If you throw enough mud at a wall some of it is going to stick and not fall to the ground. The same can be said for marginal NASDAQ futures traders. If they trade their account enough they are going to have the occasional winning trade, this is certain. In the end however, the undisciplined trader will always end up on the losing end and bring his trading career to an abrupt halt. Reckless attitudes and sloppy execution have no place in the futures markets and are the signs a trader is ruled by greed and fear rather than rules and a solid trading system
The disciplined trader knows that market knowledge and an understanding of market character has its place in the trading flow chart but personal discipline and an iron control of their emotions play a far greater part in ultimate trading success. Risk management and a solid back tested trading system are the results of discipline and personal control, ruling out any emotional factors. Traders that aspire to exceptional self control will almost always become a successful trader.
When things that are collectible are on display at auctions it gives buyers a chance to look them over before they put in a bid on them. Things like some civil War items are no exception to this rule. Recently at an event that was held locally which was to auction off some civil war coins there were some pieces which had not been in the market before, thus they were quite rare. For the attendees who were lucky enough to view the variety of silver dollars from the Civil War era it was a special opportunity to view items which have not been seen by the public prior to this event.
