My view of the term “intuition” is that intuition expresses our instinctual beliefs in the existence of some ultimate, absolutely reliable certainties. In a world of ultimate uncertainties (such as trading) our practical decisions cannot only rely on theoretically based assumptions. We...

An intuition is a conception in which incompleteness or vagueness of comprehended information is substituted by special mechanisms for producing the feelings of coherence and confidence. Intuitive decision making is mainly based on the concept of “intellectual intuition” that could also be...

Please listen to today's ESM13 opening sounds. It is work in progress, but you will get the idea. Cheers, MAESTRO

Thanks, I got those, but the full blown FMRI set up is so much better!

One of the areas of my IA research involves sensory substitution devices (SSDs) that could be used to convert visual images into music. My earlier experiments employ pleasant musical tones and scales to represent better current market information. The algorithm uses different musical instruments...

Your comments are extremely valid and they are 100% true! At the beginning all the traders use both, charts and gauges. But after 30 to 60 days, when they are 100% comfortable, I remove the charts. If their performance increases then I remove them permanently. If not then I suggest to them to go...

I of course, could be wrong and it is just my subjective opinion, but using gauges based on IAs is by far more natural for traders than charts. The results seemed to be better too. Of course, I understand that markets like chess – there are unlimited number of possible winning games. Some...

Trading is by far better than sex IMO :D . It is always there if you want it It does not bitch about how you are dressed, whether you stink of beer or because you did not shower yet It gives you pleasure and pays you for that if you are not stupid If you are stupid it takes your...

No, the traders were only allowed to use my gauges and nothing else. The trading process is typically the same as you saw in the video. I have done many experiments that proved to me one thing: the moment traders start using charts along with the gauges their performance drops dramatically. I...

Yes, I am telling the truth. However, my studies are just at their very beginning. The FMRI access is very expensive and I only had 2 experiments so far with just five traders. I register the usual outputs that were set not for my study but for someone else’s research (mostly imaging). I just...

Thank you so much for the links! Fascinating stuff! Very similar to my research. Cheers, MAESTRO

Here is a trader's brain who just bought AUD/USD pair.

It is very difficult to describe. I can only show you. So, let me prepare a few examples (I am thinking of the videos) and share them with you. It will shed some light.

I will post some images soon and we should discuss them. A very dear friend of mine is a head of one of the largest hospitals here in Toronto. He lets me in their FMRI lab at night when nobody is there. Because it’s at night I can only get my subjects to trade FOREX. During that time I record...

Sorry, it was a typo :D (Stupid autocorrect!) I meant "Spatial" Thank you for catching the error.

I consider myself extremely lucky because I have an occasional access to a FMRI machine. It is an eye opener! I have discovered that my subjects’ brains usually fire up the areas that responsible for the special orientation while they trade and not the areas responsible for logic or decision...

"So if you want to improve human-computer symbiosis, what can you do? You can start by designing the human into the process. Instead of thinking about what a computer will do to solve the problem, design the solution around what the human will do as well. When you do this, you'll quickly realize...

Thank you! That was obviously a typo!! Thank you for catching it!!!

What an excellent piece! I thoroughly enjoyed it. In terms of my IA based tools, I would be happy to send you some of them to play with.

“So, what is your full name, sir?” The ambulance crew member asked looking at Dr. Rouleau who was sitting on a narrow ambulance bench right beside Michael and was trying very hard to keep his balance when the ambulance was making sharp turns in and out of the 5th avenue evening traffic...
