Does meditation help you trade in any extent?

[Waylen]

Helloooo! I’ve just been going through the threads here and I think it’s super interesting to see discussions on spirituality and meditation interacting with forex trading, I didn’t expect it so now I’m curious if you guys have tried incorporating meditation or mindfulness techniques in your trading. How has it changed the way you trade, if it had any impact at all?

I've practiced Vippasana for years but not much recently. It keeps me from beating ppl up.

LOL! You're an unusual case... almost nobody on ET knows that.

"Soothing your chakras" ain't likely to do squat for the P/L of most traders. Logic, diligence and discipline are the keys for most of us retail screen jockeys.

You're clairvoyant. He still barks on command.

It doesn't help, man. You just gotta' find the chant that relaxes you.

Asian monks are not it, methinks. Try some Hedningarna. A bit more energetic.
