    Have you found any correlations, positive or negative, to link coke intake to trading profits?

    ------------------------------

    Conventional, traditional jobs include certain responsibilites and limited amounts of control of the task. Trading is lack of control of aspects surronding the "job", success on the job is self-control. Big difference.

    Entreprenurial people want to do it thier way, assume all control for the outcome and benefit from the risks with the rewards. This psyche may find itself at odds with success in the market, where you aren't able to control anything except how you react, anticipate.

  9. Simple linear regression results:
    Dependent Variable: Trading Profits
    Independent Variable: Coke Intake
    Profits = -0.18165882 + 0.0053070425 Lines
    Sample size: 50
    R (correlation coefficient) = 0.9581
    R-sq = 0.91790235
    Estimate of error standard deviation: 11.585244

    The correlation coefficient, R, has a value of .9581. At this value, we have overwhelming evidence to conclude that there is a strong positive linear relationship between cocaine intake and trading profits.
