Firstly I don't remotely think @
indextrader7 intended to accuse anyone.
Secondly I appreciate @
xelaar for openly sharing his combine attempt with the community - it not only takes courage, guts etc. but shows that you have faith in yourself, trust in the world at large.
And no, documenting a combine journey isn't "showing off" - a combine journal is all about the sweat, hard work, decisions taken on the spur of the moment - given the possibilities of what all can go wrong, building a solid track record is no mean achievement.
So folks, wave your white flags - and also wave a chequered flag for @
xelaar so that he completes his combine with good cheer - I wholeheartedly support his development having gone through the labor pains myself

Can you help answer these questions

I'm curious @
iqgod , what do think is meant by indextrader's post?
Or, better yet, can @
indextrader7 himself tell us why he made that post?

Wouldn't it be funny if we had the boys from TST on a webinar and they said ... "xelaar , indextrader ... never heard of either of them !"

Tired today. I took only 2 trades. One I cut short as it went nowhere near my target, second could hit my target 20 ticks, but I cut it short at 7. Hard to trust it when most trades provide just a small blip my way. I am working on a reversal trade concept though.
