What are your thoughts on this quiz? Would you say you could relate yourself to any of these animals?

What you should be not allowing is the "gomarkets" forex broker hyperlink in the text of the original post . . . surely?

I have queried that fact here.

Seems wiz has a problem with neutrality and even handedness.I guess that's the new policy here.Naturally this is doing nothing to stem the outflow of long termers here.You won't be seeing much of zdo in future.

I can only assume they want a complete change here in favour of a more commercially successful model.And we know what that means don't we?

 

Doesn't really make much sense either way. Do TL have an IB deal with "gomarkets" or whatever they were called? I doubt it. TL IB links generally seem to be automated, like when I type the wrod "tradestation" . . .

 

Maybe The Wiz has "gone native"?

Maybe I am missing something but I could not find a quiz anywhere on this thread. Was it removed?

[UrmaBlume 10]

Of course TL is a business and we shouldn't forget that. We also should not forget that it is the best of all the rest of the trading forums and I for one find the management more fair and easier to deal with than any of the others.

 

Not all vendors are snake oil salesmen and not all products discussed here are worthless. I think a ban on any mention of commercial products or services by their authors keeps valuable information away from us all. We all use products and services in our trading. I think TL does a good job of letting us hear from providers while at the same time working hard to eliminate blatant, repetitive spam.

 

Better a free market and let the fools and charlatans reveal themselves as they always do. Who in their right mind spends time on threads where some semi literate braggart talks about making a billion dollars trading forex or other threads with nothing but past posted trades.

 

We should assume that on any free forum we will always have to shift through a mountain of buschwa to find value.

 

In the meantime if anybody knows a forum that is better managed or contains more information please let us know. For sure it aint ET, Mikes or T2W.

 

In the meantime, thanks TW.

 

cheers

Hi Wiz,

 

You weren't meant to remove the image with the descriptions, just the broker hyperlink underneath!

 

Without the image, the thread now has absolutely no point of reference; it is a signpost to nowhere, like something from Baudrillard's worst nightmares . . .

 

Please can you restore the image? If I don't have the chart from the opening post how will I know whether to define myself as a Bull or a Shark or a Squirrel or a Smurf, or whatever those helpful classifications were?

 

Or . . . why not just remove this whole pointless, meaningless, rambling thread?

Yes, the quiz was removed.

 

It was a quiz to help you decide what kind of animal you are: a Shark, a Bull, a Squirrel, or a pug-faced seal cub destined to be clubbed over the head and made into a nice hat . . .

 

'Cos that's really why you came to a TRADING FORUM, isn't it - to find out what kind of animal you were?

 

You want one more chance? Get dressed. I'll show you my charts.

Is there any other reason?

Knowing what type of animal you are is great for storytelling, but in the reality of trading the markets do not care and will take your money just the same.

The market is fair. Sometimes you get to enjoy a bounty and sometimes you get held down over a barrel and get relentlessly taken advantage of. Most traders, though, are traumatized by the latter and have difficulty with the future. Few traders learn that the boning you get is only figurative. The market doesn't only take money from you.

Right, I was saying that if you are worried about your trading animal character then you are probably losing money.

[Patuca 13]

I must be a piss ant. I ain't losing any money (right now anyway) and i am pissing on everyone else! LOL :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[reandre 10]

Is there a quiz or something to determine what kind of trader you are? Or you just simply identify your own self?

[jabeen100 10]

There are many types of trader. I think, Stock trader is the best.

Depending on how much risk of exposure they’re willing to incur, dealer s usually direction on one or more areas involving increment , value or income building. Growth -centered trading involves the exercise of purchasing broth in society that are poised to grow and expand their winnings . This case of trading might focus on investment in new companies, which offer rapid increment potentiality . As a troupe grows, the value of its blood line certificate will rise, bringing the stock trader profits. Growth-centered trading may include potentially risky speculation like buying into a business IPO (Initial Public Offering). IPOs are a commodity example of how growth-centered trading can potentially bring great rewards; but it also carries a high risk of loser . Bargainer who pursue a growth-oriented stock-trading strategy must have the confidence to confidence their own instinct rather than quest reassurance from sure fact s. Value-focused investment is one in which monger are on the lookout for underpriced stocks at companies that have the potential to perform better than their stock price seems to indicate. One way is to uncovering companies that have significantly low er stock prices than that of their major rival . It is important to ensure that the company in question has not manipulated its 2 senses of dealing to make the stock price fall instead of rise. Once honesty and integrity are established, along with the fact that the company’s share price is under-valued, the value trader is now in a position of less risk. Income -oriented investing is the most conservative of commons stock trading strategy . In income-oriented trading, the focus is on capital preservation, with low price wavering being of the utmost importance. Since a steady income is the objective, an income-oriented investing style will focus on the biggest and best-known companies, those that dominate their particular market segment and can be counted upon for steady growth and profit. The emphasis is always on getting prestigious or blue chip stocks.
