Marc Lasry: Making Great Wealth from Taking Risks
zdo replied to analyst75's topic in Trading Psychology
anal75, Go back and start that post over... start with " Marc Lasry was raised by Jews." ... and while you're at it, don't forget his russian mob connections ... re "4. There’s no need to be concerned about how good a setup is..." While there is a large set of traders for whom that is a major issue, it also needs to be said - That assertion is highly system specific! -
How long does it take to become a successful trader?
zdo replied to kingston's topic in Beginners Forum
mits, that is one of the best trading posts I have ever read - period. I only found one area where I need to say anything ... your brutality sometimes needs a bit of clearing up. and that's re: " ...The ability to become someone else when you're trading. - Hence the bullshit advice about finding a trading style that fits your personality. The only trading style that counts is one that makes money. No doubt - there is BS advice out there about "finding a trading style that fits your personality" ... the 'cult of personality' reigns and they will have it no other way. But rather than say " ...The ability to become someone else when you're trading. " I'd say " ...The ability to be your true self when you're trading. ". The following is one of several perspectives or ways of describing that - Mainstream psychology has little place for it, but experienced therapists - especially those facilitating growth instead of recovery - start to note distinct differences between usual 'ego' and what I'll momentarily label as 'mature ego.' Before reading on into this sentence, most will have quickly associated maturity with some age, so let me quickly intervene and clarify. Maturity has nothing to do with age! For one - although few be mature consistently, a child can be as mature as an adult. More to this point - few old people ever develop a consistent, reliable 'mature ego'. One school calls it 'aware ego' to emphasize that the person has moved beyond unconscious identification with various (archetypal) parts of self into a conscious awareness of when those parts are activated and development of more choices/options with them in order to live less reactively. For several years TL was blessed to have Rande Howell attempt to open some of this up for traders. From my perspective he fell down because 1) to my knowledge, he never became aware of / acknowledged a crucial set of archetypal 'parts' that can only be accessed non-cognitively through recovering (myofascial, etc) flow in the first body 2) trying to sort on and bring forth a select few archetypal parts and 3) having never traded he could rarely really resonate to the levels needed for facilitating awareness in his clients ... ie so his only successful clients were those who individually serendipitously matched up with those parts he had presorted on and were also sufficiently primed to attain awareness with limited facilitation. so re: " The only trading style that counts is one that makes money." A 'mature ego' will not do that - period. bcse ... If you trade a 'style' that is incompatible with your true nature, it will not work long term. I have seen it over and over. Don't have time so here are some links to previous posts (that are maybe) related to 'true nature' http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/futures-trading-laboratory/3619-how-much-would-you-pay-learn-10.html#post147984 ( http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/trading-markets/9551-how-complex-your-trading-system-6.html#post116639 http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/trading-psychology/7646-change-thyself.html#post91784 http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/trading-psychology/4269-edge-vs-mentality-6.html#post44499 ) Stated in terms of the above, if you trade a strong system/method with weak (archetypal) parts, you will fail - gradually or suddenly. (developing traders need to advance at some point and make adaptive additions of multiple methods ie to be able to bring strong parts to a weak system - but that is not really the point here.) ...if TL had more active participants, probs are high some 'voice of trading' would come on to discount this ego/fear-reactivity aspect, comfort, attempt to Kiss, etc., and of course, provide short cuts where there are none.

"village idiot feels need of a hiatus from this form of amusement" but can't take hiatus? ...working like a demon?... won't drink any water?... got some reptilian brain issues? The "village idiot" is projecting ... wildly. Projections rarely parallel the real. We let them pass - until they are grossly off. Every paragraph of your post was 19th century or worse off ... then - "Revolutions are much like writing novels; hard to start, and impossible to find an ending that satisfies all." ...first, it turns out satisfied is a choice... not a reaction to an outcome... and almost as first - that " revolutions " angle is ALL yours, JP ... a branch of the projections and example of the false associations trapped in your brains ie none of it came from or was inferred by zdo ie Major clue for anyone who isn't going all reactive alongside JP - the 'ist' was omitted intentionally and purposely. Let's talk when you've authentically cleared the ist off for yourself re: "hurts to laugh" - that's 'funny' ... pneumonia isn't often accompanied by prominent pleuritic symptoms... regardless please get well soon. slydest perspective shivt ... did you ever read the book Pendulum by Roy Williams?

Noam Gottesman: Founder of a Successful Trading Business
zdo replied to analyst75's topic in Trading Psychology
Using more obtuse phrasing, I have hit on the same thing a couple of times...that 1) traders at the first cusp simply do not have the capacity to really learn anything from traders who have passed the second cusp. 2) and even if they could get something out of it, the MASTERs in these profiles are not telling it like it really is and their profilers are not really 'getting it' either. For example - I know Jerry Parker and if he were really giving real advice to someone it would be quite different from the spiel some Michael Covel spun together after a 15 minute pity interview ... that A75 then recycled into his What You Need to Know: sections 3) "Find your own way" zdo Now that you mention it, Joel Darr does seem to be having too much big pile of fun for a vendor ... All vendors need to be at least as serious as DBP... who I've never seen crack an online 'smile' his whole life... :razz: -
Having developed automated trading systems for over 18 years now ( in several 3-4 month long project spurts and not continuously all 18 frkn yrs btw) I can say that (unless you are not going for anything with the slightest hint of adaptability or robustness) the following is equally true ... “In my experience trading takes a very important and somewhat rare personality trait which is: the ability to see the next illogical step and to then get it done. If this ability is lacking you will always be behind.” – Graysheen (Source: eweetwada) ...

:haha: yep the OP, anal75, is probably saying "look what they've done to my thread mom... " I don't know about any of the rest of you - but I'm triggered and I need a safe space :rofl:

Mits, I just L'dOL. Thanks. It does my heart good to know you are healthy enough to REALLY be back :grin: ... Actually I have yet to ever really deal with third cusp on TL... It is 'beyond'... Its guidance is built in. ... and your clarification/interpretation of "1 in 1000" is off. fwiw, there are no "chosen one"z -bcse the 1's I work with 1) have already accomplished a series of non 'voice of trading' choices and actions on their own ... long before we ever meet, 2) have a predilection or at least readiness to set aside consensus blfs and do the work to assure that flow in the first body is reestab'd before 'proceeding' through 2nd cusp... and wtf is a cusp? ... It is their acts that separates the 1'z... not their attitudes of exclusivity...and zdo has no special dispensation or capacity to anoint. They are 'choosen ones' ... not 'chosen ones' the "other 999 can't be bothered to not carry on in their ignorance." is one of many good ways to say it. ...that TL is not really a place to discuss 'health first' is another... ...in 10 years, not a single '1' has shown up from TL Maybe turn it around. That discussion was focused more on the 1000 than on 1 or on zdo ... ... https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2016/08/26/power-outside-the-matrix-cult-of-the-reality-builders-3/ ... ... and btw, since 1991 the slightest indication of 'disciple' has elicited an unpleasant, distasteful reaction in me... those relationships are ended quickly. Projection... transference... yuk... ... > 5 sentences and > 5 minutes ie enuf data provided and bs now quantifiable by the mitmitmeter and gotta scoot time's up have a good one ... and thanks again ... zdo Written by Dave Gilmour, Richard Wright • Copyright © Imagem U.S. LLC, Warner/Chappell Music, Inc

Actually I do speed write them... posting the first thing that pops into my head... using as few words as possible. If you have to look up words - I probably should be looking up some words too... Since my audience is 1 in a 1000 (and when 1 of them shows up we quickly get off this medium), the first cusp (ie TL) gets on average less than 5 minutes a day
