Cool Banjo, I will check it out. Thanks. regards, Bruce

Well Dman, I am glad to see that you are a man of honor, since I don't consider light beer, beer I don't think there are any inconsistencies in your discipline , well done. Keep up the good work. regards, Bruce

I like what you said vanilla2, yes live to the standards of who you want to be. Excellent, I think you nailed it. regards, Bruce

I did enjoy his book, "Trading in the Zone" I think it should be required reading for all traders. I haven't read the "Disciplined Trader" do you consider it a must read also? I also was part of an online seminar he had in March 2001 that was really helpful. As far as I am concerned...

Peter, thats part of my question, not if you have to have your life together but if changing something in your personal life for the better would have a positive impact on your trading. "There are also plenty of crappy, undisciplined, but athletic, traders." Either I am...

I started to read your post and I thought did the main part of my message get misconstrued. But I see you covered it in your follow up post. Thanks for the info, my main form of exercise will be racquetball. I haven't played for about a year, the first couple of weeks will be painful. I...

Do you think it is true, what you believe is what you get out of the market/life? Does the way we view life filter down to what we are able to create for ourselves in the market? If so, what could you do on a daily basis to modify or alter your perception of "your" world. It seems to me...

When I first came to this board, it seems the majority of posts were posters attacking posters. It seems now that either I have either filtered out the negativity or that the level of consciousness of this board has risen, probably a little of both. Thank you to all who post for the...

Judging from your posts, IMO you are focusing on the wrong area. You need to really examine why you allowed yourself to blow out. What was going on in your mind when you were down a $500.00 and you didn't stop yourself. Whatever it was it will need to be rectified or you will repeat this...

Well said Bundlemaker. If we don't accept full responsibility for what we have created in our lives, then how can we change? There came a point in our lives when, even though outside influences (parents, friends, teachers, media, etc...) projected their beliefs upon us, we could make a...

Well, you are at a fork in the road, which way to go? You can (after your mind has calmed down a bit) objectively examine why you did what you did. Saying I screwed up isn't deep enough. Get a pad of paper out, sincerely ask your self the question "why I did what I did" and then proceed...

I was following you for awhile Jack, then of course your sanity/insanity or my insanity/sanity kept me from being able to absorb more. Regarding riding different fractals on the same instrument I find very interesting. I assume there are fractals that are held overnight with positions being...

What about this, what if Bubba isn’t really Bubba and the aliens took Bubba’s brain from him …….. Wait a minute, wait a minute, I think I have it figured. The aliens took Bubba’s brain and switched it with Jack, then the Scientist with his scientific powers immediately realized...

Have you ever noticed that about the time that Jack Hershey stopped posting some guy named Bubba from nowhere starts up. I don’t know about you, but I don’t know any Bubba’s that are smart as our ET Bubba. I think Jack Hershey was kidnapped by aliens and they removed his brain and...

I was watching a show awhile back on limitations and they had some examples about this in the animal world. Wild elephants when first caught are secured to a post with a heavy chain, after a short period of time the elephants realize (believe) they cannot break the chain. When those same...

I have to agree with Natalie, we human beings are conditioned from an early age to experience life on the low end of our true potential. Think about how may times we have been told "no you can't do that" "thats not available" "we don't have the money for that" etc... we have created a...

Speaking from experience, I just had four days of only trading with the trend. Made money everytime. The increase to my account averaged about $100.00 per day, no big deal. The increase in my trading confidence huge. I was always trying to catch the top/bottom and was missing it. I was...

You should be able to get the upgrade version of XP. It will ask for a prior version of Windows. When I went from Win 98 to W2K, I did a clean install of W2K and in the beginning of the process it asked for a prior version of Windows I just slipped in the Win 98 disk for it to verify that I...

"I can't remember what trader it was who said that if you want enlightenment, you can go to India and sit in a cave for three years, or you can trade the S&P futures." Well said. Mark Douglas mentions something about a sincere attempt at trading as being the quickest way to bring to...

I suggest that you have both up, you can layer the charts. When their is a gap then the Globex chart should be more in sync. But regardless of that I look at both charts and get a feel for which charts fits the definition of my edge better. You could do this by waiting for a setup of...
