It's a long story, so this is Off Topic Some years back a trader in Palm Beach told me I needed positive reinforcement and suggested I take the confirms from good trades and tape them on the wall. I had just had my office paneled, no way. But for years I travelled a lot, played golf in some great places and never had anything to show for it, so one day while in Pinehurst I saw a golf ball rack. Let's say you wanted to have a memento from Pinehurst you would buy a ball with the Pinehurst logo and stick it in the rack. I bought a rack and stopped travelling so it was useless. While visiting the CBOE one day I decided to buy some CBOE logo balls and from that point on whenever I made more than 10 points on an OEX trade I wrote the date on the ball and threw it in the rack. Scott visited the CME last summer and sent me some CME balls. So if I get 10 on a day trade one goes in the rack. It's just a game.
