    I remember reading a book like 20 years ago. I only read like half a page but it said that the only thing you needed to do to make a winning trade was feel confident at that time you executed the trade. Nothing else matters. Sounds like law of attraction or blind faith but it was a memorable one liner.

    "Trading beyond the matrix" Van Tharpe. I don't think books help traders that much, it is like trying to learn to ride a bike by reading about it. Your psychology doesn't change by reading about it.

    Nah, I don't think it was that book since it was published in 2013 while the book I read was over 15 years. Perhaps, they might share the same concepts but I will pass on reading. Too much psychology can be a pain in the ass.

    If a book has a practical advice that a trader can then try to apply in real life they could help, perhaps.

  7. He sold trading courses for $60,000 a course , yet like all vendors in the trading gold rush , none of the traders made any money , maybe they could be chasing for refunds .

    After all snake oil does not work , when vendors don't know enough themselves and don't have winning trading formula and rely on unproven snake oil psychology and non trading income from traders

  8. All psychology books are incomplete and cover 10 % of the subject , therefore useless and trading psychologists are offering snake oil solutions including top trading psychologists , only solution is to change dna and genes of traders , if struggling ,really no solution or keep enjoying snake oil education.

  9. Speculators were losers in the gold rush , only people to make money peolpe selling stuff to miners, at from fifteen to twenty dollars foreach individual. Spades, shovels, picks, wooden bowls, Indian baskets (for washing), etc.

    In the trading gold rush , only people to make money are forum owners , course sellers (failed traders) , education sellers (failed traders ), brokers , ea sellers , indicator sellers , software sellers , signal sellers (trading failures) , authors (failed traders write books ), forex site owners ,system sellers and rebate merchants

    MY LAST POST ON FORUMS where losers hang around with manipulated content .I will remain a member on ET and hound you BARON AND YOUR ARSE KISSERS

  10. MANIPULATE CONTENT , BAN MEMBERS like a two bit arse kisser who loses his drawers faster than a whore .

    you are insulting these members ha ha ha

    they are clue less and don't know the difference between a marketing site relying on vendor sponsorship and a trader's non manipulated forum where traders speak freely
