My job is to attempt to recognize these rhythms, use T/A to tell me when is the optimum time, to enter/exit, and then separate myself from the "emotional" part, once I enter the trade... I need to be a machine, with two objectives: First, make money. Second, if it is evident I made the wrong decision, get out, without hesitation.

This should be every traders mantra. Well said.

re: "This is the real usefulness of investment boards, like a window to the emotions of the participants."

Be sure not to let the cacophony drown out the rhythm.

Take care.

My sentiments exactly Doroteo. I've previously had to pull myself out of the market entirely to refine and master the psychological aspects of trading and it has made my mental health along with my financial health a hell of a lot greater.

Couldn't have said it better.
