Quote from F112358:
Notes to self:
1- Everyone of the people that shorted 81.84, managed to beat themselves up over a magnificent short opportunity. Including yours truly who managed to pull a near breakeven trade on a vertical down move by the market.
2-Ponders on the wisdom of posting real time trades and wonders if the motivation is to learn new, better techniques, and help others or if the motivation is purely egocentric.
3-Once again market shows who is boss and moves in its own time instead of any timeframe in the mind of participants, including yours truly.
4-Ponders on the wisdom of helping to attract traffic to a third party website instead of doing it somewhere else for a charity or something. Notices a handful of very giving individuals in the midst of a sea of takers and chest-puffers and down-outers like the oracle of wizards that particularly gets on my trader-self nerves.
5-Continues to note my own propensity to addictive behaviours like trading and posting, and concludes that all is ego based and self-destructive.
6-Takes the day off to ponder some more on the near $1 down move overnight in CL that he almost managed to lose money on. Do I really want to trade this thing?.
