Hi Keith - I think the main part I agree with Lance Beggs on is - "common advice is not always the best advice".

You have mentioned this before  - we are all different - you are you - I am me etc etc.

What ever "floats your boat" or what you feel happy with that gets you better results etc etc - you do.

I have done some competitive motor racing and found being in the right "mindset" would always help me. ie I prefered to be calm - but slightly on "edge" ( apprehensive) and then using that other great mental tool - "visualisation" to help me be mentally prepared.

However for me - never angry - In fact I find anger a "negative" emotion - not like happiness or apprehension which are both positive.

So have I ever traded with an "anger mode" - NO

Do I intend to - NO

That's just my personality i suppose - fairly laid back - I dont suffer with "road rage" ( unlike my wife) and certainly dont want to spend my day going through massive highs - than a massive low every time I make a bad trade :-)

In fact next time I have a cup of tea - I will try "drinking it with anger" - just to see if it tastes better.

PS - was this an April Fool joke :-)

Probably by cutting their ear off - it made them angry - as they realised they still had another one left and could still hear - so there efforts had been pointless ( lol). I am like you G and would love to hear more about it :-)

Lisa - is that your daughter looking at the beautiful picture her "mum" painted of her ?

PS - because if so - you got the hair the wrong colour ! ( only joking )

All in all yes it takes a certain solice a calmming of the mind and body if you please for the most part. Anger is a secondary Feeling not an emotion therefore it must be triggered by something once I find the trigger its far easier to use this energy for a most positive result

 I am speaking from only my history this anger has been turned into quite the positive drive needed to be successfull and confident in tradeing as well in life Trick is to remain calm long enough to use this energy called anger >>>>>Splithand
