  1. Once you know how to look at her, you can control which way you want to see her rotate. Stare at her midsection and try and time the way you see her rotating leg. When it comes close to crossing by the pivot leg, you will see how you can start to see her rotating any way you'd like. Once you see it, you cannot NOT see it :D

  2. how you see 'her" has NOTHING to do with preferential activation of leftbrain vs right brain .. are you kidding me :p

    "she" is a simple optical illusion oh man too funny (much like more than a few trading sys) :D

  3. I dont know how they determined seeing her move clockwise = right brain and vice versa. That, to me, seems very subjective.

  4. THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

    If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

    Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This is just too funny! The instructions above state, "do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?"
    If clockwise, we use the right side of the brain to interpret information if anticlockwise, we use the left side of the brain. Now we've made it so difficult for us, as most of us do when looking at a chart. Let's keep it simple folks.:D

  6. LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
    uses logic
    detail oriented
    facts rule
    words and language
    present and past
    math and science
    can comprehend
    knowing
    acknowledges
    order/pattern perception
    knows object name
    reality based
    forms strategies
    practical
    safe

    RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
    uses feeling
    "big picture" oriented
    imagination rules
    symbols and images
    present and future
    philosophy & religion
    can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
    believes
    appreciates
    spatial perception
    knows object function
    fantasy based
    presents possibilities
    impetuous
    risk taking

    Based on these properties assigned to the two brain halves, which would you say would be more important when trading the Hershey method?

    It seems to me that performing the sweeps routine to determine change/continuation is mostly a left brain function. However, it's only when we place this information in a larger frame work by annotating and anticipating that we are able to actually 'see' the market. You can compare it to the difference in the forest, tree and leaves resolutions.

    Most of the people that responded, including myself, see the dancer moving clockwise which means the right brain is dominant. It might be interesting to see how incorporating more detail or 'left brain analysis' in our annotating affects our trading.

  8. Sure thats what the instructions "say", but they dont say WHY seeing it clockwise means you are right brained dominant. If the article said the opposite (like clockwise meant left brained), you'd take that as true I'm assuming?

    I guess I am just interested in the research behind it, why seeing it clockwise naturally constitutes a right brained dominant person.

    Anyways, Spydertrader is right, once you see the phenomena here, you cant see otherwise, just as in what we are all trying to accomplish here.

    I had several people watching it at the same time. She changed directions at different times for everyone. I mention that due to the hoax comment below it.

    Not so fast, don't end the lesson yet. That was a great segue way into . . . something :D

    In Callmate's example seemed everyone was looking at something different. I looked at the bar numbers, that with DU I saw as CCC, and either wait for the BO of the DU bar in Increasing volume or sideline for a low volume lunch period.

    For me she looked clockwise first, then with a little practice I could see her anti clockwise.
