Candle, Your mind state is undoubtedly the main ingredient in this game... It was only until I was able to shatter certain illusions manifested by our normal state of consciousness that I was able to lose myself and see this game for what it truly is...It seems you have transcended the same ones... Congratulations on your success this year and I wish you all the best in 2002! PEACE and good trading, Commisso

A failure to relate to what you have written is why so many traders have failed and will fail. I couldn't put it much better than how you have put it.
candle, i really could use a friend. i am sitting here all alone with a half empty bottle of CUERVO and pain in my heart. i have no one to talk to you. b-e m-y f-r-i-e-n-d. pleeeease! dont shun me.
your posts sum the game up to great degree,IMO, love the simplicity, too - kind of simplicity one comes to through hard time of fighting and finding oneself. No wonder your result is great Happy New Year guys! Vadym
Vadym, Thank you. As you know, I have the greatest of respect for your way of looking at things... indeed your realitytrader.com website's motto: "trade what you see, not what you think", encapsulates the essence of proper trading activity... when this essence is applied with the correct psychological approach, it will improve ANY trader's performance, be he a beginning trader or an experienced trader.

candle thank gawd u replied. i couldn't believe you were that cold hearted. u have redeemed yourself in my eyes. u r really a nice guy aren't u? i believe so. u r intelligent 2. that much is obvious. u must also realize that schizophrenia, madness and genius r closely related...and likely NECESSARY for true creativety. 4 true genius add a little madness. don't u agree?
candle, u no what is an illusion??? LIFE! life is an illusion, almost a cruel joke. we learn, we feel, we think, we mourn, we love, we believe...and 4 what?? we r here but 4 a brief second then poof...gOne 4 ever. nothing left. no consciousness, no sentience, NOTHING! GONE! never to be seen or heard from again. the universe is so unfeeling, so colddd. nothing matters. we shall all B gone soon enuf. i am not a religous man, i have no belief in afterlife, you C, i am a man of reason. A man of science. Not a foolish dreamer of gawds and ghosts. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! another shot......... thank gawd 4 tequila....
