:D thanks rs!! looking forward to reading it...

for all the info... I have no doubt a chair can make a difference in trading... at least it does for me. Have had different chairs over the years such that I'm now superstitious. Don't like to change when on a roll (have two of the same kind now, swivel... decent ergonomic types.. reasonably...

you gonna start the journal up again.... ? Not sure about ET journals... can anyone post a trade, or just commentary on the originators' trades? Have a good week bro... I:cool:

well Zbear... since it's all good now... I say we all make some money this week...! :D Gonna keep an eye on Jack's ideas... which I appreciate his efforts in presenting. But was never one to go exactly by any book anyway; always gonna use some discretion and finesse in most of my...

great! :eek:

:D

Zbear... !? Hey bro, what's YOUR claim to fame? Have you offered anything on ET of any value? Is so please point it out to the rest of us. We're waiting! :eek:

hi... snow melt yet (we hope)? The point of this thread/poll as I understood it, was whether noise via flickering screens/data/quotes every nanosecond... can or will adversely impact one's trading via stress; and the answer is yes... i m m h o. SO I respectfully dissent as to any comment...

How ya doing guy... good post. I agree exactly with what you said in paragraph 1..... X is often the difference between a win and also ran. I :cool:

from the scoffing about this poll. It may not be the "mother" of all polls, but the brother definitely has a valid question. Last year I posted about a gifted trader friend (who became a great mentor). When she went off the floor to screen trading, she found following the noise (via every...

"for investing you need to use a reweighted Myers Briggs test to get a cut off value for who is worth training for investing to make real money" Huh???! :confused:

Madgenius.... point well taken. Glad to see you have similar "motives". I do love the options 'game'! Not only do they add dimension... and unique (and fun) challenge... but as I was telling a brother ET this week... reward trading ingenuity and creativity even more than equities or...

Thanks.... :D

Any moral/ethical conflict (guilt) can be resolved by donating any and all (or some) of your presumed "ill-gotten" profits to good charities and causes... and by doing good things for the World. To paraphrase Bud Fox: You gotta make it to the big time first... then you can become a pillar and do...

You know... the more people that know about this ... particularly traders.. the less it wil continue to "work" in the future. SO if you want to take an ad out in the WSJ, go ahead. But when it stops working... you'll know that too many people tried to play the same game. Of course.. there...

Before you can get "esoteric" you need to master the fundamentals... the tools and rules, so to speak. Check it out. Do you (we) have it down 'cold' such that noise and emotions will not unduly influence decisions? After this you can evolve through experience, practice and self-awareness...

IMHO... one major reason a trader does not pull the trigger for entries (and this was true for me in the past) is mostly due to his or her lack of trust in themselves to be able to react distinctly in order to do what is necessary and prudent to manage a trade or position(s) with respect to...

First problem is... you claim to "have no idea WHY"! How is that possible after thousands of hours? IMHO after years in the markets, it is ...not... possible. Not with a serious and honest introspection. Not ruminating... but plain, simple candor and self-awareness. However, IF it is truly...

I think Baron should take your post and make it part of a code of conduct for ET.... I definitely agree. It's like saying a great pitching coach has to be a Cy Young winner before he can give valuable and helpful advice! daniel_m, where did you get your chip, bro??!! Ice

Good stuff... Love to trade gaps so much... I could probably get a scholarship to dental school. :D ice:cool:
