The consequences of giving away the holy grail

[Trading Education Buyer]

The Holy Grail is over-rated dude.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Thinking about the Money... in trading ...can be debilitating...you almost have to be Psychotic,
-- and only view things as mechanical and percentages and an emotionless, meaningless, stupid, boring game

good trading is boring.This week I only had one trade for 110 ticks profit

There is a saying

Don't think in money value , it triggers your emotional brain of greed and despair, think in % because it is a fairer reflection of doing the job right.

Many phsychologists say , don't look at your account , look at following rules

We're not talking about the basics anymore. What you're saying is a truism.
In the end you're competing with other traders and you're judged on how much you make.

My dog did that in July on a camping trip... we gave her a flea-bath. (It gets ticks too).

I don't care how much they make or I make , as long as I can risk the least and get slow and steady wins.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Never have this thinking in the subconcious

"I wanted to make great money today , I bet 12 lots for a quick win instead of normal 2 , today is my day it will give me 600% more than everyday "

my balance is going down 600 % more today

If everybody was trading this formula , there would be 50,000 lots in demand instead of 50 lots, this would be suicide for the one who gave away the holy grail.

I agree,
Anyone who talks about a so-called "Holy Grail" in trading must kind of be full of stuff
There is no single...so-called Holy Grail to victory; there's only a series of good things you do, and shitty things you do in this game

A Trader has to wear many hats, and be very well-rounded;
Think like an Army General...see both the macro, and micro, picture of things as well.--Even play a foot solider, sniper, pilot, etc etc roles.
