Quantum physics is the physics of possibilities. Its a science that studies how 'real' something is and to distingush 'reality' from the 'possibility'
Quantum physics basically states that the only real things in the world around you, is only what your conscious determines as 'real'
Believe it or not, the chair your sitting on, the computer monitor your looking at while reading this post, the mouse you currently have your hand on, don't exist anywhere but in your mind. For all you know, you could be part of some massive experiment created by higher forms of life from another world.....(crazy talk, hey....but let me get to my point!)
You believe that everything around you exists, because your conscious believes its there - in other words, your the one who creates the reality around you. Every object you see to be tangible around you really is intangible - the only tangible thing about them is the idea of that object being there. The chair you are sitting on, is there only cause you allow it to be there consciously. It doesnt have to exist if you dont want it to, but it does, cause you want it to and you were brought up with the notion that chairs are made for sitting on.
But what if you never have seen a chair in your life, and you have never sat down in your life, and one day in the middle of nowhere you came across a chair and no one told you it was there - would you see it? No you wouldnt, it would be an object which wouldnt exist to you. Your brain ony processes what is knows - it cant process things that it doesnt perceive as real.
When Captain Cook sailed into Sydney Harbour 230 years ago, and discovered the east coast of Australia, the local aboriginals did not even recognise the tall ships from the other side of the world, sail into the harbour. These ships would have been completely foreign and out of this world for the indigenous people back then. It was only when one of the elders of one of the tribes noticed wripples in the water, and sought to find the answer for these wripples in the water, that he then began to notice the British ship 'the endeavour' sailing through the harbour. He then went and told everyone in the tribe, and it was only then, that the rest of the aboriginals in the area, began to see them too.
Have you ever tried going to the kitchen cupboard after your wife or your mum has asked you to go and get them the salt, and when you arrive you cant find it, only to have them come 2 mins later, and find it right in front of you where you were originally looking. Maybe this has happened because in the first place, you didnt want to look for it, in your mind you already created a reality, and in that reality the salt didnt exist. To everyone around you, the salt existed....but to you for that moment you had completely blocked what salt was in your mind.
So if all reality is only in your head, is it possible your eyes have the ability to see more than what our brains can process?
The short answer is ..... of course!
What has this crazy talk, got anything to do with trading forex?
Well - the market is a collection of conscious thoughts, people buying and selling on what they perceive to be the best probability for them. There is always going to be more than one explanation for a movement in a certain pair, of why the euro jumped 200 pips. etc.
Its what we believe we can see, thats going to make the difference. If we believe the market will move in our favour, well then only in our heads, will we think that the probability of it moving in our favour will be great. But is this really what the market thinks, or what happens with the 'real' market.
Traders, especially newbies often make the mistake of seeing the market in only one light - in the idea, that they will come out a winner no matter what. Unfortunately, this is not the natural behaviour of the market, and as most of us knows, it doesnt favour or distinguish one trader from another. But this newbie, they have this notion so set in their mind, that it becomes real to them - that is until there account is blown away from their wayward thinking.
What are the other possibilities?
So many traders make the distinguished mistake, of never seeing eye to eye with the market.
There are so many other possibilities and ideas out there to explore in the markets. This is why one must have a clear head, and open up his mind once he is trading, to the select number of possibilities given when trading.
Another big mistake traders make is, limiting their gains, or taking profits earlier than normal, or not entering into a trade with a high probability of success. This mainly occurs because the trader believes he can not achieve what the market really offers us, a endless realm of possibilities.
Remember, the market does not exist - we create the market in our head. The market is seen differently by every single trader out there - depending on how eac individual sees and perceives the market. How we perceive the market, ultimately leads us to creating our systems and money management practices around the idea we have conceived about the market itself.
If the market is limitless, and a relm of endless possibilites, does this mean we there is a limit to what we can achieve from this unbelievable place of collective human consciousness. Can we limit the amount of income we are able to achieve? Can one limit the pip collection one can make over the course of their career.
It all exists in your head, what you take out of the market, is what you believe you deserve.
It does not mean we shouldnt identify the risks also, and make decisions based on a solid money management plan. etc. The risks are definetely there!
But - unbelievable things happen, when you believe anything is possible.
Because at the end of the day, thats all the market is - nothing tangible, just a collection of human emotions and consciousness ideas. And by all means....
Anything is possible...
