    psychological disorders in trading

    First things first. For anyone interested in learning something of value. Just go back and read some of my posts. Often they begin with a sentence that reads something like this "I suggest you take a moment to THINK before you type....." The reason I often start my comments with this...

    I am guessing that it is indifference. Even your alias's may not give a shit at this point. Congratulations. Steve

    Rush LOVES the drugs

    Rush indicates that the prescription Viagra he was "caught with" was in his physician's name so as to protect his privacy. Thats all I know about it. Seems to me that if he is telling the truth, it will be pretty easy to figure it out. If not, I think he ought to be treated just like any...

    Disheartened.

    I was going to suggest you get out. Mark beat me to it :D Get the hell out and do what you are naturally good at. People who fight the tide eventually get tired and drown. Get back to doing what makes you money and if you still need to scalp. Do it from your own home office...

    The Surf Report

    Sure Mike: I see what you are saying. Your in the game everyday. What I tend to like to do is to see the larger picture and then adjust to the daily action as price tests specific price points. As I have said before you have to have a context that offers some psychological stability and a...

    The Surf Report

    You can hold as long as you want honey, but at some point the money runs out. Thats not trading. Thats hoping you are going to be right, when you have no clue If thats where you stand, why the hell does anyone need to hear the Surf Report? I can flip a coin and get a similar result...

    The Surf Report

    Totally wrong? Did the market close up or down? I don't think so, and the fairy princess act is getting a little old If you want folks to take you seriously, your going to produce a positive result at some point. (I am sure you have heard this many times in your life). Steve

    The Surf Report

    Pardon me Mike: I have to operate in the real world. I trade these markets on an intraday basis. When you are "early" and you don't actually trade, you can be said to be "right". When you actually risk money on a position and you are "early" I think you have to deal with reality. Either...

    looking for Loza

    Another misunderstood guy. Before my time to be sure but I think he just needed people to treat him like one of the guys. For example; Door bell rings "Hey Adolf, whats shaking bud? Yeah okay, Heil Hitler, world domination and all that crap. Get in here you freak. Whats with the boots...

    looking for Loza

    Don't get me started on Son of Sam. That dude was a riot Real excellent sense of humor. I loved the part where he would look at his dog and ask "What do you want me to do now Master"? A real laff riot. I realize he killed a few folks, couple of hookers and such, but really other than...

    looking for Loza

    Yes I certainly agree. Who here hasn't been captivated by Martha Stewart and her pleasant demeanor? We need more folks like her on the planet. Speaking of pleasant personalities, I miss Hannibal Lechter. I mean really that guy had a real intellect and except for his taste in clothes, I have...

    JACK SCHWAGER SPEAKS--video

    I would say that Jack is a better fund manager than trader. I do like his "Wizards" books. Steve

    looking for Loza

    One more thing. Saddam's sons were killed a while back, and I think thats a shame. I realize they were into some torturing and persecution of the population, and sure they may have been psychotic murderers, but hey, I am sure they were greatly misunderstood. I hear for instance that...

    looking for Loza

    I hear that guy Zarqawi was a neat guy too. Really a shame that we accidentally rocket bombed the building that he was in recently. I understand that he was a good poker player and liked italian food. You know it is just too bad that we couldn't overlook a few beheadings and bomb...

    looking for Loza

    I understand Jeffrey Daumer was a witty conversationalist too. What kind of folks are we, that we can't look past a few murders and a few instances of cannibalism? I think we need to be more tolerant as a society... I really miss him (sigh) :)

    Anti-Jack Trading

    Just for grins Over a hundred posts to this thread at least 70+ are Hyp0 At least 25 are aliases (by my estimate) then we have a handful of folks some of whom actually participate and the balance are the "functional illiterates" that make up a significant part of the population...

    Trouble interpreting price and volume

    As regards the chart posted by the thread originator, well you had 3 signals that you ignored. 1. You had a breakout of the range on significant volume. The form of the breakout was a wide range bar compared to the previous bars. That was #1 2. You had a significant ramp up of volume...

    Trouble interpreting price and volume

    This is really typical. The guy (Marketsurfer) has nothing to say, but has a pressing need to practice typing. Program buys (and sells for that matter) require counterparties and so "volume" occurs when they transact. Understanding volume spread analysis is really the key and you can get...

    Are instutional *on average* or retail traders better?

    Yes, that why the words "find a system that complements your primary" are there :)

    Are instutional *on average* or retail traders better?

    Sorry boys, that answer is a non-starter. Close though You add another strategy to capture the failure trades from the first strat. Trading a specific strategy, then adding another is a form of diversification. Properly executed the additional strategy lowers drawdown and increases...
