Jack Schwager asked Ed Seykota, Don't all traders want to win? from "Market Wizards" by Jack Schwager
Gordon, you're pissed but obviously you're not pissed enough, if you still have your sense of humor and can write a poem about it. The day you'll...
Yes, Corallus, it sounds like you're even better at waiting for the right opportunity than me. You made me see how we have all the time in the...
As usual I could not read all the interesting messages on this very interesting thread, like all Psychology threads are. By the way, this is by...
Thank you all for replying. I just learned that I was wrong to say "craving for money", since "to crave" is a transitive verb, and it should be...
You don't become profitable by "being right" all the time, but through risk control. "Risk control" means picking only the high probability...

Tony - I want what's coming to me Manny - What's coming to you, man? Tony - The world, chico, and everything in it
By the effort and intelligence you put into your post, a post that judges me without even saying anything argumentative, without exposing...
I don't think that we can separate self-esteem from what other people think of us. We're surrounded by people and we are influenced in some way...
This confirms to me what I have always thought. That many of us didn't start trading because we are interested in buying an expensive car or...
I agree, and I'll add that it's impossible to pick the "high probability trade", and discard the other trades (which are still probable, but not...
Corso, I agree with everything you said. I don't know yet what others have written about it, but I agree with you. The real problem, though, is...
