[11:52] {dino} rinsed mdsco
[11:52] {patel} quit has been on my mind for a month.
[11:53] {jdetente} why Patel??
[11:53] {jdetente} we've been trading well and even losing days have been small
[11:54] {patel} I missed alot of those days not being int he room.
[11:54] {ese} ahhhhhh
[11:56] {Will49} don't give in Patel!
[11:56] {Les} first partial .36
[11:57] {Will49} this happened to me also....but in Feb things just started to "click"..I know now that you just have to put your head down and follow thr rules to a tee
[11:57] {jdetente} yes Will totally agree
[11:57] {ese} my advice exactly......hang in there
[11:57] {Will49} I was on verge of quitting dozens of times
[11:58] {Will49} you just have to serve your time on the rack (so to speak)
[11:58] {Les} Only on Ritalin can I analyse and see the beauty of Vad's system. But I know also see now that when Vad is having a rough day my own system serves as backup.
[11:58] {ese} lol
[11:59] {jdetente} but even rough days, Vad's system contains losses
[11:59] {patel} yeah, feels like the days we do awesome those are the days I am not in the room and the days we lose or very little green those are the days I am here.
[11:59] {nemo} kill Les
[11:59] {ese} exactly
[11:59] {Will49} just bad luck Patel
[11:59] {Will49} like a casino, you need to be in operation to gain the edge
[11:59] {nemo} wow, that's a great tell...if kneecap isn't here it'll be a great day
[12:00] {Les} so I should just leave?

01[13:09] {Threei}  no jd
[13:10] {dino} but quiting soon, tee time in 45 minutes
01[13:12] {Threei}  one thing I feel the need to add dino
01[13:12] {Threei}  party of late 90s continued for much longer than anyone could expect
01[13:12] {Threei}  while the signs of the top are there this time just as last time, it can go on for months
01[13:12] {Threei}  maybe more
[13:13] {Alexs} de short .10?
01[13:13] {Threei}  we heard "that's it, we are reversing" for at least two years in tech boom
[13:14] {dino} sure, agreed.
01[13:14] {Threei}  if holds .20, and don't do more than half lot
01[13:14] {Threei}  DE can be jumpy
[13:14] {Alexs} k
[13:14] {dino} market can stay irrational longer than i can stay solvent
01[13:14] {Threei}  yup
01[13:14] {Threei}  this is exactly how market gets those who believe in their "logic"
[13:14] {dino} don't think, just react to setups
01[13:15] {Threei}  overbought gets overbloughter, then overboughtest
01[13:15] {Threei}  and then it gets bought some more
01[13:15] {Threei}  before finally reversing
01[13:15] {Threei}  I learned it very hard way attempting to short KTEL in 20-30
01[13:15] {Threei}  thank goodness I already started realizing what market is at that point
01[13:16] {Threei}  and took my loss, however big it was
[13:16] {dino} been there buddy, almost lost it all back then
01[13:16] {Threei}  if I didn't it would end my trading career
[13:16] {patel} what is KTEL

[14:28] {dptl} hmm.....
[14:29] {dptl} i think i need another break
01[14:30] {Threei}  you need to wake up in time
01[14:30] {Threei}  you would be up solidly for the day
[14:30] {jdetente} in profit preservation mode now. Still good for the day...not as good but hey that's the way it goes
[14:30] {jdetente} sometimes you eat the bear...sometimes it eats you
[14:31] {dptl} ye, but for some reason i didt, wich makes me think, what is going on....
[14:31] {jdetente} need to treat it like a JOB dp
[14:32] {dptl} heh.....you have no idea jd....what i do for this
[14:32] {dptl} and did
[14:32] {dptl} for long time
01[14:33] {Threei}  you present it as if there is some external force keeping you from being profitable
01[14:33] {Threei}  "I do everything right, yet it doesn't wotk"
[14:33] {jdetente} what I am saying is that you wouldn't be hours late for a job in an office
[14:34] {jdetente} so with your own money and risk on the table...treat it the way you would a 9-5er
01[14:34] {Threei}  especially knowing it's the most productive hour
[14:34] {dptl} it may sound finny....but..makes me wonder Vad sometimes:)
01[14:34] {Threei}  well... it does sound finny :)
[14:35] {dptl} i know..
01[14:35] {Threei}  but I watch you for a good while now,
01[14:35] {Threei}  and believe me, I see self-sabotage very clearly
[14:36] {Les} DE break of low
[14:36] {Les} .85?
01[14:36] {Threei}  traers are not born or made by someone
01[14:36] {Threei}  traders are self-made
01[14:36] {Threei}  not sure about this break
[14:36] {Les} k
01[14:37] {Threei}  you get hit, you treat it like a lesson
01[14:37] {Threei}  you think about it, make your conclusions and correct the course
01[14:37] {Threei}  instead, you seem to just get back in the game with the same behavior as before
01[14:37] {Threei}  no corrections, no changes
01[14:37] {Threei}  byut somehow excpect different result
01[14:38] {Threei}  simple question for you to ponder over the weekend:
01[14:39] {Threei}  how many times by now you started Taoist Trader, only to drop again instead of making it your bible?
[14:39] {Les} SLW .90 breadkown is tempting...
[14:39] {Les} yet GLD pops a little higher
01[14:39] {Threei}  it is...
01[14:40] {Threei}  yeah, GLD is not confirming
[14:40] {Les} miners aren't following.... yet
[14:40] {patel} Need to relieve some stress. Gotta find me a chinese massage place.
01[14:40] {Threei}  maybe we need to decouple them for a while
[14:40] {Les} go find a martial sport in your area
[14:40] {Les} Vad and Mark led me to Aikido which is feeding back into my trading...slowly
[14:41] {patel} Who is Mark???
[14:41] {Les} Hey MARK!!
[14:41] {nemo} I didn't tell you to go jump around in pajamas
[14:41] {Les} led me
