The day to day psychology of a trader

Discussion in 'Psychology' started by smallStops, Feb 19, 2015.

  1. Now, I am revising the trading plan for 2017, that I did 2 years ago.
    As I'll be betting big on market movements coming from elections results, I might as well keep an eye on updating my plan.

    * These will have to be confirmed with the coming December election.

    The expected results are :
    * PS decimated
    * the FN ( extreme right ring party) to win massively in december.
    All the more that the likes of Dieudonné, Soral, and Philippot are allowing
    unlikely FN-voters to vote FN.
    The only factor that could change this would be the
    creation of a new "moderate" right or center party. Some are actually hinting this.
    Or if the "Republican" manage to get rid of their actual leader, and put in
    a very popular candidate, but this is unlikely as Sarkozy felt real humiliation when
    he lost and will do anything to be the candidate.

    * I first assumed that such big win, will mean a massive short for the CAC40.
    I have completely changed my mind on this :
    No crash. I am now looking for the companies more likely to get a big gap up:
    those with mostly national shareholders.

    At least getting something out of this drama.

  2. To be honest, it's really hard to stop our emotions but there's a way to control it and even to make it stable. Just like what you've said, we should take a break for a moment from trading and distract yourself with something calms you...

  3. I don't think if one can really stop the emotions.
    What I have found, is to remove the type of emotions one does not want - the negative one being usually rooted into mental impureties . So as to keep the good one.
    Thus it becomes a work of "purification", and makes things easier.
    For exemple: impatience. Finding out the root ( for some due to arrogance/pride/self-agrandissement leading to over-confidence) makes it easier then to reduce the negative emotions and associated behaviors by working on rooting out the emotions of arrogance, pride, self-agrrandissment
    and transforming these into emotions of "pity for the 'lesser on'", compassion for 'the idiots and imbeciles', self-aggrandissement turned into "gratefulness to
    God for his grace, and recognition that all praises are due to God himself,
    as without his grace, one could not really trade well ( from finding a good approach, to having the right mindset,...)'. So, thanks to trading, I am very
    much optimistic about human potential: there is actually no limits if one
    uses psychology and spirituality well. But then, one needs to understand these.


    On this, as one would guess, there is a kind of "open debate"
    about "people who are really annoying the others".
    And suprise, surprise, surprise this one is gathering momentum :D:D:D
    ( though his family is receiving death threats :eek:)

    In summary, he is saying to a
    "Specific type of Thugs" please do behave and stop annoying decent people.
    :):):)
    Of course, in all these last "humourous things", the RSA always comes in!!!!LOL

  4. It's a shame this video has been removed! :( :( :(


    Due to the Paris attacks, some people started to express explicitely very hostile words and statements against people from the Middle-East and NA countries. This video actually was effective to lessen these extremely hostile anti-"arab" feelings.
    Just a shame really. There is a positive effect in not sweeping things under the carpet,
    instead of facing the problem, discussing it, and finding win-win solutions. I assume ,
    cultures and habits!!!
    New link:


    :) :) :) In trading : when one does not do "self-honesty", there is no way of getting to the root of the problem and solve it.

  5. Well well well : the thing about trading is one has to keep updated about things around, so
    as to grab once in a while interesting "trading theme". Now, is there a way to trade
    mass immigration o_O o_O o_O
    Because even the immigrants themselves are complaining ( need to check if this is really
    an immigrant complaining, or a poser/fake person impersonating)



    and better view of how smartly they are dressed running away from a country in war.


    How can we trade this? :) :) :) :D :D :D Yes : trade this.

  6. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D very relevant to trading : the pleasure of pain.
    The pleasure of being humiliated, kicked and beatten squarre.

    May be one reason traders deep down love trading: because it brings them the pleasure
    of being humiliated, kicked and beatten when they lose.

    So we'll be exploring : why some people enjoy being humiliated,
    having their dignity and self-respect shred. Obviously when people love that,
    they'll seek it, and return over and over and over again to people that guarrantees
    them a good dose of humiliation, pain, indignity.

    Who'd have guessed :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
    psychology at its finest. :D:D:D

    So what are the feelings when a trader loses ?
    pain sure
    when the trader loses big
    super pain
    when a trade goes against a trader?
    a kick, a beatting, and a sense of humiliation.

    Why SOME traders continue or repeat the same mistake:
    to feel again this suave pain, this refreshing kick, and this sought after humiliation:)
    in the same vein, he continues to regularly seek for his dose of
    humiliation, pain , insults!!!! And unwittingly, she gives exactly this, hoping
    he'd move on !!!!
    Damn!!! human beings are really simple to understand really.

  7. YAWN!!!! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
    An another "staged interview" , via Ms or Mr "pas de souci". YAWN!!!!
    Luckily, I had brought in a young lad during the dinner, and made it clear, in a decent way,
    to their "hired mouth" that I had ZERO romantic interests in its person. Had to be
    "creative" as the goal is to keep contact with their "hired mouth" and bring this
    "hired mouth" to the Jesuits priests as he is a face copy of



    And the priest will know how to get the whole truth out of him.

    Then the "staged" setting during the cinema queue was a classic.

    So let me confirm here:
    * Lumbini
    * Only contact via "security service company"
    * Of course, dhamma.org is a sinequa non : no mental impureties, thank you.
    :):):)

  8. It is all about minimizing stress for my trading. :)

  9. My goal regarding these people is :
    to bring each single one of them to bow to God:
    that they start worshipping the Creator, and not the creature.
    that they confess to these excellent Jesuits priests
    ALL and every single one of their sins.
    It would break my heart if they were to Land in Hell, when
    they have - thanks to me- the chance to see the light, and
    knee to God and confess all their sins.
    I feel it is my duty to prevent them from having this great misfortune
    of not having the chance to reform early.

    One person at a time. ;););)

    God here is the One who created the Sky and the Earth,
    the one who existed BEFORE any person was born, and will
    exist after every person will be no longer.

    Sure, this change of perspective, has totally removed a lot of stress
    related the manifestations of these individual's mental impureties.

  10. :):):):) So you too want to contribute in "elevating" these damned people into
    bowing to God?

    First things first : get a read of this book, one two three times at least to grasp
    well what goes into the minds of a sinner. Strangely the same dynamics seem to apply
    for the trader's minds!!!!
    [​IMG]

    The key when reading it is to analyse
    - the thought process involved
    - contrast it with the benefits expected/sought

    This will allow then to understand how the sinner's mind works
    ( how it developed wrong thinking patterns, to how
    it justifies sticking to destructive thinking patterns).
