Hypnosis helpful ?

A few months ago I stumbled across "Symphony of Science", I thought "An Ode to the Brain" would be fitting for this thread...

Quote from Handle123:

Example: Many men don't like to go dancing, they feel embarassed especially if they don't know how in front of many people, Conscious mind won't even let them try. Guy starts drinking 3-4 drinks which breaks Conscious mind down and now guy is wearing a lampshade and dancing to Pee Wee Herman's Tequila.

Is there a way to "break Conscious mind down" without detrimental effects of alcohols such as loss of concentration and getting tired easier? I don't suppose you recommend trading while under effect of hypnosis...

I changed mind, I think hypnosis indicates an effort on the part of the trader, it may be useful.

I don't know how hypnosis is done, so I have no clue how hypnosis is helpful.

Long ago, I had a number of problems, especially since I have ADHD, lack of concentration. Hypnosis helped me incredible well for so many areas I needed to overcome, I had tried so many self help books, also helped me increase size, handle stress. But I will say, sometimes takes more than one session.

First I thought you were joking.

Then in recent weeks, I progressed mentally to a point where I need some outside help, then it occurred to me that hypnosis may be helpful. It was then I realized you were serious about this hypnosis thing.

I am not sure if I need it, but I will keep my mind open. I need everything I can get to do just one thing and one thing only.

I am thinking that drugs may be helpful. Not those that knock you out. I need to stay alert.

I used to laugh at the guy who took female homone drugs at SAC, now I see the point.

Quote from bearmountain:

jas, if I may ask what type of meditation do you do?

I greatly encourage you to explore meditation. I am not knocking hypnosis - I don't know anything about it. But meditation can truly change your life if you do it on a regular basis. If you don't mind spending a few dollars, check out Meditation Shift. It is quick and easy, and similar to TM.

Quote from jas_in_hbca:

I've recently been wondering if hypnosis would be helpful in my development as a trader.

In searching ET i see very little written about. If anybody has experience with this please discuss. Handle, your name came up in the search. Care to share a little.

What i'm wondering is if it's possible to somehow align the subconscious trading mind with the conscious mind. Perhaps under hypnosis some of my trading rules could be read back to me or my set ups reviewed. The objective would be to create less hesitation, less stress and greater clarity while trading.

Also wondering if I have (i probably do) self limiting beliefs that could be revealed or corrected under hypnosis.

I haven't tried visualization exercises in quite awhile but i believe that could be helpful. Could that be combined with hypnosis ?

Would any hypnotherapist work or would they have to be familar with trading ?

Or perhaps it would be a waste of time ?

I'm not trying to take a short cut , i think it's more of the traders will try anything attitude. (heck, i've even considered burning incensence to create an aromatherapy atmosphere conducive to trading and have been wondering what color to paint my office walls )

pink.

Hypnosis as a remedy to fix character flaws is only temporary and will wear off. Learn self-hypnosis and that you can apply at will. The chance of becoming a better trader is perhaps 50:50 as some basic charcter flaws are deep seated and maybe not easily fixable. It is worth a try if you are dedicated.

Well thought through. My compliments.

Quote from NoDoji:

So I add a filter that states, "I buy breakouts in a strong trend." and include my definition of "strong trend". This now makes it easy to place my buy stop early and feel confident with the trade and my ability to manage it.

How do you go about creating definition of "strong trend"?
