    The Concept of Trading Emotions

    I can say for me, it seems to be a preference or personality thing. I must have TRUST in my trades and that's why I trade with a high win %. This only works because I have TRUST in my ability (from a lot of experience) to notice changes in market conditions. A low win % (with good r:r) seems to...

    The Concept of Trading Emotions

    My little secret...tablespoons of olive oil and coconut oil at different times in the morning with no other food (drink filtered water first when you wake up).

Like I was saying in other post, not enough serotonin and too much dopamine is a description of OCD people...they become compulsive and can't stop doing what their doing...turning door knobs over...

    The Concept of Trading Emotions

    Maybe, as you trade you get more and more of an adrenaline rush from higher and higher dopamine levels...like gamblers do. Dopamine and serotonin levels need to stay in balance to have "self restraint" ability. Maybe you have a chemical imbalance, I don't know, but the first key is to tell...

    Silver Production and Its Use in Solar Panels

    I've always believed that silver follows gold during a CRISIS event, unless that event is high inflation...then silver outperforms. Like you said, percentage wise it should outperform since it has such a lower price compared to gold.

    What makes Successful Traders?

    No analytical skills required? What do traders DO during their "insane focus" and "24 hour obsession to the markets"? Besides pushing order buttons...aren't they analyzing? If they are following a mechanical or automated system...a lot of analysis went into those systems before hand? Totally...

    Shorting Bonds - Question

    Long TBT or short TLT would both work. Probably get more "shares" using TBT because market is so high now with TLT, therefore TBT should be much lower in price. I don't think TBT has much of a tracking error...check to make sure. FWIW I trade the 30 YR. futures daily. GOOD LUCK!
