O777, I know this, I compete in shooting sports ('sport pistol 25 meters'). I have been through the mental conditioning to think like a winner all my life. What I'm looking for is actual examples applied to trading. How do those traders considering psychology is important in their trading...

I know some traders consider psychology as something important and worth to be worked upon, but I have no idea of what this involves exactly. Any examples of the usefullness of psychology in trading ? What to look for exactly ? OHLC

BTW, I'm in Paris.

:D I was wondering if anyone here was from the old world. Any licensed traders working with an American professional firm and trading partly remote from Europe and partly in-office in the US ? I'm interested in any feedback about the way such people divide their time between the US and...

Actually, Benoit Mandelbrot wrote a book proving the financial markets were not fractals. I have no idea on wether or not a translation in Englsh is available... Pronunciation : Buh-no-waaah Mand-el(spanish tone)-bro. Some(but not all) characteristics of fractals can be observed on any...

Privet Vlad, I'm French but my girlfriend is from there :D OHLC

BTW, there has been a large explosion in the BASF plant in Houston. Plus one in Pristina. Plus one in Gaza... OHLC

It still works like this in Russia. Plus, the average Russian girl looks better than a Californian professional babe. OHLC

777, you speak like a true Don Bright today :eek: OHLC

I have had a similar problem recently (limit orders not filled). I found out that, for some reason, my orders ended up routed on another SE (I tracked this through the esignal quote montage). So, logically, when the stock on the NYSE was not reaching far enough for my bid on the other exchange...

By the way, another situation where adding to winners may be mandatory is small caps trading. I cant take a full position at once (at least on Euronext where the MM would screw me). Since a position moving towards my stop is more likely to be a loosing position, an increase in risk might not be...

>The whole "adding to winners" hype is purely psychological Can be true, but only if you are allowed to trade without tight risk management and exposure management. Usually, the best entries I make are the initial ones. So, I want to ponderate heavily the trade, which means I may reach my...

>What you suffer from is castration by ignorance. A very common malady. What he suffers from is endorectocephaliasis, and if 9/11 was not enough of a cure, there isn't any hope for him... OHLC

If anyone cares, my opinion. I registered on this site last May. I only knew about BT at this time (I'm based in Europe, the other US firms are nearly unknown to the trading community). I asked a couple of questions to Don by PM, and thought the deal was great (for me). Then, I looked at...

>Notice the strong corrolation between economic freedom and stanards of living.< Exactly. Although economic freedom is not only about taxes (for example some 'special interest groups' in Russia are about as detrimental as oppressive taxes). By the way, can anyone name a country with a...

>Isn't it true that most of Europe has zip tax on investment income? Depends if 54.6% qualifies as zip... In France : Pro trader : up to 54.6% Long term speculator : 26.5% Stocks saving account (should be held 6 years, long only, no leverage, no...

Currently France is the most tax-painful country worlwide. Belgium is a close second. It should be remembered that what is considered a tax in some countries is not in others, this completely biases the figures. OHLC

Actually, you want to be alert as soon as 9/10 at the end of the trading day, due to time zone differences. I have no opinion on wether or not something will happen, probably nothing will happen, but the sub cells uncovered these last 2 weeks planned attacks for the 9/11/02, and the targets...

Not the same Bob. OHLC
