Going through personal crisis & trading

Stay away from any type of drugs!
Get out in nature, get a healthy diet, physical training and relaxation - time for detox and reflection.



Remember, a good "socioeconomic life" pays dividends... budget your personal life, find where you have systemic deficiencies.

Also a great time to give to others and you will see how small your problems are.

This is SO true...

I had a personal experience (depression) and a neighbour was in some difficulty. I don't know why, because at the time I didn't give a rat's arse about anything/anybody, but I started to help him and continued to help him over the ensuing days and I started to ask myself "Why are you doing this?"...there was no answer.

A couple days later, I could not believe it, but I actually came out of my depression. It was a life changing experience that words cannot describe.

If it can happen to me...it sure as hell can happen to you, but sooner.
 
I have and it really affected my trading. I when through a tough time just when I was turning the corner trading equities. I couldn't get it together and it reflected my performance in the markets... I went on full tilt. I wasted a lot of time and a lot of $$$. I'm back at it now, but I definately recommend you step away. Your emotions need to be in check when playing the game.

Quote from polpolik:

Has anyone here gone through a major crisis and yet continued to trade through it? How was your performance?

I've been going through one myself in the past 2 weeks and I don't see any end in sight and it's really affected my trading. I'm in full defensive mode now when I trade. I'm thinking about taking a week or two off but my problems won't be going away anyways so I don't see the point.

I not trade until this problem is resolved because I don't know if it'll be resolved.

you would happen to be going through a lawsuit would you?

Hey, Sky. No. I'd rather not talk about the actual problem but it has nothing to do with lawyers for sure.

Great collection of youtube favourites. Just wasted an hour and a half. Did have to go find the conclusion to the exciting ghost rider though.

I've been training for licence to drive heavy motorcycle now... and it's going to be the new Hayabusa version, of course...
Annoying that it's 3x the price of the US for buying it here in Brazil. Just need to get my will in order before I start driving it.
:p

I just love getaway videos, sportscars, exciting driving etc. Got to feel like you are living a little too, right?
Doing windsurfing all year round here in Brazil is cool too... and the women are not half bad - they are being as bad as they can.


One for the road ... keep smiling! ... and stay of any drugs, you hear! ... no getting highs, stay off the pills.

Quote from polpolik:

thanks guys. The crisis I'm talking about is not a string of losses, I've been doing quite well in the market all year until about 2 weeks ago when things start to unravel. My account has experienced a 10% drawdown since then. And I'm starting to feel like "fuck it" to losses when I normally don't even let it run.

I'm beginning to become careless and my thoughts are clouded. During the trading day, while trading, I would just walk away from the computer and take a short nap ~ maybe to just stop thinking about the problems.

But yeah, I started this thread in hopes of hearing similar situations from people and how they are able to segragate situations like these from their trading.

I have talked to a doctor friend of mine and I have been talking to family and friends.

I'm starting to lose interest in trading lately, too, so I suppose I need to take a break.

You need your head clear to trade. The "I dont care" mode can get expensive. Trade on demo or walk away.

The Swedish Ghost Rider averaged 170mph through traffic (!) for the 42 mile trip. Pretty wild. That was a Suzuki GSX1300R?

Yup. No one are even remotely close to doing 200+ km/h wheelies through traffic like the Ghost Rider ... check out the 500 bhp turbo 'Busa...
