Very well written f9, and although there are many truths in what you say, you are shortchanging yourself, the same mistake that the majority of traders make. An EDGE does exist for those that will allow it to do so ! I will now give you a very simple example of what an EDGE is, but, again...

Well Henry, I do respect your thoughts, but when you are at this game for a long time, you degin to see what is really going on, and my opinion is that, individual brilliance may work in the short term, but without grasping the fundamental fact about how our societies operate and function in...

Aha, nice to see we have some real brains in the psychology section. I can relate to what you speak of, as I have personally sat for hours just watching the ticker tape scroll across the bottom of the TV screen, and yes Mark, you are 100% correct, this can be a very good leading indicator as to...

Apologies for delayed posting, but when the markets are moving, you won't see much of me, as I trade multiple markets to spread my risk. As requested: M.I.N.D First word begins with M > 9 Letters ! _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ If this is not answered correctly within one week, then I will...

Sounds very interesting Mark. Tape reading without a computer. Does that mean no TOS screen? I did not know that there is another way to read the tape ? Are you saying that the glass jar is still in use ? Now you have me thinking !

Nice to see some honesty and straight forward facts edgehunter. Pump & Dump >> Dump & Pump Sounds like a Laural & Hardy show does it not. 1491 was a big dump level and very happy to have copped it. Do you think we will get any more pupils for Row 1 ?

Patience edgehunter ! We need to fill a few more seats in Row 1. Remember, the objective is to solve the acronym. The M.I.N.D Game. What does M.I.N.D stand for ? If you can solve this one, then you are streets ahead of any trader I know, and I know a few very good ones.

Very impressive edge hunter, and you will be happy to know that you are first to be seated in Row 1. Whilst I will not argue with you, as I have no reason to, and I might well learn from the pupil in this case, as teaching can be a two way thing, all I will say, is that I do not use volume at...

I will continue regardless, as pupils should never be allowed to control the class ! As of now, the ES is at 1472. It has come off its low of 1462.50, and traded in a range spanning from 1470 to 1465, and now has broken up to hit a recent high of 1472.50. The ES is now at 1471.25...

I see that we already have 2 pupils for row number three. I wonder which row we will fill first ? Seems like a no brainer really !

Exactly Henry, It is logical to deduce that those who know, will not easily share their knowledge with those that dont know, after all, why should they ? However, there are many succesful traders, that we all know, as to the extent of their success, well, I would imagine that only those...

To kick off the thread, I will list some main discussion points in relation to the psychology of trading. 1. The market is going Up 2. The market is going Down. 3. The market is Neutral. 4. I was right. 5. I was wrong. 6. I made money. 7. I lost money. 8. I am a newbie trader. 9. I am...

Thank you, but I think I have chosen a better name for the new thread .

I have decided to start this thread to help those that are interested in helping themselves develop the most important aspect of their trading. As I will be the teacher, so as to speak, I have decided to divide the classrom into three rows. Row 1 for those that are interested. Row 2 for...

Oh, I see, thank you ! Well, I can assure them that I am well established and when I post I try and keep it so that interested people can learn from my experiences, as sharing for the joy of sharing can be very beneficial to ones bottom line. I am considering starting a new thread, do you...

Can you please seperate them on your website, with your entry price, initial stop price, and exit price, or prices if scaling out of multiple contracts. If you do this, I will be happy to work out the Expectancy figure for your various strategies. This will be of great benefit to your visitors.

Err, what does the last post date have to do with anything ? Surely what matters most, is what is written, not when it was wrote!

I am not sure if you are addressing my last post, but if you are, the answer is yes, and not only do I think it will be so, I actually can say, with a very high degree of probability, that the majority of successful traders, will fully agree with me. Those that are not successful, will...

Well Henry, it might have something to do with the perception that the majority of people have about trading, let it be investing for the longer term, or scalping for quich profits. Human nature is such, that we somehow think we must be right, no matter how hard we try to convince ourselves...

Forgive me, as I can see by the writing under your ID that you are an ET sponser, but the hyperlinks at the bottom of all of your posts, well, might be putting a lot of viewers off even looking at your site ! This is a Psychology thread, and the advertising might be a little out of place...
