Mark,
Do you trade using a variety of strategies on the same account and on the same exchange? Example: do you have one account just for scalping, and another for the long shots, etc.
Do you ever drink alcoholic beverages while in trading sessions?
Of course, this is more comfortable and reasonable. I do have several accounts for different strading styles in terms of both timeframe and strategy. Yeah, this gives the advantage to scalp while being in long etc.
As for the alco, cannot deny this fact. I have some stories of my youth when I was trading being wasted and sometmes this resulted in really outstanding results (won't say that this was an experience, just catched a streak of luck).
One day while traveling around USA I got up with the chick in the hotel and realized by capital was doubled, but I do not remember what was goin on that night. Trade history was really crazy.
Currently I'm notably more accurate and careful trader, and hardly ever will have such stories, but I still can have some relaxed alcoholic trades, why not. Just comply with the rules etc and pay attention to your mind state. Even being drunk I can control my mind.
What's your opinion and experience on that?
