The dark side of trading

For anyone wanting to improve their ET browsing experience:consider blocking Maxinger.

He recently blocked me and not having his instant,lonely,angry and nonsensical input into every thread that hits the board has made for a more enjoyable experience.

Apparently hes a different person on the lawn bowls and mahjong forums.

@semperfrosty is a saint calling the kettle black.

semperfrosty called the kettles postings instant,lonely,angry and nonsensical.I think we can agree that my assessment holds up in this case.

Fyi you blocked me due to the below posting:

Note the smiley face implying that I was truly not that bothered and just playfully interacting.

Your self development exercise for this week is to work on that thin skin of yours.

All the best,

Saintfrosty.

The dark side is that profitable trading is routine. No place for emotions, basically you work with data, gather, backtest, change something, check live performance, etc. Not quite different from other job like accountant. The only difference is that it requires incomparably higher level of skill and knowledge possible from completely different subjects.

Many traders consciously switch to the dark side of trading when they try to earn a lot and quickly. Therefore, they trade with greed and passion, do not observe risks, do not know how to wait and want to constantly be in the market for more earnings. Therefore, they do not succeed and only annoyance and disappointment remain in their souls.
