Psychology? ...so much wasted time.

You don't understand , I have several strategies and am extremely busy during trading time , so I call my trades in advance when I can .The time stamp is on the thread , I might post 2 hours after a deal (becuse of chaos/busy in the markets).

Some of the trades are called 6 hours in advance , these have a time stamp on the thread .

You learn something from each pychologists .I learn't something from Tharp.I am grateful to all of them.

The people who dismiss psychology are usually scammers , with the other motives , like trying to to sell price action courses without the need for psychology.
I don't mean the time stamp here on elite trader, I mean the time stamp from your fill. It should at the very least be in HH:MM:SS format. Why did you suddenly become busy when I asked this question? Did a rerun of "Only Fools and Horses" suddenly come on the tele? I'm too busy to deal with this crap myself! I got a rerun of Walker Texas Ranger to catch....
 
That is a very rational way of looking at it, but human emotion by nature is not rational. You can predict all the possible outcomes and still be anxious.

One thing DB said that stuck with me as spot on and quite helpful was...He was expecting something to happen and it didn't happen so he exited flat. Real simple. Some will say it's so simple it's useless but what DB said was more detailed than what I described. I would love for him to reply to this because he has a way of saying so much and causing others to say so much that most people aren't able to separate the important from unimportant details...and yet I have always gotten something useful from his posts so I probably just persist harder than many of you. But unlike him I'm tight lipped and it needs to be that way so you won't get anything useful from me.

No one can predict everything that can happen but within the constraints of what has to happen to enter or stay in a trade I don't see any value in preparing for emotion.

Weak rules are the cause of emotions.

If anyone thinks self-moderated threads or something else can bring DB back I encourage you to pursue those ideas but you are on your own. I'm done being a spokes person for miracles.

I did not become busy when you said , I explained sometimes I can not post everything , at the time of entry.You can see prices on chart , compare it with my post

closed the call for 107 profit and the weekly put for 20 profit = 127 profit at 10420

He may be making more money on t2w selling education , under a new suck up forum handle.You go where you get paid more!
 
When traders feel emotion which results in physical symptoms such as change in heart rate it's because they haven't defined the finite set of possible outcomes for the setups they're trading. They are not only uncertain what's happening ...they don't have formal rules for how they're going to react to whatever price chooses to do next. Psychology? ...so much wasted time.

Are you into provocation?????
And then later on you are asking about Db, as well as about techniques: why not simply post under the thread trading system, tradinh technique and post honestly about your issues?
 
Congratulations to TEB on reaching 100 Likes! Looking forward to his next thousand posts...


Nobody ever got banned for starting 7 phsychology threads in a day!That is a world record.

It was all uncertainty .WTF was going on ?Traders were anxious how wrong they were about trading psychology , Educators were reaching for Whisky , and the mods were confused ..................................WTF WTF is going on?

Studying psychology is helpful, but it's not a substitute for everything else. I may have misread your intent or it could be one of my long standing beliefs because I generally disagree with the idea it should hold a high place in what I need to be focused on.
