I’m New To TRADING – Where Do I Start?

You're obviously a trader. You're visually oriented to learning. You cannot learn without visual cues to what I would present. Yet on my charts are copyrights and watermarks. I cannot spend the time playing editor to photos to present what I know. So rather than put hours into that, my time is much more efficiently consumed with other market related work. I do teach yes, But far from what a solicitation would be, I do it for free every day. So if I am giving away baskets of plumbs I'm going to be discretionary as to the grief I get from doing so.

Hi NVendetti,
I apologize if I've given you the impression that vendors are not welcome here. That is not the case. We embrace 'good' vendors with open arms and, indeed, I've defended a number of them over the years. Whether you're a 'good' vendor that benefits the site and its members or are a 'bad' vendor is down to you. Your posts and how you interact with our members will, ultimately, reveal which side of the divide you are on. Sadly, your responses to me are not encouraging. That said, my job demands that I keep an open mind and think the best of people until proven otherwise.

As for 'amateurs leading the ship' - that rather depends upon where the 'ship' is heading and how it gets there. T2W has been going for a long time and thousands of members have benefited from it - and continue to do so - in line with the objectives that I linked to in my last post. Perhaps I/we are amateurs, but many would say that no one does it better than us.

One last point: there's no issue with screen shots. Plenty of vendors post screen shots with watermarks without any problem at all. As I'm sure you realize, it's all about intent. Either you're here to help our members or you hope to profit from them. The former is great and the latter isn't. It's that simple.

No one - least of all me - is making any childish accusations. I've done my best to welcome you, compliment you on your posts thus far and to provide you with a helpful 'heads up' about the way the forum works to ensure that you stay on the right side of our Mod' team. That you've taken umbrage at my sincere efforts says more about you and your motives for being here than it does about me. Either way, our members will draw their own conclusions which I suspect will reflect those already expressed by Brumby.

To end on a high note, your can easily demonstrate that you're a 'good' vendor by following the advice I've offered thus far. We are very experienced at dealing with vendors and the membership (not me) will quickly determine whether or not you are here to serve their best interests or your own. The choice is entirely down to you.
Tim.

Hey NVendetti

Welcome to trade2win.......I’ve been on this site for a few years now and have mentored and trained hundreds of traders over the years so am classified as a vendor by the trade2win gang

I have found the guys very fair and objective in dealing with me over the years ....they have to manage the situation of commercial traders here as they do have a duty to protect the community from vendors who are looking to make a quick buck promoting their products and services ....of which there have been many !

If you present genuinely good quality material and advice here over a long period of time you will be welcome and accepted into the community .....if not then I suggest you go elsewhere to the myriad of other forums catering for vendors ...

I find trade2win a much more friendly environment for vendor/traders than other forums .....and so do many of the traders I have worked with .....

Anyway welcome again
Neil
