    I don’t mind reading about one’s winners or losers – as it is the business we’re in – and each holds something valuable we can learn from

    And for the record Professional Traders don’t mind losing – as long as it never exceeds plan.


    But gloating – I find serves no purpose Sir – and I promise the mkt will provide you a big serving of comeupins one of these days…. Bon appétit


    Btw – I’ve found comeupins to be a bit more palatable when accompanied with humble pie


    Regards Sir

    It should feel very comfortable otherwise you might pick the wrong horse to mount

    When I lose I feel the same as if I win. I make it my business to fell this way as I know that any other way will just result in me feeling bad which will in turn make me feel worse and then I will make mistakes and just keep losing.

    When I win I take the money and put it in the bank and get ready for the next bout

    SicktraderII,

    Easiest way to answer this question, just ask one of your other aliases. The beauty of it is that you don't need to leave the room, or even speak the question out loud. :D

  8. I said: "This is an old photo taken before devoting my life to meditation and white rice."

    This is 100% the truth.

    Let's do some analysis:

    "This is an old photo taken..." (By someone else of someone else doing a halo jump, not of me).

    "... before devoting my life to meditation and white rice." It was also before losing the complete balance in the SIM account on my first trade, by trying to "grab inventory" on the short side of the ES market.

    Nowadays I only trade SIM, except when I need to buy a new bag of white rice for nourishment. My life is wonderful.

    Everything else that you assumed about me is an alternate, non-existant reality, and you are lying to yourself.

    You should consider throwing that Coke can overboard as well, unless you use it for rust removal. Cigarrettes are harmful too.

    Your machinery, dietary habits and mental confusion, indicate that your methods and ways are not simple.

    I only trade when I feel like it[​IMG]

    No reason for me to say otherwise[​IMG]

    And still never learn until it's too late[​IMG]

    Too much rice is bad for you [​IMG]

    I never said what made me this way
