1 is what suits me best, I always try to improve my knowledge and skills.
I hope I can tell right negative comments from wrong ones.

1 = Yes – I might just have learn’t a valuable lesson from the negative comments.
2 = No – we all go through coding ups and downs, good days and bad days. If the person dissing my code is right then I can work my way back up from any low much quicker.
3 = I don’t post any strategy codes because if all my hard work creates a winner then why would I give it a way for free? So that only leaves the rubbish strategies and who wants to see them!
4 = Not at all – every failure is something that someone can learn from.
I’m guessing that this topic is in response to my recent comments on another topic where I gave my thoughts on the high probability of the offered strategy being curve fitted when the creator of it asked for feed back.
Personally I love learning new stuff and if someone comes along and tells me that I am doing something badly or even wrong then I don’t mind them telling me that as long as they can tell me why they think that I am doing it wrong or better still can prove why. I hate to waste my time continuing on doing something the wrong way when I could instead just stop doing it like that and spend the time trying to work on a better way to do it.
We can all improve through constructive criticism as long as it is correct constructive criticism.
Admitting that you are wrong is one of the toughest things for many people to do as no one likes to admit they are possibly an idiot – but once you accept that we all have something to learn from others and that we are all just human and quite often wrong about things then learning becomes much easier.

I havnt posted a full code of something that i run. But i would still love to add my 2 cents as always lol.
“Negative comments” might be the wrong word here. How can u say that something is negative?
If its constructive criticism about something that you could have done better, then you should really take that comment to ur heart and work on whatever it might be.
If its just a negative comment like “This sucks… give up!” Then obviously noone wants that.Negative comments that might go like “I dont really like ur code, i cant see how it would work good” is not very constructive, if u elaborate on why you think it wont work, why you dont like the code, and what you would have done differently, then its a “positive comment” in my eyes. Its giving u fresh perspective on a matter that have only seen your perspectives on things.
Im also, as awlays, gonna leave a quote from some podcast, cant remember which one, belive it might be from “The money tree investment podcast” and as usual, im paraphrasing here:
“I belive we all have gaps in our knowledge, and thus our strategies are missing huge gaps of … whatever its missing! And we cant tell whats missing until someone else points it out to us because we will always have the same perspective when making the strategy, our own, and it takes an outsiders perspective to tell you what gaps are missing and how u can fill those gaps.”
