The way traders handle greed in trading seems to not be complete.
Even when the problem is psychology, the solution saught is not through
sorting the psychology! I wonder if those who go into trading are
a little scarred of psychology.

Greed - fear of not having / getting enough :
I'll check this perspective.
I'll check this perspective.
Greed can be compared in its excess to Gluttony.
Can't stop doing the behavior that leads to problems.
Addiction to gambling ( or trading-gambling, etc...) can be better illustrated with eating addiction extreme case.
The benefits of trading is one can get a chance to deal with whatever psychological/spiritual issues, the trader has. Many people are scarred of the www.dhamma.org , but I'd say this is
an essential step. Any losing trader who is not giving themselves a chance via the dhamma.org
deserves to lose.
Very good case to view greed via greed of food.

So some thoughts about this "addiction to food" greed for food story.
*) at the funerals : many people. when he was struggling just his ex ( who did not attend the funerals) , who run away strangely when she sensed he could get some real help. May be the questions about what she was feeding him reached too close to something. Interestingly she acknowledges the issues were there from the start!
*) he was asked each time to make a step to "win" the help, and each time he would fail at it.
One guy suspected his wife was an "enabler".
*) he has a "hope for a savior" / "salvation" mentality. That obviously did not work as each time he was asked to prove himself.
*) He obviously could not control his cravings for food that lead him to a worse and worse situation
*) The origin of it: psychological as it started with some depression and anxiety.
Even then, he stated that taking pills made him less depressed and anxious, thus he had less cravings for food.
Obviously greed, and various cravings are manifestation of some anxiety.
Greedy person : person with unresolved anxiety problems.

Now that we have "reassured" the broker we are not coming for a clean up, we can play. 
So let's start to play: Now we play to win.
Wasted a full week, but stuff had to be done. Now we can play.
And THANK YOU again for the help you provided to sort the situation:
Saint, sane, healthy and pure atmosphere reigns.

Let's remind of the traps of pride ( the real source/reason for overconfidence).
The study of the fall of Lucifer, so as to understand Lucifer thinking , so as
to avoid the traps of pride ( in whatever way it manifests itself).
The Bible really contains so many aspects for trading issues. Had I known
that I'd have studied the Bible along the other trading aspects.
Much complete summary of Lucifr famm from hraven.

It looks like studying "Evil" people ( as shown by evil thoughts and actions) is necessary to get into the core of trading psychology.
I have been given a case ( real one) to study.
So this guy got his life completely shattered, into a mistaken identity situation.
Basically, a guy drove for hours to go and get "revenge" spree , to go and damage for life an innocent person in the guy's accusations.
The attacker actually first thought his family member got aggressed. But later on,
once justice went through, it turns out that not only this was false, but also the person
he attacked had nothing to do with his accusations.

Most interesting : the psychology/actions of the culprit
1) The culprit hide himself till the Police found him.
2) enlisted people to help him hide his identity ( his wife was first charged with perverting
the court of justice, aka preventing justice to find the culprit)
3) Only in court - and after some "sessions" only police know of, did he acknowledged
what he did. And only because of the Justice system, did he apologize to the victim.
Obviously, this exemple is a typical illustration of the psychology behing evilness:
- hatred
- vigilante
- not using the Law system ( where he'd have found out that there was no
family aggression!!!
- barbaric methods
- avoiding the Judicial system at all costs
- liying
- using others to cover up the crime via manipulation,
What is behind the psychology of the culprit?

Obviously, we need again to learn about Lucifer's fall.
Need to understand how a person passes from good trading psychology,
to "bad" trading psychology ( lack of discipline, revenge trading, overleveraging,
overconfidence trading, ...)
