Just curious how is the CR school system for kids? Are there private schools where medium of instruction is English. A few doors down from us in nyc is a young couple, they fly down to CR for surfing every six months. They fly to San Jose, rent a jeep or suv then make their way to the...

It appears everything she markets costs quite a bit of money. I remember buying her book 'street smart' I paid close to $150 and that was at a discount, the retail is $175. I remember the price well, because I got yelled at by my wife, who looking at our cc statement said wtf you paid $150 for a...

Restless living in the NE US. There was a time (before children) I dragged my wife for about a month to Key West Florida, thinking we could move there and I could tele-commute from there. Florida sucks! CR sounds great. I actually have a book sitting on my shelf 'Living Abroad in Costa Rica'...

Kensho I believe applies more to traders. Satori is a very different path, to give up alcohol, meat, and what is it that the dalai lama said, to meditate for at least 2 hours a day is not for me...satori for me is being a successful trader...

Sorry, I should have clarified this, I received a few PMs. Nigam Arora is a ET member, if you like please PM him directly to get his meditation technique directed at trading. He is quite generous in sharing it. As a discretionary trader I like getting to the neutral Zero state, so trade...

After I saw your earlier post, I spent about an hour reading up on Tom Williams+ vsa + tradeguider. Tom Williams book 'master the markets' is a gem. Will go back and read it in its entirety. vsa and tradeguider I will pass for now.

Would you care to elaborate on your technique to develop intuition? One of the more interesting side effects of meditation, of quieting the inner chatter, is this rise in intuition, insight into things. I find that delibrate inquiry also goes a long way while meditating. Nigam Arora's...

Huge ego, he is suppose to be extermely arrogant. but that is his personal issue. I am also not knocking wikileaks. Transparency is the new model, governments better get used to it.

If you ask me, this pending Bank documents release is the real reason US is going so hard after Assange. They are worried about a ripple effect on the US financial markets. The release of the inflammatory documents could finally force the regulators/congress hand to start investigations...

Apparently Assange has some sensitive information about a bank, rumored to be a US bank. http://www.newser.com/story/106430/assange-bank-megaleak-is-next.html

Speaking of Siddharta, Netflix has a DVD adaptation of the Herman Hesse classic + a few other versions. great stuff.

I was having a similar issue, what helped me was a ET member Vienna's suggestion to use the pomodora time management technique. So I break my trading day down in 20 min segments and force myself to get up and stretch, get a drink of water after each segment. it did wonders for me, sustained...

Good point, I am making a transition from mechanical trading to discretionay trading. high probability setup - I have thought about this, why I have difficulty with this. I believe my previous trading style of 100% mechanical trading is the culprit. Where in systemetic trading one takes every...

Yes, same here, I am new to MD as well. Looking forward to your findings. Thanks. Just to share my take of it, So far what I find of value is using MD as a confirmation tool, and helps with exits. I find the volume breakdown indicator very interesting. I look a lot at divergence between...

Regarding taxes, if you are a US Citizen, regardless of which country you trade from, don't you still have to file and pay US income taxes?

proflogic, I am curious what is your take on market delta's footprint charts? So one can still chart using volume bars, but with the added information about the bid-ask pressure.

I don't know how to say this, but are there analysis techniques that are based on pure price action analysis? Two that come to mind are: 1) Michael Harris - trading patterns. http://www.priceactionlab.com/ This essentially mines data looking for price patterns, so if c[0] > c[2] and...

Great posts in this thread. Thank you all for your contribution. There are many paths up the mountain; hindu, buddhist, sufi, zen paths may seem contradictory but they tap in the same source. nigam arora: If you think appropiate, could you please elaborate on your meditation technique...

Sadly my mother has dimensia/alzheimers, in the evening around 6PM she is not able to remember what she had for lunch. However her longterm memory is intact, she remembers many details from her childhood years the 1940's. I have looked into this quite a bit, it appears to be genetically...

Well, to share a personal story. I was first exposed to meditation in the mid 1980's. Zen and generic buddhist forms. Interestingly, I ran into great difficulty. I would reap tremendous benefit the first day, however if I continued, the following day I would have somewhat of a intense alergic...
