I don't recall that name although I do sometimes look on other trading sites. When looking at other forums I don't really find anything to help myself apart from seeing how others think and therefore how I shouldn't. I've been aware for a long time after grasping the principles of trading that...

It was on Trade2win, referred to as the Zoo by some. The mods there were too thick for my liking. I went into a private forum with a few others that TE set up. He was banned, due to some extent by his use of colourful language on the main forums, which I thought was just tongue in cheek banter...

Does the fifth word precede these four? H** T* T**** C******** If so I'm not sure what the fifth word would be, but possibly: LEARN

Those Who Can, Do; Those Who Can't, Teach In reply to J_S's latest puzzle: Wait has 4 letters

Equality, Evenly Distributed, BalanceD. I expect that everyone posting on this thread has their own horror stories about their own foolishness and lack of judgement - I certainly have - its quite normal I think.

From the chart alone and nothing else:

From vague recollection of reading posts in the distant past I have the impression that NY is in Canada, RN in Texas and The Oracle (who is probably J_S) is in Ireland. So they are probably on different continents. Maybe WW has limited the loss on his trade via an options trade, hence no stop...

What is wrong with those you mention? Mental blindspots for various possible reasons: lack of open mindedness, dismissive attitude, unwillingness to deviate from the path taught, to go with the crowd, inability or lack of tools and training to test an idea themselves, lack of motivation to try...

I wonder how many of those who claim to have had an 'ah ha' moment when reading this thread were actually thinking of the same thing, or something which is different for each person. Mass Delusions and Hysterias: Highlights from the Past Millennium... I have read in a good medical work that a...

I expect the difference is that the few were capable of changing the way they thought and acted.

To avoid biased thinking and behaviour

So much for honesty and principles, we are all human though!

Without disrespecting others, there is only one person that you NEED to follow:
