Most people will consider the term stress as a negative term. When I use the term STRESS in trading that could also be what alot of traders consider a positive thing. Like EXCITEMENT, THRILL, etc. that is still a type of stress and will wear you out just the same at the end of a trading day...

Say NO to shorters shorting America and Democracy unbelievable.. Why doesn't this surprise me : :confused:

Type B personality is someone who is more calm about things in general. Tends not to get emotionally worked up as easy as a type A. Type A is more excitable, has a hard time relaxing, likes to be doing something most of the time. When i am asking if you are a type A or B personality, I mean...

I have always been curious about the relationship between personality types and the ability to trade stress free. I am a classic type A and tend to prefer short term trades. I trade futures every day and don't usually hold over night. I prefer to take many trades a day and exit quickly. I...

what I am looking for would be like a chart showing the average % increase or decrease for each week of the year based on the last 20 - 50 years. The chart would look like any other 1 year chart however it is an average of all the years selected. using actual $ price moves distorts the chart...

Where on the net can I find a chart of the Dow and s&p 500 that will show something close to this.. a weekly 1 year chart based on the average of the last 10,20 or even 50 years. I just want to see the average yearly seasonality of the major indexes. I would also like to see the same for VIX...

I just got my 2004 Almanac for the first time. So far I like it alot and think lots of the info has value. I have traded against some of the stats in the last few months and got punished. I will keep a closer eye on the Seasonal and daily stats in the future. I mostly day trade futures but...

I posted that about a year ago as a joke on a very quiet ET evening just to get some laughs. However I was serious about the idea and was playing with the "Trade Tones" program at the time. I am still interested in Sound and its possibility as another input in the entry and exit decision...
