Comments Section Update
November 1, 2006 by Trader Rich
The comments section of the site is quickly becoming unusable due to the persistent spam it receives. I'm going to attempt to replace the comments module with something that has image verification to prevent the automated bots from killing it. This problem has probably caused me to miss some of your comments and has also forced me to turn off email verification when your comment is responded to. So I apologize if I did miss a comment. Changes will be coming shortly.

T HE TRADER’S PRAYER
Dear Lord, please grant me the WISDOM to resist the siren song of the market when I am not prepared;
The SELF-DISCIPLINE to study market trends, current direction, and as many indicators as I reasonably can;
The PATIENCE to stand aside from the market until multiple indicators support low risk entry points;
The COMMON SENSE to use stop losses to protect my trading account from reckless losses;
The INITIATIVE to record my trades and the lessons I learn in a daily journal;
The EMOTIONAL BALANCE to accept that losses are inevitable and to not be overly self-critical when they occur;
The HUMILITY to acknowledge and learn from my mistakes;
The DEDICATION to identify and overcome destructive trading behaviors;
The COMMITMENT to stay positive and focus on learning each day;
The UNDERSTANDING that trading is an opportunity to master oneself, and;
The GOOD SENSE to appreciate that trading offers a life of learning, personal empowerment, and financial independence.
Somehow my blog gets people posting spam to it even though I’ve disabled comments! I have no idea how they do that, it’s just filling up my inbox with “awaiting moderation.” Someone needs to stab these guys in the face with a soldering iron. (Cue Walken)
