Talent/Giftedness In Trading

Characterizing your market is "magical thinking"?

Do you know what characterizing one's market means?



Sorry. Of course not. I forgot whom I was asking.

Just in case Handle's response is overlooked:

Someone who is a pscychopath and only cares about making money in the markets ? MOST are doing time in the big house, think all eventually get caught. I concentrate on risk and probabilities.

My wife is a phsychologist and tells me that only those whom are mistreated or otherwise traumatized in childhood will become the killing type, although they ALL have the disposition for cereal murder, most will not travel down this path but instead... If by "the big house" you mean where the rock-stars of business and political success reside... They are more likely to be the CEO next door than the gang member next door. Or a president, or the trader next to you (if you are sitting next to one of the true, rare, profitable traders)

You're quoting me quoting somebody else. What he wrote was that most psychopaths are in jail. He didn't write anything about what creates a psychopath.

In any case, you may have misunderstood your wife, or else whoever taught her course in behavior pathology was mistaken. Yes, psychopaths and sociopaths are often mistreated and/or traumatized in childhood, but these are not necessarily preconditions.

You may want to go back to the first post and to Handle's response.
