This is an extremely thoughtful post. I wish we had more of those on ET. “A lot about trading is to determine what's going to happen next. After you enter your trade, you are at the mercy of other market participants who enter a trade after you. The question is whether based on all...

yes, I know them too. Nothing really works though. That is why I moved on to MPA. It looks a lot better. If you build any black box using TA it eventually gets into trouble. Although my boxes were OK I was never satisfied with the constant "twicking"

hahahahaha!!! No, this is one of my first multi-display trading systems. I am surprised that you have found such an oldie! I was very active in building the Robotic multi security trading platforms based on AI back in 2000 - 2005. Some of them are still working away. Thanks for the laugh, but...

OK, I believe that this is it from me. I don't believe I have posted anything else on the previous thread. Now it is your turn

Such priming experiments can vividly show us how one perception that was outside of our conscious awareness influences our thoughts and actions. Intuitive priming is basically the initiation of brain cell associations via their simultaneous stimulation. In another experiment with our group of...

One of the experiments has been specifically designed to investigate our ability for subliminal “preconditioning”. Since all the traders were situated in one big room that we called “the aquarium” (hence its glass walls) we have created and daily played the audio tape that sounded...

In 2005 I had a group of 38 traders that were given a free access to our trading room so that they can trade, learn, communicate to each other, experiment with different market indicators etc. We even sponsored their trading accounts so they had no fear of losing their own money. Each of the...

If you are day-trading AAPL, for example, solely focusing on your 5-min charts you are completely unaware of the “jibber-jabber” that is coming from your Bloomberg TV playing on the background. But as soon as one of the “talking heads” on TV pronounces word “Apple” your attention...

And now is the last piece of the material that I have posted just before the thread was lost. Perceptions appear in our mind in sequence. It is virtually impossible for a normal human being to retain awareness of two or more perceptual states at the same time. Look at the picture above...

I believe that I have proposed that my research is in the area of Market Perception Analysis (MPA) that is different from all the above methods and it is based on the objective studies of Intuition and Subliminal decision making as well as extracting the knowledge of the market participants...

Behavioral Market Analysis (BMA) The way to study market ANOMALIES through psychology based reasoning. The philosophy of BMA is based on the belief that psychological reactions of market participants to certain types of events systematically influence markets movements. BMA has originated as...

Quantitative Market Analysis (QMA) The way of studying markets through the analysis of artificially created, abstract (mathematical, statistical, mechanical, electric etc.) models that exhibit similar (to real markets) behavior when subjected to similar set of stimuli (market driving events...

I beleive that in the previous thread we talked about the place of this research in the common area of Trading Decision Making. I have proposed a few definions. Here they are: Technical Analysis (TA) The way of studying security’s price and/or its volume changes that occurred over...

It appears that in order for us to comprehend highly dynamic or incredibly slowly developing situations we must have a device that could “tune” the time scale of the observed reality to match the most suitable for our individual perception dynamic range. These devices should play the role of...

Time Modulators Imagine that you are standing on top of a high-rise building and below you is a busy street intersection with the constant flow of cars in four different directions. Even if you had no idea about the intersection’s traffic rules, after observing its busy life for a while...

Overall, both mathematical and cognitive psychology are a fairly young sciences, however, by utilizing many technological advances in computer engineering, Internet, signal analysis and mathematics it is one of the fastest and, in my opinion, the most promising areas of modern science. In...

The very latest significant boost to the scientific methods of mathematical and cognitive psychology came in 1990s from the development of Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). fMRI is a technique for measuring brain activity. It works by detecting the changes in blood oxygenation and...

For the purpose of creating tools that are capable of enhancing (amplifying) the abilities of stimuli detection mathematical and cognitive psychologists often focus on how a detecting system will process a signal, and where its threshold levels will be. Once a signal detection model is capable...

William Ross Ashby started working in 1930 as a Clinical Psychiatrist in the London County Council. From 1936 until 1947 he was a Research Pathologist in the St. Andrew's Hospital in Northampton in England. From 1945 to 1947 he served in India where he was a Major in the Royal Army Medical...

Among them was an English psychiatrist and a pioneer of cybernetics - W. Ross Ashby – whose contributions to the study of complex systems and to mathematical psychology in general cannot be overstated. It is a shame that his two groundbreaking books - “Design for a Brain” and “An...
