Re: E-Mini Chatroom

Steve,
Either you posted to the wrong thread or I inadvertently touched a hot spot. If I did please forgive me. I believe that one of the reasons this site - Traders Laboratory - is so popular is because of the hive-mind mentality. Each of us have unique gifts in different areas of our lives. It's when we come together as a community to share those ideas that we can truly accomplish wonderful things because we are no longer dependent on simply our own strength but the strengths of many.

Here's an old story you may be familiar with -

There was a blind man who has a healthy body to walk and a disabled person who has very good eyes to see. Neither of them alone can do much for himself. But when the disabled person climbs on the shoulders of the blind man, together they can travel and achieve their goals easily. Similarly, the body alone can do nothing for itself. It is like a log unable to move or do anything by itself except to become a subject of impermanence, decay and death. The mind itself can do nothing without the support of the body. When we mindfully watch both body and mind, we can see how many wonderful things they do together.

The only drawback for the new trader is that he allows himself to become dependent on a "Guru" to do his thinking for him. That is in and of itself a most ugly snare. We must all take responsibility for our own thoughts and trades. That said, it is often the humble teacher who learns the greatest lesson.

"Of whom much is given, much is required."

Blessings
DeWayne
