SatchFan, you are strongly left-hemisphere dominant, with a balanced preference for auditory and visual inputs, a productive combination of traits.

[i]PrymeTyme, you are somewhat left-hemisphere dominant and show a preference for visual learning, although not extreme in either characteristic. You probably tend to do most things in moderation, but not always.
Your left-hemisphere dominance implies that your learning style is organized and structured, detail oriented and logical. Your visual preference, though, has you seeking stimulation and multiple data. Such an outlook can overwhelm structure...Ignored

LEFT SIDE
WHO MAKES THE BEST TRADERS,
the etreme left and right use ther extreme to find winning edge,some of the quants find intricate equations ,some of the more artistic thinkers find pattern ,feel price as though they are dancing with it.
so were does that leave the majority, in the middle ,unable to quite get it.regardless of hours spent in study the middle group always end up in the middle.
our first step is firstly, to reconise who we individually are.and are strenghs and our weaknes.we need to learne skills that are not natural to who we are.i have certain strenghs but lack others that you may have an abundance of.we need to be complete before we can win
a good example of this,jesse livermore understood who he was and what his greatest strenghts were,his tape reading skills whilst trading the bucket shops gave him an edge.yet when he took those same skills to the real market they didnt work.he spent many years having to discover additional elements.one of those elements was TO KNOW WHEN NOT TO BE IN THE MARKET.
in this example we can all move closer to our goal.concider all us in the middle with all are diferent methods indis ect,we get a signal from our system to buy.generally over a 12 month period its not much better than a coin toss..now imagine we spent as much time producing an indi that told us to stay out even though your system tells us to trade,we would increase our systems win percentage.this is just an example.to provoke thought.but very true,its a must element
i believe us in the middle can become great winners
DislikedAlways been a big fan of psychedelics. Psilocybe cubensis mixed in with a little bit of cannabis to wash it all down really illuminates things.
Maybe my regular dosage is a bit too high, but looking at charts "under the influence" typically yields no results. As a matter of fact, half the time it's impossible to recognize whether or not you still exist in the "physical form".
However, there are insights that you can apply to trading by spending time in this state of consciousness. These insights are not directly correlated to trading,...Ignored
Dislikedthat would be an interesting volitile day if everybody was tripping on acid !
thanks for your comments,would be great if you throw somthing into the mix for topic.

DislikedThis would be extremely hard to articulate. The things one experiences in the ether are so profound, that being able to describe them would be challenging, at best.
The simplest way to put it is that it’s like having dinner at God’s house.
How does it give you an edge in trading?
It allows you to feel completely liberated from the confines of your ego. Does that make sense? The mushroom kills the ego exposing you in your true form – pure consciousness. I believe it is this precise experience that has a direct effect on all things in...Ignored
Dislikedyes mr marketz,very much so,infact it makes these forums very useful ,when one can become very cinical about there uses,but on ocasion we get somthing which we infact didnt know that we were looking for !

Seriously though, don't do LSD (or any other psychotropic drug) thinking you'll make money trading.. you'll likely just see the chart implode on itself and have no way to tell what's going on in reality.
If you approach this as "I'll make money taking LSD because magic." Then you're in for some harsh results... and potential flashbacks in 20 years.
