View Full Version : Before starting a new thread...

If you wish to start a general thread about a particular stock please do a search first to see if a thread on that stock already exists. It's important that all general discussion on a particular company be kept in the one thread, otherwise we will be having the same discussions over and over again in different threads!

If you wish to start a thread on another topic, do a search to see if a similiar discussion has already taken place in the past. You would be suprised how many topics have already been covered in some depth on ASF.

If a thread on the stock or topic you wish to discuss has not yet been created then by all means go ahead and create one. :)

I'm not trying to stifle thread creation in any way - in fact I actively encourage it - I'm just trying to prevent too many duplicate threads. ASF has been getting very busy lately and I've noticed them becoming more a little more common. However, if you feel a current thread doesn't cover a topic in the way you'd like to approach it then feel free to start one of your own.

Thank you all for your co-operation.

Just a reminder for those who haven't been here long: before starting a new thread please do a search using the site search function to see if a thread on that stock or topic already exists.

Duplicate threads will be either merged or removed.

I am fairly new .. completed one trade (lost) and have 2 new ones open.

I have not posted the open trades in case it is considered as ramping?

Any chance of instead of a new thread having a NEW FORUM along the lines of FOLLOW MY TRADE where newbies like me could post open trades giving reasons why it was entered, trading plan stop loss etc without quoting quantities bought.

This would give the experienced traders (those generous souls who donate their time) a chance to point out possible flaws and suggest better management.

It may give us new fish a chance at surviving in this caper before we get eaten :)

Thanks Joe

Hi Robe_ee... I have no objection to members starting their own thread in the 'Trading Strategies/Systems' forum to document their trades or trading methodology. In fact, I would prefer people do this than to tell us about their trades in threads on particular stocks, which I feel is unnecessary.

The only request I will make if people are going to start a 'follow my trade' kind of thread is that they explain the thinking behind their trades in some detail. This way the threads will benefit others and hopefully generate some useful discussion.

See this thread for some tips on using the ASF site search: http://www.aussiestockforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8380

Thank you for your attention. :)

Your account has been correctly activated so I'm not sure why you would be having problems posting.

To create a new post in a thread that already exists:

Click on the 'New Reply' button after the most recent post in the thread.


To create a new thread:

Go into the forum most relevant to the topic of your thread.
Click the 'New Topic' button you will see at the top and bottom of the list of threads.
Title your thread as accurately as possible, while trying to also be as succinct as possible.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, maybe common knowledge,
but
threads should ideally use words with a space , " " , before and /or after (and/or where possible) - rather than asterisks etc immediately adjacent to the words .

Example (sorry noi, but I'm gonna use one of yours as an example)

Only two of these will show up if you search for threads with a title including the word "Tunes"

Tunes - yes
*Tunes* - no
* Tunes * - yes
