thread

i believe that we are currently experiencing one of the most difficult market times in recent memory. i was very surprised this morning that there were almost no responses to my posts. i have spent part of the day in pm's with stan and ian talking about how hard it is to trade successfully in a market that seems to take traders out almost every day. i have noticed that many that contributed to this thread are no longer doing so or are posting a lot less than they used to.

i think we have seen across SI this year many good traders that have had to return to jobs to support themselves as the market no longer provides the income it used to. some of us, myself included, own businesses that allow us to trade on the side without worry that we cannot provide for our needs. i suspect that many do not.

my purpose in writing this message is to encourage traders not to suffer alone. i know that the most difficult thing for many is to admit defeat or that they are close to such yet i know that we can only learn from our mistakes and one way to learn is to share. i don't want to encourage people who are being hurt in the market to stay in it but to talk about how they feel now.

i think one can only think of themselves as being defeated if they fall and don't get back up. i think we can only be as strong as we share and help each other through difficult times. perhaps it is a matter of sharing strategies for success or perhaps it is only to share a shoulder for support but i want everyone here to know that we care about each other and that we don't have to suffer losses alone.
