I use the Theta meditation to relax for 30 minutes after trading. I feel like I do after waking up from an full nights sleep afterwards. http://www.soundstrue.com/relaxationco/index.php
I never used the BrainWave Generator or others or goggles and think that a better way to go may be to use the services of a hypnotist-psychologist - h-p I had a severe 'pulling-the-trigger' problem that I 'cured' myself but had talked with a few h-ps here in Vancouver, asking if they had worked with traders and what fees they charged, session quantity etc; I found one guy that I had a good rapport with tho I never used him, wanted to write about using an h-p as 'foundation' method I mean while not having received any 'treatment', I nevertheless believe in the potential that the 'right' h-p may be able to provide (might include NLP practioner) the one guy spoke about the 'overall' person, so one needs an assessment to begin with to determine 'what one is and where one's at' before going on to the specific of what one wants assistance with â 3 - 6 sessions ? average $125 per or 'course' rate moving on to the trading day, I'd think the h-p would have specific programs that may be adapted to the individual's requirement for relaxation, concentration etc I 'believe' using an h-p is more beneficial because one works with another person, a professional, one who has worked with traders, money managers and is thereby familiar with a lot of their problems, how to solve the problems, how to increase performance; also the 'treatment' seems to be quite short, tho I've no way of knowing how good the results may - or may not - be; it's also possible they know of or can recommend a brain wave generator etc and specific 'preset'/recording, could already have one or more available or design one in writing this I was just thinking about those people who had 'life coaches' - usually celebrities - did one of the realtors on 'Million Dollar Listings' have one ? - and thought 'how pretentious', but . . . does hiring a 'trading coach' make sense ?
Yes. This one. http://www.soundstrue.com/shop/Sele...laxation Company&name=Theta Meditation System I am in my 30's with 2 little children. It helps me transition from trading to part 2 of the day. I look at it like a "reboot". I really look forward to it.
wondering if any of the guys at the beginning of the thread are still using these... riskarb, any '5 years later' comments?

I used to have a brain wave feedback device that changed a tone when you meditated your mind into theta wave patterns. But I figured out that I could just take a nap and do the same thing.
I haven't actually used any of the devices, both sound and light, because I have always had my apprehension about them. I can't really explain it, but I just don't want to use any devices or mediums to get to a certain state of mind. I guess you can say I am a little scared... probably the after effect of too many thriller and horror films...lol. Anyway, after reading all your post, I must admit I became curious and would start researching about this subject. By the way, are there any know side effect?
What do you mean exactly 'that changed a tone'? It measured your EEG and responded accordingly with a different tone when your brain is into theta wave?.. :eek:
