schoolboy error in the 15:00, so annoyed with myself
Put a 'don't be a dickhead again' post-it on your screen.
Don't take it off for a week and put it there again if you do it again. You'll get sick of seeing it.
Better still get an 'own worst enemy' t-shirt made. ;)

Out of interest what kinda error?

Edge-related (i.e. over stake) or just pure stupidity (i.e. mouse batteries run out 10seconds prior to off :) )

I'm torn on that one myself

IMO

Most psychological issues are caused by lack of +expectancy, & a post-it doesn't solve it

"I'll never go in play again" - why not find out why you went in play in the first place, then you'll never need to do it again

Similar thing with batteries, I make sure I have a set ready to go at a seconds notice - not a post-it saying "you dickhead batteries next time"

I changed from "don't go if play" post it to "always Hedge at the Off" postit and found that much more useful and I actually followed that. Think it is to do with it being a positive rather than a negative statement

It was slightly tongue in cheek.

"why not find out why you went in play in the first place, then you'll never need to do it again" ?
Shred your psych books and videos everyone, it's easy ;)

Look out for sequals such as ...
"find out why you eat so much cake, then you'll never need to do it again"
"find out why you drink too much, then you'll never need to do it again"
and "when the fun stops, stop"

It's not me who's cocked up today but the problem is Si, most people (incl me) are just a chimps in human clothing, not r2d2.

I still have so little trust in myself that I run an IP-Stopper bot in another room even though I haven't needed it for months
.... it's under a pile of cake boxes and empty whiskey bottles. :)

This going to be bet too. If you can trade it for a steamer and than back it. Big confidence in this. Ive just managed to get on in a shop. Hopeful for a good trade.

+1
You can have as many mice plugged in permanently as you like. Just have a cheap one plugged in a spare usb round the back ready to go.

And what's this with batteries? Bit old skool init? My Logitech MX recharges and I can leave it plugged in while i'm using it for the times when I didn't see low battery light flashing. Post-it - "It's 2018, stop using a 90s mouse" :)

No, those were just stats on this horse.
I wish I did though.

question for Euler, you’ve trained so many people, how many traders would you say are on your level?, are we talking 100’s, 1000’s, less than 10?

I am not Euler, but can say.. I do not think anyone is on his level. Certainly from knowledge and experience I would say their isn't any.

But a wire on the desk just feels... disgusting :lol:

Now that is a bias - aesthetics over logic! ;)
