That is your opinion, 
however I wasn't going for her personality.  She has changed from when she 
first came on the scene to now.  Growth, maturity etc.  Anyway, I do 
believe people can change, it takes works, self awareness and determination but 
it is doable.  From your view (and you are entitled to it) a person has no 
opportunity for self actualization, self awareness and to change whatever 
negative or positive behavior. I think differently.

  Again that is Madonna was and is a user ... she is a person who 
  identifies what she believes her public wants and then she gives it to them in 
  large doses.  She'll be whatever you want her to be as long as you pay 
  for it.  In your case, you have to be you and actually, Madonna has to be 
  herself as well ... she just varies the facade.  But back to you, you 
  can't be what you are not.  You can't become who you are not.  Not 
  unless such changes happen over long periods of time, naturally.  You 
  have to take who you are and use that person's strengths and weaknesses to 
  become a successful trader.  Just do what she does.  Give em what 
  they want while continuing to be who you really are

    color=#808080>Bob, why would you say that?  Anyone can change and 
    view things differently if they are willing to make the changes within 
    themselves.  That is a part of our humanness.  For example, 
    Madonna, she has changed a lot since she first came to fame.  I only 
    use her because she lives in the spot light and you can see her growth from 
    her first interview/music to current day interviews/music.  Part of 
    life is about experiences and how those experiences impact, subtle or 
    explosive.

      BobOf course, we are all individuals so I can't speak for you but you 
      are looking to be trained/taught something that resides inside of 
      you.  It is a product of your upbringing.  Your values.  
      Your life's experiences.  For someone else with different ideas 
      brought on by their own experiences would be most difficult to pass on to 
      you, with yours.  Even the trading itself is, in part, a product of 
      your personality and what works for me, may well not work for you since 
      our personalities and life's experiences differ.  Only you can add to 
      your emotional account since only you have the assets and baggage which 
      must be a part of any change in that area.  In my opinion, you would 
      be wasting your time and money to attempt to bring in alien concepts to 
      your landscape.  I do wish you well in your quest.

        I really love all the feedback about getting/having a mentor.
        But I should have been more specific from the outset:
        I feel my challenges (and therefore my needs) are more
        along the lines of my mental game.  I have certain
        "support and resistance" levels in my mental game that
        hinder my growth as a trader.
        I would like to find someone who is an expert at assisting
        others in overcoming mental roadblocks and what I call
        "psychological capital drainage" factors.
        For me, I have found that on any given day, after early
        morning self-analysis, there's a certain amount of
        emotional capital that I have to work with.  
        I've found that the amount of emotional capital that I
        have in my "mental account" at any given time is of more
        importance than any amount of capital that's in my
        trading account.
        Bottom line is this: I have challenges with growing that
        amount of emotional capital -- by growing through my
        challenges (hopefully with the assistance of a "mental
        mentor" if you will) I will be able to grow my financial
        account as well.
        Soooo.....
        With all that in mind -- could someone recommend a
        one-on-one counselor, coach, mentor, or otherwise who
        you are confident can assist me in growing through
        my challenges?
        Thanks again to all who are so kind and generous with
        their time to reply.
        Warmly,

          Norman, 
          Well said. I've always enjoyed reading your posts. The last time 
          we spoke via e-mail, you mentioned that trading with Astrology one has 
          to trade a particular market only if it happens to play the right tune 
          on that specific date. If it doesn't happen to play the right tune 
          when the date comes, then you stand aside. I realize it's not easy to 
          make money in the market, if it were then everyone would be doing it, 
          but how do you know a particular market has played the right tune 
          until it's already finished it's song? 
          NW: Mat, one doesn't have to hear the 
          entire song in order to "name that tune:" Most people can identify 
          Beethoven's Fifth Symphony  after hearing the first four 
          notes.  Same is true for the market. 
          If my analysis and forecast say to 
          expect  A A B AA  and the market plays BB B CC  I know 
          my forecast is not in tune with the market. If the market shows signs 
          of matching what I expect, then there is a good chance my analysis is 
          in tune with the market and I should consider entering the 
          market.  
          Mat 
          P.S. I've always felt that if one could trade the markets 
          successfully for a living, then they wouldn't need to sell 
          books/systems/courses/indicators, etc... 
          NW: I say, why not do both?  I trade 
          and I enjoy meeting and helping people.  Each brings me 
          satisfaction that only doing one wouldn't do.

          DN, 
          Per your question below, trigger shyness can be fixed with 
          practice. First start with paper trading your system exactly to the 
          rules, assuming you have rules or a system. Hopefully, after seeing 
          your system successfully work on paper for at least six months, you 
          may decide you are ready to trade real money. Now trade the same 
          system using such a minimal amount of money that if all went wrong, it 
          wouldn't phase you. You should grade your performance as much by how 
          well you followed your rules as you judge the system. Making money on 
          a trade where you didn't follow the rules is a bad trade. Losing money 
          while following the rules is a good trade. If your system works and 
          you follow it, you will make money in the long run. If you had trouble 
          following your rules, you either need a different system or consider 
          changing to a non financial venture such as Parchesi where you won't h

          P.S. I sense with all the books and software you have, you may be 
          suffering from 
          analysis paralysis. The answer of course is to simplify!! Get a 
          simple system written 
          down on paper that you can follow like a robot. You should not be 
          making any decisions 
          during market hours. All strategies should be determined in 
          advance. Just follow what you 
          have laid out in advance just as you were a robot. No thinking 
          allowed.

          Norm, 
          Great advice to Brian. 
          Can you recommend any books/gurus/courses on EOD trading in the 
          Stock Market? 
          I have accumulated about $5,000 worth of books and about $10,000 
          worth of software ((now u sing AIQ mostly) Advanced Get occasionally). 

          I'm a reluctant "trigger-puller." I've been a "student" for about 
          six years. 
          Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
