Good, very good, Bramble.
The irony is that risk intolerance leads to even greater risk.
I will expand on this:~
If you are to evolve as an effective trader, you have to act via the TP according to what is laid out before you enabling you to observe impartially and to act accordingly.
You must not succumb to acting via the HP according to what you feel ought to happen or should happen, or otherwise. The HP cannot be tamed and trained to do this because its construction does not allow it.
If you cannot or will not construct a properly armoured and completely segregated TP you ought not to be trading at all with the serious expectation of repeated bullseyes. This is because of the risk of compounding disadvantages which emerge as consequential components of having emotions and opinions. These are a product of the nature of humanity itself, expressed via the HP, and cannot be changed, let alone eliminated.
All of this is OK for the public. When we speak of the "public" we mean civilians in the middle of a war zone. This is not detrimental or otherwise. The public has the right to aspire to share in the wealth that surrounds it. Some members of the public may aspire to become traders. Traders, real traders, are like battle hardened troops in a war zone. Thery are very different to civilians or even part time soldiers.
I keep on using this analogy because it is the best way to describe the problem.
Skirting and dodging around the problem does not solve it. In fact it makes it worse. Not everybody is cut out for this. I once assumed that anyone can be taught. To my horror, I found it not to be the case. Some people will never make it. If you cannot confront and overcome this you ought not to be in this theatre.
If you remain in the theatre in your HP you must accept the consequences. In your HP you ought not to be in this theatre of activity at all.
This is because a refusal to confront and overcome the above in very large measure heightens and exacerbates the risk element and the emotions attached that everyone acting via a HP is condemned to experience. No one is exempt. We as traders have to overcome this. As the process is invisible and intangible to any observer other than another trader who has developed the correct faculties, the public
who are civilians in a war zone they believe to be a funfair, do not understand or accept it. They think it is some sort of trick. They become envious and malicious as a result of them not being able to replicate it.
Therefore aspiring traders who take the wrong route through this cannot and will not sustainably succeed.
The public do not see any need to undergo all this hassle, they view it as unnecessary, but of course they may be right in a lot of things, but not in this.
My post was not to contradict what it is Windle has to say, but in fact to reinforce it.
