    Mental Ceilings and self fulfilling prophesies

    Aha, so let me question you further on this. Let's take it as a given that a good trader needs to be technically at the very least competent. But we also agree that some of the most technically competent can not trade. So, there are 2 things at work here perhaps? 1 The application/non...

    Mental Ceilings and self fulfilling prophesies

    That does not then explain how it is that many of the very best analysts, who totally understand every nuance of price/volume/all the indicators etc. often can't actually trade for themselves, while others who may not have studied all those things can trade virutally blind on price alone? (I...

    Mental Ceilings and self fulfilling prophesies

    It strikes me that there were so many things that couldn't be done until they were, and so many things that still can't be done until they are. for example. 1 mile in 4 minutes. 100m in 10 seconds. Faster than sound. Climb the Matterhorn (Everest, K2 etc.) Win Wimbledon 5 times. Space...

    I've no idea, but the posts in german were pretty much on topic so I can't think of a reason for them to be removed. Best Natalie

    Mental Ceilings and self fulfilling prophesies

    Yes - Me too, but less stumbling onto it, rather nurturing and developing it. I've been meditating a fair bit in the last couple of months and that really helps keep the mind healthy too. :) Best Natalie

    Mental Ceilings and self fulfilling prophesies

    Hi Bruce, I wonder if it would be possible for you to share with us basically what you think happened and the reasons (which I'm sure you have long since figured out and corrected) so that we can all learn from that? Best Natalie

    Mental Ceilings ...Lessons from Jack

    I'm learning to do it better, but I'm still making some big mistakes. not least when I'm short one and long a second, with some scales going in just to really confuse the exits. Sometimes, I'm finding that I'm not entirely sure what positions I have. My notebook is proving to be invaluable for...

    Flash's Self Improvement Trading Journal

    Looks like you were flowing better with the market judging by your chart. On those trades with big stops have you thought of moving down to a lower fractal to look inside the congestion, and/or waiting for a follow through confirmation? Best Natalie

    FXCM hmmmmmmm.

    It wasn't a serious suggestion of something to do, more an illustration of what can be done when things get seriously out of synch to make a point. I am aware of the pitfalls costs involved and mechanisms. We used to buy and sell dual listed stocks all the time to take out the differential in...

    The Best Commission Rate Ever

    In any business, keeping overhead costs low while maximising revenue, and thus making the most profit on the revenue is key to success. But a business that doesn't produce enough revenue to cover the costs etc. is going to lose and eventually go bust. Cost cutting may balance the books, but...

    IB does it again

    I have no complaints about IB. TWS is pretty quick. The API on it is good. Customer service? I wouldn't know - I've only needed to speak with them once and that was fine. I often read posts where IB is being complained about, but can not re-inforce any of the negative comments made because my...

    Getting around PDT rules

    Looks like they've created a lot of rules like PDT and uptick to supposedly protect the little guy, but in the process forced the little guy to take on larger risk in order to do what they need to? It almost sounds crazy doesn't it? :) Best Natalie
