gann, you really have not figured that out?

What is that quote I love sooo much? oh yeah "Attachment the great fabricator of illusions"

I can assure you that no meditation at all is neccesary (just some objective common sense) the age thing dosent fly either, I know my man Dan caught it right away and I sure did after a second of shock :) I am a youngbuck 22 years young :)

After reading some of the responses here I now see why "ghost bids" and "cranks" are so often employed :p :D :p

Gann, Cmon you seem like a pretty bright guy despite the "Murray Disease" -- read Rogue's statement and then look again...

Gann, What did I say trading was? oh yeah the shattering of what?

Rogue, R u serious with this? ---> nevermind I re-read what you said! EXCELLENT :) Commisso

Again Gann I am not trying to be insulting, but you do realize that the word monetary relates to the "fruits" of ones actions -- not the actual actions themselves right? I think most would have understood what you were pointing at if you used the word "technical" instead of "monetary" --...

Oh did not mean to be insulting at all -- it's just that sometimes it is hard to understand what you are pointing at :) Comisso

Personaly I don't think a trader needs to worry too much about the psychological side of the coin until he KNOWS he has some sort of proven methodical/technical edge... You can be the most disciplined trader in the world and without a proven "method" or some kind of built up intuition through...

Gann, Out of curiousity is your native tounge english?

Much better actually -- but the title of the thread was entitled "Monetary and Edge: Dividing Point"? I still don't fully get it though; are you asking how a traders method he may employ relates to his personal psycological make-up?

me niether :confused: Edit; Are you speaking of the technical(external) and psychological(internal) -- and how to balance the 2 as it relates to trading? or are you speaking about the monetary aspects of the game and to not let them effect your psycology? I'm kinda lost

Never heard of such a field of psychology -- sounds very interesting though. I think I shall check "memes" out :) You reminded me of three excellent books written by two seperate neurologists; Descartes Error; Emotion, Reason & The Human Brain -- Damasio The Feeling of What Happens; Body...

OK, well liked yours very much :D PEACE and goodtrading Don, Commisso

MU! :D :D :D You raise an interesting point, stating something about what "trading is" indeed affirms one thing and denies another... I understand what Joshu was pointing at with the Koan, but as long as the reader is intelligent enough to understand that words will always miss the...

Oh I think that is where I know that name from! I think there is a quote by him somewhere in one of my books; for the name really rings a bell... I may check out his work -- thanks for the tip :) PEACE and good-trading, Commisso

WDGann, I don't get your beef with me expressing my experience on this thread. You make it sound as if I sat back with a pad and pen, philosophised over what the game may be and then tried to go out there manifesting these ideas with my actions...:confused: Nothing could be further from...

Don, Nice contribution :) I couldn't agree more with Einstein when he said "Everything should be made as simple as possible..." Although, I am a little confused as to why you ended your post with "Although"? Do you feel that this thread and the expressions made on it somehow conflict with...

Dan, I have a good idea :) Why don't you start a thread relating to N.L.P and how you have utilized it to enhance your performance in trading? Also have you ever read any of Faulkner's work? PEACE and good-trading, Commisso
