Then you should know by now how important it is to calculate the odds (ie. probability) when you're playing poker, just as it is in trading. So why you talking like a fresh noob? In case you don't know what I mean... How to Calculate Poker Odds https://www.mpl.live/blog/calculate-poker-odds/
I'm convinced @Scataphagos is an A.I. bot deliberately programmed to be stupid as possible. The Turing test is easier to pass when the chat bot appears to be an idiot.
I'm not convinced. He's too predictable. Very good chance he's a chat bot. Look at my post here: I predicted, in real-time, that @Scataphagos would block the user. And... it actually happened with time left for me to edit my post and add the last line that says: "AHAHAHAHAH, see... too funny!". Look one post up from there for the context. Just trying to call balls and strikes here; no offense. Bet you $50 I can sign in with a new account and get him to block me inside of 1 week. Admins can't change his program though! Not to mention, why would the account be named for a human dung eater... besides as a tongue in cheek joke by the bot author/admin? It just doesn't add up.
I know. It wasn't meant as an insult. Just surprised that he couldn't connect the dots between poker and trading.
Exactly! That's the type of connection a bot would just plain old miss... but a human would probably understand, maybe not agree with completely, but understand, almost instantly.
What is your win rate? Your win rate is correlated with normal losing streak that you will experience. This is good article. If you are aware what is normal losing streak for your system but experience the tilting, there are only two possible things that may cause that. Large position size per trade. Desire to be right (win) If the cause is #2, it will require time to shift your mentality especially if the system has low win rate (and large reward-to-risk ratio). Trading mentality contradicts other professions mentality which is being right.
yeah, ego is always there until you really need it. Then it mysteriously disappears. Not a best friend. Especially in trading
