I wouldn't say it was the most important one ever one ever just an extremely basic lesson in expectancy and probability: neither of which are of any use until you have a significant, forward tested sample size to run through a monte carlo sim, after which you can know your: probability of going bust, expected draw etc etc

Thanks Aliassmith

That is a really nice example of "Statistics for Dummies"

It may explain why people jump into something new without giving what their actually working on a chance

This one's for those who are interested (seeing as its the ECB show today, let me show you the fractal I observed last time Draghi managed to talk down the EURO and create this negative interest rates expectation that the market has been going wild about all month...

So this was the fractal leading into the day, the fact that the ECB placed interest rate changes on hold prompted a move high (as those who were trading that day will recollect -c'mon it was only a month ago ;) )

Image

Imagine what it must be like to know what Draghi was going to do before [s]anyone else[/s] anyone other than his inner circle and their friends...?

As I watched this unfold, I was afraid... very afraid...

I was afraid that one day I may be successful and all the changes that come with such success...

Its scary to think that your life may be completely different in 5 years from now, where now money is such a important commodity for survival, to one where money is so readily accessible that it becomes a afterthought and not a focus...

I don't need a lot to survive and don't want to be stinking rich, I like to keep things simple,

When I see how 'easy' (I say this with the deepest respect) some traders make this profession I get worried, I donno its almost like I feel that its not possible for me to get to that level, so that is also a worry...

And if I ever get that good, then the worry will be things like the NSA and Black Helicopters...

I don't know if any of this makes any sense but that's the head space I am in right now...
