NLP can map mental sequences. Tony Robbins used to have folks do firewalks to demonstrate the power of NLP.
A bit more woo, yet effective never-the-less are Applied kinesiology and Radiesthesia. Both can be used to create metrics.
The “pain scale” is yet another tool (more mainstream) to quantify what was previously unquantified.

Yes, what I wrote is actually based on NLP modelling. Mental strategies (order of one’s thoughts) can be mapped out through NLP’s TOTE model, it is like recipe with order in which ingredients are used for trading success. Then once the trader knows what to look for, only then s/he can start measuring it.
Is it necessary to know these things? Absolutely not, people can make money without it, but it’s very useful edge.
I think explaining on public forums how to measure something which most people don’t understand is akin to opening a can of worms. Sometimes people then start focusing on who’s right vs who is wrong, defensiveness kicks in, and so on. The kinesiology you mentioned -- I don’t know if you’re aware of David Hawkins map of consciousness, and his Power vs Force book, fascinating read, although not trading related.
Not familiar with TOTE, what does it stand for?

Brett Steenbarger is a book salesman, all vendor no trader. He couldn't trade his way out of a wet paper bag and in fact has never been a trader. As for enhancing performance he has not measured a single thing and has not a particle of information to support his position. he is all hype and blah blah blah - just one big joke. And that's who you quote to support your argument, just plain stupid.

Maybe you should first get your facts straight about Steenbarger, otherwise you’re just making a joke out of yourself.
On a side note, one can tell a lot about a person by how they conduct themselves on public forum. Genuine feedback and criticism is always welcome, however baseless defamatory replies are NOT.
In your posts in other threads, you frequently refer to other forum members as idiots, morons, etc.
Only emotionally insecure people do such things repetitively. Perhaps you could start a thread and ask people to help you with the chip on your shoulder.
The model stands for Trigger (Test) – Operate – Test – Exit. You can find brief intro here:

RE: David Hawkins, most of us trade out of FEAR (75-100) and GREED (125), yet the minimum level for trading success seems to be Acceptance (350) on his scale.
