The Trading Desk Thread has had good success in providing valuable content to traders and other active investors. Subject 15612
As traders, we all know that noone is immune to bad trades or bad investment decisions. I am suggesting this thread as a place where we can share our worst trades, our worst investments, those trades we'd like back.
I feel that this would be 1) exceptionally entertaining and 2)would also provide incredible insight into what to avoid in navigating the markets.
Please present the trade, the error you made, how it resolved itself and what you may have learned from it. Hopefully everyone will feel comfortable sharing their worst as that is where we will learn the most.
**One condition should be that noone should take any cheapshots or make fun of anyone who is sincere enough to present their very worst. Dialogue should be constructive.
Hopefully we can all take away a few valuable lessons.
