I know what you mean. My solution was to change settings so no notification comes from the thread subscription but only from subscription to specific members. Another way would be to only subscribe to members and not threads. Anyway just a ...

The Swamp

Idk. I thought the intention was to start something that would get good trading talk going in a place away from trollish comments (like the one you just made). I'd say it's been working perfectly myself.

Direct negative correlation to how 'liquid' my day becomes on illiquid market days Beers cold and charcoal is hot. Last blast of summer in full effect in the backyard.

The Really Useless Thread

Another remarkably useful week on the really useless thread. Thanks as always sisse for your efforts and patience. Good weekend all! (Good holiday weekend for those in the US)

The Really Useless Thread

Yes! I can stop hopping around now as I am officially done kicking my own ass on that one. Thanks for the perspective btw

The Really Useless Thread

It's interesting. I mean the options seem designed for quick thinking around the event but we are positioning with a bias towards the results ahead of time with the buy or sell call. All options seem reasonable since each one is tied to an nfp ...

Sellin Yellen.

I hear you. BUT I COULD HAVE BEEN A CONTENDER!

Oh hell yes. But that FOMO is a bitch

Agree with Earlobe. Like my high school report card--straight C's. (Don't feel bad, my autocorrect turns me into goosebumps)

The Really Useless Thread

Cleared all at 113x. Your point about Aug nfp history was reinforced with further research. (and I'm a chicken). Been simultaneously patting myself on the back and kicking myself in the ass ever since, which is not easy. Tells me the right call was ...

@Fadhl check the posts and pages around this one.

The Really Useless Thread

Yeah I got bad memories of that one personally. I got the direction way wrong and nothing else mattered after that. But hey there's a good lesson in just that. And like I said before I'm trying to more closely examine my fck ups than my scores. ...

The Really Useless Thread

That's sound planning (not that you need me to tell you that). And interesting about nfp in Sept. Im taking another look too. In my case its probably prudent to at least limit some risk by taking half off the table so I probably will do that between ...

The Really Useless Thread

Yep. I see that 1092. Think I'm holding the whole position til nfp punishes or rewards me for the decision.

The Really Useless Thread

Thanks for your thoughts on it. I see what you mean. I entered with two equal shorts up around that bear norm on your map and wish it was 4 or 5 entries rather than two since now my choice is to put away 1/2 here pre nfp (for reasons you mentioned) ...

The Really Useless Thread

Those who chose A (pharmor, fisher, ptoftagency, suntan) can I ask if your decision on this was at all based on 116x as a st flip level? Like, if 116x is flip and St outlook is neutral, with news coming A makes much more sense to me than B. So I'm ...

B please

Respectfully--enough campaigning friend. Safe to say everyone knows where you stand on it.

The Really Useless Thread

Definitely. Pretty clearly understand #3 now and I'm starting to get #2 and how it relates (leads into) #1. This has been the iteration that turned on the brightest light for me so far. As far as #4 goes, dealing with fifo over here in the "land of ...
