Lets face it, anyone must have complete control over their own minds and have complete understanding of themselves before even thinking about making any money. By definition, if one is susceptible to others influence over the mind, then how do they even have a chance at mastering themselves?

Ever been to an aquarium? See all that fish behind the glassâ¦â¦..Ever think the fish tell each other âlook at all the people behind the glassâ ? That is the difference between one who is awakened and one who is not.
If you are a follower of anything, then you are in a school, just like the fish. You are the one thatâs behind the glass and donât realize it. A fish.
You're also very good at hitting where it hurts the most.Quote from lilduckling:
They wont be making any money following this âguruâ but always justify it by rationalizing that its somehow them that are at faultâ¦.. Never the guru. âoh another $800 dollars lost this week⦠I must pay more attention to so n soâ ...
The quote above is the 'guru quality' material. If you plan to start your own following - make sure our paths do not cross. I am beginning to see a great value in the advice: "If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him."Quote from lilduckling:

Anyone can âtradeâ, but to make money in this business 3 things must happen besides learning the fundamentals:
1. Understand the markets. By that I mean understand the What, Who, Why, How, When, Where of the bullshit that goes on in a daily basis.
2. Understand yourself. You will never make a dime in a consistent basis if you donât truly know yourself.
3. Awaken. A feeling that is difficult to describe, but you will know when it happens.

Quote from cd23:
I didn't read the thread so this may be redundant.
Watch from the open on 5 minute bars.
Look for the end of bar 3.
Enter when bar 4 breaks out of bar 3 with 10 contracts.
Exit when the market moves 2 ticks in your favor.
Quit for the day and deposit all profits in a savings account for 40 years.
I know this is more than you want to make a day; you just have to accept that.
In the future, would you include your name in the title to save us all looking at the thread.
