger ratings than others.

Good idea in theory but do you really want to wait until a mod has rated a post before you can read it? Or choose to?
And if you were an Admin you would need to douse yourself in oil, light it and then jumping from a bridge to escape the maintaince of it all

Bemac,

If you take a look at the replies I give, when someone says something like "I've read everything and still don't understand, can you explain a bit more?" I GLADLY help. Hey, I was that guy, and in some ways, am still that guy. In explaining something, I learn quite a bit more. It is not the question that I am intolorant of, but the attitude..

Two people can ask the same question, and I'd be upset at one and not the other. The reason is the attitude.

I wish I could post all the private PM's I get. The questions are polite, and cordual, and I answer EVERY SINGLE PM.

Nobody is smarter than me, and nobody is better than me. I'm not better than others and not smarter than others. I have 24 hours in a God given day just like everybody else.

I have a "search" button and I have "google.com" like everybody else. So I'm not exactly sure what the slack I'm suppose to give those who are too lazy to click on it is..

I posted the Guppy MMA.. someone posted in there, what the heck is that? And I tell them to search google and they said they did but found no results. WTF?? Is my google REALLY much better than theirs because typing in "guppy moving average" or "GMMA" or anything yielded over 10,000+ results. And see, that's pretty much when I get into my little tyrade..

If you don't know how to use google, your chances of succeeding in forex are ZERO. If you can't read the 2 posts above before asking a question, your chances of succeeding are ZERO.

We both know I can pull millions of examples from this and other boards. It's a fact of life, there are those who are lazy, and they take away from those who are trying to be productive.

It's like when your girlfriend asks you "Honey, does this dress make me look fat?" The truth of the matter is, her FAT @SS makes her look fat, it's not the dress.

Nobody wants to hear the truth but someone has to say it. If I'm unpopular for telling the truth, then so be it.

Not the admin, but the people who are registered in the forums should be the ones who rate the posts. Users rate individual posts so the system can produce overall ranks for posts, topics and users.
This is not new and I think there are already available plugins or mods for this forum to do that: http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=46456

It doesn't seem as if anyone is posting to this thread anymore and that's probably for the best. My thought: answering questions is much like watching TV. If you don't like what's on the tube you can always turn the SOB off. Don't blame others, the control is yours.

I am something of a lurker in these pages, for which you may be grateful?

However I am taking umbrage at the "stupid" word. I cant think of a better or a more tolerant word but I do understand TB's complaint. These pages do have pretty good search functions and I suspect they are not used all that much.

The real point for me is that we are all "stupid" to start with! The newbies need to ask Q's and that includes me. Someone above made the point that newbies really need help and maybe that help can be in the form of an administrators stickys like:
"Page for new members, READ this First" or
"How to Study these Pages without Upsetting the Other members"

These pages are primarily for learning and if I ever get to be able to assist then I shall, and be willing to "give something back" for my tuition.
Good Trading to All ---- fairwind

I agree 100% with all said by you since the beggining of the thread.

It is really boring to see people asking and asking more when everything has allready been explained several time and when a simple google search or using the search option of the forum should give the proper answer about 99% of the time.

For many users arriving here, their 1st post is : i dont understand how to use the indicator you have posted, can you explain more than the 3*1000 word explanation you have posted allready ? or "i dont understand you trading strategy, can you explain more than the 100 reply you allready gave to the same question i am asking now ?

This is just annoying for the newbie poster who rediculize himself and for the topic originator who will get angry if he is like me and eventually will reply with BAD words...

Have gone back 1 year on daily charts of G/U, G/Y, E/U, and E/Y pairs and tested manually. All profitable. Not Holy Grail, but profitable. You want more? Used Donchian 20 pd., T3 8,.7 with HA candles per original post of method. Enter on breach of Donchian. SL, previous candle open. Looks like will work best with set profit targets. Bleary eyed and very sleepy! Anyone trading the HAT? Nothing I say is trading advice!!! Hope someone will check my results just to be sure.
