    I have read "Trading in the Zone" but still struggling with psychology

    Agree. I don't like comparisons of trading to gambling in any way. In gambling, the odds are fixed and against you... yet you play hoping to prevail against the odds and win anyway. In trading, you are supposed to win. The only way you lose is if you screw up.

    I have read "Trading in the Zone" but still struggling with psychology

    Interesting. Making a losing play at roulette causes no anguish because you expect to lose on each spin if you pick a number... odds are 1:38 against a win. (Don't think I could ever become that cavalier about losing trades, though.)

    I have read "Trading in the Zone" but still struggling with psychology

    MattZ makes a good point.... discipline. Discipline in trading is, "doing what you're supposed to, even if it makes you a bit queasy." Discipline can come when you "KNOW you are probably doing the right thing". Of course you'll have to understand why it's probably the right thing. Douglas...

    AOC 2.o

    That's a major goal of Leftism everywhere... including the US DemoCraps.

    How Costco gained a cult following — by breaking every rule of retail

    Costco isn't the cheapest on every item, but near the cheapest on many, many items. 30-40% discount not uncommon. They have good meats, too. Often, $12.99 for Prime Rib Eye. Check that out at your local grocer! (Save $.30-$.50/gal on Top Tier gasoline, too.) If you're a single person and...

    Greece falls into chaos and poverty

    Seems socialism has appeals.... until you've tried it out. Then you understand how it SUCKS! (Unfortunately by the time you've experienced it and really understand*... as opposed to merely fantacizing about the notion... too late to rectify.) *Don't believe? Just ask Venezuelans or Cubans...

    Slopeof hope

    Tim Knight did great for a while. Then at some point he got fixated on his perception of the "fundamentals".... and what the market should be doing because of them, in his mind. This "trap" has happened to many others before him. Had he focused upon "Price TA", he never would have been so...

    Cheap Dell refurbs (they sell out real fast)

    I never knew there was a "dellrefurbished" site. Looks like that site is/was the DFS one... Dell Financial Services. They're not all that refurbished but are rather off-lease returns. They come with 90 day warranty. If there is warranty claim, they basically don't fix anything, just refund...

    How Does UHTV (3840X2160) Display on SD Signal?

    Answering my own question.... Actually it displays quite well. Using 4x3 format you get dark/gray bars on both sides, of course. Old analog content like MASH or Gunsmoke is decent. More recent digital content looks almost as good as HD if viewed from a reasonable 12 feet. (The reason you'd...

    The End Of Win 7

    If I were looking for a used rig to run W7, I'd choose the T3620 over the T3600. Also would consider HP Z420. (I you wanted to go really cheap, perhaps a Dell T3500. I bought one on eBay for $75 just for a backup.)

    The End Of Win 7

    You'll be able to use W7 for a long time for gaming and office suite functions. Of course over time it will become more and more vulnerable to compromise if accessing the internet. Any of the workstations in Dell's Precision line will have at least 2 PCIEx16 slots. You can run 2, dual head...

    No Longer Able To Bookmark Stockcharts.com Pages

    Interesting. Bookmarking failed in FF, Pale Moon, and IE... ?? Bookmarking other pages works OK, just not Stockcharts. Same problem on 2 other computers. (In one case I ran up a perf chart. Then tried to bookmark it. Initially, bookmark function gave me an option to "bookmark this page"...

    No Longer Able To Bookmark Stockcharts.com Pages

    Looks like Stockcharts.com is blocking the ability to bookmark their web pages. Anyone else experience this, or is it just my rig?? (Assuming they are doing that to encourage paid subscription... ??)

    Conditions On San Francisco Streets Like "Slums Of Mumbai, Delhi,... & Manila"

    All of these concerns... regardless of whatever damage disregarding them could do to our country... are being TREASONOUSLY dismissed to achieve a nefarious political objective. :(

    Can I Deduct Computer and Software Costs if I Don't Have Trader Tax Status

    Like I said, "hoops". Must evaluate the benefit vs. "costs + hassle" to determine whether it would be worth it.

    Can I Deduct Computer and Software Costs if I Don't Have Trader Tax Status

    If you want to deduct those items, operate from a "C Corp". (Hoops to jump through, of course.)

    What if They Run Out of Juice: Biggest Share-Buyback Queens

    Funny how share buybacks were at one time considered "stock manipulation" and were illegal. I guess they eventually figured out that "rigging the markets to go up" benefitted enough of the "right" people so should be allowed... kind of like Congress being allowed to conduct stock trades on...

    Besides the "jackboot on your neck", controlling everything you say, do, think....these pics are EXACTLY what Leftism (Socialists, Progressives, Communists... and unfortunately American DemoCraps) is all about. That is, 90% of the people poor as shit and the 10% privileged elete living the rich...
