MINDFULNESS

True. But clearly ET is not the place for this discussion as only one non-troll is interested in it.

 

because after you take that hit of acid and smoke some pot, you understand how the whole deal works, and this time we are alive and well in this very slow moving plane is just temporary, so nothing is any big deal, including your PnL.

it gets better when you are old and out of debt and the government sends you money each month

I'm pretty sure ego and sex are one in the same

my ego and my need for art and music was very strong when my sex drive was strong, now the drive is about gone and so is my ego, and so are my emotions

it wouldn't hurt to spend a quiet night at the cemetery and contemplate how and who always ends up there

 

Just wondering if anyone here has read through Gary Dayton's new book : Trade Mindfully.

Apologies if it's already been mentioned...

I'm reading through it at present. Though I've been into all that pinko - hippy - greeny - mindfulness stuff for years... So its preaching to the choir with me....

And.... here come the trolls

 

Given that it's Gary Dayton, I'd tread lightly.

43 bucks?

 

More for the psychology stuff. Don't like him much?

But there's nothing new about any of this. If one want to "trade price" and can't turn his attention toward price as opposed to HIS trade and HIS entry and HIS exit and HIS stop and HIS profit and HIS loss, then he isn't going to be very successful with trading price. Or perhaps any other form of trading.

The stock market doesn't beat around the bush. It doesn't give A's for effort. It doesn't say, "Everbody is special, just in their own way". The stock market offers direct, quantitative confirmation of exactly how much of a loser you are.

And he has. Though in Gringo's case it may be more The Ninth Gate.

 

True, but each person carries their own baggage into trading as with any other pursuit / career etc. Would you agree?

The need to detach ones ego is not limited to the trading arena, but just look at these forums - each struggle to profitability or ruin is different.

I remember @fortydraws saying a while ago he never had issues with fear etc. Contrast that with KP who can't keep a trade open or any multitude of others in the same boat...

Any tool that helps a trader imo is valid. Just my $0.02
