Now that I know exactly what kind of emotions I experience when trading futures, I can safely say that this, "feel your inner-self, project outwards, bond with the one, combine with the UNIverse" horseshit does nothing for trading.

The best place for this sort of crap is in a few good sex books that teach you how to maybe extend an orgasm for a few seconds -- but otherwise it is just a downward spiral of forever grasping for something else to be that rope that keeps you from drowning.

Just learn how to trade and shut the f*** up about the psychobabble.

When you learn how to trade, you will be more accepting of those who use other methods to trade.

In the same way that someone who truly believes in their own religion or spiritual path is not concerned what others believe, the successful trader cares not what others do or do not believe in. They are happy, not angry when others have success with their system.

It is only those who do not really have a faith or belief that works for them that are intolerant of other's beliefs.

The I Ching is a bridge between the inner mind and the outer mind. The inner mind creates, the outer mind tells it what to create. I figure if I can get them both going in the same direction I should be able to create profits no problem.

So as you read the I Ching, it is the inner mind telling you, here's the status of my progress carrying out the instructions you have given me so far.

If the plan does not look so profitable, then you know you need to change your mind, which will change the instructions which will change the result.

If the plan looks profitable, then I guess you need to figure out some way to make nothing ever change, and I haven't gotten that far yet. But I suspect if you find something that is changless, that's probably a real money maker.

Hey man whatever floats your boat or finds that lost remote!

Personally while I have really enjoyed reading the I-Ching and feel there is much wisdom contained within, I simply do not see how throwing lil sticks around is going to help you make any decisions on the hard right edge...

You are probably one of the most dangerous types of posters on ET. Why? Because you are arrogant, presumptuous and egotistical. You are also obnoxious. You are so in love with yourself, I can't tell where your head ends and your ass begins.

What I said is basically the truth. If someone finds something that makes them a better trader, then that's awesome. I'm finding my way very nicely right now.

However, if you're going to roam around the board and:

a) Post stupid psychobabble
b) Not back up your trading record
c) Trying to piss off other users

Then perhaps you should stop reading all those Eastern transmetaphysical books and grow up. You're a little kid, BRO.

Take your DUDE and BRO shit out of here and grow up and be a man. Don't be a little pussyfooting twinkie boy who masquerades around the board in 500 aliases just to start shit with other people.

You're a disservice to this community.

AND THAT IS THE *TRUTH*

aint that the truth. I guarantee ya, if you take delight in another's failure, oh man, it will come back to haunt you big time.

It doesn't say "Love your enemies" because it just wants everybody to feel good. No, that is a survival technique.

Dido... I'd also like to add that...

Once you start trading, you see yourself more. You tend to realize that you are yourself but also that you are no different from others. It's just that the way we percieve things are different.

Being able to accept that you are different from everyone also tends to lead that others are different. That actually lead me to respect differences. In a way, disrespecting others also means to disrespecting myself because I accept I'm different.

It really doesn't matter, it's all the same. I could have started an RSI thread on the TA forum, and the same arguments would have come up.

I Ching, Chart, Stochastics, same thing. Most everyone however agrees, whatever works for you. My only point is, you can approach it two ways.

Whatever works for you
1. Try whatever and see if it works.
2. Figure out who you are, and then it will be obvious what works.

I shoulda been the guy who said "know thyself" cause that's a good one.

Apex:

Perhaps because he is so arrogant and presumptuous he is able to trade centered in the moment, listening only to her messages and his own judgment.

Another point of view would be: perhaps he is the most convincing, persuasive and confident liar around. And if that's the case, how do you know he is not telling you the truth?
