like all great books, she has no idea, but carries a way of thinking.

What is your risk tolerance?

Tolerance for risk – a popular theme in the investment community. The higher your tolerance for risk, the more risky investments you can afford, without transferring stress. There are many ways you can help determine risk tolerance. Usually assume that what is more, the better. However, my work has allowed me to select a group of traders who prefer the security. They relax at work and trade with the appropriate mental mood. This is neither good nor bad, it’s just trading style. Answer the following questions that evaluate your trading style. Determine how each of the 20 judgments suits you personally.

About “this” )

About “THIS” ))))

Quite an intimate question)))
Please answer only very well. active scalpers, trading every day for the entire session or day traders, which have a fairly high% change in the intraday margin on the deposit, which leads to strong emotional overload.

So here)) Always wanted to ask this question, even when he was hacked on the Russian Federation)):

Is it always, after a shock day a la “fuck i survived”, you experience bouts of frigidity, no matter how attractive your girlfriend is?)))
It usually extends to 3-5 hours after the trading session itself) “Is being treated” stupid sleep)) even for at least a couple of hours.
But in practice it turns out, then if the trading day is before 12 nights, then until the morning about any “megatrach” no need to talk))

Just don’t talk about impotence (want, but I can not), because this is exactly frigidity (I can, but I do not want). Ie. I technically can, it doesn't even depend on mine “consciousness”)), but I will get very dubious pleasure during this period)

Just ... in the period, when i lived with a girl, I remember it was a problem) This was usually decided by, that all the intimate moments were in the morning))) Better yet, in the morning)
But… it was not enough) Therefore, the problem was still there..

There are also married traders right there.. how are they?)) I would like to know)

Ну.. and if, who has any ideas on this – write)

Individuality and trade

In his interview, «Market Wizards» Dr. from K. Tharp gives a characterization of the trader – the underdog. The common feature of all the losers is a high susceptibility to stress and the inability to protect themselves from stress. They typically negative view of life, they expect the worst, they have a lot of conflicts with their own individuality. They tend to blame others when something goes wrong. This portrait is groundless. If a trader is easily excited and pessimistic at the same time, it can not effectively apply their skills and abilities, does not believe that he could succeed in the long term and remain in the stock trading business. Despite the fact that there is a general idea of who can become a successful trader, scientific papers on this topic is almost unknown.

ЛЧИ2009

ЛЧИ2009)

Well… )) The Internet begins to dazzle about the start of the annual Russian Trading Championship)) "Best Private Investor - 2009"..

In this connection, I, as the superhero of the last tournament, I want to mention this))))) So to speak, I still have to write a few lines about this)

Firstly, i want to bet, that nobody… NONE OF PEOPLE will do 6500% behind 3 months. hands!!!

results “other categories” players I do not perceive and do not compare with my, namely: robots with a million transactions per day or people, using such software, which allows you to semi-automate work and trade like a robot (I'm talking about EVA -_-), and kamekaze optioners are also up to the heap.
I do not believe in that, that my record will be broken)) Ie. сядет чувачек на обычном квике\смарте, on a regular connection and manually sausage 6500% from a futures or a cigarette)
I didn't have that many deals.. it is seen, that a living person was trading.. made decisions.

Day of beginners or those who are not in the subject: why 6500%, but not 3000%, as in public statistics. Because there is a glitch in the calculations of the tournament grid on the RTS website, raising initial c-va if you take a pose with GO, bigger than your depot. I started with 30 000p, not with 63 634p, as stated in public statistics. Final depot ~ 2 lamas. Therefore, my result is approximately 6500%. In general, this figure is calculated from real brokerage reports.. And everyone who followed the competition from the very beginning – can confirm my words.

Secondly, why i won't participate?
Hmm…
Fuck hope?)))
I “lose” at the competition anyway.. even if I borrow 1 a place! Ie. even in this case, it will turn out to be unprofitable for me.
If I start with a depot at 100 000$ to the forts – i can't make it so wild % due to liquidity. And if you start with 1000$ as last time – then in the case of successful trading, I will earn several times less money, even taking into account the prize, than from the depot in the west, which in 10 times more)))

BUT! These are largely excuses.… The last time, after all, it was not particularly profitable for me to start it either.. and I wrote about it. Therefore, I participated with a completely different motivation.… Show yourself!) showed… and got everything I wanted from it. Notoriety + big loot. Further participation will not add to my ignorance (everyone already knows me, scream), no investors, because I don't need them anymore)))

That's it)
Karoch, good luck to everyone)))

P.S.
Why I don't want to go back to Russia at all – answer in the picture on the right) Look carefully.. she makes sense)
(race – lowest staircase)))


They tell me here, that LCHI2009 is just 2 months)))))) That's shit.. How then to count((
Through 2 months. with me 30 000p was 1 103 565p, and this is 3678%

But I don’t even want to count it that way.. because my advantage is, that I am a station wagon.. when was the mobile amount – i scalped, when more … 600-700 thousand – I am already more intradeil, because scalping is already problematic due to liquidity. Therefore, maybe some nerd scalper will work 3678% behind 2 months, but it won't work 6500% behind 3 months!)) In general, I hope you understood the logic…

Motivational Quotes

Success can often be a matter of following the principles of human nature. At heart people are often optimistic, but trouble can easily break their moral balance. In such cases, more important than ever to use intelligent strategies for recuperation and proper motivation. An effective way to achieve this – to collect a set of motivational quotes. I scanned several electronic resources and collected a set of quotations, which are common with the trading, although it does not directly relate to. You can choose several books on the psychology of trading and to read the thoughtful advice of trade guru, but also a very good idea would be to analyze what they say about life, experts in other fields of human activity. People can achieve success in various fields, success is a success regardless of what you seek.
