Let's Try an Experiment

Recommended Posts

:rofl:

 

Your comment reminded me of an interview that i saw on TV with a woman in the UK talking about the birth of the royal baby.

 

She expressed the opinion that she was "Amazed" that the child was a boy.

 

Well, the moon IS in the 7th Sun, and Jupiters aligned with Mars, so I guess anything is possible.

Tomorrow we will be doing Jpennybags Tails/short.

 

This is wild, 3 in a row so far. If we win tomorrow it will blow my mind.

My trading day is usually done by 09:30 so I have never really watched PA on a small TF at the NY open.

Some very interesting stuff going on. After this "experiment" we should talk about it.

 

:applaud:

 

:missy:..... Getting excited for my friday's entry. Dun want to be the first "random looser".

are you giving off bad magnetism/ vibrations or just a case of bad luck?

None of the above... it's a coin toss. Anyone who believes in " (bad) vibrations, (bad) magnetism, or (bad) luck" should find another occupation.

Patuca's so right - there's like, a really negative atmosphere around you dude - like you're just willing for stuff to go wrong and bringing all this negative energy to the project . . . maybe you should just, like, blow this whole scene and go find your own space man, yeah?

Really... I don't know what to say to that. I flipped the coin and made an entry because it seemed like a fun diversion, and that Mystic was asking for volunteers. True... I don't place much value on such "projects" (if one could call it that). It was my understanding that this was purely entertainment. To Mystic: if I've said anything that offended you, I apologize... it was unintended.

No, no not at all. It is purely entertainment. I think Blue's comment was cheek in tongue anyway.

Just as an interesting thought/observation - as part of the experiment.....and I also assume JPBags was not too serious....

 

There is the hint that it is somehow his fault - the apology for the streak being broken as though he had something to do with it.

 

The idea runs right through many aspects of life - when something works out - its due to our skill, when it does not we broke the good streak somehow, plus....the idea that while we create our own luck (which we do) this has nothing to do with that sort of luck.....there is no skill or opportunity in flipping a coin. Creating our own luck is entirely different

 

(no judgments on any comments- just something to think about as many think they control such things.)

 

Anyways - as part of the system ;) - I think we can call these types of days the 'Bags days' and somehow come up with some excuse to minimise the loss, move to break even and realise that after three up days comibned with a lunar cycle when HHHT occurs we should halve our position size.... :)

 

there has to be value in stupidity - the Jackass guys made a living out of it!

Apologies - my reply was totally sarcastic - I was actually agreeing with your post.

 

I was taking the piss out of Patuca's hipster doofus language and "bad vibes" bullshit - not you!

 

Of course the thread is just for fun, and I'm sorry the joke wasn't clear in writing :)

Interesting observation. It always feels better to win than to lose... dumb luck, or not. We all love winning streaks, even if there is no skill involved. Flip a coin 100 times, and the odds are very good that there will be a series of flips that come up heads each time... five, six, seven times in a row. There is some fascination with the event, and the longer the streak continues the more you hope for the next flip to be heads.

 

I was sorry to see the streak end, and sorry that it happened on my toss, because winning is more fun than losing. Agreed?

well he did flip the coin...maybe he had too much magnetism in his fingers...maybe he didn't flip it high enough? too high? no twist of the wrist in the flip? it was definetely in his hands...he blew it and he knew it...."oh shoot"

 

Actually....what made the coin land the way it did? was it predestined to such an end? Coincidence?....skill? ....laws of gravity and mass?....could WD have predicted it?

As far as I know... I have no magnetism in my fingers (honestly). LOL... my mojo is working. It is true that a coin flip is not random... few things in the physical world are. Unless you are a professional coin flipper... it pretty much qualifies as random though.

 

Would you be a professional coin flipper? Sounds like you've considered it to some detail.

    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
