    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.

      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
