I wanted to talk about stress and why it is hard on us. Stress is one of the deadliest killers there is. We don't see it but it is there and over time it's deadly. At all cost we need to reduce stress. Do things like exercise, walking, cycling,smiling or dancing.

Yoga is also a good way to reduce stress. Traders are especially prone to stress. This is a business where you are negative before you start with no guarantee whether you will lose your investment or not and this is very stressful.I could go on and on with this but every trader should be aware of this fact.

Most of the food we eat today is over cooked and it has no enzymes left in it.Eat as much food raw as possible and you will maintain a healthy colon. Your body thrives on raw vegetables and fruits. Make at least 20-40% of your diet raw foods. A side note is to try to buy organic. Cheers TDTB

What I realized is that it is quite possible that an unsuccessful trader may be trading through a false self paradigm and not their authentic self. A false self/selves (created out of necessity in childhood due to trauma of many kinds) is essentially delusional and therefore unable to perceive reality in general and in this case the markets accurately. I'm reading this book for the second time and have found it absolutely fascinating and extremely informative and know it can be helpful to pretty much everyone.

I have a couple weeks of travel left myself, then I will be back in my office and into the full EFX swing of things. We have some great little projects on the go which should ad to the "less screen time" side of trading so I am really looking forward to this first quarter. See you in the Live Room soon.

touchdowntampa has started a great little thread here, I will enjoy reading and adding more to this topic.

The increase in Cancer seems to be a global epidemic Jason, too much fast food, too many Genetically Modified Foods, not enough exercise and not enough clean water. The unfortunate truth is that the World is only focused on profit at any cost to human life.

I too now try to look at the charts lesser. I use to fear missing the chance for an entry but now try to tell myself that all these requires patience and I'll get another chance in future. Anyway, happy to hear we all share some common goals. Happy new year! Hope 2013 will be a great success for us in forex trading!

( my one bad habit) . I finally wake up as the computer wakes up and I review the trades from the last 4 hours and yes I check it every 4 hours. I then exercise for about 1 hour and then the shower.I eat a healthy breakfast. By this time I spend some time trading and then go do chores before the next 4 hour candle arrives.I then have usually fruit for lunch and then practice all afternoon on a demo account. Lately I seem to practice all day but always find time for some sunshine and fresh air.My main plan is to incorporate my exercise,meals and sunshine with my trading. I hope to someday be able to only check my trades 1-2 times a day. Please remember to have some special time for friends and family as this is the key to keeping mentally fresh. Regards and stay healthy TDTB
