There is some truth in that. The shrinks want to prescribe the latest wonder pill on short duration and get you to come back for "assessment" to get your refill fix. And make no mistake, some of them ARE addictive. The company sponsored family therapist gives you your allotted seven visits where...

A disclaimer. If you have ever been to a mental health professional, you know that eventually you come to the realization "This greedy bastard is just letting me prattle on because he needs the money." Indeed I will let you prattle on. But not for the money. With the fond hope that you will help...

My dear Lornz, it will be my great pleasure to assist you in any way possible to me to help you become a better trader. To invert the Zen saying, "When the Master is ready, the Pupil will appear." In all honesty, I may not be able to help, and you may not be able to improve. That said, permit me...

Pas du tout. It was a charming Dureffian slip. You really are lonely. Fortunately ET is here for you. As am I.

A nice NLP touch, that, transmuting loony into lonely. No, retail traders in the main are not lonely because they have themselves to talk to. What they need is to have someone who has been there tease out of them their fantastical expectations of trading and their irrationally rational views of...

Actually, I wept at the discovery that most posters on ET are loonier than I am. So I made it my calling to minister to them. That was easy to accomplish because I am the only trading shrink in the world who actually trades. All the rest are blind men trying to teach reading.

Oh, the external ones aren't so bad. It's the ADHD, OCD, free floating hostility, paranoia, Tourette's and Asperger's that are the worst. Not to mention MPD. And now Alzheimer's is confusing the issues. But a main tenet of NLP is "What can you do with a problem like that?" so I became a trader.

Oh, yes. Lithium carbonate. Bootleg Meritol. Napa Valley champagnes. And a 1 AM reset with Everclear and blood orange juice. Very conducive to lucid trading.

Just checking to see if you were awake. And it wasn't harsh. An insult to a fencepost, perhaps.

Might as well take a cue from Shakespeare's character Polonius and talk of "reactive prediction" and "predictive reaction."

That is sooooo wrong. You always predict, never react. Do you want to be the drover or the herd?

I think what you are missing is that trading is not an academic subject. You do not read books and seek advice and use logic to interpret what you read and hear. You dig into it yourself. No one who knows anything useful will share more than generalities with you because to reveal a system is to...

"Talking his book" means that he wants you to buy what he's short and short what he's long to get out of his positions.

He's talking his book. Don't kid yourself.

Eggsackley! He would be too busy getting laid and drinking fine booze on sunny beaches with sunny bitches to write! And what successful trader will give you anything useful for fifty bucks?

My services are free (well, they might cost you some scaped ego). Who asked you to pay? Why did you come here? I think you came here seeking advice that you could safely ignore. And having written a book, I agree with you that money is not the sole reason for writing a book. Ego gratification...

I will agree that it is hard. But the boring part comes after, when you trade all day.

What does it tell you that a .pdf of the book is free? And they in fact are generalizing that all trading books are worse than useless, with the exception of Douglas. And possibly Elder's Trading for a Living. All other books will likely slow down your progress as a trader. I used to have scores...

No stepping on my toes, Al! I am the psych trading expert here! Mr. Kilroy, start a thread in the Psych forum titled "Mudgins Mentors Kilroy" and I guarantee you a free trading education worth every penny you pay for it!

Indeed I am subscribed. No announcement that the 11.4 candidate went final. And no announcement in the forum.
