Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

Quote from milktruck:

this is really bugging me.

can you confirm that it is only one word and that it does not start with non- or some kind of prefix so I can go through the dictionary and do it the hard way?

all I can come up with is nigga please, nonchalance, nards, neurotic, and narcisism - all words that had a lot to do with when I was not trading well.

It is 2 words like the last letter "L" - and the first is shorter than the last!

It is very obvious that people are not reading the other words!!!

Look at it as if it is a process!

I meant it as a metaphor because you're right, the market doesn't know us or care about our trades. Let's say you have an excellent system but you make 5 trades in a row exactly by your rules and all 5 are losers... that's what I meant by the market "punishing you" (with losing trades) even though you did the right thing (traded correctly). An example of the market "rewarding you" for doing what's wrong would be failing to execute a stop when a trade moves against you, hoping it will come back and it does... and makes you a large profit.

My best trades have almost always been the scariest ones to take... the positive P/L feels good, but after the trade starts working out. You haven't experienced this?

Hmm, some very interesting thoughts here!

What exactly constitutes "trading correctly"?

Also, sometimes the only way to make money on a trade is to have no stop at all - it is an "AON" bet!

E.G. my recent enough trade in a financial stock was an AON bet which made money "because" I had no stop in place!

So - did I do the right thing, or did I do the wrong thing!

The facts are such that I did the right thing, as I made some good money on the trade, and if I had lost the bet, I would have also done the right thing, as it was an AON bet!

Either way I was right, even if I lost!!

This trading is indeed a funny business, is it not!

Hey T666

I knew exactly what you meant, more so than you probably realize Sir


You see NYSESTOCK’s responding to my post was not meant for me, we both get it, it was meant to make others think


And to answer your question

Sure trading was scary (and all the other bad stuff) when I was still unsure of who I was – as a trader… When I lacked the understanding at my very being – what it means to be a trader…. When I was still unsure of what the market represented…..

But not anymore

I know what the market is, I know who I am as a trader, I trade exactly the way I must



Aside

This whole thread is truly my nirvana; I gravitate here specifically because I know – I, and a few others – share something extraordinary.


When NYSESTOCKS stated – He, I, and a few other view trading in a completely different light – (that we think differently) – It is very true Sir


I understand where he’s coming from, and I appreciate (more than words could ever express) what he’s offering other a chance to experience


If a trader can get the point (the lessons) he’s trying to instill – a whole new trading world will open up

It’s not like viewing the other side of a coin; it’s more like making a phase shift. And if a person can just make that transition – the possibilities are unbelievable Sir


Disclaimer time

I am a dumbass Redneck
There are no experts in trading
There are no trading gurus
Trading is Gambling
We all have winning trades and losing trades
There is no secrete sauce, indicator, or whatever


Aside

To some, what I’ve wrote will make sense, to others it will sound like holier than thou gibberish

I would only ask you to open up your mind to all possibilities please, for what’s being offered here is truly astounding…, and humbling

Take Care
Redneck

Maybe you are right, and maybe you are wrong!

Seeing is believing!

I think it is time for some brain lessons, let me see what I can dig up:D

Yes RT, it is good one if I do say so myself - I even laughed myself:D

I can just see all the scalpers, getting ready with their 4 dozen screens, and live "audio" feed into the futures pit:D

Might as well be listening to a bunch of pigs crammed into a lorry as they enter the gates of the slaughter house:D

Who gives a sh*te about big hedge funds or billion dollar pension fund "portfolio managers":D

If you want to learn how to take money from other traders then you better learn how to use that 3LB of spongy grey matter that is stuck between your two big ears:D

Like our little friend Jack, if you are not careful, then your little jump may just burn your bills to cinders :D
