Ok a serious answer out of me at long last...my opinions on intuition:

Intuition is a byproduct of experience. But not just any experience. It is a byproduct of experience that is analyzed correctly. This is why in my opinion it takes so long to develop intuition for many, yet a few seem to get it quickly - they analyze their experience correctly so when similar situations come along they draw the correct conclusions based on the available information. Developing intuition may require several major paradigm shifts so that experience may be analyzed correctly. "Correctly" in this context means profitably. If we "learned it wrong" previously, it may take a significant amount of time to unlearn. If we "learned it wrong" then our intuition is probably going to be wrong as well. If we never learned it in the first place then our "intuition" is merely a guess.

So for me the discussion of intuition should be preceeded with a discussion on gaining useful experience, and profitably interpreting that experience. After experience has been properly analyzed then the insight that comes via intuition becomes available to us and can be used as a tool in trading profitably.

I agree 100%. It is no trivial thing to know how to learn how to learn - it is one of the key traits differentiates us all...

Even Michael Jordan needs a trainer...Great hitters film themselves...etc. I do not know what the equivalent is for trading...I suspect that it is a lonely journey, unless one is fortunate enough to find a mentor...

The Penrose, etc stuff is _REALLY_ interesting, but it can get in your way of trading (Commisso, I know you disagree :) )

Actually Nitro I do not disagree with you at all...

Trading is existential not intellectual. That is why I find a thread of this nature so amusing. Traders trying to put there finger on something that defies conceptualization by its very nature.

I read a lot and I draw from many different sources Nitro, BUT I am not seeking any absolute truths... These sources can open doors BUT the way is to be found through action not thought... For somebody who does not embrace this it can and will get in the way...

PEACE and good trading Nitro,
Commisso
