Mind Control 101 – Trading cults in ET

[jjf]

Quote from Rabbitone:



Almost every ET thread shows signs of traders warding off mind control. This is why many replies on ET are characterized with such violent repulsiveness. These traders refuse to be mind controlled in any form and let other traders know it. They know they can’t let there guard down for a moment or some one will be picking their brain apart to control it.

Interesting point of view.
I would have thought that a skillful self aware Trader would approach a forum such as ET in a far more relaxed manner.

Let's try to take a look at these manipulators from a different vantage point. For example, what do these ET manipulators have in common with leaders of religious cults? One thing that they have in common is an offer of salvation if you follow them and a guaranteed etternal damnation if you don't. Note that most people get into trading to make money because somewhere deep inside they believe that money will in fact provide salvation from all their current problems. So while the manipulator does not neccessarily talk directly about salvation, it is a salvation for the follower. The salvation of course must never come because that would only mean that the followers leave.

Quote from Neoxx:

Respect should not be confused with naïveté, nor acquiescence with blind obedience.

I would not presume to dismiss another’s comments, particularly if their experience dwarfed my own. I have neither the vanity nor the temerity.

Material cannot be judged nor disregarded merely for challenging preconceptions or eluding rapid understanding.

But it’s no individual fault. It’s a sign of the times.

The culture of instant gratification.

Fickle, short-sighted and ultimately self-centred.

Still with the fancy words and pretty prose, eh Neoxx?

I would think your months of catyclismic failure trading SCT would have at least humbled you, but obviously that is not the case.

Some people are going to drink the kool-aid no matter what anyone else says.

And your delusion should not be confused with confidence and persistence.. SCT boot camp failed spectacularly and you are suffering from the same lack of success in the idiotic refinement thread.. some people deserve to be fodder for the markets

Skillful traders do approach ET in a more relaxed manor. They have self confidence in their methods and know themselves. However, when they enter a response in a mind controller’s thread or about a mind controller’s comments all hell breaks loose. This response is not in-line with the mind controller. That’s when they get crushed with replies telling them to move on if they don’t like the thoughts being presented or are told how “stupid” or like an idiot they are. There is no room to discuss alternative thoughts or methods.

This is when you see the violent repulsiveness I spoke about come from these traders. It is that or submit to the mind controller so they can continue being on the thread. Most seasoned traders leave rather than submit to the mind control.

Upon one's own philosophy, conscious or unconscious, depends one's ultimate interpretation of facts...

...As the man is, so will be his ultimate truth. – Carl Jung

Couldn't have said it better.

That's one reason why there are still people who deny climate change.

Incisive comment. Jack offers salvation with his grand claims void of substance or evidence, but all in all it's a bit of comical entertainment watching how he sucks in the naive and their daft attempts to make it work.

But Jack also says things like "you have elected not to participate with the markets", or "you have elected not to learn" etc. if you call his bluff, as if it's SCT or the highway to trading hell.

The reality is the guys spend years discussing where the channel lines should go and cheering Mr Black on while he breaks Jack's rules, and I get my weekends entertainment with a DVD, good food, bottle of wine and reading Hershey's voodoo comments.

There's some brilliant one's this week. You need a detachable jaw like a Burmese Python to swallow them.

Thanks Jack

Quote from jjf:

what does communication (good or bad) have to do with profitable trading.

Communication is a test of who you are. You are what you think.

Can you state explicitly what style of trading and what methods in that trading you will use for the remainder of your life. No? Then you may be the target of a mind controller plying their thoughts on you.

If you are well grounded, know yourself and your trading they can’t get to you. The most you will do tweak what you do. But, that will happen rarely.

Interesting couple of responses Rabbitone.

Would you say that you are a mind controller by your own definition.
