2nd post is interesting, fight or flight!!!

In real life, I'd DEFINATELY a FIGHTER big time, think nothing of taking on 4 Chav's in the middle of the night and ripping them all new holes, trading I'm doing the same it's taken years for me to get over, I have a loss, rather than walking away I dig in, buy more and more then lose the account pretty quickly.

I've got a mate, who's a total brainless body building moron which acts hard, but FLIGHT big time, even sees a fight it's RUN and WET himself literally time, normally after he starts the fight leaving me alone to sort it out, but trading he's made loads UK Stocks.


So in short, it seems your better off being a brainless total and utter coward, if you want to make it as a trader.

I'd say the same thing, if someone else had said it, all talk to hide the fact there a pussy is normally the way, hell I know a moron who claims to be ex SAS ( Hair dresser ) who's going to kill me, but saw me, crapped himself and ran away literally on the run part, dunno on the crap part maybe.

So there are exceptions to this general rule, not that I go around acting hard in day to day life, take it as a statement of fact.

First, I would like to address this (the above quote). You've said that you despise spending
any longer than 2 minutes looking at a chart. If that's the case, what could you possibly know
about self-sabotage, fear. greed, etc.

What I'm aware of is that "say" you transfer your thoughts into EA's and as I also understand
you will code EA's for others (for a price). Is that correct?

Can you explain the psychology of that or what it has to do with it or are you simply looking
for new business ???

It's a "real" question.

Hello Mr. Turveyd;
It's nice to see you post again. At this particular moment it might seem that your
mate should be making the decisions.

Just my lame opinion.

So not to get too off topic here but you obviously fancy yourself a bit. The likelihood is you would get a slap otherwise you wouldn't be posting rubbish like this on a trading forum. Take it elsewhere bully victim, go and find some "chavs" or do they take your scratch cards off you when you pop out for milk? Sounds about right.

And you also, Mr. "TranceTrader" still have much to learn it seems.

Can you tell me explicitly what separates you from Mr. Turveyd ??
Is it somewhere in the "beat yer' ass attitude" ??

Just wondering.

He might be richer than me, but I'm wayyyyy happier and don't wet myself, sure as hell wouldn't trust him with my money, IQ 90 max.

Failed upwardly due to playing the can't sack me, epilepsy card, so they keep giving him glowing reviews so he goes elsewhere, then they quickly realise they've been conned and put him in charge of photo copying, on a managers wage.


Found a VERY simple method and gotten my Psychology aspect of trading pretty much fixed anyways.

And yet your the 1 picking a fight and doing the bitch talk LOL



Fight or Flight is interesting Psychology wise and this is a psychology thread.

I've seen BIG huge lads go into FLIGHT mode and little scrappy types Chase after then in FIGHT mode, most people are Flight from experience.

FIGHT mentality doesn't work for me trading wise, causes BIG Draw downs way to often, but I guess FLIGHT people suffer in different ways, can't think what that is. Ideas ??



Streets been Chav free for over 2 years , since the last lot had a knife fight right outside my house at 1am, not pretty, both lived!!

Mr. Turveyd............ It seems to me that you're not exactly expressing your
maximum IQ at this particular moment.

Further, it has been proven that IQ (within a range) has little to do with trading
ability.

"He might be richer than me,"

Also, aren't you suggesting that someone who has been on FF for a far shorter
period of time than you might be more successful ???
And it almost seems that you could have a "grudge" without even knowing the
answer. What is the truth? Define YOUR truth...............

I don't know the answer. I just keep trying to get better.

Under performing is generally my goal, I've got LCD it's like OCD but Lazy rather than obsessive

I think / suspect lower is good, stops you over thinking it your like a blank slate EA just follow some rules which hopefully work and your fine.

Length of time on FF is totally irrelevant, likely the longer on any forum the more BS you learn and the lower your odds of success.

If your goal is to be mediocre or less...... that's great !!! I trust that you're reaching your goal ???

It's not bitch talk, it's just pointing out the obvious. Hopefully you will think twice the next time you're about to post "I'm a fighter, I'd glady take on four chavs in the middle of the night" on a fourm full of adults, it's cringe worthy.

Back to the subject, I agree with the fight or flight comparison but it's worth extending the concept and considering that once you've experienced the emotional pain of a loss (the fight) and come to terms with it... it becomes easier to deal with the next time and then the next and so on... until the point when losing no longer causes any of the original emotion pain. This is the point when a trader can begin to really accept that to win at trading, you have to be a good loser and trying to avoid losing will only cause your more emotional pain. That's my 2 cents.

That's your opinion, it's the truth, I have / did, it's an example of my Psychology, nothing more, chill!!!

I think it's the FIGHT which makes some of us dig in and not take the small loss, which ultimately ends up being a bigger loss, cause we are trying not to lose too hard.

Quite a few of us, do well, do well, account +100% no real losers then lose all profit and 3 months of hard work in 45 bad minutes, well that's always been my issue.
