Traders Train Suggestions

So I think I speak for everyone that uses this forum that it tends to seriously lag the rest of WSO as far as content. I know there are quite a few traders/sales guys out there with tons of stories and great information that the potentials could greatly use. I am encouraging you to kick it up a notch and be more active if possible.

I have noticed considerable improvement in new quality content but right now I am reaching out to all the users of this forum to contribute more.

I am dedicated to helping others learn as much as they can about the life of a trader and the daily issues they face.

The need to remain anonymous often gets in the way of faciliating great ideas on this forum. If possible strive to be specific about the product you are referring to. This will help eliminate confusion.

Please, if you have any suggestions on what could be done to make the traders forum more interesting please respond to this thread.

 

"I know there are quite a few traders/sales guys out there with tons of stories and great information that the potentials could greatly use. I am encouraging you to kick it up a notch and be more active if possible"

are you going to pay me?

 

I'd love to see this forum more active. I think what that requires is better questions/topics that the content providers are interested in providing.

me and the others with experience on the board provide the majority of the content/advice here. we do this for free, and frankly get little or nothing in return in the way of information/new knowledge, except from each other.

so be grateful with what you've got, and until you can provide something, try to ask better questions. and once you do know something, pass it on.

 

Jimbo you contribute a lot and really couldnt ask more of you. The only thing else really I could ask of you would be to provide interesting or anecdotal stories just that come with the territory of being a trader.
