You have to die before becoming a successful trader

Who is a snake-oil salesman? rajesheck? I just asked a question about gap events.
Ask yourself do you ever get a clear and straight answer after you read their posts?

This is the hallmark of snake oil salesmans, always give a vague answer to give themselves a room to reverse their opinion in future if their are wrong.
 
Bloom's Taxonomy : Creativity tops the thought process. Analysis is two steps below creativity. Pioneers and highly successful professionals in any field are creative, intuitive and with quite a few insights which the world always admired.

As i said earlier, caterpillar personalities wont understand or appreciate the world of creativity. These caterpillars are amazingly mechanical in their thought process, very dull from creativity point of view, making it almost impossible to run own business including trading. :)

They may do anything but cannot run own business.

Since trading is an art there is nothing right or wrong. If you are looking for the right answer, i gaurantee you will never get it because there is none. There is no sectrets. Creativity is open secret. Either grab it or fail.
 
My question is can create come before planning? We use to debate this way back when...

Generally it is this way...

Intuition comes first. Then comes goal setting, next plan and finally creativity.

Yet intuition itself is creativity only. If we notice creativity is there through out, while setting a specific goal, planning and executing. So creativity is every where. :)

Plan on being creative ~ Create the plan :/

Intuition / Insight : Purely creative
Goal setting : Both creative and systematic
Planning : More systematic than creative
Execution : Both creative and systematic
Analysis : More systematic than creative
Evaluation : Both creative and systematic

No one knows when and where creativity can be used. There is no rigid rules.

Life is all about making and breaking rules. If we use creative idea or insight to make a rule, then the same rule can be broke with yet another creative idea or insight.

Creativity simply means making new rules by breaking old rules, regularly. :)

Creativity is not a one stop. It is a way of life.

If we are not able to break certain rules, set by ourselves, for quite a long period, then it means we are suppressing our creativity.

I see your point and realize we do "create the plan". That is creative. Semantics, been there done that too many times. Same argument in systems engineering, is it process first or data first. However, data is static. And process varies depends who you talk to.

First, creativity comes in the form of intuition or insights.

Second, for intuition or insights to be manifested we need proper goal setting, planning, execution, review, analysis etc.

Third, we may get insights in every department from goal setting to execution.

Fourth, in creativity based professions insights comes first. In other professions insights are mostly within the departments.

Fifth, trading is an art and thus insights about the trading philosophy comes first even before goal setting or planning.

These aspects makes sense only when a person dies and reborn into a creative person.

A creative person wont argue. Because he is a realised person that there is nothing right or wrong in life.

Creativity in not about winning the arguments. It is all about living to our fullest expression.

Less than 1% of traders are reborn into creative nature. So majority of people wont appreciate or understand my posts. I acknowledge it. That is nature.

On the positive note, there is huge potential that many more traders might die and reborn in future.
