Right Brain vs Left Brain - Traders Laboratory - Active Traders Forum | Thread profile

I havent seen a thread that discusses our right brain vs left brain functions and how it relates to trading. I figured I would start it here so Dr. Janice can add her inputs as well. When I first started trading, my trading was based strictly off my left brain. Now this seriously conflicted with the way I traded because I have always been a discretionary trader or a pure ...

<<When does your right or left brain kick in when you trade?>> I am big believer in the 'synthesizing' part. The ability to synthesize evolving price patterns across multiple timeframes and put them into their proper context is the most important trading function in the brain, IMO -- and that is right-side....

The article I wrote for August SFO mag is an attempt to show how the emotional and rational pathways in the brain work together or don't work together. It is much to simplistic to think in terms of right brain and left brain. It is a starting point to understand that there are high road and low road pathways involved in making decisions. There is a Mr. Spock and a Dr. McCoy...

Hey James, I recommend reading the book "A Whole New Mind" by Daniel Pink. It is a quick and pleasant read that will answer many of your questions, I think. In the book, Pink discusses three forces - Abundance, Asia, and Automation - which should cause people in many professions to re-evaluate their ability to remain competitive as we transition from the "Information ...

I realize that there is a certain "Star Trek" qulaity to what I am going to suggest, but it seems to work for me. If you put on a set of headphones and play specific tones, you can induce specific brainwave. You want an alpha meditative state? Play a 10hz isochronic tone in your ears and you've got alpha. This is called "brainwave entraiment" and nearly all forms of ...

Quote: Soultrader Hi Ant, Thank you for your recommendation. I did a quick search on amazon and found a different interesting books also written by Daniel Pink called, A Whole New Mind : Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future. Are you familiar with this? Im debating which one to read at the ...

Thanks Ant. I will order it and read it over the weekends sometime. __________________ James Lee Email: JamesLee@traderslaboratory.com Web: www.TradersLaboratory.com Leave a Voicemail: Snapvine Skype: james.lee03 Traders Laboratory.com TL! Toolbar | ...

Mind Over Markets touched very briefly on this subject. I agree it takes a while to rewire the left to the right or vice versa. I think in order for my right brain to be creative from constant information without interruption from the left brain, I write down in advance on the chalk board the rules made by the left brain to remind the right brain of its obligations. I think ...

One of the first "rules" I read about trading was that intuitive traders inevitably fail, a paper system is the only option. It is good to see that many disagree. I tend to see any paper system as liable to be or to become inadequate. They amount to turning off your brain and trading like a robot. It would be nice if you could leave it to a robot, we could all retire ...
