Drinking vodka and trading

Quote from CrazyBoy:

Do you find that drinking vodka whilst trading tends to provide you with a bias towards a bullish market outlook or a bearish outlook.

I'd be very interested to read further analysis/input by other traders who drink vodka during working hours and how you feel about this subject.

Obviously too much isn't helpful... Personally, I find that drinking 1/4 to a 1/2 a 70 cl bottle during the pre-market session creates a very bullish mentality/sentiment.

This is a serious question.

A man goes to a barbershop and asks, "How many ahead of me?"

"Five."

The man leaves. He comes back the next day and asks, "How many ahead of me?"

"Four."

The man leaves. He comes back the next day and asks, "How many ahead of me?"

"Six."

The man leaves, and the barber says to another, "Follow that man!" The man comes back and says, "He goes to your house!"

One night two drunks were wandering the town trying to get drinks, but between the two of them, they only had a dollar and change.

So the first drunk said, “Hey, I’ve got an idea - we put our money together and buy a hot dog.”

The second drunk, looking at him puzzled, said, “What the hell? I don’t want a hot dog; I want a goddamn drink!”

The first said, “I know. We buy the hot dog, stick it down the front of my pants, go into a bar and order our drinks. When the bartender tells us the price, you drop to your knees and suck the hot dog like you’re sucking my dick - and the bartender will throw us out and we won’t have to pay for anything!”

The second drunk said, “Well, it sounds like a good enough idea to me.”

So they buy the hot dog and the first drunk sticks it down his pants. They go into a bar, order two whiskeys, and when the bartender tells them the price, the second drunk drops to his knees and sucks on the hot dog. The bartender throws them out and tells them not to come back.

The drunks go on to hit a dozen bars. Finally, the second drunk says, “We’ve got to switch places ’cause my knees hurt from dropping to the floor.”

The first drunk says, “You think that’s bad? I lost the hot dog in the third bar!”
 
Alcohol removes pain and fear so I can understand why someone who has issues pulling the trigger or holding a trade would drink. On the other side, the danger is the careless, complacent attitude that goes with it. I have traded under that influence a couple times and I noticed I was enclined to overtrade and take bigger risks. Overall, a lack of discipline.

IMO, smoking pot is a MUCH better option for trading.

if you going to do something then yes, smoke weed!

weed will make you mellow and more in tune with the markets

I agree :) also better for you!
 
op i think i get what your saying.

you sound like you have a bullish bias and need something that will allow you to not fear putting on risk while at the same time not make you over confident.

theres nothing wrong with experimenting, try vodka, weed or adderal. All of these things in some way effect your serotonin levels which controls your happiness.

If you're going to trade under these substances just make sure to

1) limit your risk to the same as when you trade sober

2) don't over trade, infact trade slightly less then you would sober

over trading stems from over confidence which these substances can easily do to you. If you violate any of these rules I would stop trading with that substance.
