    I need some guidance on a career in trading...

    I enjoyed reading your post. Lots of candor. I followed a path quite different than yours or the OP. I was read, page by page, the WSJ in the office of the depatrment head where I was a graduate instructor during grad school. I was 24, probably. It took an hour and the topic was...

    NLP Nonsense

    i'll do another fork later. It will be equally entertaining I hope. I'll footnote better too when I turn up the heat. I'll keep them at the bottom of the pages so the entertainment isn't stifled.

    BE DO HAVE and Jack Hershey vs Objective Reality

    this week was a little active compared to most. going through 100% margin in the AM and pullindg as musch in the PM is a demanding thing. When you go to "sufficiency" (this is when you have support, and comfort bagged) when the confidence is getting past the knee of the curve, the...

    NLP Nonsense

    The fork in the road shows that you can go tony robinson and be "getting" what the OP says is nonsense. On the other road it looks like big traders are in a state that is definable and it is NOT what NLP, Ari, et al says a person gets to when you are the best under the CW modus. Left...

    NLP Nonsense

    Anyway, this emotion stuff is firing before choice. And there are issues about how to learn to really trade well and do the learning curve as fast as possible. The OP started the thread and in his second post (before editing) he laid a bomb (his opinion on something he doesn't do) out...
