question for those who feel / believe / whatever that they have had a realization that is 'outside of the box'.
there is a lot of text on trading, and for the most part it all resonates badly with me and i see glaring flaws. a lot of it seems to be based on hope (hope that the method keeps working because there is no reason for it to work or not work). it's all same same just different.
getting to a point of thinking outside of this box, what does it take to get to this point in time? does it take hitting your head against the wall for 10,000 hrs until parts of your brain give up and turn-off which reveals a new thinking pathway? is it a seemingly random inspired thought that occurs from nowhere?
it's like we are all writers stuck in writers-block. a few have found their muse and been inspired to greater results. a few think they have found their muse and are producing muppet results. a few are still just poncing around breakeven or worse (like me).
anyone can be told about the latest greatest ma cross no stoploss method. but, can anyone be told the process of how to elevate themselves to a higher level of thinking and perspective?
"thinking outside of the box 101 : for dummies".
i've heard once or twice that the progression for traders is in general along the lines of firstly being completely garbage and as unprofitable as possible, then they get a little better, then they float close to break-even, and then finally inspiration hits them and rockets them to great profits and are finally true traders.
if this is the case then how does one push past that breakeven stage... this is where i am close to and want to break through to the other side.
