That's interesting as i've recently been considering if i should try it for myself. Rather than discuss here i'll start a thread in the psych section
LOL, I am truly at a loss which word that is? I am not going to be cruel and say degrading meaningless nouns, cause when folks use such words, it is they who are the degraded ones. As far as your trading problems of your past, no one is harder on you than you. Nothing I say will make you feel worse than what you do to yourself, no bad responce from me will improve your future. I respect myself too much to insult someone else. Nothing good can come out of that, it only adds more degrading fuel to the fire, it wastes time, time one can be happily be doing backtesting to become a better trader. If you want to PM me on good things in life or trading, welcome mat is always there for all, but never bad things or ideals.
How about "hypnosis"? Maybe something is bothering you recently, and it drives you to hypnosis. That is just plain superstitious.
