No, never needed professional psychologists. I studied myself the psychology of the human brain, the behavior of humans in trading. I am an adept of behavioral finance. I was already trading many years before I meet my GF. She uses me now as a study case. She is not interested in trading, but got fascinated in the psychological side of my approach. So we have fun together: I trade and she analyzes my behavior and the way I use psychology in making my decisions. She's an intellectual challenge for me, and I'm the same for her.
You're obviously not the guy in the other thread complaining about erectile difficulties. Even a 95 year old should rise to the attention of a 28 year old.
Ok, here is the exercise that i do to keep the erectile issue at bay. There are 2 parts to it, one of the exercise involve the PC muscle is something you should do every day to keep the muscle that in charge of keeping your member erect strong and can perform regardless of your state of mind. First part: Locate the PC muscle : to locate and feel this, when you go urinating, as urine flow out, stop it. When you stop the urine flow, this is when you are flexing this PC muscle , so locate and feel it after 2-3 times. Your PC muscle will get strong after few weeks, and you will feel strong stamina and maintaining it. After locating and feel it, Flex it 20 times quick, hold - let go, hold - let go. Once you getting the hold of this, then push a bit further: flex while holding 5 second before let go , 10-20 times like that. Practice this when you sit down, driving, etc as many set as you want. Once you keep exercising this PC muscle everyday, you don't have to worry about erectile issue ever whether you are a trader, or just someone who has medical condition that affect you. I will write more about part 2 a bit later.
Are you sure only trading is causing you stress and there aren't other added factors from your every day life?
@mlawson71, it could be, but regardless of how stress and other factor adding up, i am lucky enough to have learned this technique to keep this issue at bay, otherwise it will be a big issue for me personally now and down the road(it can be Serious enough that either the wives or girlfriends of husband or boyfriend who suffer ED will either leave you or cheat on you as i read aplenty from internet). I do not want this embarrassing issue to happen to me permanently now or when i get older because i trade, nor i want it to happen to any fellow trader, so i feel strong enough to write this thread. Again With this thread, i want to spread the word about this technique to make sure fellow trader who dealing with ongoing accumulated stress daily in trading not having to suffer from this issue as they get older. From my own experience of ED, where there were time before that i can't get an erection or can't maintain it, i am now charged up with good stamina on daily basis after practicing this technique frequently. So i know it is an effective natural cure to this without having to resort any artificial medicine to fixing it , so very lucky to have knowing it. Part 2 of this technique is to help enlarge your member membrane that hold blood when erected, that ultimately increase in length, width and just looking more macho that work well with part 1. Part 1 is like getting a good strong pump to pump blood to get erection and maintain when the natural gravity blood pump don't work due to stress, part 2 is to have a bigger longer thicker more solid holder. I will get to this part 2 soon enough. After practice part 1 and 2 frequent enough weekly, your sex performance will be in good shape or even off the roof and you will kiss the ED issue good bye once for all while dealing with the associated stress in trading environment. I will also write another thread about a breathing technique that i practice everyday to keep back pain and headache/migraine at bay . I used to trade around 12-14 hours a day, but don't get back pain - headache, so i know this technique is very effective. it will also help keep your brain sharp on daily basis. Before knowing this technique (the past 8 years or so), i do get heavy headed, headache frequently and it seem to disappear after i practice it the past 8-9 years(take about 5-7 minutes of your time daily), and i have been in trading around 16 years. Basically, as a trader i prepare myself to deal with the physical side effect of sitting long hour while dealing with trading stress , and i am passing on these knowledge to equip trader to deal with these issue that may not appear yet, but will arise as you get older.
@Baron At what point did this site regress from a trading site to one which promotes masturbation techniques? I am aware of the ignore button and will employ it, but seriously this is an embarrassment...
Maybe for many "traders" on ET this information might be more useful then the"expert" advices on trading? Next logical step is posting about "performance" and bashers who will say it is impossible. I'm not speaking about trading performance... Erectile dysfunction is mentioned in the header of the thread, so we are still on topic!
