In trading, isolate yourself and work out the strategy/tactics for the timeframe you are trading. Try not to listen to others, no matter what their position and how big, nor offer your advice to others. If things turn out with a winthen take the accolades, if a loss comes about, take the loss and full blame for the misjudged trade. This is the essence of good trading, not bragging, asking other's for tips, prying into others' p&l, it does not matter one iota.
