Traders trade emotions :They don't trade methods

Well it now sounds as though you realize that the problem is, as you stated, with the hundred methods in you brain, and not with trends being illusions, if they exist or not, of if they work. Glad to hear you've made progress!!

BTY, I only had this dialog with you for the purpose of practicing my typing! Still use only two fingers.Just never could get the hang of it.

The main problem is emotions and the amygdala brain , it can be over cautious or under cautious , the OP in this thread.


and I dialogue on forums , just to see a different viewpoint , but not neccesrily learn something new .Never have I ever met a real sucessful trader on forums , only a few years later will I know , if he still survives and remains .:)

I go back to the forums several years later , looking for the boasters , the gurus . the forum genuises , you later read they wrote something to give their image away.

There’s no art
To find the mind’s construction in the face.
He was a gentleman on whom I built
An absolute trust.

Oh yes it does! Being able to read the trend does wonders in eliminating greed, hope, and fear. Not being able to read the trend gives birth to them.

The only time I got emotional was when I planted some flower seeds in a sandbox in mid-winter. When no flowers grew I was as emotional as could be. But at the same time I proved without a doubt that gardening doesn't work!!

A skilled trend trading trader , very calm and intelligent and disciplined person , had a phone call from lawyer threatening him, he became stressed , in next to no time , he had made three mistakes and lost $1,000 within 15 minutes.

His mind was like these people going emotional turmoil

Here is a way to test , why mindsets and mental states dictate the failure of technical analyses, price action snake oil , trend trading and trend losses and chop outs.

If traders were given the above price action , trend trading ,chop outs and fundamental analysis , if the they were in the following emotional states , what would be the end results of the analyses?

An example using an outside influence is irrelevant. The same result would occur if he were sitting on a porcupine.
