Blindness and Trading

Discussion in 'Trading' started by tradingjournals, Nov 30, 2013.

  1. I have a theory that one of the best traders could be the blind people. Are there studies on blind people's performance in trading? I have some fundamental reasons to think that blind educated people could be one of the best traders if taught well.

    If correct, this theory could have profound implications on trading law and practice.

  4. I have a theory that posting half-baked silly ideas as profound theories is idiotic.

    BTW, I have actually met that blind JP guy. He's impressive.

  6. this theory only applies to geometry teachers.

    Long ago I had a tough time getting a headmaster to approave a blind teacher to teach geometry.

    His students never shirked doing their best. Many became brail typists for his library.

    I have never seen a ticker tape that produced brail.

    Most people with eyes to see are like you.

    I grew up in Morristown NJ. The brokers there didn't have provisions for seeing eye doggies.

    OP’s BS aside

    I’ve thought it possible (because there have been times I've wondered what I would do if my eyesight failed)

    What if a person created code that would beep for every transaction across the tape

    Higher pitched beep for buying

    Lower pitched for selling

    Equal pitched for transaction resulting in no movement


    Add in some additional coding to make it possible to speak current price / entry price/ stop price/ when price hit the entry or stop/ etc. - on command


    My eyes ever go - this is the route I would try

  8. here is how it turned out for me.

    I'm with a couple of experts. I seem to be screwing up in our dialogue.

    Someone suggests getting my eyes examined . I quickly get to where you are thinking. And I DO get my eyes examined.

    Have I had a trauma? Regina asks. Yes, in lacrosse while goal tending (my stick cross lacing failed and I had my mask off since I was the target of the once daily "collect all the balls" by letting the goalie have it. I couldn't see for a week and only 55 years later did it show up badly.

    Eight surgeries fixed everything. I have artificial concentric tri-focals and my corneas were regrown. I have a pressure control medication system as well (My eyeballs are punctured to "leak" at a certain pressure level) But I can see everywhere since my concentric tri-focals kick in automatically. Surgery is done in a refrigerated "clean room" to avoid any tiny living stuff from getting into the small spaces. Machines are fed data and the machine does the surgery since my head is clamped in a precise calibrated position). Regina is the ONLY one who does me.

    The dressings in the eyes are clear plastic polished surfaces built for the recovery.

    Outside I MUST wear sunglasses.

    My irises are photographed periodically to discover how all parts of my bod are doing. If something is amiss I drink potions (Eastern teas, etc) to correct the problem and my iris then reflects the cured problem.

    I agree with you that everyone should be using alarms applied to various senses.
