Almost all of your article addressing the common problem that we all facing to be a better trader. Every time I read your article it definitely taught me how to focus and think differently. Thank you. With warmest regards. FransAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128229.post-45740732646838893062009-09-19T16:34:19.158-06:002009-09-19T16:34:19.158-06:00Thanks, dsb.

I think your point that trading strictly by plan is an on-going struggle, not just an obstacle to be hurdled and left behind is particularly well made. I know I struggle with it in my own trading day after day. Thanks for your contribution.<br />Bill KraftBill Kraft, MarketFN.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274803638438137352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128229.post-31387504792716888282009-09-19T16:33:06.064-06:002009-09-19T16:33:06.064-06:00Anonymous, I'm not sure why you might think I ...Anonymous, I'm not sure why you might think I need more business. My living is made trading; I'm in my 60s, and I really have little need for any more business. Insofar as the paid subscription services are concerned, there is a complete Trade Table for each service in which the trade, date of entry, cost, date of exit, and profit and loss are listed.<br />Bill KraftBill Kraft, MarketFN.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274803638438137352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128229.post-74716801839516749052009-09-19T12:13:13.883-06:002009-09-19T12:13:13.883-06:00Bill,

I have been in the business for 33 years and I can state that what you say rings true in the real world of trading.<br />Your latest, Sine Metu, reminds me of and old saying from the commodity traders:<br />"Scared money never makes money". Emotions, Fear primary among them, always have an adverse effect on trading. The problem has always been to eliminate emotion, trade strictly by plan, much as you suggest. The sad fact is that this is the most difficult thing to accomplish and is an on-going struggle, not a obstacle to be hurdled and left behind. The millions of traders that have failed in the past, and the many millions of dollars lost by them demonstrate the fundamental nature of this problem.<br />I think it was FDR that said "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." As traders, taking risk is just part of the trade. We must do all that we can to look inside ourselves, to find what causes fear and affects our jugement. Only then will one be able to determine if one should even be investing, let alone trading.<br />dsbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30128229.post-45445514864978315822009-09-19T11:35:27.903-06:002009-09-19T11:35:27.903-06:00I believe that you will receive more business and ...I believe that you will receive more business and credibility if you post a running log of your buy / short positions and net profit. They can be posted after you make them. And if they are audited posts, that would have tremendous credibility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
