Why You Should Study the Hell Out of Yourself as a Trader

What if you knew that, at times, you were a great trader?

What if you knew that, at other times, you were a really poor trader?

If you truly knew those things, there would be one overriding priority:  to figure out what you were doing when you were great and what you were doing when you were poor.  In other words, you would study the hell out of yourself.  You would collect as much information about your trades and your trading as possible to figure out what made you tick.

You wouldn't try to be a different trader.  You wouldn't try to be like anyone else.  You would try to become more consistent with your great trading and more aware of your poor trading.

You would break your good trading down into components and see what you're doing when you're trading successfully and unsuccessfully.

You would break your personal life down into components and see what you're doing when you're most and least successful.

In short, you would try to become more of the trader you already are when you trade greatly.  

Here's a self-coaching exercise to get you started with your study of yourself:

Women and children overboard

It's the  Catch-22  of clinical trials: to protect pregnant women and children from the risks of untested drugs....we don't test drugs adequately for them. In the last few decades , we've been more concerned about the harms of research than of inadequately tested treatments for everyone, in fact. But for "vulnerable populations,"  like pregnant women and children, the default was to exclude them. And just in case any women might be, or might become, pregnant, it was often easier just to exclude us all from trials. It got so bad, that by the late 1990s, the FDA realized regulations and more for pregnant women - and women generally - had to change. The NIH (National Institutes of Health) took action too. And so few drugs had enough safety and efficacy information for children that, even in official circles, children were being called "therapeutic orphans."  Action began on that, too. There is still a long way to go. But this month there was a sign that

Not a word was spoken (but many were learned)

Video is often used in the EFL classroom for listening comprehension activities, facilitating discussions and, of course, language work. But how can you exploit silent films without any language in them? Since developing learners' linguistic resources should be our primary goal (well, at least the blogger behind the blog thinks so), here are four suggestions on how language (grammar and vocabulary) can be generated from silent clips. Split-viewing Split-viewing is an information gap activity where the class is split into groups with one group facing the screen and the other with their back to the screen. The ones facing the screen than report on what they have seen - this can be done WHILE as well as AFTER they watch. Alternatively, students who are not watching (the ones sitting with their backs to the screen) can be send out of the classroom and come up with a list of the questions to ask the 'watching group'. This works particularly well with action or crime scenes with
