    Emotions in trading

    I suppose that applies to NASA sending humans to the moon? It was a very simple…simplistic process right? They did it well because they got them there and back! Just trigger ignition to a bunch of rocket fuel with astronauts sitting atop with some football helmets on ..maybe smoking cigars and...

    Thanks! Could you send those graphs as an attached PDF? No matter which way I turn my ipad parts get cut off. As a pdf things could just be printed out and the entire chart should show.

    Emotions in trading

    The ideas of finding a good strategy and executing it well are certainly worthy goals however the processes to accomplish those things are well a bit more complicated. LOL But a good big picture. To reduce something down to something simple is not so easy. Point in case: why do most traders...

    Emotions in trading

    Without going into great tactical detail I think a trader can start by having perhaps a “paradigm shift” as concerns trading on any time frame. Skill development, at it’s most fundamental level involves the same thing regardless of the context that the skill will be exercised in. I have given a...

    Emotions in trading

    However, we can discern which side is winning for the moment. The bullish brains or the bearish brains. One or the other is winning. Or neither is winning. TR = neither. Bull trend = bullish brains. Bear trend = bearish brains are ruling the market. They cannot hide. What they are thinking...

    Emotions in trading

    If we cannot stop our own brain from thinking how do we expect to discern what the millions of brains are thinking about the market at any given moment? We cannot know the actual thoughts. We can’t even completely trust our own thoughts. The mind is our biggest asset but also it is capricious...

    Emotions in trading

    The brain is a power plant generating thoughts which provoke emotions. It is constantly doing this and it cannot be controlled. Even when you sleep your brain is generating. You, nor I can stop it from creating and producing thoughts. Many of these thoughts ARE true. Many ARE lies. Many are...

    BoE: Brits need to accept they are now poorer

    Globalization is a basket of rotten eggs. It stinks and is the undoing of many countries and their economies. The end results are horrific. While it may appear that there is some initial good it ends up a very destructive force.

    ROFLMAO …funny..hilarious. However, it is like saying apples are round; oranges are round; therefore an orange is an apple. Eating and trading are two different, unrelated activities. Overeating leads to no good unless you are too skinny and need to gain pounds to be healthy. Overtrading leads...

    overtrading

    I scalp 1 to 8 points in the ES and even in MES. Most are 2 to 4. I call it scalping. Others would call it something else. I do not define scalping as 1 or 2 ticks but some do. That said I generally see 20 to 40 such trades (1-8 points)per session. That said I do not believe in overtrading...

    Complacency in trading.

    President Wilson later came to regret signing the bill: "I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the...

    Complacency in trading.

    Lol Overnight whom I also call Fedex gripes about many things. Lol. Some of his gripes are legitimate to be sure. He does not like the Federal Reserve. I don’t either. "Even Woodrow Wilson would regret his actions and before his death, stated: "I am a most unhappy man--unwittingly I have...

    Complacency in trading.

    I am not so sure he meant it the way you are taking it but it is certainly much easier to have losses bigger than gains. So easy to do! LOL …MOST TRADERS DO! That is of course what blows accounts if FOT has more losses than wins.

    I will be driving a fossil fuel motorhome (diesel) 30 years from now if I am still alive and able. EV is BS. We gonna fight our wars with little electric tanks? Fighter jets that fall out of the sky when their batteries die? LOL. I remember back in the 70’s when they were hollering...
