Haven't heard that one but I recently picked up the 
"George W. Sings Strisan" CD.  After all she has been sticking her nose in 
his business for years.
 
Good luck and good trading,

  Dimpil,
   
   I would like to know why anyone on this 
  list is wasting our time talking about Madonna? If she works real hard, the 
  best anyone can hope, if so inclined to bother,  is that she will return 
  to a normal life, and then who cares? I fail to see the relevancy of Madonna 
  to gaining success as a trader? Anyone checked out the George Soros Holiday 
  CD? <G> 
   
  Regards,
  Norman

    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

        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

              Your Trading Doc 
              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.

              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).

              Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
