I guess now traders can stop hiding. lol. So the coach was right all along : - what are the facts facts facts - what ? who? when ? why ? how? - sort out this problem before anything else
I am glad I got a new place here. Funny how the deranged people even sent, at my former place sent, their look alike - corrupt solicitor-look like sent , pals look alike sent... And I am glad I followed the coach advice : "discussions only after biometric passport control near a Police". I can really say I have been extremely lucky to have come across this coach. . I hope all the methods used in this campain of harassment/defamation/slandering will be explained. The coach really would love to have the list of these and how did they manage to find so many look-alike, taking them from many countries ( Russian student for fair hair look alike, Hungarian artist for guitarist look-alike, and many more look-alike, including one for the corrupt solicitor look-alike, ...). Now the complaint that it was difficult to find French people as they asked too many questions and are too honest makes sense. I can imagine a French person would ask : "ha yeah ? who are you? what has the person done ? where are the proofs? why not use a lawyer or the Police? can I see your professional card and have a copy of it ? I also need your boss contacts. Let me check first your ID, and I will phone you back before to get started.And I also need to tell my parents about that". Not a good attitude for corruption.
The funny thing is in all of this, I simply could not help thinking of how to improve my trading. As I do not trust the brokers, I have to have a different machine for analysis, and a different one for entering the trades. Otherwise, I'd just need one small computer.
What this experience has developed is an ability for self-monitoring, and self-control I did not have : - can see when I have a lot of anxiety : very good for trading, as I now automatically just shut down all trades and all trading. - can listen better to my intuition : may be that is why I only need the prices now. .
Also, whenever I feel something wrong, I automatically - on the coach advice - get help. I am also noticing that just formulating the problem is half of the solution. Now my next effort is changing my mindset so that I always feel happy when making money and do not feel like giving it back.
Now, looking to the psychology of "wanting to lose money" huh huh . But apparently people get into money-based "games" or to make money, but more often than not, to lose money! And what better place to lose money than the market... interesting... http://www.nytimes.com/2004/08/08/business/openers-refresh-button-the-gambler-breaking-even.html OPENERS: REFRESH BUTTON; The Gambler, Breaking Even Nicholas W. Leeson is asking people to risk their capital with him. Actually, against him. Only the brave need ante up. Mr. Leeson, the rogue trader who brought down Barings Bank in 1995 by illicitly betting -- and losing -- nearly a billion dollars of its money on Japanese stock futures, is now working for an Internet gambling site. At the site, CelebPoker.com, he joins several celebrities (including the English soccer star Kenny Miller and the American actor Lou Diamond Phillips) who are offered as competition for online poker players. Now 37, Mr. Leeson lives in Galway, Ireland, with his second wife, Leona Tormay, and her two children; they are expecting a child in August. His first wife, Lisa Leeson, divorced him as he was serving four years in prison for his role in the Barings collapse and recovering from colon cancer. His reputation as a loser , at least in stock trading, may lure some Internet poker players; that line of reasoning is actually being encouraged by CelebPoker.com, which notes that Mr. Leeson is, by his own admission, ''not the most successful'' of gamblers. The invitation even inflates the amount he is reputed to have lost in one day to $100 million. It adds: ''Seems like an easy touch. Or is he?''
Gosh, these money-games promoters really know human psychology: Nick Leesonâs lack of luck being used as promotional tool http://www.onlinecasinonews.com/ocnv2_1/article/article.asp?id=6075 Nick Leeson and CelebPoker.com are now using the convicted fraudsterâs reputation as a failure to promote the website. Both parties are now capitalising on his failed attempt at gambling 1 billion dollars of Baring Bankâs money on Japanese stock futures to encourage online poker players to test their skills against him. Leeson is now a permanent fixture at CelebPoker, being one of the celebrities offered as an opponent to those who visit the site. In a twist of advertising, his weaknesses are the qualities being utilised for promotion. While many tournaments and online poker sites entice players by emphasising the opportunities they offer newcomers to play amongst the worldâs best, CelebPoker is trying this different tact to convince players at all levels to try and beat the man who has not always shown the best judgement in his life. The site is touting his vulnerability as a kind of dare to its non-famous players. The site asserts that Leeson is ânot the most successfulâ of gamblers, and puts the phrase âSeems like an easy touch. Or is he?â against the figures of his losses faced whilst still in banking. Leeson himself has joined in the light hearted campaign, by adding that âhe still canât kick this habit of wanting to lose moneyâ. CelebPoker has a policy of signing up celebrities to join the site and play against keen online gamblers, as a way of differentiating themselves in a very competitive market. The players are also able to chat with each other, including the celebrities, during the course of the game. Leeson is also featured on the site in a column section, where he recalls his gambling experiences.
It is just occuring to me that one Leeson table, there must be a lot of traders . hahaha. May be I should go and have a round there. lol.
