A drink to take the edge off...

Rearden... I don't know the guy but I respect him. His posts are sharp and he's reputed to be one of the biggest, most successful traders on elite.

I remember him saying a while back that he didn't really feel he was functioning optimally unless he was on some kind of substance. I think it was some mild pain medication (can't remember the name, seemed something like vic) . maybe you want to ask his opinion/theory
 
Heard of many concreters etc, who at morning smoko, and lunch, (and maybe afternoon tea) had a few relaxing shots of grappa.
Worked like fury all day long, singing songs etc, everyday. Guys who put in hard physical hours, seemed to help get through the day.
Certainly explains why hip flasks were invested, but working that hard it would actually burn off quite quickly, different kettle of fish.
 
this is the stupidest thread i've seen yet on ET. If you are truly so confident in your trade, you will be able to put more leverage on without stress. You know its stupid, so why do it? And if just afraid of big size, gradually build up - you'll figure it out.

So your 'nervousness' to take a setup is your brain doing its job and protecting you.

By all means, with all of the drinking and potsmoking it sounds like fellow traders out there are doing, it looks like I have more hope to make a killing this year.

Agree 100% lol !! Why don't we just start a thread entitled "Should I take my morning dump before, or after NY open ?"

"..... I love the cocaine.. I love the cocaine...."

Oh yeah!
You wanna find it
Come on, yeah
I’m on a plane with cocaine
And yes I’m all lit up again
Cough up love and touch up
Your mama says packin’ lines is sin

Chorus
And yes I’m all litup again
On the couch, in my bed
And yes I’m all lit up again,flyin’
I love the cocaine, I love the cocaine
Mama can you wait,mama can you wait

I’m on a train and ride on
You know the train is stayin’ off the track
I’m in touch love, from this crutch
Well you’re on ten but buddy I’m on eleven

And yes I’m all lit up again
On the couch, in my bed
And yes I’m all lit up again, flyin’
I love the cocaine, I love the cocaine
Mama can you wait, mama can you wait
I love the cocaine, I love the cocaine
Mama can you wait
Oh can you wait long?
