I believe there is a psychotherapy site on some
remote newsgroup somewhere that might be able to help you with your personal
problems.
Please take them there ASAP.
The rest of us are here to discuss and exchange
ideas and information that will help us improve our trading
skills.
You are adding absolutely nothing to this
goal.

Subject: [RT] A mere student
speaks
Hi,I am a student of the easy, still
learning.I do not claim to be a master of anything, let alone a
master of the difficult act of trading with the trend.I am not a
good enough trader to make money trading the trend - I leave that to the
masters of the difficult.One of my personal problems, which I am
actively working on, is a tendency to look for others
motivations. This is self-destructive, as there is then an
inclination to use such an (often false) assumption as lens to evaluate what
they say and do.False conclusions, more a reflection of myself than
reality, are the result. In trading this means
losses.One of the advantages I find in the following three trading
styles: - spread
trading, - volatility
breakout
trading, - market
making,is I need to make little or no
projections. Even if a forecast proves wrong, a
higher probability trade becomes available. In other words my
predilection for false assumptions through using motivation as a lens has
little chance to undermine my trading results.Many other traders
seem to suffer, to one degree or another, from my problem of evaluation
through a lens of presumed motivation - in fact it seems to be a rare person
that has mostly overcome this tendency.Perhaps that is why the
majority of traders with consistent 50% plus annual returns and limited
draw-downs use one or more of the above three trading styles.But
perhaps I am a master of one thing - a master of being wrong for I am wrong
so often, I must be getting expert at it - especially when I look for others
motivations.And I do love being wrong - it is one of the best ways
to learn.Unconditional regards, Ric.<A
