Semper Augustus, tulips and Futures

Now here's a little story about Semper Augustus. You can check the facts on Wikipedia... Semper Augustus is the name the Dutch gave to one of the first tulips they took back to The Netherlands around the year 1550. In Latin Semper Augustus means Always August (the month of August was named after a Roman Emperor) wich of course implies that this flour is so beautiful that it seems like summer never ends.
In these days tulip bulbs took two years to grow and bloom. The thriving city of Amsterdam wa…

There is a mix of trading and psyhological tips in your blogs, this is why its interesting to read  even for those people who are not involved in trading that much.

Strategies are tragedies

Learning the craft of trading also means: setting aside all things that give you false hope. In my blog Leaching other people's hope i make a promise to give back Pandora's box to those who trade without succes and thereby subsidize my wins. But before giving hope back, i need to be sure that this hope has the potential to become reality. So in this blog i'm going to destroy hope in winning strategies. Reason: they do not exist.
Now before you empty your Kalashnikov on me, please read on. I'm no…

Thanks. Hope i'll remember that. I'll tell the starlings as well, cause i'm pretty sure they are not aware of the fact that they are a murmuration and not just a bunch of birds.

Do not use indicators

That is a way of entering a room full of traders: "Do not use indicators". One thing's for sure: discussion. As i promised to give back Pandora's box to traders who find it hard to win substantially, this is lesson 4: do not use indicators!
I have nothing against these things, in fact i use one myself (MACD), but when learning how to trade with profit, they sort of blind you with promises they never keep. Like a second hand car salesman: you know he's going to screw you, and still you buy that c…

Discipline is the road to success

In my last blog about trading, i urged traders to ignore personal motives when opening a trade. This concerned emotions like greed, eagerness, fear or doubt. Ignore your feelings, do not feel! was the message.
In this blog it's getting even worse.
Now i will strongly advise you to ignore more feelings. Feelings of resistance, feelings of joy, feelings of boredom and feelings of haste or pressure. Do not feel! is again the message. Befehl ist befehl is the message here.
Who's befehl
