Anyone else have Market superstitions?

:D Cmon you guys, share your secret trading tricks with the group. Who here doesn't shave if he's (or she's) on a hot winning streak. I knew one lady trader who didn't shave while on her 32 day winning streak. She had a hair pie that would knock your Granny's socks off.

That's not superstition, that's OCD.


Quote from William Rennick:

Here are somethings I do to get the Market going my way.

For a Rally:
1) Turn TV to the Food ChanneL
2) Have laptop open, facing up like a clam shell
3) wear green socks
4)play Twisted Sister's "I Wanna Rock" ,loadly
5) blue baseball hat on facing forward at 45 degree angle
6) laying on top of bed,fully dressed

For a Selloff:
1) Turn TV to the Weather Channel
2) Laptop open but facing down like a pup-tent
3)wear socks with holes
4)play any Slim Whitmen, Marvin Hamlish,or CLay Aiken song.
5) black baseball hat on backwards
6) hiding in closet, butt naked:cool:

I just found a new superstition, Do not wear a male thong during Market hours. My wife bought me one for our 47th anniversary, besides pissing off my hemroid, the Market unexpectedly moved against me as soon as I put the thong on.

A friend of mine changes parking places based upon his performance. If he had a bad day, he parks in a different spot, If he had a good day and wore a ball cap, he wears that ball cap every day until he has a losing day. .

As for me, I believe I make my own luck. Through hard work, perseverence, and solid research.


That being said, I'd rather be lucky than good.
 
I have a visceral supersitition - that when I hold a 'loser' that begins to make me uncomfortable (the proverbial 'pain in the back'), particularly overnight, that other market participants, somehow, gain specific knowledge of that position and gun for it. Of course in that case my only option is to exit.

I've found it to be a healthy fear, or superstition to have, and I nurture it.
