Surelly interesting,for me the art of contrary thinking is an opposition of thought a different way to see the world and conseguently accept the consequence of change,that the contrary thinking done, in better or in worst..
What make me to reflect and some time worry me,is always watch like politic class helped to the media especially tv and radio ,that with their daily routine to oppress people mind, with a obsolescence news,this is for me not good, the obsolescence thinking .Is the dead of serenity of people.

The latest italian news confirmed the will of berlusconi to give dismission but is most important before the ddl for stability law.
-
Yes i know!sorry!but i saw in late after wrote the last post yesterday night that you started a thread ,about italy under spotlight in this time .i think that you are lucky and not unlucky to not being a soothsayer!i read sure your thread.is interesting for me.

I think it is better to philosophise or to do. Trying to do both at the same time is often difficult.
Btw are you happy about the Berlusconi news?
Sure is better,but i think that is the trading path that arrive in a determinate point arrive to meet both,and is more difficult,as fascinating.
Yes i thing that is better that he will give dismissal ,is became a surreal government,full of comic politics ,that love play,with the future and life of people,what that i hate is that he was so full of good promises for the people,my fear is the people that have contamined minds,and if don't change also the way of thought and act of many people,,also with the new President,,is another government full of thief and problems.because,if the government see that his people have like the first thougth not the will of increase his wealth ,the government and all his parlamentary don't want only his salary amount 15000 euro at month more the life annuity after 5 years,he want to steal on every thing,contract work, etc and all the money destinated and other things also beneficence other speculating action on work of recostruction ,like abruzzo disaster,or other public work ,and the government give and teach all people and also new generation the big art of steal,i think and hope(for us) that also in other state and not only in Italy there are this kind of problem,but i think in less quantity,when i go in other state i see with my eyes that the thing are different and many time better. action reaction,is the true problem of life.and what you think,and which effect have in your state,the Berlusconi news ?

Hmm. I think I get what you are saying. You love trading but there are things which have made you step back and question your whole understanding of the nature of trading and the markets as a whole. Part of this is other things have kept you away from trading for a while. Am I correct?Anyway, if I am right I'd say two things. One it's good to question. A period of forced reflection may help you to get to the core of your method. Two the markets have been wild for a while now. You have to adapt to the market day by day.
I think that everyone does go through a questioning phase like this and I think it's good. When you come out of the other side, you'l be more clear, more focussed and more determined to be that independent trader!
You have correctly understand ,i like trading,but i'm awareness that maybe i like more my first work,and i'm awareness also that i'm coming in a trading side that for my unlucky,change direction from the big race to make money's,for analyzing why we are so attract to trading,there are many psicological and social side of trading that i like,but i fear that is better to return at the first thought,to make money's is better for my pockets,and more light for my soul and head,without think too much to other things.and also i'm the opinion that one time that we found a method,is better to stop to study from a bit of time,because we can become confused,and i don't like.this,and maybe i had stopped for a bit,also because in italy we have big problem in this time,with the government, with economic and financial crisis.like a consequence.
-
Thanks for your optimism,lovely,ìm not so sure like you,maybe because i put in first position other topics,i think is the true problem or lucky that distracted me,from trading .since some month ago i love trading now i'm in a mystic and thoughtful time.maybe its happened somethings and i would like to understand better what!
-
Thanks for the test,iìm just done,i'm an independent trader,or better the perspective are of an independent trader when will become one day my first job,if will become.

You'll keep! We golfers have long memories!Ingot you married at 4 years old?

I think that being a successful trader, at least for a man, would make him have a better image of himself. A man's self worth can be tied to his ability to provide for a wife and family. And that ability to provide, can be tied to his self-worth, and the self-worth can be linked to interest in sex.This is out of my "comfort zone", and I'm pushing my limits here. I think we are venturing from PG, to R rating now. :rofl:
Its true your definition but for me i would like add that for would have a better image of
us,there aren't difference between woman and man is an.. for me a big respect of ourself .a part of trading or life in generis.
I meant another thing about the trading and his consequence interest in sex.in people.

No, I've never had a weight problem. I don't gain weight. My brain may be atrophying though. :rofl: When I imagine what a trader looks like, I don't imagine someone who has gained a lot of weight. Even though it's a sedentary type of work, I don't picture traders as being overweight. I picture traders as people who want something more out of life, and may want to take good care of themselves. I picture traders as people with higher standards somehow, and striving for something other than average.So that image I have of the typical trader, and the effects of stress don't seem to be totally in sync. I guess that is part of what is interesting to me.
Yes,i'm joking about it ,some people said that if you gain weight can depends from the activity of brain IF .You are a trader so you live your state of being trader like you are.if you are a people that take cure about you,and love to see you ever in good mould ,you'll have a
kind of lifestyle,you make sport,don't eat fat foods and don't cooking with fat.Lovely your description,that you imagine traders people that want some more out of life.maybe you are so ,maybe you don't think like become many rich ,but maybe you are more interesting at the consequence ant the effect that trading can product.I like observe ad exemple in this time some effect that trading has on sex and on the pairs sex activity.I talk so because i can observe that in many period of year sex are less importance if you don't take in consideration like a good lifestyle.Trading some time can killed sex activity in the people.My personal opinion how i live so.

molto divertente :haha:Dear tuccio trader i don't see nothing of funny in this post,its only the true,you don't know the ossidative stress?there are some doctors that wrote some books about it.you can read and after if you don't take vantage you can make A BIG LAUGHING ........
-
But does trading stress make traders stupid and fat? Hmmm? That would be an interesting study. I'd think it would be difficult to be stupid and be a successful trader.tradewinds ,have you get fat in this days ?maybe is your brain....:rofl:
-
Studies have been done that show the neural networks in a stressed out monkey have fewer branches than in a less stressed monkey. So stress can make you stupid. Oh, and it makes you fat too.Yes and stress make you more old ,because is one of principal causes of ossidative stress.its important to have a good lifestyle and eat without fat ,eating many fruits and vegetables and drink almost 2 L daily water.and make sport not many hours a day after 30 years old.evitating also many sun exposition without 50 sun protection.clearly the drugs use and alcool abuse :thumbs down: is neither to take in consideration,for live better.

ahimsaThat term will not be found much in mainstream media.
SuperCongress is a term coined by the fringe media who are (justifiably) a little apprehensive about its implications. Slippery slope – starts as a ‘commision’ to pre-reconcile “cuts” and dealing with the debt… then gets used for something else… in a few years…
What kind of supercongress is happening in Italy?
Yes,:
: i try to search the news in generally not the term on the news that arrive in continuos,especially on google news i throw an eye ever.In Italy yesterday are riunited all the government exponent live on tv from senate,for talking about the economic crisis. -
I am a member of many trading facebook and have my own facebook page. I just want to know the names of your groups so I can make sure to join them and be a part of them.TL has a facebook page ,you can read or write also here,if you don't have a problem to make know your identity to all people of tl.

Is the debt ceiling deal supposed to be some sort of a cruel joke? Is this what the American people have been waiting months and months for? The "debt ceiling deal from hell" is a complete and total fraud. Barack Obama will not need to worry about the debt ceiling again until after the 2012 election, and no "real" spending cuts will happen until after the 2012 election. The way the political game in Washington D.C. is played today, if you don't get something right now, you probably will never end up getting it. The Republicans have traded a massive debt ceiling increase right now for the possibility of very skimpy budget cuts in the future. Meanwhile, this deal establishes a new "Super Congress" that threatens to fundamentally alter our political system (and not in a good way). The funny thing is that everyone is running around proclaiming that the Tea Party won this battle. That is a complete and total lie.So what about the $917 billion in "immediate" spending cuts that the Republicans are getting as part of this deal?
Well, they aren't really spending cuts at all. Rather, they are spending caps. Basically what is happening is that future spending increases are being cancelled and our politicians are selling that to us as "spending cuts".
What is even sadder is that the $917 billion is spread over ten years and the vast majority of the "cuts" are in the latter years.
For example, even if you consider these to be "spending cuts" (which they are not), the deal calls for only about $25 billion in "cuts" in 2012 and only about $47 billion in "cuts" in 2013.
25 billion dollars is far less than one percent of the federal budget, so needless to say these "cuts" are not very impressive at all.
Okay, so how about the second stage of the deal which will produce "spending cuts" of between 1.2 and 1.5 trillion dollars?
Well, yes, these would actually be spending cuts and they would be spread over 10 years.
Near the end of the year, the new "Super Congress" (more on that in a minute) will submit a proposal to Congress which could cut spending over the next 10 years by a total of up to 1.5 trillion dollars.
If the recommendations of the "Super Congress" are not implemented, than "automatic" spending cuts of $1.2 trillion will go into effect over the next 10 years.
However, there are some very important things to remember about these "spending cuts".
First of all, none of these "automatic" spending cuts would even go into effect until 2013. The face of American politics will be dramatically different by then, and there is absolutely nothing that makes these cuts binding on Congress.
As Gregg Easterbrook recently noted, Congress can cancel spending cuts at any time and for any reason....
By projecting the only tangible savings — which aren’t even specified, but are merely caps — into the future, the plan allows Congress to cancel them. In 2012 or any future year, Congress will say, “We can’t have caps this year because of the [iNSERT ANY WORD CHOSEN AT RANDOM] crisis. We are postponing action till next year.” Rinse and repeat.
As I have written about so many times before, the U.S. national debt is completely and totally out of control. This was supposed to be the moment when at least some members of Congress were finally going to get serious about our exploding debt. Unfortunately, our politicians have sold us down the river once again.
Even if the best case scenario happens (which it never does) and Congress sticks to this deal for the full ten years (which is about as likely as hell freezing over), the "savings" that this deal would produce are quite pathetic as Peter Schiff recently explained....
The Congressional Budget Office currently projects that $9.5 trillion in new debt will have to be issued over the next 10 years. Even if all of the reductions proposed in the deal were to come to pass, which is highly unlikely, that would still leave $7.1 trillion in new debt accumulation by 2021. Our problems have not been solved by a long shot.
Keep in mind that Congress can change this deal whenever it wants.
So nobody should get excited about these "spending cuts". After all, when was the last time that "future spending cuts" actually materialized in Washington?
The reality is that neither political party seems to want to do much to cut government spending.
So the band will play on and the can will get kicked even farther down the road.
When Obama was inaugurated, the U.S. national debt was $10,626,877,048,913.08.
Today, it is $14,342,358,440,969.10.
But what this "debt ceiling deal" will do is it will give the congressional leadership of both parties much more power.
The new "Super Congress" that this deal establishes will be granted "extraordinary new powers" that regular members of Congress do not possess.
For example, The Huffington Post says that any new legislation produced by the "Super Congress" will not be able to be filibustered or amended....
Under the reported framework, legislation the new congressional committee writes would be fast-tracked through Congress and could not be filibustered or amended.
So who will be a part of the "Super Congress"?
The members will be chosen by the leadership of both parties.
So anyone that is not part of the "establishment" is not likely to be included.
The following is what U.S. Representative Ron Paul had to say about this new "Super Congress"....
"Nothing more than a way to disenfranchise the majority of Congress by denying them the chance for meaningful participation in the crucial areas of entitlement and tax reform. It cedes power to draft legislation to a special commission, hand-picked by the House and Senate leadership."
It is this new "Super Congress" that will decide what will be in the package of "spending cuts" that will be voted on by the end of the year.
Regular members of Congress will be frozen out of the process.
On December 23rd, Congress will be required to vote up or down on the spending cuts proposed by the "Super Congress". Regular members of Congress will not be allowed to amend the legislation in any way, and no filibusters will be permitted.
Does that sound very "American" to you?
The more that one examines this "debt ceiling deal", the worse it looks.
Meanwhile, many Democrats are running around and acting as if their lunch money was just stolen.
For example, the following is what Politico is reporting that U.S. Representative Mike Doyle said about this deal....
“We have negotiated with terrorists,” an angry Doyle said, according to sources in the room. “This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money.”
Democratic congressman Emanuel Cleaver was even more dramatic when he proclaimed that this deal "looks like a Satan sandwich".
Well, this deal is a total nightmare, but not for the reasons that Cleaver is suggesting.
This deal opens the door for more rampant deficit spending, and nearly all of the "spending cuts" are put off until after the 2012 election.
Basically, the Republicans got taken out behind the woodshed and beaten to a pulp on this one. Any Republican that is trying to proclaim that the debt ceiling deal is a "great victory" is a complete moron.
But in the end, it really does not matter which political party gets a "victory" out of all this. What matters is that our federal government is still steamrolling toward a date with financial oblivion.
If this is the best that our politicians can come up with, we are absolutely doomed.

HI ,how can i try more information of this american supercongress,today also in italy are riunited in a special super congress,but i try to search the american debate and i don't found,it.thanks in advance.

Thank you for your time. I am a trader who doesn't use stop losses, because I never know where to place them. I intraday trade, and sometimes I see where they would get stopped out if I'd placed them below this candle or above that one. Does anyone have any practical tips for placing stop losses?The stop-loss use is a choice that a trader must do before open a position.if you are a scalper depends which time frame used,and how during your trade, usually.the traders that don't use stop-loss are awareness to the consequence and the dangers and don't like use it.but its also true that not ever is simple close the trade without saw the loss far away.if you really want use stoploss ,i think that you must do some weeks of demo.you can start to use a time frame to 5 or 15 minutes,and decide to put the stop loss not so tight.in this way the stoploss don't close too much early your position.If you don't are a scalper but you work with a more wide breath,you'll use stoploss with more flexibility.
-
aren't you talking about the same thing?I don't know,i'm not so sure maybe its possible that my question is misrepresent.i mean that for me when we start we are more sure,after some gain and sure to had found a good strategy,for a profitable trade, it's inevitable that we loss,after the first loss we start to become insecure, and here the market don't gave to us a lesson,but are us that start to learn to take some confidence with market.When the traders move against the market opening a position without reflect or against trend,start to operate with a bit of arrogance,and here for me that the market punishing the traders.if only we'll have the same cold to operating of when we read a chart after the close,i think that we'll must all millionaire.maybe i can think that after some time,overconfident loss and insecure gain...maybe...if don't take the place too much fear to open position.and loss money.

I did an internet search on the word ego and happened to see a quote from a book stating that:Ego is The False Center
The explanation is, that Ego is something created by the outside world. In other words, we want validation, acceptance and praise from the outside world, not from an inner acceptance of ourselves.
We develop our sense of self by whatever feedback we get from the outside world. As an infant or young child, we have no influence over how we are treated or taken care of. We are simply at the mercy of our caretakers. These caretakers influence the sense of ourselves.
But hopefully, at some point, we have a choice to create our own validation from within. But this choice to refuse the outside worlds' definition and validation of yourself may result in a crisis of identity. If your whole understanding and definition of yourself comes from the outside world, and you decide to let go of that, then what fills the void? What gives meaning, worth and direction you?
Me too i done a internet search (further to some psychology books that i read ),and if it can help you further Rande answers,that is a teacher in psychology. In psychoanalisis l'ego correspond at io ( I ),because is the italian Translate from latin used by Freud,l'io administer defense mechanism.in many psychoanalitic schools,like the psichoanalisis of i ,one of the first objective is to reinforce the i so don't happen that like a ship risk to rest at the mercy of inconscious. BUT i read also that isn't correct to assimilate io to ego only for a linguistic translate like freud done,because,in psychology,l'io rappresent a psychic structure,l'i is the principal mediator of awareness.the i is the central manager of every psychic activity.ego is a primordial mould of i .

Hmm. Do you think it is better to accept trading as a stressful type of activity, have an awareness of it and then de-stress later, or is it better to strive towards a mellow stress-free state while trading? Is there a simple answer or is it something which depends on the individual?trading and especially forex for me is stressy activity,but all depend to the life style of an individual.if you make a job like trading (but isn't the only stressy job),tha put you in a ever stress condition,because your brain needed to stay ever alert especially if you made scalping.make a sport like yoga or pilates ,i mentioned pilates because his inventor PILATES studied oriental discipline like yoga in orient,and in alternative to yoga you can make pilates without problem,especially if you couple this discipline with a bit of meditation,you can help your body and especially your mind to get a good equilibrium psycho.phisic.you can start after your daily work session,or before.the important is that become part of you and only when your body and your soul needed in natural way the necessity,you can say that is your lifestile,because you feel that cannot live without it.the ossidative stress is a very important topic ,many doctors studied the dangerous effect on the human being.this stress come when the radical-free take the upper hand on us.we must avoid all the wrong comportament that increase.it.this is for me a good lifestyle that can help to lessen the stress of forex,or better help you to trade without stress.

Sometimes forex cause me a lot of stress.Noticed that manual trades cause me more stress than the zulutrade' s signals I receive as well, propably because I am the only responsible for these trades and not my signal providers. I have thought that mobile forex could help me stay relaxed as makes it possible for me to check the account everywhere and anytime. So I bought an ipad but now I am thinking of the trades all the time.
The thing is that my yoga lessons has stopped for the summer time so I really have no way to relax.
Could forex be unhealthy?
forex is so stressy,that you can feel the sensation to have the head fuse with a consequence of nervous stress.that can transform in ossidative stress.i made fitness but never with almost 30 minutes of pilates that put the body and mind in a good equilibrium,after you stay better with the healt and the body.is good for a traders because help the posture and gift a graceful carriage many useful for who work many hour with the monitor.
-
Well, that is a black and white reactionI think he was referring to 'which is worse, ego or fear' when saying that things aren't black and white ...MMS
i think that is worse fear than ego .ego live most in surface in our conscious state,fear live more in deep in our inconscious,and come when we don't expect,and this is worse for the trade.but i think that the worse moment in trading are others because is full of ugly moment,maybe ego and fear sometime can help us for close and stop a loss or for don't open a wrong position.

Search is not working correctly. If I do a search for the word "ego" in posts or titles, the search results return nothing. But there are posts with the word "ego".hi tradewinds,you can try to search the IO (i) is the same of ego.
