I don't get your beef with me expressing my experience on this thread.
You make it sound as if I sat back with a pad and pen, philosophised over what the game may be and then tried to go out there manifesting these ideas with my actions...
Nothing could be further from the truth -- The words did not create my game; instead the game created my words. What I posted here was nothing more than an expression of my actual experience...
How does a trader make things more difficult on himself by taking sometime to reflect and express his experience with the game?
PEACE and good trading,

C'mon, I don't have any beef with you. I express my thoughts and you express yours. There's no negativity towards that. You are being yourself and I'm being myself. I have a point, you have a point. You have your course of experience and your perspectives towards that, along with mine.
There's no difference between what we are doing. Some things there's an agreement, some things there's not. So really, no beef with you. I look at trading as I wrote. It's just trading. Who am I? Me. That's it... I don't have your poetic like perception.
But there are aspects of trading or me. They're parts of a whole, and I have my thoughts for them, also.
MU!
You raise an interesting point, stating something about what "trading is" indeed affirms one thing and denies another...
I understand what Joshu was pointing at with the Koan, but as long as the reader is intelligent enough to understand that words will always miss the "absolute" mark, the words can still point a finger.

Don,
Nice contributionI couldn't agree more with Einstein when he said "Everything should be made as simple as possible..."
Although, I am a little confused as to why you ended your post with "Although"? Do you feel that this thread and the expressions made on it somehow conflict with the meaning of your quote
PEACE and good trading,

No, I didn't disagree at all, just commenting on the unique posts.

Don't give me too much credit for deep insight- I was just having fun. I studied Korean and Japanese Zen for a little while, years ago, and some of the koans stuck. I think that in Korea, they are called something else. This was in my martial arts days, before kids.
Now, I get all the enlightenment that I need from their observations on life! Chopping wood and carrying water become raking leaves and mowing lawns!

Being that this thread was starting to diverge from it's initial intention -- I decided to start a new one entitled GG HATES "What is Trading"
