Quote from Joab:
I have no ideal what your even talking about and your anger and accusations are funny.
First you call me ignorant and then you tell me that I am a hate monger.
LOL
Did I touch a nerve when I said that Jesus Christ will be back to Judge our SIN?
COOL BOREDOM
The practice of meditation could be described as relating with cool boredom, refreshing boredom, boredom like a mountain stream. It refreshes because we do not have to do anything or expect anything. But there must be some sense of discipline if we are to get beyond the frivolity of trying to replace boredom. That is why we work with the breath as our practice of meditation. Simply relating with the breath is very monotonous and unadventurous--we do not discover that the third eye is opening or that chakras are unfolding. It is like a stone-carved Buddha sitting in the desert. Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens.
As we realize that nothing is happening, strangely we begin to realize that something dignified is happening. There is no room for frivolity, no room for speed. We just breathe and are there. There is something very satisfying and wholesome about it. It is as though we had eaten a good meal and were satisfied with it, in contrast to eating and trying to satisfy oneself. It is a very simpleminded approach to sanity.

Quote from Karma Yogi:
You often hear the phrase:
"Good trading is boring."
The the excitement is a very dangerous addiction.
For an athlete the result is always in doubt, which creates the excitement... if we do our job correctly and think in terms of probability, we know the outcome (not on an individual trade but over a series of trades)... there can be no doubt and therefore no excitementQuote from Joab:
Karma
I completely disagree with this statement.
I love the thrill of trading and to be bored whilst doing it would be stupid.... boredom breeds complacency .
Is a professional athlete bord ?
We as traders are no different then athletes in my opinion.

Let me tell you this like you are 5 years old because you speak the words of the half wise, you are correct when you say nobody knows what the market will do next... it is equally correct that nobody knows if the next toss of a coin will be heads or tails... but... and this is key... I know the next 100 coin tosses will produce 50 heads and 50 tails... and if I have done my job correctly, honed my system and know it backwards and think in probabilities then I also know what the next 100 trades will bring... and if you dont... then you will always be paying for my dinner... thats a pro my friend!Quote from Joab:
A true professional trader would never say such a ridiculous thing.
There is no one that knows what the market will do I repeat NO ONE not even if you knew EVERYTHING about a situation or trade.
The only traders that could be in such a position would be arb traders and even they are not immune 100%.
I've been in this business for over 25 years and seen lots of traders come and go because they "think" they have the markets cornered.
Bad belief system my friend.
