Here is some technical news.
I have been working through how traders behave while trading. It has been quite a trip, longitudinally speaking.
Just as the PC came into being so did other processes for dealing with the mind, the heart and the body.
The PC now enables a person to let himself settle in for trading in a personal monitoring manner. I mentioned the inherent difficulties CW traders have. ET has had discussions on the literature involving this. LO, et al, did a surface examination of CW types at trading institutions to gind out when and the circumstances of thier getting wierd while trading. It was a "stressor" testing system on the order of watching water come to a boil and noting (not publically) that trading became unfunctional. The conclusions were that trading with big money is very stressful and people under stress do not trade well.
We will be working in a different analog or algorthim than the traditional above mentioned manner. By examining the contrast to the CW fear, anxiety and anger model to the MADA model which engenders support, comfort and confidence (the knowing that you know orientation) using PC software and ubs interconnections. Technically, we have agreed on using a Fourrier analysis technique that has four modes of observation. We can go through how to make the shift from one anyone's present orientation to the MADA orientation. Presently, a lot of people go through such shifts while dealing with a wide range of situations and issues. This has not been done in most fields with respect to trading in a high velocity modus. Steenbarger is an example (OODA), as is Lo's of the problem and no solution. Applying a solution to an opportunity certainly is not a parallel example. By doing this, though, it will be a contribution to others.
I have the tentative approval of leaders in four fields at this point. They all have base lines. In some cases this is an outgrowth of other ongoing efforts.
As a fundamental science oriented statement what apparently has been observed is that trading as a function as practiced by people can operate in one of two distinct behavioral climates. One of them precludes having a necessity found in the other.
An example we examined was road rage. Some people practice road rage; others do not. If a person wants to change groups; it is generally considered a unilateral opportunity. By using, in situ, this monitoring schema, it is now possible for road ragers to be able to train themselves out of road rage behavior. Road rage is circumstantial and, for some it is present al the time.
There is no way to retrain CW traders to not have the fear, anxiety and anger Steenbarger addresses as continuing maintance treatment or what Lo observed (streeors) and verified at IB's and HF's. But there is a way to use monitoring and self training to operate (behave) in a mode of support, comfort and confidence.
The objective is to avoid the 0 --2 deprivation (up to 50% in the brain) and CO --2 Syndrome of the Bohr Effect.
As a comment on how ET works and the way some behavior is continuing by detractors, the construct of the situation, conditions and circumstances is that all information is not available to all people. Most group or family or couples therapy dwells a lot on what is sometimes called "fighting fair". Having all information available to all parties is a huge factor in this.
The pay it forward orientation we have is not conventional either.
We do not fight fair. That has and will always be made loud and clear by detractors. To get all the information a person has to work to get it simply because it is being sent to the mind as knowledge and technique. Many people in many fields have pointed out that knowledge and technique can only be transferred over time by a purposeful experience based upon repitition to establish long term memory.
The alternative of documenting the knowledge and technique and especially the record and performance is a very simple task. That has been done internally by the providers.
As providers, we fully recognized that the transference we all experienced could be replicated over and over. We each have a performance and records as well.
The result, if undertaken, is that a person puts himself in a position to help others by giving time and/or capital as he chooses.
We feel strongly that we are dealing with what is termed as a paradigm shift. The fundamental requirement to consider this, is to be able to make a shift, if necessary, to begin to deal with the opportunity. If a person continues to disregard the mismatch of this stuff and the CW, then he is going to continue to grind his gears in an untennable situation. AS NIKE doesn't say: IT just doesn't work for that person. This is NOT a "JUST DO IT" situation.
I think SusanaDT just faced her requirements to do something and she feels she cannot do something unless someone like anek is proving he is doing what she is doing now. That is, staying in the same paradigm and adding knowledge and technique to that paradigm.
The literature has proven how the CW paradigm works and inductively blows up. We are doing blow up number 19 right now as the quant era comes to an end. I mentioned February recently. I follow closely what is going on as you may have gathered. I regard 10Q's and 10k's seriously. This month the financial industry and all sectors report out their semi transparent 10Q's for the past third Q. In January we see the 10K's usually by the end of January. Annual planning is getting implemented and February is the second month of "feedback" on the slowly evolving plans already made at this point.
I commented in DEC of 2007 on the "legs" of 2008. Why not? My imparting how the year was going to come down was done by everyone in the financial industry. My views are actually sought although I cancelled appearing on TV last year.
As you saw, AMT4SWA is going to build a plane over a year. By having a neutral bias and taking the offer of the markets day after day (at capacity or a multiple), what money and capital is in life gets to be very different for you compared to all those people living in the various communities all over the world.
Boot camp is here to advance the critical thinking of people who want to contribute to problem solving in the future.
So Friday and Monday required scale changes. As you come to "know that you know" it is a direct consequence of becoming trustworthy (in a personal sense). The offer is ther and you do a routine MADA. The closure each cycle of MADA is telling you "you know that you know".
The mind, unconsciously, builds on the basis of "use it or lose it". Consciously, you use the differentiated result over and over as the inference that joins what you sense becomes you more and more elavated perception. Let yourself do MADA and log. Later after the day ends, debrief. The check books take care of themselves. You apply more and more capital from profits. This is the way it works ....... your job is to take money out of the huge pools and put it to work to solve local problems.
