I just went and read it again (page 6 btw) and I never understood it and the fact that you never provided the answer (or perhaps you did but I didn't read the thread up to that point) always really bugged me because I'm the sort of person that needs that reassurance. I obviously had my opinion of its meaning but I was never sure, until now (I think). At least I think that's how we know we finally understand something - when we get that relief which comes from knowing that we no longer need any reassurance.
The answer was given and there was some discussion about it. In my case, a light bulb finally lit above my head. It explained to me why, after months of success and profitable trading, I lost it all within a week and why this cycle repeated. Perhaps you need to study a bit more carefully?

I'm not sure we can ever remove the scorpion, in my case at least, I know my scorpion and I deal with it in my own way through MM and training, mainly mind training to keep the scorpion confined, stay calm and stick to the basics.

Vic.

sorry that you lost some $$$.
But is ok, seems you gained lots more. Total control.
Thanks for these words...means a lot...$$$ least worried...was more angry on myself..though much calm today...but not feeling upto mark to trade..i guess thsi is liberty we ave when we trade part time and other income is going fine...

Should had seen this coming, when they threw in the kitchen sink.
That was time to get out and watch.
Aside is a position.
My bad this time...actually didnt knew that they are in kitchen sink...

Vic , for you , what you need to do is to change environment, lose the feelings, forget about your trade. Seems lost the nimbleness.Don't let your feeling haunt your next trades. Go holiday for a couple days , even just go to villages , remote places and let lose self, best go live where is down right poverty, then you should find yourself again, the truely powerful trader. This bad trade , don't mean a thing, Its a wakeup call.

Wish I could go active like you chaps. But i guess there is a limit, and i had burned both end of it.

Hi Zoran,
I see you around alot.
Say something.
No need fear that cranky fti.

Yes, I've been here constantly for the last 4 years even if I don't say much these days.

In that time I've seen your nice side and cranky side many times.

But I read the thread loyally.

Really good to see the thread lively again! Especially the chief active.

Hope all trade well.

Thankfully my flow has been spot on for the last 2 weeks.

Hopefully, I have vanquished my scorpions.

in fact all humans are audiophiles.
But the music distrubution channels had adultrated the ears of the unknowing.
convinced that peeps cannot hear below 50 Hz and above 12kHz.
In fact that is heared by the bones.
Ya i heard some $500,000 SGD gYPhon speakers, large as coffins.
but unfortunately lost out to my mission cyrus signature and Mcintosh mono blocks( replacements for my Krell/Harmon Kardon monos) on passive preamp. Even the owner agreed. The colouration most systems embrace is too artificial.

The secret is simple. I self wounded my short interconnects. used gold instead of copper. If you use copper, normally is to speakers, make sure transducer impedence is 2 ohms, other wise you need artifically created crossovers drive the transducers, makes much difference.

The transport and all that is rubbish. Is the stream. Never stream. even CD players stream. Load all on ram and the jitter is gone.
And please not add all sorts. Every thing added creates electronic noise,and will unsettle your sound/noise floor.

And stay away from DAC colourations.

enjoy your new hobby.

regards

Ps if you can still get it, use the Sheffield Lab XLO for speaker phasing placements and room treatment. Big difference.

ya , many peeps not noticed the specs on their transports.The real good ones like JVC and NAD, they load play data on ram. Now i use dedicated computer do the same. use audiophile built software instead of foobar. foobar is good but unfortunately it streams the data. causes jitters.

Oh , one more thing. Never ever use subs. they over enhance the lows. Makes matching trancients close to impossible.

nope NAD only good for their transports. their amps are stereo.
The caps used in stereo amps cannot deliver the needed impedence burst.
if you serious use mono blocks.
You need listen to many high systems before you can decide. Do not train your ears, just trust them.
Any one can recognise inferior sound, when you hear them side by side.
Try feel the instrument placement seperation , from the sound stage. with eyes closed.

you talking mcintosh mono block amps...

ooh yea there is one high end store for music in NYC...they made me listen two songs and what a separation it was...all the instrument clearly separated node by node...it was a bliss with close eyes...you could clearly listen the separation...

that time i knew i wanted that....issue was how to fork out $1,00,000 for the entire system which was they made me listen...well in due time i guess... i think the speakers were 50,000$ pair of eclipse and then Mcintosh preamp...and other cd music....

its a hobby, so go slowly.
you'll get there, no need rush.
and your speakers, make sure you run them in, on white and pink noise.
need get the spiders balanced before they will pump properly.
And please never touch vibrating cones, its will kill the spiders.

the way run in the speakers is to face them opposite to each other closely and cover them with a thick blancket so that no one need suffer your exuberance while you running them in.

hello All, nice to see a audiophile topic...

do i understand correct you FTI listen to a mission cyrus??? i do with custom speakers from artspeak and a sony turntable with stanton element and on my computer yamaha HS50M active monitors


for people with limited funds you can find someone (like "my"mr. Raatjes from artspeak) who can modify and upgrade your gear... he dit this with my cyrus like FTI said replacing copper for gold... this is not as expensive as buying high end in wich this is standard. there are many 5 cents elements in amplifiers replacing it with 2dollar parts makes a huge diference.

another tip buy speakers that are good for your room... bigger is not always better!!

trade well and enjoy the music!! pax
even with my eyes open i cannot see everything
