  2. Hi,

    Plenty of thanks for the suggestion.
    It might be difficult to program everything the way I trade, but I will be investigating how much I can automate.

    My best way of keeping me calm while trading ( so far so good), is doing stuff not trading related: someone hinted about the good brought by "professional humiliator" ( I guess new "Roman" interpretation of Jesus the Phariseans/Saducceans and the Romans). Well, I took the time to find out about it, and, indeed in our culture we also do have "professional humiliators" :

    (Peace and Enjoy! English subtitles included

    Why do they censure like that is amazing!!!!).

    A present for the loyals among the loyals ( :D:D:D):
    a very simple trading system ( moving average crossover he:eek::p:D).
    Nan deleting the putting of the method here. My generosity has some limits.

    So the psychology of self-idolatry : what is the best way to remove it totally?

    find a professional humiliator. So that you do not need to use
    the trading screen as a way to humiliate yourself.

    I do not recommend "attracting" one, as you will not be able to get rid of these pros easily!!!! :(:wtf:ops::rolleyes::D
    But yes they have a role. Modern "maitres fouettards" (master floggers.
    Nowadays you need to flog people's egos as physical flogging no longer
    does it). hahahahahaha. That was a good one:
    good luck with your career of "professional humiliator", but please
    keep away from me. Many THANKS in advance.

  4. Very great video indeed !
    This is the huge benefit of trading : sooner or later, most traders pass via the steps "motivational speeches", "www.dhamma.org" ( if one wants to get results quickly in terms of meditational benefits), "LOA", etc... till "don't care" ( aka non-attachement) and strangely "results". All of this not in order. :):):)

    Just now, on TopStepTrader as they have excellent metrics. Some traders, like myself, believe in metrics. No punt intended of course.:)

  6. Interesting that this "professional humiliator" who since going "national" - aka filling
    zeniths of 2000 - 5000 people - has "attracted" around 80 Law suits for 2015, and has a
    kind of mini-law firm as he has 7 full-time lawyers working for him, is
    now going global ( some are talking of stadiums of 60 000people overseas).
    How will the "humiliated" react when humiliated worldwide globally ? :rolleyes::):D

    As a "professional humiliator" : he is attracting crowds happy to pay for cheering at his performance, and, on the other side, we have the "humiliated" willing to pay big bucks and to hire whoever capable ( via any means, inlcuding slandering, defamation, even using Government officers at Ministerial levels) to silence the "professional humiliator". This "professional humiliator" friend and now best friend Alain Soral ( they have formed a club!) even having his own sister coming forward to explain how herself she could not take his "humiliations".
    I can't remember who always suggested people to get into trading, but now,
    may be it was to test how people can take "humiliation" from the trading
    screen! Trading & Ego mirror.


    As trader, what can we learn about "humiliator" and "humiliation" ?
    Is trading a god_sent activity so that people can deal with "ego" issues ( aka humiliation
    issues)?
    Let's check some cases of deep humiliation


    The reactions to humiliation are obvious : humiliation creates a shock, then generates deep need of crying.
    Now, if the crying got released, this can lead to a first step toward sane reactions.
    If the crying can not get released ( "ego" issues), unhealthy reactions got generated ( from anger, to rigidity, etc...)

    Oen question to look at : can you have any feeling of humiliation
    IF you are a humble person, aka someone who is not arrogant, someone
    who is not conceited. Is humiliation all about the pain of having
    one ass kicked, so to speak?
    For some : how hard did the trading screen kicked your ass ?
    kicked your ego? revealed your self-idolatry?

  7. But let us always remember that we need to thank God for having created "humiliation":
    because humiliation can only happen to those who are not humble, right?
    to those who believe that idolatry toward them exist or should exist.
    To those who feel upset when people say to them " not interested in idolatring
    your, nor your values, nor what you represent".

    Humiliation : and we comes again to Idolatry!!!!
    The trading screen can really reveal all the hidden self-idolatry one carries



    The beauty of the market, is : what can you do to the market
    when the trading screen humiliates you properly?

  8. I am watching over and over various videos on this humiliating defeat of 7-1 at a world cup :
    man !!!!! where everyone in the world , even those not interested in football would know about it!!!! To add salt to the injury of humiliation, this also
    took place in their own country national stadium.


    Watching these goals: damn!!! what an humiliation!


    So the humiliated were in shock, some cried, some got extremely angry, some acted on their anger. Without understanding what it was all about : Idolatry being revealed.

    The public overseas were delighted, cheering the Germans, commenting on the "humiliated team" arrogance, sense of entitlement, awful previous behavior. And some even felt, it was "God sent".

    To idolatry, comes humiliation : so you were upset to feel a deep sense of humiliation?
    ever wondered if that was God ( the real one, aka the Creator of all things - including your ridiculous idol who would love to take God's place), who was reminding you, you were just a
    creature, not to be idolatred? Reflect well. You are getting some deep spirituality here. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

  9. Humiliation study , as it is relevant to trading psychology ( traders being humiliated by the trading screen, even when just one on one with a screen).



    For the "humiliated"

    - nobody thought that this is how it would end
    - nobody saw it coming
    - any expectations of winning eliminated
    - sort of entitlement/complecency

    - shock
    - heads dropped
    - mouth opened wide
    - silence
    - crying
    - sadness

    - Proud / Pride ( in football)
    - Very Embarrassing
    - Complete humiliation

    - take a long time to get over what happened

  10. It seems to me that real humiliation is kind of "God sent".

    I have been checking various videos of people wanting to humiliate others,
    and for some reasons, it seem to never turn that way.
    But when the humiliation seems to be coming in a certain,
    God works in mysterious ways, the humiliation is indeed total and complete.
    Here : at what worst even could such humiliation occur?
    world cup!!!! and with how many goals ???? SEVEN ( I am not even
    doing any numerology here) !!!!!
