    Some people are probably built to lose to fulfill some kind of need or desire. Accepting a loss can help, but to celebrate it according to NLP... who are you modelling ?? "It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change"...

    What is an edge?

    Just wanted to give some input. I disagree with the idea that a high IQ has anything to do with success rates playing the markets.
