Consciousness as trading tool

A practical answer to youre question:

After many years of doing this, i should add some to that: Even if there was 1000 questions and i answered them all, that would not be enough i think. Even if i wrote 1000 books about trading that would not be enough to learn from. Same as i couldnt teach Aikido just by talking. It needs to be practiced.

There might be some ultimate formula for doing it, but im not aware of any such thing.

However, that didnt work out i think, sellers had their chance, they didnt take it so i closed it.
I might be wrong about it, but at least i didnt loose anything.

Very interesting concept.
"You're feelings are the BEST tool" , this is only true when YOU generate the feeling not the environment
"The Buddhists are TOTALLY correct to say that attachment is dangerous" Yes it is dangerous but only if you allow your best tool to be guided by what the "world" presents to you.

The knowledge or or knowing of who you are is the best "knowing" that is a must.
When you know what you think and how you think and why you think then you can determine what happens in your life.

You see nothing is "bull shit" Hope (Highly Optimistic Perceptive Energy) is not "bull shit" it is just a state that we fall into.
"Love" is another and "hate", and "confusion", "jealousy" ETc etc

So how does on realize this?? Easy. When you understand that every state starts in your own self, that is how you realize this.
You see we aren't trained to think in this fashion. For example when someone falls in "love" with someone else, that person gets so envolved with that feeling that they think that the other person is the cause of it. Not so, the reality is that the other person is just a "sample" or the "object" which triggered in you the sensation of feeling "love". So that person is basically a "reflection" of what you already had in your self. So you see once you realize this mechanism that we all have in us then you can control it. You can generate the "feelings", "thoughts", etc whatever cause you are free to do it. But most important you must also realize that you are truth (to yourself) and that you are the best etc etc.

Unfortunately many times it takes people to get to the end of the frenzy to come to this realization.

Anyhow what does this have to do with trading? I'll get to the point.
In my experience, I do not look for the "conventional" anymore. I have decided to look for those things that mayority do not consider or since they are simply too busy following the conventional rules that they do not even bother to look for.
For example what trader has in their arsenal the ability to calculate the probabilities:
1. Times an approach hits a major drawdown
2. 2-3 week recovery after a major drawdown is hit

Winners are easy. It's when you are in trouble and how you get out of it that is the real money maker. What do you do when you have lost 10,20, 30%?
How do you get out of that trouble? If you get out of trouble, how long will it take you to recover and how certain is that?

So with a little imagination and some statistics we can find this info for any given system.
But how do we handle those times that the stats just don't match the "reality"?
Simple, start small. That way you can afford to get hit n the beginning stages of your live trading with that moment where the system fails beyond your calculated stats.
The idea then is to continue building until you get to a point that where those type of hits are relatively insignificant. You simple do what you did when you were using a small account, take the loss, and continue making more pips.

So lets see your approach. Lets observe it. Lets imagine how it can be profitable and especially how we can attack the losing side.
Then when we have the facts and stats we can then trust our approach to lead is into profit.

In summary you are in control, despite what the "reality" may be presenting you, you can take control at any moment.
-Use your imagination to create the "feelings" that you want to create
-which in turn generate the chemicals that you send to your body
-which then creates a physical state that you decided to create.

It all starts like that and we all have that... we have had it since we were born and it will be with us until we leave this "realm".

Take care and hope to contribute

A good contribution my friend. You put some things into words thats been floating around in my head as vague notions. I will meditate on this and find out if i have more to add to it.
