You obviously have to refine your S/R exit strategy then if you are constantly second-guessing it. It sounds like you are trying to play an S/R entry strategy simultaneously rather than concentrating on the exit strategy. You probably just have to clarify exactly what you are trying to do.

Hi Travis, there is only one area that I would criticise you for in this new challenge you are taking on - you are clearly correct that you shouldn't become emotional about each trade. However, have you considered why it is that you get emotional at each trade? Instead of trying to fight that...

Training oneself in emotional control is for many people, myself included, extremely difficult. For some it's impossible. For a very few, it is perhaps easy.

re repeating our mistakes That is almost a soliloquy from a play. From my understanding of the mind, when we make a mistake, we look back at it and seek an explanation that will help us to avoid it in the future. It's quite easy when it's something compartmentalised, e.g. stepping in front...

It would be interesting to know what the problem is that you have with thinking about death. Does it induce metabolic symptoms of fear, e.g. higher pulse, sweating, nausea? It would also be interesting to know whether you have ever faced your own death and what effect that had, i.e. if you were...

I think the fundamental issue about death that plays havoc with the human mind is that death is the ultimate loss, and humans are very loss-averse. Apparently according to Kahnemann and Tversky, we weight a loss psychologically twice as heavily as a gain. That's just what we are, and is...

Hi Travis hope the fever hasn't got any worse. Not the best way to spend Christmas. Anyway I was just surprised you quoted the Bild. It's the cheapest tabloid 'boulevard press' newspaper in Germany, practically. Maybe thats a reason to use it, I don't know - but you can get the same thing from...

The thing that makes conspiracy theories conspiracy theories is that there is actually is no way of proving it. You think the media won't grab a story if they can make it stand up in court? There was nothing Nixon for example could do once the media knew they had him. With most conspiracy...

The wikipedia editors themselves are a bunch of fascists, ruling over their domain with the power of censure. I've had experiences with them on an article I wrote and they must be treated with kid gloves or they **** on you. I just realised that you have mentioned Ernie Chan in your tag line...

Have you watched Untergang yet? Originalsprache, natürlich.

Good luck with the German. Must be very interesting. I speak German but have never listened to any of his speeches since I figured they would all be about the need to send a whole load of "Juden" to the Gaskammer.

Interactive Brokers I got that "communique" as well. What I want to know is what the bit about new commissions means: New tier (for over USD 5,000,000,000): 0.08 basis point 1 * Trade Value 2 with minimum of USD 1.00 or equivalent Surely they are not...

Hi Mr Bickle, I once asked my bank if they would change the name on my current account to Tharg the Almighty, but they said the same thing. Facebook is only concerned with the value of their membership list which is correlated to the number of accounts which are considered to be real people...

Actually I am not sure that you will see what I mean when you watch the film Rush. Niki Lauda's personality trait that might benefit you is his apparent complete disregard for what people might think of him in reaction to what he says. He is extremely blunt. In relation to your post about...

Travis, you should develop personality traits like Niki Lauda, then you'd have no problem.
