Ric,
Have you ever traded any security of any
type?
You are a master of meaningless dribble that has
nothing whatsoever to do with trading the markets.
We are here to share trading information and
hopefully help one another out and you are doing neither.
Please, either offer something of value or shut
your mouth.

Subject: [RT] Thank you
Hi,Thank you to all those who sent supportive
emails. They were all appreciated.One phrase piqued
my interest: "especially for your persistence in the face of often great
hostility".If you trade, you will get 'hostility' in the
form of running losses, and if a directional player, it might seem that the
market is strongly disagreeing with your position and your ego might invoke
fear to try and 'protect' you. This fear may be strong
if you are overtrading but anyway it can seem like the market is
'hostile'.But it is just the market - it takes nothing personally and
does not even know you exist.'If you cannot stand the heat get out of
the kitchen' comes to mind.So persistence in the face of hostility is
business as usual for a trader.Strength is measured by how flexible
and robust you are in the face of 'adversity', not by how well you do in good
times.So many traders measure their success, as mostly buyers of
stocks, in a bull market.When the music stops, many traders with a
shallow base of confidence lose the veneer of self-assurance they had along
with their profits.Perhaps, like the fire-fighters in New York, your
metal is really tested in times of trouble. They would
perhaps make excellent traders as they
demonstrate: - discipline, - a
service
mentality, - overcoming
of
fear, - under-trading.If
you see yourself as a fire-service putting out trading fires, yes you may lose
a trade or two, but you come out much stronger and richer on the other
side.My advice is to do the trading equivalent of starting your own
fire service if you want to trade successfully and make money regularly with
little stress.Do not wait for a tragic event to test your metal,
refine your fire service before the test comes so you pass with flying colours
as did New York. Unconditional regards, Ric.<A
