The Goal of this site is to teach new and old investors how to be profitable, This site is not about trying to win a virtual stock game. So I have made an executive decision, we will stick with the original VSE stock game. I will close the other game. The goal is not to see who here can make the most $'s on their trades. The goal is for every participant to increase their knowledge of trading and to increase their fantasy account to a point where it becomes profitable. So whaterver glitches that might seem unfair, should be ignored as long as the person that benefitted from the glitch realizes it was only a glitch. These glitches may continue to pop up, be it good or bad, again the goal here is not to win, but to learn how to become profitable.
Being a male, I personally got caught up in the competition thing and lost focus as to why I originally set this site up, that was wrong on my part, and I appologize.
I will keep this VSE game going due to the fact that it can be a learning, and cost free, education. There will no longer be accolades for the person that had the best performance for the day, week or month. What the goal of this site is, is for everyone to become profitable. The percentage of profits do not matter,profitability matters.
For the ones that get into a trade that does not work the way you expected it to, please ask the question to this board why it did'nt work. By no means will I dump on you, and I would expect others on this board not to dump on someone that makes a bad trade. When a trade goes bad, there is usually a technical reason for it, so I would encourage everyone here to analyize why a trade didn't work, to me that is more important than why a trade did work.
This board has several people on it that are damn good with TA, That does not mean we will not disagree on a particular stock once in a while, thats when we need to sit back and watch the stock to see who was right, then we need to figure out why that person was right and share the info. Everybody has a different style of TA, some work better than others, The goal of this board in my opinion, is to perfect a style that will be consistant for all of us, I personally want everyone that participates on this board to get to the point where most of their trades are profitable.
Percentage of profits does not matter, Profits matter, no matter what they are. A profitable trade means you made money and did not lose money, a $5.00 profit is better than a $5.00 loss.
In a nutshell, Yes I have talked alot, What I want from this board is a colaboration of the TA knowledgeable, with the TA challenged, so that we all can learn from each other and ultimately make all our trades profitable.
If you do not agree with this premise than please feel free to leave this board.
When I first started trading, I had no clue what I was doing (even though I thought I did) and lost alot of money becuase of that fact, But now that I have become successful, I am willing to help the people that are like me when I first started. I just wish I had someone to help me in the beggining.
