Trading Anger Management

Trading is often about how to take the appropriate risk without exposing yourself to very human flaws.

I'm going to need some anger management after what just happened in the 14:00!

I'd bet on Lindsay's Dream, and after it traded at 1.01 I was getting ready to head across the road to by bookies and collect my winnings, only for it to be gubbed!

You laugh or you cry! :lol:

That's bad however this PM I slipped my finger on the computer and layed 1k on a horse trading at 1.01 in 14:00.

On the way to the pub to celebrate my winnings I saw a guy in an "Aon" shirt ripping up a betting slip and kicking the dog!! :D

I just thought I'd write a positive post (since I always seem to post about losing large amounts!) I have got my discipline back in check and things are going far more smoothly, Things seem to be back to normal and I hope it stays that way!

Thanks again for all your valuable input, It really helped me get back on track.

Hi All
I cured myself of anger by repepeating everything I said when angry but done it in Donald Ducks voice and make it sound realy silly :mrgreen:

Why not try to get the mother in law drunk? It might bring out a different side of her character! :lol:
