Hi Debian, Thought I'd share this one with you...
----------------------------------------------------------------- A trader walks into a bar looking really down, sits down and orders a beer. He chugs it down and asks the bartender for another. As soon as he gets that one, he chugs it down too and asks for a third. The bartender asks him what's up as he sets the third glass down, and the guy says to him, "I did it again today. I just don't know what's wrong!" "What are you talking about?" asks the bartender. "Well I just keep shooting myself in the foot, and I can't figure out why I keep doing it and how to stop. This is really aggravating! "You see, I'm a futures and Forex trader and I keep staying my trades too long and giving back all my profits. Either that or I'll pull my stops hoping that the market will turn. "It seems like every time I start getting my account ahead, I do something stupid and wind up taking three steps back." The bartender leans over and says, "You need to talk to that guy at that table over there. He's a trader too and he's in here regularly having a grand old time." The guy looks over and sees the other trader laughing and making toasts with his friends, having a much better time than him, so he heads on over to the table. "Hi. The bartender said you're a trader too, and that I should talk to you. How is it you're always partying? I seem to be drowning my trading sorrows most of the time. What's your secret?" "Sit down and join us." says the happy trader. "I've seen you over there, and I used to be on that same bar stool doing the same thing, wondering how to turn it around and beating myself up at the same time. You see, here's the thing. You're probably a decent trader, but every now and then your emotions will kind of take over, and you wind up doing something that you know you shouldn't do but you do it anyway. Am I right?" "Yeah, but how do you get a handle on it? That's what I want to know. Staying disciplined is a whole lot easier said that done!" "It is when you try to fight your emotions. I used to try to ignore them, suppress them or just forcibly control them too. Doesn't work. "We're human beings, man! Our feelings are part of who we are! Once you start trading WITH your emotions, you'll find that they can actually help you trade BETTER than before." "Okay, so how do you do that?" "First thing you need to do is quit trying to do it on your own. It's next to impossible to pull yourself out of a tough spot." "I was pretty lucky. A good friend of mine recommended that I check out The Trader's Guide to Emotional Management and it was the best thing I ever did. My profitability went up immediately and now I'm partying instead of pouting. And, I feel a whole lot better about myself, too. "After all, trading really isn't that difficult IF you can keep your head on straight and avoid trashing your account." "So where can I get this Trader's Guide to Emotional Management?" "It's on the internet. Just go to http://www.insideouttrading.com/tgem/ "Check it out. You'll be over here having fun with us from now on!" "Thanks! I'm heading home right now to do just that! I'm definitely ready for a change. What was the site again?" http://www.insideouttrading.com/tgem/ "Cool! Welcome to the group! See you here tomorrow!" ------------------------------------------------------------------ Cheers Brian P.S. Forward this to your friends! It will bring you good luck, seriously!
