  1. Not what you said prior. Reveal those specific requirements to get to the first stage, not the college.

  3. That's the exact minimal description as seen on any one of several Oxford web sites. It's a bit more complicated then that. Nice try.

    Freedom,

    Perhaps in an abstract sense, graduate schooling instill discipline of the academic variety. But, I think in trading, we are talking of a DIFFERENT kind of discipline. It's called EMOTIONAL DISCIPLINE.

    Emotional discipline is way way harder to master than any normal skills. Because it's the very bases of human follies and errors. To truly master the frailities of humans is to almost change yourself at a fundamental level and almost non-human detachment.

    That's why it's so hard to do even though a lot of peopel understand trading intellectually. At least, that's what I found...

  7. I see. So let's say that emotional discipline is way up on the discipline ladder (just before the overall discipline required for trading).

    I think trading is the perfect job: it makes you master of your life (not only your physical life but virtually every aspect of your life including the soul.....for successful traders must be gods, in some sense...in the same way a god might have control over the universe he created, so too must the successful trader have control over every single aspect of his own being). I understand what it means to be a trader and what it takes to be successful. It is interesting how it is not the use of a particular system that makes a trader successful but rather his/her ability to control every aspect of his/her being. You master your soul, and you will be a magnificent trader, bottom line

    Thanks

    Successfull traders more closely resemble pickpockets than gods, they move into the crowd take what they see is easily available and get the hell out of there.
