Well, yes, I mentioned that: never, ever give up....I am definitely in that, but when............this "patience-persistence" attitude becomes pride and stubborn????? stupid donkey-stubbornness?????
This is definitely blackhole for me: is the universe through my soul whispering: stop? Enough? Or simply: trust the sweet unfolding process and move on?

A regular 8 meters jumper makes around 7500 jumps per year. Lets say the guy practices 15 jumps per training, twice a day. Not counting the other different kinds of jumps performed as a part of the whole package. So, there are at least 150 jumps per week, being practiced. I feel it, the annual jumps number to go over 10,000 jumps. In a 8 meters jumping career, easily 50,000 jumps were made. Maybe even 100,000. Not an expert. But it does make sense to me. Mastering the 6 meters jumping, when one is just a hobby jumper, will require 1/2 of the 8

Agreed. You have to be fully present to be doing the analysis, planning entry/exit, and walking away when it isn't right. Even a newbie like me has found that I make poor decisions when I am quick and hurried and not fully in the moment.
If in doubt, paddle out!

In over 20 years of trading the most consistent principle I follow: The conservative approach will always pay off in the long run

I've been in the markets for 22 years. The first thing I need to say is that every trader is different. What works for one person may not work for another. I'm sharing a principle that has worked for me. I adopted this approach to trading over time. What does this mean exactly?

Taking profits in the face of uncertainty means you can't look back. Whether the market goes up or down after your exit. You made the right call. Would've, Could've, Should've. That's not in my trading vocabulary after taking any amount of profit. Big or small.


Taking any excessive risk is out of my nature. When I do take risk, it's actually not risky in my mind. I pass up a lot of opportunities because the conviction isn't there for whatever reason. It could be that the fundamentals aren't fully supporting it. It could be something else. The point is, it's uncommon for a trade to present itself where everything lines up and to give me the conviction to take on that risk. In remaining conservative I don't generally consider taking on risk if I don't have to. When I do, I take it aggressively and it usually works out.


Breakevens feel like wins. If I am in a trade that works against me and don't feel good, especially if fundamentals change, I have one goal. Get out. It's important to get out without a loss, which usually takes some sort of exit strategy. But after that, it's time to regroup, learn from any mistakes, and be ready for the next opportunity. Many times, in hindsight I could've let the trade run. But not always. Hindsight is 20/20. Staying conservative pays of over time.


Opportunity knocks. Staying conservative keeps me out of the market a lot. One thing is for sure. To win over the long term in the markets, you can't hunt. Opportunity will present itself. A trade should never feel forced or rushed.


That's a little of what I've learned in my trading journey.

I'd like to share something on a more personal level, that I think is in line with the theme of this thread. Stress doesn't have any value. There's no such thing as luck. Things happen for a very good reason. The universe has a strange way of working itself out. So sometimes you gotta keep your head up and keep on keeping on. Don't worry about the overrated destination. It won't be where you'll end up anyways. Life's about the journey. Enjoy the journey.

Alright, good therapy session. I appreciate this thread. I hope I posted generally in line with the rules. I'll leave tonight with this:

Thank you ET for this precious contribution. It warms my heart that is thread is of some value. I feel indeed very much alone on this journey of merging my financial well-being and that of others, together with the unfolding process of my inner exploration as a normal human being.

You contribution here gives me confidence that what I want to share with all the traders is "right, just & worthy": the direct link between the spiritual & financial/material world of form.

To me, one is not better or more precious than the other. They are both part of the ever unfolding myriad of life forms in the universe.

Amen brother. ET delivering the sermon like no one else. Thanks for sharing. Loved the complete post, but like the mantra of "keep on keeping on"! If you keep plugging and tweaking and improving yourself along the way, things do have a way of working themselves out.

But then: WHEN becomes the persistence pride, stubbornness, self-destructive????? For me THE blind-spot.

What about the idea that: YOU are a God, in you true nature and thus invoking your own true natural jewelled nature is sufficient????

{quote} I think this is almost certain The question is, will your potential leverage hold the possible swings? This is the reason I am not in the market atm... I like to enter with high(er) leverage, take profits and GO If I would be doing without leverage, would just BUY and HOLD, do nothing, wait for it to raise to 1600+

Still is a total mystery.

Well auricfor you are completely right. You have a point here.

During rare moments of grace, I get a taste of the very alive essence of stillness, and to hear that stillness speaks:
