    Taking vacations and breaks from trading. How do you detach from the potential lost income?

    From a psychological perspective, whatever dough you are making is obviously not enough for you just now. So my advice would be to stick to your actual holidays regime. Whener you have reached heights where you feel more will not mean much, then, increasing your holidays will be a natural thing.

    The Trouble With Scribbles

    Most believe in only one way of trading : "system signal type of trading". When they could understand that "system signal type of trading" is just a step to learn to read a market. Now, surely, you should be booted out for good, as you are spelling it as they have no idea of. ;) Just for your...

    Can Short Term Trading Be More Profitable Than Long Term

    May I add : psychology , and God forbid "spirituality" , is absolutely not needed either. Be proud, boastful, arrogant, full of mockeries as one does not need as much "luck" as possible. Just put in as much cash as you can : and trade your way to ????

    The day to day psychology of a trader

    Never thought that looking to "idolatry" in regards to trading, is really about understanding what humiliation is all about: Just a "God Sent" way to tell the "humiliated" "sorry, you are not God" "sorry, you are worshipping the creation and not the Creator" ( God as the one who created ALL...

    The day to day psychology of a trader

    Looking to Nick Leeson, we find the same aspects as for Brazil's humiliation For the "humiliated" - nobody thought that this is how it would end ( very old respected bank finished) - nobody saw it coming ( indeed) - any expectations of winning eliminated ( indeed) - sort of...

    Al Brooks, I apologize..

    wrbtrader : If posters keep being booted out : who do you think will be left? and most importantly, I have been told of traders forums that have died as the traders moved to other places. Better we find a way to engage with posters - including troll - and work from there, as long as the...

    The day to day psychology of a trader

    Let's analyze here what we can learn in terms of trading psychology from this humiliation that Brazil went through. What characterizes TOP traders ? The ability to withstand humiliation: taking losses , losing money but at the end coming out a winner. That is what trading is all about...

    The day to day psychology of a trader

    Trading obviously is not for the easily humiliated. Anyway, the trading screen eliminates easily the easily humiliated. Ego, ego , ego. Cry me a river!!!! Imagine if the referee had asked Germany to tone it down: do not humiliate Brazil too much!!! LOL Quiet amazing what sport teaches...

    Thank you for your analogy: I actually knew about it thanks to some sports people. Now, I can only assess things as they went : Patak allowed people to decide for themselves any "flexibility", aka if the person needed more time, more lots, more whatever. EVEN with that - may be it was the...

    Can the trading screen be called the complete HUMILIATOR ? :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Anyway, till the person gets it. Now, if the trading screen is the ultimate HUMILIATOR, as it is a mirror to the trader's psychology and plays with the traders' deepest wounds, now it makes sense that some...

    The day to day psychology of a trader

    It seems to me that real humiliation is kind of "God sent". I have been checking various videos of people wanting to humiliate others, and for some reasons, it seem to never turn that way. But when the humiliation seems to be coming in a certain, God works in mysterious ways, the humiliation is...
