Question to traders following this thread: what is exactly do you want to achieve? Amplifying intuition at what point in your trade? And how much is that intuition based on strong trading skills or are you wanting intuition to fix something that is broken?
not sure it's related but with martial arts and intuitive abilities as in the ability to sense an attack from the rear and respond to it properly, it's associated with the sense of hearing. Much more of my personal brand of intuition is associated with hearing than visualization. I've never trusted any kind of visual intuition and I don't use any intuition in day trading. If my account gets so big that I can't daytrade it all I might have to venture into new areas of thought and ways of doing things.
you can use my account if you like just add finds and fill it up. as for what we would like to accomplish. it is a good question. For me it is exponential growth in under ten posts. Before you get excited, I do have a time limit so if you are asking to help, try to speed it up. If you are asking to gauge , I guess im not a good target. If you are asking out of genuine curiosity id have to say that your post is a bit odd.
'What do you want to achieve?' That is such a fundamental question - the obvious answer regarding trading is to produce a sustainable and consistent income. But specifically regarding the theme of this thread - the answer is to be able to look at a chart and see what needs to be done to trade it and when, and to develop the insights needed to do that, or in other words develop intuition so as to be able to act quickly without having to think through every munute detail. i.e. to develop mental shortcuts obtained as a result of experience.
I go back to my idea of what intuition is (not saying everyone has this idea): intuition is when cortical areas outside of the conscious cortical area put pieces together to solve a problem, and send the solution to conscious awareness. The problem is those other cortical areas are outside consciousness, so you can't really control them to get them to work to solve a problem. But -- maybe MAESTRO's intuition amplifiers help in getting them to work on problems. It would be great to find out be able to use more of my brain's processing power. It would be like the mechanic saying there are 4 more pistons in my engine he could enable. Not just for trading, hopefully it would extend to any sort of puzzle or problem one has to solve.
That is exactly it!!!! That is the sole purpose of my IA based tools. In the last 18 years we have created hundreds and hundreds of visual trading decision support systems that trigger subliminal thinking thus increasing the probabilities of spotting the profitable opportunities. Our latest set of tools that is in a form of a trading cockpit is under the testing right now and some of the ET members expressed the desire to see whether it helps them or not. As usual, I am running all sorts of statistical data and maintaining various control groups to objectively assess the efficiency of the system. There are also five independent institutions (including Bloomberg research group) that are tracking statistical data of usersâ performance that are currently testing our Visual Perception based gauges. At this stage we are still forming the user groups to do the testing on a larger scale. Each group will have a leader who is responsible for collecting and reporting the data as well as providing necessary training on the system. We are planning to have an education session for the group leaders sometime in the summer. I will continue to update you on our progress. The group leaders who are also happen to be ET members will be asked to share their brutally honest opinion on this thread. Stay tuned. Cheers, MAESTRO
More than we realized over a decade ago, thinking occurs not on "stage", but "off stage", out of sight. Studies of "automatic processing," "subliminal priming," "implicit memory," "heuristics," "spontaneous trait inference," right-brain processing, instant emotions, nonverbal communication, and creativity unveil our intuitive capacities. Thinking, memory, and attitudes all operate on two levels (conscious and deliberate, and unconscious and automatic)-dual processing, today's researchers call it. We know more than we know we know! It's the bottom line!
Van tharps new book looks at spirituality in trading. Somebody says - Ultimate edge in tradind is spirituality
My intuition tells me I have a BS detector which is beginning to ring regarding the melodrama and emotion and zero facts in this thread. Not saying it is all BS, but some of you guys are getting carried away by feel good theories and random occurrences. If I could use intuition as a tool to trade (ie sharpen my perception), why just live in such a narrow world, why not rather use intuition to grow your intuition, wouldn't that be more satisfying and rewarding.
