Oh yes I see now! I have also noticed that there are a lot of motivational quotes that come from flying school yet have a rather amazing similarity to trading.
If I'd known all I needed to do was learn to fly to be able to trade I would have started years ago!
Hey Guys - whatever you think about HoCo, he does have a point about Flight School. The qualities required to be a successful combat aviator (military scenario) - especially the psychological, are very applicable in trading.
Every mission (trade) has to be planned and executed in accordance with known routines that work; you must know your hardware & software and their limits, thoroughly; the game-plan may be amended, aborted or raised as the mission (trade) progresses or deteriorates; a cool head under pressure is required and the ability to recognise, quantify and act upon (or not) conflicting info, signals and events is a must. The post mission (trade) debrief is critical to future survival in the combat (trading) zone. Over confidence is a killer of aviators and trading accounts whilst timidty wins no wars & makes no profits. Getting the balance right ain't easy!
Sure, you don't need quite the same amount of manual dexterity for trading (just be ok mouse & kbd) but you'll certainly need your wits about you. It would also seem that a partiality for drink is fairly common - no problem for the average trader I expect. So I reckon quite a few successful traders could be latent aviators!
While the anti-gravitic lawn-mower may have seemed like a good idea at the time, it doesn't actually cut the fuggin grass.I think this is a photo of HoCo from a couple years ago:

there is famous "OODA" thing dun by fighter pilot thats quite good if u can find it. also things like visualisation and preparation and getting to stage where no wat 2 do without thinking just almost muscle memory.
They just seamed to have an ability to cut through the noise and focus on whats important. I dont know if thats just a natural ability of if the technnique can be learnt, or even if it that sort of skill would be of any use, but I supect it would.
