Diabetes Deadly for Weighty Women

Posted by admin in Diabetes Treatment

When you receive the Seal you become conscious of how much you weigh and make an effort to lose extra weight. Now that is more crucial than ever since new studies link obesity, diabetes, and cancer. Four new studies show a link between obesity, diabetes, and cancer. And the link between diabetes and excess weight is already well known–extra weight puts you at greater risk to develop diabetes.

When you have diabetes, your need for insulin affects how likely you are to get cancer. But it is different for men and women. If you are a woman your risk of getting some kinds of cancer increases with insulin use.The information from these studies was released Friday December 7 2007 at the Annual International Conference on the Frontiers of Cancer Prevention Research which is held by the American Association for Cancer Research.

The results did not surprise scientists, who have thought along similar lines. Diabetics use a lot of insulin which along with other hormonal factors, increases cell production so more cells grow, including cancerous cells. The first study was done by the University of Minnesota, and those results showed that women with diabetes have a 50 percent greater chance of developing colorectal cancer.

The researchers tracked over 45,000 women who were taking part in breast cancer detection programs for over 8 years. Though they did not conclude exactly what is causing the increased risk, insulin use is likely the culprit. That was what the second study concluded. Diabetic women have a 300 percent greater chance of developing breast cancer, and their use of large amounts of insulin is probably the reason.

The second study, from Yale University, looked at C-peptide, a marker of insulin production, for 8 years. It found that the upper third of high C-peptide levels were 200 percent more likely to die from breast cancer than the lowest third measured.

The third study was not as much about diabetes as about the weight gain that so often causes it. This study was done at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. It showed that when women are found to have invasive breast cancer they should not gain any weight, because if they do, they will be much more likely to die from the breast cancer.

Several thousand women in the study were classed according to the body mass index. Women in the obese class were 2.4 times more likely to die of breast cancer than women in the normal body mass class.

Fat tissue produces more estrogen, and estrogen grows cancer cells. So the women are at greater risk for cancer and dying of it whether they are diabetic or overweight, or both. And the results with the men? The men are fortunate compared to the women. Testosterone like estrogen grows more cancer cells. But insulin reduces the amount of testosterone in men, so their chances of prostate cancer when diabetic are significantly reduced.

When you are sealed, God shows you how to begin taking care of your body, and how to change your weight by eating less and eating healthier foods. And you will stay healthy because you change spiritually when you receive the Seal.

What Benefit Of Physical Fitness Is The Best?

Posted by admin in Weight Loss Exercise

If you were to pick one benefit of physical fitness that you thought was the best, what would it be? Would it be that you look much better and get compliments? How about the fact that you’ll live longer? Or maybe having more energy throughout the day?

Whatever benefit of physical fitness is the most important to you is the reason why you should start working out and eating healthier.

It doesn’t matter how stupid or how amazing the benefit is, just that you take part in getting healthier. People all over the world have different benefits of physical fitness that they’re exercise and eating healthy to achieve. Some people do it for prevention, others do it for the fun of it, and others only start when they need to get better or something bad will happen.

Hopefully you aren’t in that third category I just mentioned, but if you are I have a great solution for you at the bottom of the article.

Personally for me, the biggest benefit of physical fitness right now is that I love feeling strong and athletic. Sure, it’s great that it’s helped me achieve a great looking body, but that’s not my main focus.

Compared to how I used to be, I’m impressed that I can do some of the things I can now. I don’t have very good genetics and I’ve worked very hard to get as strong as I am.

But as I mentioned earlier, whatever benefit of physical fitness is the most important to you, stick to it! Don’t listen to why other people are getting in shape, only do it for yourself.

I can promise you that following this and living it will help you out in various ways. It will keep you more focused, stop you from quitting, and give you much better progress in whatever it is that you’re trying to do.

Now, if the benefit of physical fitness you’re trying to figure out is either 1) more energy, 2) a better looking body, 3) getting in shape in the quickest amount of time possible, 4) for health reasons, or 5) to get stronger/more athletic, then I highly suggest taking a look at my website below.

How to Make $100-$200 a Day Trading

Posted by admin in Create A Blog

Does making $100-200 a day within a two hour time window sound appealing to you? Of course it does, who wouldnt?

The real question is are you willing to put in the time, effort and money to learn to do this? We might lose a few people with that question.

The final question is do you have $30,000 of risk capital to make this money and are you willing to lose that? Ok, that eliminates most of you, so you can hit the BACK button here. Sorry, but better you know now, than later. Bye.

Still here?

If so, you probably did the math and figured even at $100 profit a day times 20 trading days is $2000 a month which equates to $24,000 a year in profits which is an 80% return on investment. Thats an amazing return. Good thinking. The only problem is if you are just starting out, cut that figure by 80% if you are lucky. Thats the time, money and effort part. But that doesnt mean you wont get there, it just means you have to work your way there, slowly. You can hit the BACK button now

Still here?

If you are still reading, then there is hope, but its a long journey. Let us not fool anyone here. Trading is a skill that has to be taught but only to those who truly desire to learn. We call this hunger. The most costly way to gain hunger is to blow out your account and lose a ton of money in the process. We call this the learning curve. You get so deprived of effective trading methods that the process of elimination and contrast draws you to what eventually works and doesnt work. From here, the trader seeks out to fill in the void in his understanding of the markets and methods (if he lasts that long), unfortunately, he has no more access to capital. That is the tragedy of trading.

For all intents and purposes, we want to trim the learning curve as much as possible. Yes, it is POSSIBLE. Just like the markets, we like to let others test the support and resistance levels and then step in on confirmed breakouts. This way we avoid the risk ourselves. When learning how to trade profitably, you can also avoid the pitfalls by learning from the experience of others.

First, let me start off by saying, making money trading the market is not hard (if you know what you are doing). The hard part is keeping it. These are two separate statements. In order to even relate, you must have already earned your way in the form of experience and effort with learning the methods. Lets also get something straight. There are no shortcuts in this game. This isnt a cheeseball infomercial and there are no twelve part video/dvd series to buy.

How these statements pertain to you as a trader depends on which side of line you are standing. Are you on the inside or the outside? The inside simply means you have already built a solid foundation in regards to knowing and executing the methods effectively. The outside is everything else.

Heres a quick test to see where you stand:

Answer yes or no:
1) Can you identify a pup and mini pup pattern?
2) Can you identify a prime setup and perfect storm?
3) Can you identify the four parts of trend?
4) Can you explain a channel widening and tightening?
5) Can you spot a consolidation?
6) Can you identify a tradeable market environment as opposed to a flat and choppy untradeable market environment?
7) Can you walk away from the computer screens at any given moment?
8) Can you take a stop loss and reenter the same trade minutes later and explain why?
9) Can you determine when your premises are fading and keep stops?
10) Can you enter a trade long and reverse it short based on premise changes?
11) Do you believe a stock can be uptrending and downtrending at the same time?
12) Can you accept losses on a trading day?
13) Do you have to make money every trading day?

If you answered YES to all the above and NO to the last question, then you are already at the stage where you should be making $100-200 a day, so good trading!

If you didnt get all the answers right, then keep reading.

The first part is being able to make the money. In order to do that, you need to learn an effective trading method or system. This can take years to develop or you can learn a system someone else spent years to develop (namely me). I make my methods public so anyone who truly desires to learn it can. Naturally, being able to learn it and apply it can be separate things all together. The connecting of the two can be resolved by spending time in our interactive trading chatroom. We offer a free 10 day trial. Full membership allows the trader access to over 3,000 pages of materials and interactive privileges.

Changing your oil is not hard, if you know what you are doing. You can either figure it out yourself through trial and error or pay to have a mechanic teach you. With that thinking, the goal of UndergroundTrader.com is to put our experience to your use so that you can fend for yourself in the markets. Learning trading should be a dynamic real time experience just like the markets. This is what we do every day. Here is a sample log of a day in the trading pit http://www.undergroundtrader.com/samplelog.html and a sample trade alert http://www.undergroundtrader.com/graphics/jay/

Apply for a free trial and you will have access to the trial trader training slide slow which has all the answers to the above questions and much more. This will serve as a good starting point to building up your foundation. In addition, you will also be able to view the analysis and alerts in real time so that you can gauge the results for yourself to see if it is actually worth pursuing the effort. Hey if the results are sucking, then why even bother? Seeing is believing and first hand experience is the only true way to form an opinion.

Before this sounds too much like a pitch, let me show you a trade we played on a stock called HOKU on 7/9/2007. If this goes over your head, dont sweat it. The goal is to be able to eventually understand it.

At 12:19pm est, we alerted our members to consider buying shares of HOKU up to $11.85 based on the multi lane perfect storm setup which comprised of a 8/13 minute dual pup and mini pups along with a daily and 60 minute pup breakout. The 3 minute chart formed a nice consolidation breakout. The beauty of the perfect storm setup was the layered support levels at 12.70. Members were alerted to trim the heavier size shares up to 12.10 coil resistance at 12:24 pm est. At 12:57pm, members were alerts to trim out more shares in the 12.40 x 12.50 levels (stinky 2.50s call option strikes). We finally LOCKED the rest of the profits out in the 12.60 to 12.70s range at 1:20 pm est as it was forming a gap fill of prior daily highs, where we anticipated heavier selling. The trade played out beautifully and our members made money.

Is every trade this good? Hell no. Does my method work all the time? NO. Does it have to work all the time? NO. It only needs to work when we use it under the RIGHT circumstances— thats all that matters. The key is to know when the method is most effective and use it ONLY in those situations. This is what the real time trading pit is for. Learn and move on to sustain yourself.

Making the money is not hard, once you learn how to do it. Keeping it is the tough part. This is addressed in the pacing article. Remember, this is a long road, but if you choose to take it, the end game can be lucrative and fun. Good trading.

Botox: Reducing Fine Lines and Wrinkles, and Now Curing Migraines?

Posted by admin in Antiaging Treatment

Most people are familiar with Botox. Many of us have seen the footage on television showing a doctor injecting this clear wonder solution into the facial skin of some patient searching for the lost fountain of youth. But did you know that Botox has also moved into the arena of helping people solve some more mainstream problems such as strokes, cerebral palsy and migraines? In the past year or so, much research and experimentation has shown that this wrinkle cure is also useful in helping people with more serious medical problems.

Botox is derived from the same botulin toxin that is found in spoiled foods. A sterile and purified version of this toxin, known as Botulinum toxin type A, is what doctors use to reduce wrinkles. It is injected just under the skin. The toxin simply blocks the nerves in the muscles from receiving the signal to contract, thereby causing them to relax more. The net result is that the process of wrinkle formation is reduced. The process must be repeated every 3 to 6 months because the effect wears off.

This same muscle relaxing effect has been found to be beneficial in treating other ailments where the muscles are known to spasm or freeze up causing pain and discomfort. At the neurology clinic at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary Canada, Dr. Oksana Suchowersky has been using Botox for years to treat facial spasms and more recently, migraine headaches.

In addition, Montreal urologist Dr. Jacques Corcos, has been using Botox to treat patients with poor bladder control. By injecting Botox into the bladder of patients, they are able to live a more comfortable life, relieving them from the mercy of numerous bathroom visits.

At the University Medical Center in Texas, Dr. Gabor Racz has been using a combination of Botox and phenol injections to relieve crippling pain in patients suffering from chronic neurological syndrome. This is a condition where patients experience severe pain, burning, sensitivity and sometimes swelling, often in their hands.

At Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, in Winston-Salem, N.C., Botox is also helping stroke patients. Dr. Allison Brashear has been using Botox to help stroke victims get back to helping themselves live a more pain free life. With repeated injections, he has helped patients recover so that they can perform everyday activities without much pain. It has been estimated that perhaps 10% of stroke survivors could benefit from Botox treatments.

Since its initial approval for medical use in 1998, more and more, doctors have found important and life changing uses for Botox. The current estimate is that within 3 years, the FDA will grant approval to Botox for the treatment of migraines. So, if you simply want to take a few years off your face or stop crippling pain or correct an overactive bladder, your next trip to the doctor may very likely contain a conversation about Botox and how it can help you.

How to Calibrate a Pedometer

Posted by admin in Weight Loss Exercise

There are literally hundreds of pedometers on the market, and while many will do all
sorts of things, some of which have nothing to do with walking or running, they all
are designed to do at least one thing: measure how many steps you have taken and
use that to compute how far you have traveled. If all you are interested in is how
many steps you have taken, then clip that pedometer to your belt and start walking.
But if you want to know how far you have walked or run in a day, or a week, then
you must give the pedometer some information about yourself. Specifically, the
pedometer must know the length of your stride. This article will tell you how to
gauge that length to properly calibrate your pedometer.

First, a caveat: your stride length will vary considerably during your routine
depending on certain factors. For example, your stride length will be longer when
you are running than it is when you are walking. Your stride is likely to be shorter
when going uphill as opposed to walking on a level surface. Walking with a group
of people may cause you to move at different speeds and at different stride lengths
as you compensate for the movement of your partners. Walking a dog will give you
strides that go from very short to very long depending on the whims of your dog,
but that is for a different time. So, one of the steps will be to compensate for these
differences, if necessary.

Okay, lets begin the calibration process. You will need some place where you can
measure out a distance of about 60 to 70 feet (18.3 to 21.3 meters). The sidewalk
in front of your home is good, or a large parking lot or school yard. And you will
need a measuring device such as a 100 tape measure. You should plan on
measuring at least four stride lengths: normal walk, brisk or fast walk, jog, and run.
The procedure will be that same for all of these.

Select a starting point and mark it; then walk normally for ten paces and mark the
end. Measure the length with the tape measure and record the result. Divide the
result by twelve to give you the number of inches in each step. Repeat this
procedure for a brisk walk, a jog and a run. For all of these you might want to begin
a few paces behind the starting point that you established earlier so that you are
moving at the proper speed for that stride for all ten steps.

If you know that you will be walking, and just walking, at a regular pace during your
routine, then you can just use the stride length for walking that you calculated.
Read the instructions for entering that information into your pedometer.

If, however, you will be walking part of the time combined with running or jogging
then you will have to use an average of the measurements that you took of all of
these strides. Simply add the totals that you calculated and divide by four, or the
number of strides that you measured. This gives you a number that is less than
your running stride, but longer than your walking stride.

Some pedometers will give you the option of entering a stride length for both
walking and running, but this means that you will have to tell the pedometer when
you are walking and when you are running. That seems like a lot of trouble to go to
if you do both of those things during your regular routine. So, we will make an
adjustment for that.

There is one more step to complete in this process. Drive your car along your
regular path to determine the correct distance of that path. Then walk the same
path using your pedometer. If the pedometer gives you a distance significantly
longer or shorter than that which your cars odometer registered then you will have
to adjust the stride length that you entered into your pedometer. If you are
registering a a distance that is longer than that measured with your car, then you
must reenter a stride length a few inches shorter. Similarly, if the distance
measured by your pedometer is shorter than your cars odometer, then add a few
inches to the stride length.

Once you have done this over the course of a few days, then you will have a result
which will give you a pretty good measurement of the distance traveled during your
routine. You can use this information as a great motivator as you walk or run
further in your daily routine. Now that you have properly set up your pedometer,
clip it to your belt and start walking!

Why Aren’t You Seriously Wealthy Already?

Posted by admin in Success Strategies

I bet you want to be wealthy, but somehow the money eludes you.

Perhaps you overspend, perhaps it’s the impulse purchases, perhaps you just don’t earn enough per hour. Maybe it’s an accumulation of old debts. But have you thought that the solution to your problem might be a whole lot simpler than you imagine.

What if I told you that, if you are average, today you lost 58,000?!

And what if I told you that you lost the same yesterday… and the day before?

And what if I told you that this is the way you’ve been going ever since you can remember. Let me explain…

I’m talking about brain activity here, not money, because it’s your brain activity that actually determines your wealth. On average, the human brain has sixty-two thousand thought impulses per day. Of these fifty-eight thousand are negative and four thousand are positive. But do you know the crazy thing about this?

Almost all of those negative impulses are the same ones we had yesterday! What we do habitually is compound the same thought processes, or errors, day after day after day.

Dumb, eh?

So what does this tell us? Well its little wonder that generally life doesn’t move forward quickly and that you spend more time ‘wanting’ to be wealthy than actually ‘being’ wealthy. This is largely because our brains are creating such deep routed resistance to change by all the negative brain activity every day. It tells us that people who are rich and wealthy - not just rich and wealthy in monetary terms, but in friends, family and career happiness are probably having more positive thoughts than the average person. So what can we do with this information?

Well, first you can look at your finances, your friends, career or any area of your life and if things are not at a level you are satisfied with you can look at the thought impulses you are compounding day after day on that subject.

Here are two ideas:

1. Decide to become rich and wealthy right now. Let’s reverse the thought process. When you catch a negative thought or feeling, replace it with at least two positive thoughts. This cuts down the time for your brain to have negative thoughts and makes sure your account ends up at least twice as many pluses as minuses!

2. Avoid negative things: negative news, negative people, negative areas… negative work!

Anti-Aging Benefits

Posted by admin in Antiaging Treatment

Anti-aging promoters slow, suspend, and, at times, reverse the aging process. They improve alertness, concentration, thought clarity, short-term memory, reaction speed, and hand-eye coordination. To attain these benefits, there are a number of artificial and natural ways, including nutrition and regular exercise. A regular stretching routine increases your mobility, agility and reduces the pain associated with aging. Improved concentration is another advantage gained from anti-aging promoters.

Anti-aging promoters fight obvious signs of aging and help keep you fit and looking younger. Some of the benefits of anti-aging promoters include high cellular rejuvenation, reduction of obvious signs of aging, and young-looking skin. Some users of anti-aging promoters experience fewer aches, less stiffness, increased sexual drive, and pleasing cosmetic changes.

A special deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) reclaiming formula helps you clean up body tissues. The cellular level aging is accelerated by excessive use of alcohol, smoking, poor nutrition, and insufficient exercise. It results from the loss of methyl groups from the nuclear DNA. Trimethylglycine (TMG) is a powerful methyl group supplement found in sugar beets. Youthful skin is a great result of anti-aging promoters, which maintain an average moisture level in the cells. Improved concentration is another advantage gained from anti-aging promoters.

Some human body secretions show anti-aging properties. Estrogen is a female sex hormone that shows some anti-aging benefits such as stronger bones, decreased heart attacks and strokes, improved memory, thick skin, improved mucous membranes, and increased lifespan. Amino acids, an organic compound, prevents protein cross-linking, and chelation. Water, vegetables and fruits are also good sources of anti-aging elements.

Staying Healthy on Long-Haul Flights

Posted by admin in Airline Travel

As most of us know from harsh experience, preparing for a holiday can be a stressful exercise before we even step foot on a plane.

Remembering passports, travel money and tickets, travelling to the airport, queuing for check in and then security - not to mention any delays to flight can all leave us feeling exhausted and under strain.

The additional stresses that come with taking a long-haul flight, mean ones mental and physical state can be much the worse for wear by the time we land and begin our supposedly relaxing holiday.

This article suggests some ways you can help stay feeling healthy on long-haul flights.

A long-haul flight is generally considered to be any flight lasting longer than seven hours. This is a long time to be sat immobile and this immobility can cause circulation problems such as blood clots and DVT (deep vein thrombosis) which can be fatal.

Here are some tips that can help:

Stay active:
To combat these circulatory problems it is important to keep your legs moving throughout your flight.

In their in-flight magazine or videos, the majority of airlines will suggest various exercises that you can do in your seat during the flight to keep your legs active. You should also try to keep mobile by getting out of your seat and walking along the cabin for 5 or 10 minutes each hour during the flight.

Also, avoid crossing your ankles, drinking alcohol or caffeine and consider wearing compression socks, which are medically proven to help combat flight related DVT.

Drink lots of water:
Another point to remember is that it is important to stay hydrated during the flight. The air inside a planes cabin in-flight is very dry (the humidity level in a plane is 20% which is 5% lower than the humidity level in the Sahara desert).

So drink plenty of water or non-alcoholic drinks before boarding and regularly during the flight. By the way, alcohol itself makes people feel more dehydrated, so try to avoid drinking too much as you will feel a lot worse.

One point to remember is that restrictions on taking liquids onto a plane mean you will have to buy any water you take on board after passing through security into the departure lounge.

Reduce jet lag:
Long-haul flights can leave you jet-lagged as your body clock struggles to adjust to a new time zone. Jet lag can leave you feeling fatigued and exhausted or unable to sleep. There are a few ways you can attempt to prevent jet lag.

As previously mentioned avoid alcohol before and during your flight and also drink plenty of water. Try setting your watch to the local time of your destination as soon as your flight begins and then try to sleep on the plane when your watch says it is bedtime.

If it is still daytime when your flight lands, try to stay awake until night time no matter how tired you are. Try and get out into the sunshine as this will help to alter your body clock and adjust quicker.

Some people find that taking melatonin, a type of hormone, can help reduce jet lag. You should speak to your doctor about this and to obtain a prescription.

Hopefully by using these suggestions you will arrive feeling fit and healthy and able to fully enjoy your holiday.

Find and compare flights including cheap flights to long haul destinations.

Diabetes Epidemic Threatens Health Care System

Posted by admin in Diabetes Treatment

Cardiovascular disease, strokes, and peripheral vascular disease are all very expensive conditions to treat in our technologically sophisticated health care system. These conditions already occupy some of the top slots when it comes to where our health care dollar are spent. So imagine what is going to happen now that the rates of diabetes have doubled (with no end in sight).

So, this epidemic of diabetes and pre-diabetes is not just a health care issue that burdens individuals and their families living with the disease. It is a looming societal problem that threatens to bankrupt our already fragile health care system. It could cause health care insurance premiums to escalate even further, impacting not only employers who provide coverage, but also public payors, like Medicaid and Medicare.

An article published in the New York Times January 31, 2007 by Richard Prez-Pea declares, “One in Eight Adults in the City Has Diabetes, a Study Finds”. That is 12.5% of the population or 700,000 people. Lest you feel relieved that you dont live there, let me remind you that the rest of the country is not all that far behind. Overall, about 10.3% of Americans have diabetes and about a quarter of them dont know it (yet).

An additional 24% of adults in NY (and in the rest of the country) have abnormally high blood sugars that have not yet reached diabetic levels. This condition is known as pre-diabetes.

Not too many years ago, the diabetes rate was 6%. But our self-indulgent ways have caught up with us. Too little exercise, too many calories plus too much stress adds up to an epidemic of obesity, particularly abdominal obesity. Abdominal obesity, especially visceral obesity, is linked to the development of Type 2 diabetes in genetically predisposed individuals.

Its just a touch of sugar. Why all the concern? Because diabetes and it precursor, pre-diabetes, are the most familiar manifestations of a constellation of metabolic changes, known as cardiometabolic syndrome. Other manifestations of this syndrome are high blood pressure, dyslipidemia ((high triglycerides) and low HDL (good) cholesterol)), clotting abnormalities, and problems with inflammation. People with cardiometabolic syndrome, even if they havent yet developed full-blown diabetes, have an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes.

It is time to get deadly serious about doing something about prevention. We need to rapidly move to institutionalize regular exercise programs in school and at work. And we need affordable, easily accessible healthy eating options. That means we must be willing to regulate, legislate, and maybe even implement taxes (oh, oh, the tax word!) that can get us to where we need to be. Failure to do something now will almost certainly result in huge adverse financial consequences that will ripple through society in the not too distant future.

Trading Psychology - Trading Psychology Is All About Discipline and Patience

Posted by admin in Create A Blog

It is vital to adopt the correct trading psychology. Here is a summary of observations which serve to highlight the kind of mindset you need to adopt for trading the stock markets.

There is no such thing as flawless trader and you should think of your trading experience in terms of enjoying you route to the target rather than the target itself. Trading psychology is about learning and the experience you gain along the way, then success will take care of itself.

When you trade well, in accordance with you management plan, feel rightly proud of yourself but do not dwell strongly upon it and allow arrogance to set in. Do not allow yourself to get caught up in positive or negative emotion, whichever way your trade goes, keep the trading psychology firmly in your sights. No trade is guaranteed.

A winning streak breeds over confidence and ego. Both will render you without your money. A successful run will have the habit of deform your view of real life trading. It is not about winning, winning is the stock in trade of gamblers. It is all about trading well.

If your trade goes wrong it will torture you. However agonizing it is though, you are far better off to let a good trade pass you by and be pleased you traded in accordance with your management strategy.

You should always assume responsibility in that you accept and appreciate the emotions and psychology of managing risk. Work on your mental state, if a trade goes wrong, try and work out why it did and learn from it.

The markets are not tangible but a combination of the state of mind of traders. All market movements are a result of their thinking, their trading psychology.

You should never trade without a solid reason because you will not beat the market. Just because a price is low or high does not mean you should buy or sell accordingly. If you miss a trade, like a bus, another one will be just around the corner.

Trading psychology is about judgment and analysis of both the market and yourself. Learn trading methods well, but omit learning about yourself at your peril. This is why there are so many losers trading the markets. Greed and fear are your great enemies.

Sometimes life will deal you a psychological blow. Mental scars are far more difficult to heal than physical ones. This is why research, learning and preparation are so important, it is often rightly said that preparation is ninety percent of a job and trading is no different. The better mentally prepared for trading you are the better you will trade. Note my emphasis on better trading, not better winning.
