    How has the pursuit of trading impacted your life for better and worse? How has it changed you as a person? How has it changed your outlook on life? How has it affected your relationships?
    Let's discuss since it is the weekend:)
     
  2. I'm pretty sure for most people/traders, generally speaking, it has adversely affected their life, o_O

    Money makes you dark, to say the least,

    You, and the world, and your family/friends...would all be better off...if you were a school teacher, or ran a pet shelter -- or something along those innocent, simple, pure lines,

    The money is good...if you are one of the ultra rare less than 1% of traders who are truly profitable,
    But you have a relatively empty feeling, when it's all said and done -- you buy alligator shoes, or a Rolex...but so what, doesn't feel that rewarding,

    All we are are just basically Vegas gamblers...we come and enter the casino, sit down at a table...and play,
    That's essentially the office of a trader -- How many people can say that about themselves with a certain degree of proud, high esteem...

    I learned how to cure my dandruff and train my dog.



    Seriously though, it has not changed MY outlook on life. In fact, it has given me a new sense of freedom I never had before. Granted, I do not have familial underpinnings that must be adhered to, such as kids or spouses. I am lucky that way. Adversely? Nah. The only thing adverse is the sick sense of deja vu' I am experiencing at this moment. WTF.

    Learnt to hunt like our ancestors. Stalking prey until the precise time for the pounce. Being rewarded with meat or with wounds.

    It has to do with killing and eating meat. Are you dissing cattle futures? Fucker, I really want to like those instruments. ROFL, sorry, in silly mode.
