    I buy an escort (use as a hot wing girl) , take her to a club, and trade her off for a cuttie who doesn't have std's.

    :D

  2. Most people will be happy after a winning trade. There are some people who actually LIKE losing money (gamblers in a way)

    What's important is how you deal with losing trades and winning traders. If you realize that its just ONE trade in a series of many others then each trade should just be "a trade" and nothing more.

    Ha ha! I've never hooted or holla'd but I feel darn good when I make the tough, but right decision-- for PROFIT or LOSS. As long as emotions aren't tied to P/L I think you're fine.

  4. How can you post this in less than 60 seconds, after the thread is started?

  5. When I am alone, it is emotionless other than a smile or frown, but when I'm at the office on the trade desk, we (as in all the traders at my shop), do the Howard Dean scream as our celbration for a big hit.

    It's the part at the 19-second mark!

  8. I usually snort a huge line of coke after a nice trade

    As well as after a bad trade

  10. Shouldn't you progressively increase your size (as you have more money to throw around), so that your wins are getting bigger and bigger, thus making bigger "touchdowns" (which is cause for celebration)?

    Or are you happy just trading 1 lot for the rest of your life?
