    Are people with ADHD better or worse traders?

    I'm doing and/or have fulfilled all but 1 of those you listed. Adhd is a problem with how the brain processes certain chemicals. There is no cure for it unfortunately

    The reason why some people blow up their trading accounts.

    Didn't your man Soros make a billion dollars shorting the Pound Sterling? I don't know what the size of his account was 25 years go, but it was a big gain. A lot of people made astronomical money shorting subprime. Jesse Livermore doubled his account quite often. And the guy that was on that...

    Are people with ADHD better or worse traders?

    Nah I certainly had adhd for my whole life. When I was a kid I'd daydream while the teacher was explaining the instructions and all the kids would stand up and start moving somewhere and I'd be like "what's going on here? What am I supposed to do. I tuned out the whole time" I was always that...

    It does become quite a bit more difficult when you're forced to become a market maker

    Are people with ADHD better or worse traders?

    JackRab, yes that is exactly the question. I have just started Adderall 7.5mg literally a couple of days ago. It is very positive for me in my daily life. I am more empathetic to people, I engage in the conversations and find it more fun. I voluntarily and un-begrudgingly do housework chores. I...

    Are people with ADHD better or worse traders?

    Believe me I know it's overblown and way over diagnosed, but I'm one of the few who legitimately has it. I've done countless number of hours of research on this, and for people who don't have it, it seems like a made up disorder. Before I knew I had it, I thought it was all bullshit too. I do...

    Not sure I'm going to spend over an hour watching that.. I'm not sure what that video has to do with my topic either.

    Are people with ADHD better or worse traders?

    Really? can you elaborate as to why? I just started taking medication for ADHD. Haven't traded on it yet, but it makes living my day to day life so much better, and has kinda transformed my personality for the better. And also, can I ask.. what medication did you take? What kind of ADHD do you...

    The reason why some people blow up their trading accounts.

    Umm yea, I think I would agree with you there. Did you watch the video all the way, or watch the same video that I posted?

    Are people with ADHD better or worse traders?

    So I was just recently diagnosed with adult ADHD. I did 2 psychological tests administered by my psychologist, and both were off the charts with ADHD. My wife also did the same one about what she observes in me, and got the exact same score as my own self reporting test. Some people make their...

    Do narcissists make good traders?

    This is a very interesting thread. I recently got tested with my psychologist, the MCMI-IV Multiaxial Personality Inventory test. This test, tests many many different disorders, such as people who are depressed, anxious, schizoid, narcissists, sadists, turbulent personality, melancholic, and...

    The reason why some people blow up their trading accounts.

    This is just trading 101, but it is something that I constantly battle, and I figured a lot of other people may battle the same thing. I am of course exaggerating, but doing it just to illustrate the point.

    Be humble and fear your own trades

    Because you'll never be 100% accurate and your pride can cloud your judgment. Fear that

    How do you avoid choppy markets?

    The occasional intraday trade if the stock moves 7 or 8% in a couple of hours, but usually a few days.

    How do you avoid choppy markets?

    Whipsaws suck of course. I've noticed that I'm getting a bit better at avoiding them. It helps a lot to avoid trades when moving averages are converging and sandwiching the candle sticks, and even when that doesn't happen, I've noticed that generally my winning trades are always in a decent...

    I do speak intermediate Japanese, but I am totally clueless on the terminology used in trading. I can give it a shot if you wanna send me some links because I have heard about him and am quite curious about it.
