Your post got hammered because there is a mass of subtlety in this thread that has developed over its lifetime. Yesterday was a great day - and even my granny would have made profit. These days are rare. When it gets tough the techniques and the psychology in this thread will keep you safe from huge losses and in the running to keep profitable consistently. Losses are part of the game. SO while people may come across as tough on you - take note of what is being said to you, otherwise what is helping you profit onthe great days will kill you on the difficult ones.
