analyst75, Are you sure studying all of these successful traders - hoping to glean something from each of these models - is a great idea? I thought this post / book referral was about getting to the ‘super trader’ level. If you’re already there, reading about all of them might help you improve more ... but to get there - It's better, in my experiences observing and assisting other traders, to id one or two successful traders that have perceptual mapping and trading approach that is very similar to your own, optimize the ‘transmit’ from them... and ignore - no, eschew - all the rest. zdo "The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many men as possible." Bernard Baruch “Don’t fight forces. Use them.” Buckminster Fuller "Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one." Charles Mackay

are you being facetious? Actually - being long physicals (silver and or gold via long term ratio trade) and over-hedging short with paperpm's can make you some very pretty dimes... 2 birds 1.1 stone "you used to call me on my cell phone" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eqwnm-NEd4k

bold, stupid, button pushing new yr posting... for snicks... PM charts still look like they ‘want to’ go down more... certainly don’t quite look ready to soar but after I’ve got the EUR trying to turn up, at least bounce, in the next 1-3 weeks ... which correlates bullish PM’s over last few years "buy and sell"...

I have an old friend who also has long favored / does best with simple, large paper charts. After years of doing it by hand on graph paper, he bought an 'old' / used plotter from a local engineering firm and had a programmer write code that programmically adds each day’s plot to his ~ 48” X 36” paper chart... cool ... hth

MM, I understand. ...indeed the center, a space between fringe and pablum, does get narrower and narrower...but don’t knock my fringin if all you can do is stay right smak up in the middle of the pablum... : razzin: you, bro ... jk... really... ... maybe I should have skimmed the article more better before posting the link... Seriously now... (well as seriously as I can muster) --- overall PM ‘usage’ demand is flat. The demand he is discussing in the article is about the demand of the (for now wacko) wealth preservation nuts for physicals ... “ It’s always about timing. If it’s too soon, no one understands. If it’s too late, everyone has forgotten." – Anna Wintour And btw, the ‘supply’ you consistently reference across your posts in this thread is paper supply. You’re almost sure to go HATIN me on this ‘manipulation’ aspect ... but When was the most recent authentic price discovery in silver? The last tick -- or -- 30 years ago? I’m almost positive your perspective is solidly ‘last tick’ and it most likely will stay that way until you get beyond the USD purchasing power of AU ... “ how prices have dropped...” ...beyond ... initially, to what AU is currently doing in relation to global ( composite ) fiat last 1... 2 yrs (... and what this is doing to local production costs for mines, etc... ) to ’policy debt’ ---> efforts to delay the ‘pain’ ... the growing number of seemingly strong, but actually fragile, tyrannies in ungovernable countries... choked economies ...sovereign defaults... jubilees... blow offs...etc... coming to a year near you... ...then on to at least a more general historical and projective study of AU’s purchasing power of realty, objects, services, consumables, etc. ... Then on to... "For, dear me, why abandon a belief merely because it ceases to be true? Cling to it long enough, and not a doubt it will turn true again, for so it goes.

Are you sure there are 'secrets' ( things "Super Traders Don’t Want You to Know ") in this book?

nobita, Welcome. Are you new owner of the site ? If so... Wishing you enjoyment and prosperity here... PS Happy Holidays to All later... zdo

Neeko, (Not going to disrespect your “unless you know a trader in Arizona that can help me or are a trader in Arizona.” request over in your other thread - but I am mighty tempted to refer you to Woody and his AZ stick family :rofl: ) anyways ... One man’s 'scalp' is half of another man’s morning... etc etc ... robust inventory control can be confused with scalping. ... so > Please let us know what you mean by “scalping”. Are you already decent at ( your definition of ) scalping? I advise traders to discover and develop their natural niche(s) in trading before engaging in “trading training” - because in trading, you need to be able to rely on your innate tendencies and idiosyncratic abilities as much as on technique(s). To hone your skills, your actions must be extensions of your natural capabilities. and fwiw, I also advise traders not to even consider a real “trading mentor” until they are consistently profitable. Contrary to what tommyho said above they are NOT "all inclusive" mish mashed together. Maybe he was only trained and thought he was getting coaching and mentoring too. Or he may have been blessed, a one in a million, with his developmental support - and now concludes everyone can be a one in a million just like him... smart people seem to particularly susceptible to this fallacy... Paraphrasing Einstein = implied in 'keep it simple' is that 'it' must also to be as complex as necessary ... ya'll have a great weekend zdo

Neeko, I think Mark Douglas still lives in AR. He is no longer actively teaching but he may be willing and able to help you network locally. hth

When you go through any profile of a ‘great’ trader, make notes of where you and he diverge. One place to run such an exercise is at Almost every time I’ve suggested this exercise, traders come back at me thinking I was saying they should be modeling the other trader - doing it like he does, etc. Nope. The purpose is to discover your own blind spots - things you have not even considered - not to discover where he or she is doing ‘it’ right and you’re doing ‘it’ wrong. Btw - if you don’t think you have any blind spots then don’t bother with the exercises.

I have gotten good results with a small Sony digital voice recorder and Dragon… been using the same recorder for 8+ years now … only replaced batteries once... useful for other things too. hth

freak, That is the best Forex article ever published on TL. Thanks a lot. actually neither gold nor btc are investment vehicles... as trades bitcoin is easier... btc is essentially a digital bearer bond. over the next few years - btc has more upside potential in terms of USD - and also way more downside potential ie btc offers a better variance trading opportunity... gold offers a better safety opportunity. jmo

Neeko, As an exercise maybe define (for yourself) what each of the following are: Trading Therapy Trading Training Trading Coaching Trading Mentoring If you want, post it. ... some discussion possible... zdo PS: chk your PM's

MM, nope. It’s two separate lists Your list: Trading reality Trading healing (learning to forget about the trading fantasy) is on top My list: Trading Therapy Trading Training Trading Coaching Trading Mentoring is what traders can do when they can’t pull off your list on their own... when they turn to others for help... and MM I'm hatin on your fkn list :helloooo: surprised? :rofl: Here's why --- I would never advise anyone to give up ( forget ) the trading 'fantasy'. The vision is central. ... extremely valuable when refined. Btw - and refining it does not mean adjusting it to reality! It's the other way around. It's consistently working directly in and on the discrepancies btwn the vision and accurate assessment of current realities... but that brings discomforts that most end up trying to avoid... they end up relieved...in a rusting 'inner' car lot... Ya'll have a great weekend. zdo

Tallinex, that’s a pretty good ‘hook’ for your golden C ... ( but what the fk does this have to do with trading sikology?) 

Thank you, MM and JP. There is deep wisdom in your dis(en)couragements. But let’s also honor the fire within that is still burning after 8 years... and his concomitant commitment. We could generalize about typical 2 yrs of ‘fire’ and’ if you haven’t’ by 5 years, etc . etc. but each of us is a sample of one... All traders near the big distribution’s ‘mean’ are losers! Passing the cusp into ‘surviving’ is mult. std.dev’s away... Passing the cusp into ‘thriving’ is way tail ... NOT normal ! Likely the OP is gone now so the following is for the general audience --- Developing traders need to differentiate for themselves the differences btwn Trading Therapy Trading Training Trading Coaching Trading Mentoring Don't lump mush them all together or confuse (or try to substitute) one for the other(s) Developing traders need to differentiate for themselves what their specific needs are for each of those... .,. will find some time to discuss this further if requested. all the best zdo PS engulf says "Sometime we just walk into the help we need.

lisaanwood, Playing reversions is fine with indexes, etc. but... With fx, wouldn’t it be more helpful to start a thread on ' mean excursions ’ ?
