I think I am a sadist - I like it when it hurts. :D

I agree... I am trying to purposely do more smiling during my trading. My wife just think I am going nut.

I agree that they have the same challenge in dealing the emotions and illusions put out by our ego but here is the difference: If you are Enlightened, I am not talking whether having seen the nature of your own mind but I am talking about the real deal - realizing the nature... I am talking...

I have a sheet for this stuff (discretionary reason for the trade and P/L) but never really plot a graph or something like that. Sounds like something to do... but I think they are more important in pinpointing problems early on. Thanks for the ideas.

sounds like o'neil stuff. I guess it won't work for all market since the S&P has strong tendency to revert back to mean.

Maybe she can use the hypnosis (distort her perception). Good thing my wife has never complained about my small size... wait a minute... maybe she did. See how the ego playing trick on me and my memory even outside the market. "POKER RULE#13 Occupy yourself while you are not playing...

BTW, I did look into hypnosis for penis enlargement but it was going to cost me... So I am too cheap to have a large penis. :D

Hi guys, I am back from my hypnotic trance. I am involved in a big way now... only because there are so much crap out there just like trading. I still have not done enough to tell if it helps my trading but it looks promising. But like I said before, it is different from meditation in terms...

I am going to take a break and work on my self-hypnosis. I got the feeling the poker's rules are good but any improvement requires a sustained awareness and effort... maybe a little programming can ease the process. Thanks Everest, for getting me to see what's in the box. I can tell you...

In what way did the "Zen and the Market" book help you? Thanks. Did anybody notice any change in their trading since our discussions? Have you actively try the principles from the book. I am trying to apply some of the stuff I was babbling about to my own trading. I did notice some...

"POKER RULE #11: Don't defend patience too strongly... You can't make yourself go to sleep through sheer strength of will. It is not about the strength of commitment - it is more of a gentler thing - a letting go." We have to be aware and allow space for our ego's demands. Let the ransom...

Thanks. What happened after two months?

"POKER RULE #10: The long run is longer than you think... Playing only the best hands can be frustrating... Anger and irritability can arise. The emotions can be severely tested. This is where Zen comes in" As Marty Schwartz said "When I was able to separate my ego NEEDS from making...

You are welcomed to post anything. Even better if any of you can help me out to post the poker rules from the book and your thought and experience. You don't have to wait for me to post. The real purpose for the thread is to force our brains (mine turned into cheeze years ago) to think a...

"POKER RULE #9: Don't fall into the "Now Trap."... Players want to win now, today. Results must happen now, in this hand, the one right in front of us... We assign a little more importance to where we are. We make it bigger, more important... But we do this timewise , too - we assign things...

Thank you for sharing. That is more like Kundalini Yoga System... correct? How long have you practice it? Also in Buddhism, there are the path of liberation and the path of skillful means. In the path of skillful means, a practitioner does use the body more such as in the tummo (inner heat)...

"POKER RULE #8 Keep plugging away. Expect nothing... There will be times when you play tight, keep playing tight, and keep on playing tight, and it still does no good... the bad cards just keep coming... You may have to just keep doing it until the end, with no reward at all." When there...

Thank you for your help. Do you mean you made the auto-suggestion before the trance? Or do you tape the script? I am getting some materials on self-hypnosis. It is funny during my search, most of the stuff I run into are about how to screw with other people's head and penis enlargement...

I think he meant analyzing the profit distribution of your own trading... where a small amount of winners are responsible for the most profit? :confused: May darkhorse elaborate please! What do other people think the core 20% of trading is comprised of?

I do believe in the 80/20 rule and even more so I believe in addressing the problems in the most direct way but in your opinions what does the core 20% comprise of in trading? Thanks.
