Fascinating. Have you read about B Knutson's work on neurofinance? Reminds me a heck of a lot about AZT (limitless film). http://www-psych.stanford.edu/~span/Press/bk0206press.html http://www.cell.com/neuron/abstract/S0896-6273(05)00657-4 "The pleasure of orgasm, the high from cocaine, the rush of buying Google Inc. at $450 a share --- the same neural network governs all three, Knutson, 38, concluded. What's more, our primal pleasure circuits can, and often do, override our seat of reason, the brain's frontal cortex, the professor says. In other words, stocks, like sex, sometimes drive us crazy. . "
The exact reason why many are not equipped to handle the market, particullarly evident in ones who love it the most.
Does physical exercises or diets help develop our ability at learning? Certain food types better than others? Does health affect our learning? I would assume excessive stress would be a detriment.
So you actually took an FMRI of a person trading? Tell us more about the study. Was there real monetary incentive when the subject was trading, or any other kind of reward/punishment mechanism? Ok... if you're telling the truth, then this is interesting. What is your sample size? What kind of statistics are you employing? Will there be a paper or study? Are you looking at the hypothalamus, heart rate variability, and other physiological responses? I love neurology, at least I used to. Hence my username. I have opinions on this but i'm keeping quiet.
Logic is not used while trading. To make money trading a process is used. The sensing is a very clear inputting (to the brain) process. To make money using a mental process there are three shells involved. the outer shell is spatial, the middle shell is shapes; the inner shell is movement of the shapes. For me, I trade subconsciously simply because there is 1000 times the subconscious activity compared to the conscious activity. The major major secret of taking the full offer of the market can become obvious. In this thread it will not make it to the surface. In understanding the operation of the markets designing and defining a complete sysem is relatively simple. the other half of a working system is making it failsafe. The bottom line in taking the full offer of the market is is handling the violations of trending. going from the inner shell is the observation of the shape changing which in sensing is called "movement" Here is a process during a shape movement: SYM>>>FTP>>>>HITCH>>>>> Stitch>>>>>> OB. None of the early shapes allow the independent variable to be measured. At the lock in shape occurance two measurements of the independent variable are happening. This very often leads to a violation of trending system and abruptly ends a trend. Profits are taken and the trader is then on the opposite tack in the market if and only if he does hold/reversal type trading. For forex, the indepndent variable is not available nor visible; this kind of prohibits designing logic for trading. Obviously the logic part of the mind will be at rest during forex trading. What takes its place. OODA does. A wager is under consideration at all times. The brain activity centers on paiin. When a pain limit is reached the context of the pain is erradicated. Lets say the profit's max is reached. The pain has a minmum that can be observed. anbnd the trading time from that pint on is wasted and less capital will be retained (uneearned). At this time remorse comes into the picture along with increasing pain. BUT the problem is this; the mind does not "add" parallel processes; all it does is not measure unchanging (the presene or absense) things. Thus, the OP vendor has a remedy to watch other than money.
I agree. The market operates dialectically as does life. The internal relations between opposites is played out as cycles in linear time. Formal logic requires external relations so it is limited when it comes to the market or predicting the future.
Thanks, that's very interesting -- your description with 'house', 'rooms' and 'foundations'. That's something I would not have thought of, in fact reflecting on it, my 'probability distributions projections' are probably more like rational conscious analysis and not like the intuition from unconscious parts of the brain. I think I'm stuck on the one-way aspect of the time dimension. This leads me to suppose, one way to recognize 'intuition' is it will have unrelated imagery but from which analogies can be drawn in some way. I'll try tuning into imagery-impressions I get. Usually they're like 'pain spikes' or 'pain claws', or things like 'boredom, nothing's going on' or 'forming probit curves'.
most work/jobs are the same ,different tasks but basically,define task, find solution or plan of attack,implement, complete
