Testosterone drugs for trading?

[Hydroblunt]

Not the first time I hear that roids help out with trading.

i drank the powdered OJ from an MRE once and my friend and i could swear we were amped to get in some fights or something

i would lthink that the opposite would be the case, that something that increases testosterone would cloud judgement and logic...that something more calming would help.

The military finds use for dextroamphetamine in CONOPS and SUSOPS conditions. Then uses sedatives such as benzodiazepines ect to offset the Dexedrine.


Some say trading is a kin to war so people will strive to find an edge to win.


I don't for a second advocate the use of Meds for trading..Its madness the long term effects from can be devastating.

But you can see why people try and take the easy way to control their mind set, with out realising the problems their going to have to deal with later down the line.

WTF are you talking about. I spent 12 years in the military in parachute infantry and as a medic. This is total BS. Now if we were in the field for a long time without sleep or much food we would save our coffee packets and I would empty the coffee grounds into my mouth and suck on them before swallowing them. It would pump me up for about 4 hrs. But the military doesn't give you anything but a lot of grief.

BTW, Test Porpionate, the propionate is a compounding ester that any compounding pharmacy can mix up. This is very big for treating Andropause (man menopause). Even a lot of Doctors are using testosterone these days to enhance their sex lives. Sorry nurses you gotta work overtime tonight

Maybe you should of asked the pliots about "go pills" & "no go" pills.

Most come to that conclusion....Hence the misuse of the ones I outlined before..

Sounds like you were on Special Ops - they saved the psychoactive (stress psycho) drugs for the grunts.

My bad, I don't know anything about the fly boys. I would have liked something as a ground pounder though. Those coffee grounds tasted like crap.

The mind sure does wander on what goes on with the prescribed meds that as JJ says doesn't get disclosed :eek: ..

As for traders, I tend to lean on the view that most didn't go out directly to get the listed Meds just for improving their edge.

Its a conquense of the ease of prescription for the genuinely stressful side effects of Trading.

I agree. I have been told by several doctor friends of mine that do take testosterone that it does give them a mental boost. We do know it can also make a man more aggressive so maybe those two things combined have helped their trading in the short term. Now long term, how will it work out for them?
