it was an entertaining movie. Just nothing to to do with trading is all. Also the statement that you only use 10-20% of your brain is a myth. According to the neuroscientists anyway.
Well, kind of, yes and no. http://scienceray.com/biology/human-biology/how-much-brain-do-we-use/ I once so an X-ray of a perfectly mentally normal person, whose brainsize was like a nut. So if he was able to live a normal life with that much, just imagine the possibilities if/when we learn to use our brains up to full capacity... Well, you saw the movie... Edit: I have found it:
I saw multiple references that we use our brain in the range of 3-8% of it capacity. Those who use it around 8% are what we refer to as geniuses.
So I wonder where it puts this kid with 170 IQ on the news recently. http://www.parentdish.com/2011/03/30/aspergers-syndrome/
gf: honey i have this pill for you to improve your performance... me: are you kidding?! i just killed it today in ES. i recognized a trend day, pyramided my position while keeping a tight trailing stop and - gf: i'm talking about your "other" performance... me: oh... here's a joke for you guys... trader (to gf): honey pack your bags i just made a fortune in the market. gf: really?!!! should i pack for summer or winter? trader: i don't care just get the hell out!
Not a bad movie, I kinda liked it. Not sure why he borrowed 100k from russian dude, and then only used 12k at trading firm.
