The Lowest Common Denominator
This article poses a few thoughts participants in "chat sites" or "real" trading groups might want to consider from time to time.
If you are serious about improving your trading, be sure the bulk of your time is spent on
your plan, on
your trade,
your success. If you find yourself being sidetracked, engaging in bickering, or simply wondering just what it is that you get from any particular group, a break to refocus your attention may be what is needed.
Trading on your own is a solitary activity. There is no boss but yourself, there are no employees to do the trench work. With attentive focus, your travels will cull resources to improve your methods. If fortunate, you will find gems both in techniques and in people willing to share their wisdom. Know when you have reached a dead end. Take care to keep your views fresh and constructive so that your strength isn't sapped by corrosive or slothful environments.
Be a prime number, which cannot be divided and diminished by the lowest common denominator.
At last, over the rim
of the waiting earth
the moon lifted with
slow majesty
till it swung clear of the horizon and rode off,
free of moorings
- Kenneth Grahame,
The Wind in the Willows
