concentration in trading

Ruth also has some hypno tapes that are very good..

 

was thinking about her hynotic stuff but wondered how much more benefit i could get after reading all her books plus it is very costly - may indulge myself once i become consistently consistent as a trader

 

the fastest way to develop concentration is samatha meditation

 

And if you find that making presentations in front of an imaginary audience is somewhat unsettling, then it may help to imagine this imaginary audience to be wearing only their underwear. This, of course, may lead to a different type of distraction, but that's a topic for another thread.

 

Tell me more about this Samantha. What does she look like?

 

if your trading stocks, it depends a lot on the stock. but if you place your trade then wait about 7 seconds, watch the time and sales during this time and take the worst price printed during that 7 seconds. (assuming your stock is trading enough volume to give you several prints during this time). That will be very close to your actual price if you traded live.

if your trading futures like the ES then you only need to watch for the worst price for about 2 seconds after you place your trade.

this is what I have done and I find it to be very close to my live results.

if your using limit orders, then don't count the trade until you get a print that goes through your price.
