What does his sex life got to do with this? :eek:

Quote from timbo:

Yeah. This is about drinking and trading -- not sex.

Blow = cocaine.

A drink before trading is good.

But to really take the edge off and put you in the zone, you need to take a hit or three of some good maryjane.

Let me know how it works out.

No, a better idea would be to start one pointless thread on ET each morning in an inappropriate forum and wait to see how long it takes before it gets moved to chit-chat.

OK, so do it.

It might improve your trading.

Quote from Cocaine:

I am considering taking one shot of alcohol (and one shot only) at 9am to get ready for the opening hour. I find that one drink and I am at my optimal but have never actually tried this for the purposes of trading. I think it may help me take the edge off and focus. Anymore than one shot and I think it will be counterproductive.

Thoughts/comments?

PS Just for reference I am a profitable trader (0ver 100K+ per year in equities). I just want more courage!

This is a good idea, but why only one shot?, its best not to let the effects wear off, probably one shot every hour, throughout the trading day will give you that extra edge and courage you need!

You make over 100K and you want more courage? Sounds to me like you need more gratitude and humility. Take that one drink for courage and I guarantee you'll find humility down the road, and you'll find it in spades.
