spanish89's Daily Trading Journal!! Whooooo ;)

[shadowninja]

Methinks you're coming across as being a tad bitchy, now, Mr Charts.

 

[shadowninja]

he said "Staines", naahaaaahaaaaahaa

Wes'side.

<Cue intro jungle music... Ali in da stockmarket, I said Ali in da stockmarket...>

Boyakasha! Today, I is checkin' out da stockmarket with none other than da main man 'imself, Ben Burgerking of da Fed. Respeck. Now, I's been wonderin' what da Fed 'as to do wit da stockmarket? Do ya go in an' arrest dodgy traders?

And what is da inside-her trading? Is it like when I's with my Michelle all romantic and I is inside her and she is asking for money?

 

[Vrothdar]

I'm finding some of the stereotypes being thrown around in this thread the last day or two a bit difficult to swallow. Being tarred with the same brush as Spanish is not nice.

I've met just as many clueless idiots from generations before mine as I have clueless idiots from my own. The difference between them, in my experience, is that the idiots in the generations before mine are so convinced of their superiority and intelligence that they fail to listen to *anything* that is said against them. The idiots in my generation seem to listen and then decide to ignore.

 

[shadowninja]

In either case, it would be the ego coming into play. And anyone with a big ego in the trading arena is going to be stung sooner or later... they'll refuse to accept that they are wrong about a trade until it's too late.

 

[Vrothdar]

I'm not disputing that at all, just saying that some of the stereotyping is just that - stereotyping. As somebody who's not turning 21 until later this year and, by age, could be considered part of the same demographic as Spanish judging by his avatar, I find said (ageist) stereotypes somewhat offensive.

 

[shadowninja]

Thing is, stereotypes are usually right. It is up to the individuals to transcend the stereotypes rather than conform to them. At the same time, it is up to individuals outside a given group to give an individual a chance. Looking at the specific case, most of the senior and very experienced members of T2W have taken lots of time to give tons of advice but it's all been ignored, or even worse, thrown back in their faces with insults.

Masq is one such person who's in the same category as Spanish but has a much more mature attitude, transcending the typical stereotype, and thus will go far in life.

 

[Vrothdar]

I'm not going to go any further (in this thread) than to say I disagree with you about stereotypes usually being right.

However you're right in saying that it is down to the individual to transcend a stereotype. Convincing somebody that a stereotype is incorrect will tell them little about you. On the other hand, behaving or performing in such a way that your non-conformity to the stereotype is evident will tell them all they need to know. Why should the individual care about the prejudice somebody has towards others if their own performance is such that negative stereotypes are not applied to them?

I think I've just argued a good case against me having posted in this thread in the first place...*sigh* There's a lesson in there

:edit: Added in part of a missing sentence

 

[shadowninja]

negative stereotypes

Ah, we may have been slightly talking at cross-purposes. I meant good and bad stereotypes, not just the negative ones. Perhaps, I should have used the term generalisation?

 

[Vrothdar]

I referred specifically to negative stereotypes there because, in my opinion, there is little reason to contest a positive stereotype that has been applied to you, regardless of whether or not one conforms to it, as the result is the same as not contesting a negative one: You'll be viewed in a less favourable way than you previously were.

I think the terms stereotype and generalisation are pretty interchangeable although I think it's fair to say that the word stereotype implies more negativity than generalisation which is where I tripped up.

The biggest problem with a generalisation, in my view, is that the belief of a stereotype is self fulfilling in the sense that the holder of the belief will tend to (mis)interpret their perceptions in a way that will support the belief they already hold.

That said, so long as you're aware of this tendency generalisations can be useful as an energy/time saving mechanism.

 

[spanish89]

How has this now become a pyschological thread about ageism??

 

[spanish89]

OK I said I wouldn't post again re-S89, but having glanced through this morning, I see he is repeatedly asking for lifts to a meeting:

So no car.
No motor bike.
No bicycle.
No roller skates.
Too poor to afford a train.
Too poor to afford a bus.

The successful trader who tells newbies what to do, huh?

Down and Out in Staines and Surrey.

Whoever gives him a lift, stop off on the way at Chessington World of Adventures so he can take you for a ride.
You'll have to pay for him, though........

We are now criticising people for the town in the county of surrey that their house is in??


And i do have a bike, train/bus money, rollerskates...

But if you had checked before making your immature bitchy little comments you would have seen theres no bus or train from staines to chessington,

And im not going to rollerskate 15miles through crowded towncentres on a staturday morning and then blade down the motorway for 3hours just to get to a pub!!

You are truly amazing,S89
You have a remarkable habit of getting things completely wrong, consistently
I live in Surrey
I know Staines well.
I know Chessington well

It's about time you realised living in Staines that you live in Middlesex, not Surrey

Try getting a train from Staines to Clapham Junction and changing to Chessington.

http://www.policespecials.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=69167

YOU HAVE REPEATEDLY TOLD PEOPLE THAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY WORKING AS A SPECIAL CONSTABLE. YET ON 2nd JUNE 2008 YOU WROTE ON A POLICE CHAT FORUM THAT YOU HAD ONLY JUST APPLIED ON THAT DATE.

ON THE MANY DATING SITES YOU FREQUENT, YOU STATE YOUR AGE AS 20.
HOWEVER ON THE SAME POLICE CHAT FORUM YOU CLEARLY STATE THAT YOU ARE 18

ARE YOU A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR OR JUST A COMPLETE expeletive deleted ??


Aloha everyone,
I sent my application to be a special constable off today 1st class, so probably will arrive actually on the correct desk by Wednesday - Friday at earliest.

Does anyone know what the current average time delay is, and if its because theres not an assesent day for like a few more months??

Once they recieve my application how long will it be roughly before i get a letter in the post giving me details about when i can come in for interview/tests/physical??


(On the application form i mentioned in the previous offences section- Never been offender, but have been involved in investiagtions due to being victim).

Will that actually count against me in any way though??



I had spent my whole life since 8years old planning on joing the police as sson as i left college (was going to go spain and join spanish police).
However 7months ago i met who is now my fiance, and as i have now finished college and actually am looking at the relaity of working life, i have changed my career plans since the hours wouldn't be fair on her i dont feel.


Im now 18, 19 in October, however im worried that i may still be unofficially classed as 'too young' to join.


However in regards of life experience i already have-

2 years of college (A-level in law, and B-tec in travel and tourism, so very experienced in dealing with all types of angry people).

Over 2 years n a half years previous experience of charity work, working with many different types of people.

Run my own sucessfull import & export shipping company form China worldwide for over 1year now, and growing weekly.

Done qute abit of work as a partime body-model.

And now am also a fulltime self-employed stockmarket trader, mainly trading oil.



So i do have alot of life experience already, and have always wanted to work in police, even if its unpaid work.

Im just very scared i wont get a chance to.



Im not worried about the physical tests, as due to the nature of some of the work ive done the requirement weights and times for specials are just basic warm up levels.

However i am very worried about the interview and written tests, because knowing my luck i always endup somehow mucking most things up by just incredibly tiny annoying little mistakes!!




Sorry its been so long a read.. lol

But any current info on roughly how long i will be waiting till i reach all the different stages of the process, and a few examples of the types of questions that are on the written tests / and in interviews will be greatly appreciated.



Thanks

Its been over 1 and a half months now and a lot has happened...

But nothing has changed in the end!! :'(


She and her bf brokeup after a few weeks and she started talking to me again, and me and her metup and kissed and cuddled abit.

But then a few days later she had a new boyfriend and i was gone again.. :'(


He cheated on her after 3days, and so she was taking to me a little bit again.

She then started talking to me by txt and was saying we would be getting back together soon and that she missed me.... :')



But then 1 n half weeks ago she found a new boyfriend, and she and him ae now really really close and lovey so much!! :'(

I asked some girl to just add him on msn and chat 2 him, and guess what, he spent whole evening flirting with hr and talking sexual and arranged to meetup n cheat on his gf (my ex)!!

I told her this lastnite and she 1st got angry at me, and then cried and sayed she was so hurt and we talked on the phone cos i was trying to comfort her...


But then today she ignored me all day and now told me hes admitted to it and they ok with it.. :'(



I just wnat her back so so sooo much but scared i will never get my chance now.. :'(


I WOULDN'T WORRY MATE, SHE'S AS ROUGH AS A BADGER ANYWAY.
BUT MUSTA BEEN QUITE A NOVEL EXPERIENCE FOR YOU, FUMBLING WITH A FEMALE OF THE SPECIES ?

Ouch, that really is painful.. I really think MrGecko is right. This is going a little too far. A trading journal has really turned into something else. The facts are this, Spanish lost a good percentage of his account, and "as a fulltime stickmarket trader specialising in oil" that really is not a nice feeling.

Spanish you really need to ask youself, how much can you afford to lose... Based on your comments, if you are pushed out, you will struggle to buy yourself socks. I'm not trying to teach you risk management, its different for everyone, and i personally don't think I'm anywhere near as good with exits to pick perfect tops and bottoms to even remotely recommend you how to do it, but you need to really concentrate on that point. how much can you lose without being worried?

Also consider developing a system by which you define your stop losses and your position sizes. Consider a method you are comfortable with, do you want to have 2-3 big trades a year or do you want to have small profits all the time. At the moment you are concentrating on the small, frequent profits, thus as has been said over and over again, cut your losses short. its not like your the only one doing this (letting your losses run), im sure all of us are guilty of this mistake when we have an amazing feeling about something and it all turns to sh!t so we procrastinate, and lose more.

And lastly, never ever listen to everyone else about what will happen in the market. if richard dennis or paul tudor jones come on here and tell us what to do, you shouldnt take the advice, no matter how good their feelings about it are. they are wrong too. maybe invest in some literature? read some books. if you read that is.

good luck man!

p.s. after a big loss its a good idea to take a breather

 

[rathcoole_exile]

Ivan,
have you read the entire thread ?
all your good points and wise advice have been hammered at him since day one, all to no avail.
he simply will not listen to advice and is convinced he is "right"
save your breath man.

 

[ivantchourilov]

Gecko,

Get stuffed. This guy is a serial liar and a fantasist.

Dont you come boo-hooing when he's in the news in a few years time
after going doo-lally and ends up stationed in Broadmoor with all the other nuts.

Would you like your seat reserving on the yellow bus as well !!!!!!!

you never exaggerated the truth to attract girls when you were 18-19? ego is one of the greatest things the markets hurt, and honesty to yourself is one of the greatest things it ensgraves. i understand you are probably older, and have more experience in the markets, however one of the greatest downfalls of humanity is that we rarely think from the other persons shoes. in spanish's position, a kid who just finished school and has no idea what to do with his life, struggling to keep a girl and has no pretty much no money, wouldnt you want to impress people by saying a) your older b) your better than you really are?

the thing is, this is like a greek tragedy. everyone knows the end, however the end response is what we were waiting for. *sigh* human nature. drown the puppies before they grow up into wolves.

haha i have read the entire thread, quite a read, lol. i know its been hammered in, in fact i actually have emphasised this point before as well. however the difference is that now he has suffered a loss, and the advise may just go through his big iron head

 

[spanish89]

I live in san francisco now??

I wont say no if your offeiring me a flat over there mate... :cheesy::clap:



I could rise to these immature little bitch fights racothe is trying to start,
but at the end of teh day this is just a ****ing website with a load of random people behind screen in their own houses, and his immaturity just makes me laugh tbh so keep it up mate if it turn you on!! :cheesy:


But instead lets focus just on trading (not the styyle of how we trade cos thats irrelevant at end of the day),
Lets just focus on calls pre market opens and the cash result at the end of the day in % of account size.


Racothe likes to think im crap and hes an expert....

So instead of coming on here posting little bitchy comments, im asking you to start your own trading yournal and post your pre-market forecast and calls, and then at end of the day post a screen shot of your results,
so then we can all see if your all talk or if you do actually deliver the cash resluts at the end of the day!! :cheesy::cheesy:

Spanish represents a small proportion of the Bullsh!t that crops up here.

Infact, One could easily argue the opposite - like it or not, Spanish puts his money where his mouth is - something he should be commended for, and something that escapes alot of the posters here. I don't have any supporting evidence, but I would hazard a guess that the proportion of posters who actually put cash up for risk, or the size of capital claimed, is far below what is the reality, which puts Spanish in the "genuine" camp IMO. The fact that he appears to be a "genuine" idiot should not detract from this important point.

Drawing on my "Car Crash" analogy earlier, it's one thing, after he's crashed into the wall, to say:

T2W: "Look, kid, we warned you. You were driving like an idiot. Crashing into a wall hurts, doesn't it? Well, it serves you right. Don't you think it's a good idea to go back to the drawing board, and listen to what you were told? By the way, you look like Baldrick."

It's another to walk up to the wreckage and smack him around, reminding him of what crashing into a wall feels like.

One is "tough love", the other is bullying.

It should be clear to all that he is young, impressionable, naïve, and not necessarily the sharpest tool in the box. With regard to trading, he has been an arrogant little sh!t, and treated as such (rightly so). But to exacerbate any non-trading related circumstances as an excuse to continue a personal vendetta is, frankly, right out of order.

Spanish,

Look mate, you are really starting to p!ss some people off now. A guy in your position should be looking to make friends, not enemies. You have just wiped 1/3rd of your account out, mainly because you kept on insisting that it was only you that had the right approach, and the rest of us didn't know what we were talking about. Would you care to reconsider that?

Secondly, stop going on about your predictions, because they are cr@p. And stop going on about the people who are making money from you recommedations, because they are idiots.

Thirdly, stop challenging people to prove that they are trading profitably. It is just never going to happen - some aren't trading at all, other are, but are not permitted to post company records, others just don't want to (after all, it's none of your business). That no-one will answer your challenge does not, by default, make you correct in any respect.

Some of the sh!t you get you deserve, some of it you don't. But you are starting to have a detrimental effect on the quality of this site, through your immature, inflamatory responses and unwillingness to learn. It's not doing your trading any good, it just makes people happier to see you fail.

Sort it out, will you?
