Anyone ever try it? Obviously you don't want to take more than a tab or two so you don't get crazy color hallucinations that keep you from being able to see your charts/TAS/LII... but I would imagine it would make it easy to be in the zone and harder to lose emotional control without having an awareness of it (thus losing control while trading and tripping would likely yield the trader insight). I'll be trying this sometime in the next few weeks.
My previous tests have concluded:
High on pot, my results can be erratic, as both my record winning and record losing days were while I was high (in succession, too... luckily the winning day was higher than the loser).
Alcohol=overconfidence and recklnessness, while also fearless in winning trades (not a great tradeoff to me)...
Amphetamines = more focus, more itchy trigger finger, more likely to get pissed off and revenge trade and obsess over the need to get revenge in a single stock.
Obviously if tripping on acid while trading works, it's not something that can be done more than once every two weeks or once a month, but it could be very therapeutic and enlightening... I'll report back on the results in this thread. I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this.
