I'm opening this journal as I feel I need a home on FIO to put stuff. As the title implies, this will be a collection of random thoughts, images, posts from other threads, and things I want to keep track of in one place. I post in a lot of places and receive a lot of questions all over FIO but its really unorganized so when I get a repeat question or want to find something, I always go searching for it and its become a PITA. My idea is to go find some of that stuff (things people liked or I felt was valuable) and put it here for future reference. I have also considered the idea of posting trades here rather than on the Spoos and Scalpers threads as I have been adding markets that I trade and want some organization- if I do, I will still post analysis in those other places.
Anyone is welcome to post ideas and questions, trade examples, porn (no dudes please) or whatever they wish here but, if you post a trade, it must have an explanation or we must be able to reasonably identify where you are coming from via a prior post- I am the only exclusion to this rule because its my thread and I need a place to put stuff and sometimes it will just be a picture or trade with no explanation for my benefit. One last thing about posting- If you quote someone's post with a picture in it, remove the image so it looks cleaner- that drives me nuts and while we're on the etiquette subject- If you read it and you like it-don't be a Dick- hit the "Thanks" button!
I've had this idea for a while but didn't have the time to do it. With tax season behind us and the slow summer grind beginning, now is as good of a time as any. Be warned- this thread is going to be very disorganized as is my brain! I'm thinking of using the title box and a few subject labels (Context, Psychology, ES Trade, CL Trade, etc.) to allow the search function to do its thing- we shall see how that works out. Lots of cross posts coming soon- If you have any of my posts from your journal or around the various threads on FIO that you think would be good to add here- please add them.
