(studies on that around the place).

Yeah think I've seen one too on the correlation between skill and performance

If it was also about skill, then Philippoussis would have been a legend (to continue the tennis theme). He had skill in spades....alas...


"Three types of evidence suggest that the substrates of cognition
are shared with, or open to extensive influence by, the substrates of
mood. The first comes from functional neuroimaging. The other
two come from behavioral studies of cognition. These include
studies of the effects of depression on cognition, already men-
tioned, and of the effects of laboratory-induced moods on the
cognitive processes of normal healthy participants".

Anna Kournikova would have put me off my game

Strange bending of the facts GB. He won over 6 mil and made the top 20 in the world for four years. If thats not good enough then I really do need to see a decent thread of yours where you bring together your pseudo psychology and trading over 50-100 trades. You know to really show us you can walk ya talk..... ?? :freak3:

Yeh has good 'game', but his tennis game didn't come close to potential.

His list of 'conquests' is impressive.

Holy smokes, got my statement today and they took out 755 odd dollars for fees and commissions....

Thats 19.88 USD per trade or 39.79 a round trip WTF!

oops, looks like two days into one because of the holiday. Still, its 5.07 each side, gotta be a cheaper broker.

Which broker ?

Were there other fees like for example, currency conversions for trading Euro contracts settled from a US dollar account ?

Brutally rotational day today, market stuck in 10 tick ranges. Chewed through a bunch of brokerage and ended down -400, plus a ton of expenses again....i should have known when the market gaps that far down that it would grind around, the Hang Seng does that allot.

I trade a system. Reason for this is I lose my confidence trading with 100% discretion. When I used to trade that way (discretion), I noticed a huge correlation between confidence and profits. I went looking for evidence in the literature and found it. It's hard, but I recognize the top guys (like yourself ) trade without a system.

LOL

I'm open to learn better ways. My understanding over a few different competitive performance fields has always been,

Skill=repeatable edge above other participants=profit/success=confidence.

If you can find evidence it starts the other way,

confidence=repeatable edge above other participants=profit/success

I have coaches in multi million dollar industries who will make you a rich man to implement such knowledge. Are you willing to back up such extraordinary claims with "evidence in the literature" that actually resulted in causation of success rather than some theoretical or short term lab based results?? Again if you can implement it we are both very rich men by the end of the year,


Oh wait....

I went through a process of devising a proper scientific trial to test it a few years ago. What would my cut be (if it worked, that is)?

So you actually just have an untested hypothesis? One that is counter to current accepted theory!!

What would my cut be (if it worked, that is)?

Again if you hold the key to success name your price.

I'm assuming you're serious, so let me think about it for a while. The more I consider it, the more I realize the enormous amount of work required to even set it up. Participants would have to be decieved to some degree and there's ethical considerations there. There's lots of ways it could be done, and I'm thinking up news ways even now. Could be costly to run. So many considerations.

[edit] I'm starting to remember all the reasons why I gave up on it. But since you know the right people, I'll certainly give it some more thought over the next few weeks.

Remember that time GB was on another forum ...... the good ol' days

 

[CanOz]

Today's ECB day, so a slow start to the day. I haven't had a thorough look yet, but a cursory glance makes me think we could have a significant low in, So accordingly we'll need to start looking for some good rallies. The strength of these rallies though will give us some information on how sustainable it could be...

 

[CanOz]

The low in the US seems more convincing than the low in the US. However we'll see today as the EU session was likely nearly done when the late rally in the US occurred. The VX has also hit some resistance. I'm not convinced that the decline is finished yet, but we should get a decent rally...

Asia has turned negative again in the arvo, spicy lunch?

 

[Gringotts Bank]

I never liked the "When the US sneezes..." scenario. Up until last decade, everything American was coveted like crazy.

Then there was the Australian obsession with everything European - coffee, cycling, Gagennau appliances, Tuscan this, Tuscan that, etc etc.

Now we have a daily apprehension of "what's happening in China???".

Will Australian media ever value the true worth of its own population and culture? Aussie news sources are like pop-star obsessed teenagers.

Well thats one thing about the markets, its all one global game now. Its just a 'global handshake' really, Asia hands off to Europe hands off to the US hands off to Asia...The good thing about the US and some Asian markets is they trade 24 hours a day pretty much, with enough liquidity to gt in and out if you had to, to hedge.

This time around China is having a bigger effect on the global markets, much bigger than any other correction that I've witnessed since 2007-08.

With China, its good that we have Hong-Kong to kind of balance out the sentiment, as well as Japan. Sometime when the "national team" has intervened on the mainland, the HK markets are still relatively down...

Looks like Europe will gap down again on the open....

Yes it's like a bridge between East and West, which grants it quite a unique position/role in world markets.
