Thanks for the link Rolange (is that an anagram it sort of resound in my head as Lo Range and no I am not oriental).

I think Ego is a pretty huge chunk of it. That and of course fear (which seems like a huge umbrella emotion for most trader ailments).

Cheers,
Isn't Blowfish a favourite Japanese dish?

Hey without fear we wouldn't last long.

Without ego we would be androids or buddhist monks perhaps.

There is too much emphasis on everything that's (or may be) wrong with us these days. The we are told we can be fixed with this or that. The cost of new drugs has crippled the NHS.

By 2020 60% of illness in the EU will be 'stress related.'

A sick society or are sickness and fear, the price we pay for for capitalism?

Good for the economy. People spend more when they are afraid.

We are but human - not machines. I always know when to stay away from the trade desk now.

Sometimes you can listen to tapes, do yoga, meditation and still not be 'in the zone.' It's part of life.

After a couple of losers I go to the simulator and if this is unsuccessful then I shut down and come back another time.

The NLP software helped me indirectly insofar as it helped understand the human condition a little further.
