Thunderdog, if these moments of "weakness" also makes you change strategies, following whatever psychology advice or strategy makes you feel better, you might try looking into revising your principles or beliefs/philosophy. There will always be a lot of opinions and advice, most of them...

I second the touting of guarana from Brasil, but other than that I suggest a change in your lifestyle. If you exercise 1-3h/day - then I hope some of this includes team sports. You are overdoing things in my opinion. Besides, caffeine and other amfetamine-class drugs makes the rest of your...

Cream, cream, cream, I say. They shall be creamed. Markets are wonderfully unpredicatble. :D

"there are only three variables in trading (time, price, and volume), so with sufficient algorithm development skill IMO there is no hypothesized pattern in market action which cannot be coded and tested." These three variables you are quoting are again based on all the factors and players in...

Yup. Mickeysoft will be the end of you, they will be fined the equivalent of a "parking ticket to a millionaire". Later on Goldman Sachs will disappoint, and proclaim teddy-bearishness for the rest of 04. (ironic) :D

Bloomberg TV says asian stocks are following US futures with bounce after lunch over there. The volume is so puny (as always) during asian hours on the ES and NQ, that any sheep following US futures tonight is a sheep indeed. Cream them, I say, tar and feathers too !

Some say that the "heavies" (money managers) will try to make the quarter green ... It doesn't need to be so much of a movement at these levels, if they persist to the end of the month. Or it could be some other jokers. I hope they get creamed, though. :D

Nah, when OPEC switches over to EUR for their oil-barrels in stead of these USD IOUs, then we'll see true collapse. :D

I think the most important thing I learned from the best leaders I worked with on various world-first-class projects (like the world's 1st commercial H.323 network services) was that true honesty and openness with regards to strategies and decisions are key to career success. I detested those...

The next large terrorist attack is gonna hurt bad - and then some. Continued high gasoline prices also pretty much hurt consumers on the bottom line too.

Nah, I built some computer consulting companies in my last years at university, then ran with them for some years, and bailed out in 1999 at the peak of valuations for consultants in my region. I did some work for energy traders, with improved models based on neural networks and genetic...

Actually, don't take your money to the markets quite yet, but do some simulations/paper trading first. Check out some of the great and free/trial products out there. I too have a computer science background with a heavy influence of mathematics, and think it's great for data analysis and...

No, it's not. The current North Korea crisis is another example, and I could show you many more. It still makes your statement "I've asked this question before -- When has appeasement ever been successful at ending conflict? Every conflict in history has required some violent resolution with a...

The US is indeed the greatest nation in the world today, it's not perfect, but it's the best there is. The problem for the continued position of the US as the greatest nation in every respect, is the fact that overly-conservative policies and the military or international bully-tactics...

Kerry needs serious money to have a chance in the election too, I guess. Just goes to show the absurdity of the election process. He will sure make the world take notice of how he is going to protect US jobs, and further aggrevate the problems. Bush sure is a conservative, and he doesn't...

Use your finer cognitive science skills as well, and contribute in a more positive form. It makes for better reading, or are you upset about trading today ? Please, do tell us. Albeit, perhaps in another thread to get on topic - there's the "Oh my God, I suck!" thread. Informative reading as...

Hehe, I knew that - just couldn't resist. Flamebaits aren't soo cool when you get charcoaled either, but they're best deepfrozen. :D Someone was complaining on the suffering quality of posts on the forums - perhaps you should read up on it ...

Nice range coming out of the "power amplifiers" in the ES04M today. Can't really complain ! ;-)

Well, I guess the majority of people interested in this thread, wouldn't really care of your type. The remarks he made were on topic. And you can continue trading without trying to understand market psychology or it's players.

That's certainly an interesting personality type you have there. Are you any different on friday nights nowadays ? Been reading up on philosophy and extensialism, have you ? How do you know what the relative small number of people posting here wants ? Do you look in the mirror and...
