    The people who survive avoid snowball scenarios in which bad trades cause them to become emotionally destabilized and make more bad trades. They are also able to feel the pain of losing. If you don't feel the pain of a loss, then you're in the same position as those unfortunate people who have no pain sensors. If they leave their hand on a hot stove, it will burn off. There is no way to survive in the world without pain. Similarly, in the markets, if the losses don't hurt, your financial survival is tenuous.

    Don't think about what the market's going to do; you have absolutely no control over that. Think about what you're going to do if it gets there. In particular, you should spend no time at all thinking about those rosy scenarios in which the market goes your way, since in those situations, there's nothing more for you to do. Focus instead on those things you want least to happen and on what your response will be.

  3. Once again, idiot, show us your magic "past-free" charts.

    As I said, even the latest tick is the past by the time it gets to your screen and everything before that is ancient history.

    You have no answer so you obfuscate like you learned from your master Jack.

  4. Now you're plagiarizing Eckhardt and passing it off as something you wrote?

    So in addition to being an ignoramus, you have zero integrity. Why doesn't that surprise me...

  5. Another plagiarized Eckhardt quote...

    You need to reinvent yourself and get a new nic. You've lost all credibility.

  6. Heh "general".... I read that exact quote 20 some odd years ago in one of those"trading" books I chucked.

    Too bad we can't chuck you and your tired old nonsense off this thread as easily!

    BTW, what's with the "general" thing? Inferiority complex? What?

  7. Trader666:
    Do you remember reading that Bill said indicators don't work?
    That sure ruined my day because he turned out to be right. At least not conventional indicators...

  8. He was asked his opinion of "popular" OB/OS indicators like RSI and stochastics and said he thinks they're nearly worthless.

    But Jack Hershey says stochastics is a leading indicator :eek:

  9. Updated list of Hershey defenders and apologists:

    suma66 -- multialias stalker and liar who was banned under the nic supermandel666 for posting gay porn while trying to smear the "B-Team"

    vienna -- naive ingratiator who got suckered out of $80,000 by John Carter

    eight -- racist deadbeat who spews venom and posts advice on how to be a "better" deadbeat

    the general -- plagiarist, trading ignoramus and wannabe
