Have you ever TRADED IN YOUR SLEEP?

Quote from ari_veru:

new dream that I'm short 20-30000 shares of some stock premarket and it's getting halted and opens 10 points lower

Sounds like you're getting more confident. If you're short a large position, and the stock opens lower, you've lucked out.

Sometimes the subconscious really can work out solutions in dreams that we can't manage to work out with our conscious brain. The genius can access that kind of thought consciously. Geniuses often get solutions to some problems through their dreams after working on them for a long time.

There's a famous genius who said that his best ideas came when he wasn't consciously solving the problem

What's wrong with us? I had a dream last night I was long 10,000 Apple June 2015 Calls and I am arguing on the phone with my brokerage "June AAPL Options are Expired!" They said "we can just roll them over to next June for a small fee!"

The Nasdaq Level 2 or Super Montage was weird in my dream, all you had to do was touch the screen and get filled at prices below the Market and sell above the Market, it was a freaky dream.

To people here with psychology backgrounds, what does this mean when we dream almost every-night about Markets and not orgies or hot women like Katy Perry (for female traders you can have your pick of who rocks your World ). I have a dream about four times a month where I am stuck in a position and I can't get out, there's a telegraph machine and Jesse Livermore is standing in the background telling me to sell my stock before the big earthquake hits California and I am stuck with worthless shares. How weird did your dreams get, it's crazy when your Broker or Market Maker walks out of your monitors to have lunch with you. I know, my dreams are total nuts!

Telegraphs and computers are mixed plus someone has a cellphone, this must be a tweaked time line of when Livermore was a kid yet we have cellphones and computers too, our brains are incredible machines and subconsciously we are exposed I think, a psyche major might help?

It's interesting to wake up in the middle of the night and check on a large position. My trading sees no detriment from that half-conscious state.
When I've been especially active in a market, I'll sometimes feel how the market is rotating, even though I'm away from my screens.

My dreams are a good deal more bizarre than market fractals.

When I first started trading, I was sleeping and kept on yelling out "Half bid!, Half bid." My wife tried to get me to stop, but I wasn't listening. I then screamed, "Ok five eigths bid, five eigths bid for the fifty calls!" Again my wife poked me trying to get me to stop. Again I kept on yelling. Finally my wife figured out how to stop me. The next time I yelled out a bid, my wife yelled back, "Sold" I did not scream trading dreams again.

LOL, i liked that
