Psychotic or Neurotic?

Quote from harrytrader:


It is just pretext to justify up or down in the market. Some people just know the news before of course and since there are thousand of billions of interest to win it is too easy to even imagine the power of leverage of fake information...

Harry, I realize that any analysis is the human need to try to make sense of a random event such as the market......However I just wanted to find out what particular "quirks" we all share.

I am obsessive and more than a little compulsive.
Tend to be very emotional, both ways.
Prone to panic attacks.

Bob has a need to be right all of the time.
Tends to be negative.
Loves to gamble.

Does this describe any one else?

"random event" ? where is random when you have the scheme of the plunge with 10 point precision :D.

What's the purpose of making sense of the market if it is after the fact ?

Ah, a thread in which I can express my expertise. As you know, I am well trained in these matters.

Traders are essentially all the same.

Completely off the wall NUTS!

And of course I say that in a professional capacity.

neurotic, psychotic....just terms. Meaningless in the context in which we concern ourselves; which is trading. Here we are all just (to use a clinical term) BONKERS!

The Good Doctor.
 
I don't think a "normal" person can trade sucessfully...

95% of the population loses money in the markets..

you do have to be a "different" in order to succeed..

of course..I don't mean you have to be fxxked up in order

to succed in trading...but I think it acutally does helps if you are

just a bit compulsive
 
The difference between Neurotic and Psychotic is simple.

Neurotic is like depression.

Psychotic is loss of reality.

In that sense, I'm a neurotic. I'm constantly depressed and working on trading well...
