Apparently it doesn't exist yet. It would reduce the number of posts, and that is something that makes this site look more or less competitive to other forums, vendors, etc... I guess. I stopped posting for over a year, and have mixed feelings about posting more now. Having about 40 people on...

There was a discussion a few months back about being able to block people from posting on a thread you started. I'm thinking of reactivating my SlaPa journal. Can I make so all the people I have on "ignore" become blocked? If so, how... Also, when I read through my thread, the apostrophes...

Thanks. My brain is kind of clearing also. That was a long weekend. I noticed on the Myers Briggs thread your results vary -- mine do also. Just goes to show great minds think alike! :)

Mark Douglas said once that “analysis is not the key to being a successful trader, objectivity is.” So one question might be: is the analysis you are getting from Brook’s method making you more objective or not? Objectivity might look like intuition or gut feeling, but I’m not sure that is...

Thank you Alpha, I really appreciate your post. I know with absolute clarity that I am not my thoughts; interesting you would mention that. I apologize for my part of the headache RN. I have a minor in psych and really liked taking psych tests. It’s been pointed out that less than 1 person...

If I remember right you said you used Douglas's books for door stops. And here I'm quoting him. You are completely practical Handle, and I agree with you... especially in that your analysis sets you free to just do what you say above. I had training as a scientist, yet somehow the analysis I...

My idea of "order flow" comes from something DB posted. A chart that looked like someone shot a shotgun at it with a dot for each entry/exit. Sooooo bars and candles are all a representation of that and a step removed from reality. So why should I think there will be a correlation of what the...

Like the simple belief that you don't know what to expect after an entry. It's 50:50. No matter what my signal says... there is no correlation to what happens and the signal by which I entered. Based on that belief I am more interested in what happens and less afraid. So I'm not bored or...

I'm attempting to put my experiences into MD's language. I'm not interested right now in the surface things, the actual entries, exits, etc. in and of themselves. I'm looking at my belief systems. I have been more aware lately that emotions and actions follow my thoughts. But my thoughts...

That is the tread... alas... here is just a small part of what I've written to myself based on it... In the 4th post zbestoch quotes: "Trade a simple trading system with well-defined entry and exit points. Make a commitment to trade this system exactly according to the rules. You need to make...

Slugar… you are referring perhaps to what I’m working on currently. I apologize for not doing it in my own thread, but Jas’s ability to say what he is thinking, feeling and doing… combined with RN’s and Handles input… is what is making things more clear to me. I see myself in what Jas says and...

“Crazy” being doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results… consider your analysis last weekend and how many times you have done similar analysis. And consider your results this week. I know it may sound strange to many readers, but there is an inverse relationship...

Thank you Handle

As to confusion and sim trading... I notice that Mondays I feel a bit confused and don't trade as well. So I've started sim trading each day of the weekend via my backtesting (Sierra charts). I go to the open of some random day and trade it exactly as I would a live day. The only concession...

Sounds like you have had a taste of trading well, and you have not forgotten it. You know you can do it. I don't know why Mark Douglas's stuff is making even more sense to me than in the past, but I'm sure grateful for his work.

Perhaps for you trading is like pealing an onion, at least it is for me... we go round and round the same thing, but layer by layer at a deeper level. Every now and then a threshold jump. Listened to the last interview Mark Douglas gave (as posted in the RIP thread). I don't know that it...

Perhaps your university has independent study. I think what Lajax did is easily the equivalent of two semesters of a typical university class. You might be able to do your own version of what Lajax did and get credit for it.

I support wrbtrader’s posts. There is an example here on elite trader of a university student learning to trade based on what his professor recommended. Go to the general "forums" page near the upper left hand corner of this page. Once you are in "forums", then do a search (on the upper right...

So true. Thank you.
