Good luck with your trading.

There's no need to get overly concerned with evidence.All the evidence points to the fact that a tobin tax ain't gonna work,in fact it will have the opposite result to the one desired.But that's not going to deter Sarkosy. There is not a shred of proof that Iran has now.or is developing a nuclear weapon, but that won't stop the neo cons from trying to start another war.All the evidence points to the fact that more debt won't solve the euro crisis but 'there is no plan B'
You see there is evidence and there is agenda and bullshit always has an agenda regardless of evidence.

If you know how to trade, then you should know precisely why Rande. (I a not sure he is a psychologist) is on a trading forum.

Are we detecting a hint of anger in your posts ... is there something about BS that upsets your equilibrium?

As you suggest, please note that this is a trader psychology forum -- dealing with the emotional and mental aspects experienced in trading. And that is why I'm here. MM, I'm actually a LPC. In the trading world the term psychologist gets pretty slurred. That means I have a state approved license to practice therapy and carry insurance for that purpose. I have a performance based approach, though I find that, with most traders, there are self limiting beliefs embedded into our perception that need to be reconstructed and redeveloped to build the kind of mind that functions well in the trading environment.

Nothing on TL upsets my equilibrium.In the real world politics does.Seeing people die in illegal wars makes me angry.Seeing people starve in the 21st century does.Being lied to by people in power who i have zero respect for,does.Seeing the 1% rich get richer at the expense of the 99%..stuff like that.But no more or less than the average person.

I know a lot of my posts here come across like rants,but hey,maybe that's why i don't need a shrink I also found out some time ago that i know almost fuck all about most things which is why i don't take my own bullshit too seriously,and therefore,by default,neither should you.

Mitsubishi,

You don’t have to be a trader to be fascinated with and / or need to understand how the humans typically deal with an environment that presents continuous uncertainty.
You don’t have to be a psychologist either.

We become more proficient in an arena as we raise our awareness.
We become more proficient in an arena that we hone and leverage our focus …
We become more proficient in what we “measure”…
Bringing a "threat orientation" instead of an "opportunity orientation" diminishes our chances of doing any of the above.

Rande simply offers some ways to destroy some 'threat' patterns and create some 'opportunity' patterns. His is a niche. In fact, all trading vendors, even the ones who believe they have the solution for everyone, only have a tiny niche ...and only a tiny 'success' rate too. After all they are dealing with ... traders


All the best,

zdo
