Re: FF pisses me off.
It just occurred to me that I can do the 'vouch' bit at least - I assume you have the same username at FF. I have dropped you a vouch. There are three varieties of Sojourner, but only one with 3 posts in 6 years, so I decided that must be you.

Read the effing manual, ok?

Re: FF pisses me off.
I rarely post on FF anymore, one alarming trend I've seen over my time on there is; if someone creates a trade explorer which shows monumental gains week after week, their thread (if they decide to create one) almost always gets deleted, its almost a conspiracy that if anyone on there is making a high % gain, hide their posts and don't let the others see, for what reason I really don't know.
One idea I've thought of is that FF is funded mainly by broker advertisements, if all of these were 100% NDD/STP and 0% were market makers/bucketshops then they'd have no problem with people posting threads showing high % gain, but as, I'm guessing, the majority of the ads are by brokers who are bucket shops, posting a method which will give you high % gain if followed will obviously hurt their profits.

Re: FF pisses me off.
An interesting thread to take a look at FF is "The Perfect System" by Articulate, it's in the newbie section for some reason but shouldn't be. Its more longer term technical analysis which generally bores me stupid but its a reflection of how quiet the market has been recently that I read it end to end and even summarised the posts into a booklet.
Has some interesting ideas and analysis and has pretty much avoided the dickhead style posts so far
