I am not going to be trading for a while. For how long, I don't know. I have underestimated the impact my negative emotions have had on my trading behavior, and I want to do the right thing for me this time.
I will never stop hating self-righteous, selfish, hypocritical asses, and for as long as I keep a public blog, I will be exposed to them - the wolves in sheepskin. I need to find a way to become immune to them, and I need to pick up skills that will help me sniff them out before they can get close enough to affect me emotionally.
I am desperately needing a cure to my most fatal flaw: my inability to live and let live. When I bite, I won't let go. I will see to it that my enemy bleeds to death, even if it's at my own expense. My mind doesn't stop playing the images of people that annoy me, and the only way that it will stop is when I can begin to feel sorry for them.
If I don't get this part of me fixed, I'll never trade with consistent result.
So, as Emini Player has pointed out, I either get my emotions under control, or learn to not let my emotions get in the way of my trading.
Either way, I need time.

Hi Jules,
Best wishes for getting over this emotional hurdle. If you ever feel like a private e-mail exchange with a fellow emotionally sensitive human being... :)
MM
From what I know about you so far, it's clear you're a strong willed individual. So why would you let someone who communicated via blog comments/email impact your emotions and trading? You have complete control over the comments section here, so if you don't like someone's comment, just hit the little recycling bin icon :)
We're close to the weekend. I would say take a couple of days off to chillax and be back at it on Monday :)
Best trading!
It takes me about 2 days to get over an emotional problem. The more severe problem the more time it takes. The key thing for me is to take a look around and recognize how better off I am than some other. In my opinion you can never get over it but you sure can get use to it.
Hey Jules,
Best of luck and speedy recovery to your best form!
Always being inspired by you.
same thing happened to me the other day with a readers comment. It actually had some merit but it rocked me for a day or so. Even so you have to realize trolls will post things just to get people worked up over nothing. You just have to realize your better than them.
Jules,
No one should be able to impact your trading more than yourself.
You’ve been doing great these past few weeks don’t let this disrupt your momentum.
Take your break, be kind to yourself, come back when you’re ready to kick some more ass (in the market or on your blog). :)
Rest, rest and then rest some more.
Somewhere amongst all that resting you could read this (don't think it should offend any religion) ...

talk to alberto. he seems like a good listener
That means your trade drew much attention. It's like celebrity, the more famous, the more disturbance. You can't get away from it.
The bright side is you're famous already.
Enjoy your summer Jules! Come back when you're ready with some hopefully thicker skin. And then use the "delete comment" button more! I've learned not to give strangers the ability to upset me (at least not for long! LOL). Easier said than done sometimes... Best wishes!
World famous people draw alot of flak from all angles. MJ for one...
I'm not going to teach you how to counter those *bleeping* a**holes, cos they're lurking around reading. Insecure people need to impose and/or feel like they are part of other people's lives lah. We understand such are mental issues these people have to tackle and live with all their lives? My utmost sympathies..
We smoke and eat ice-cream and gossip about them ok?
Love you till sea dry rock rot
Mwaaaak!
Jules...after a hard week I plan to watch Ice Age 3 and have a tuina massage this weekend :-).. may include a scoop of McD icecream.
TST, if i may..
Ice Age 3 is good! In 3D even better!
Try Island Creamery, better than Mc ;o)
hey since my big sister is having an intermission lets talk food on her blog haha!
Seventh Heaven!!
