You etart with everything and slowly eliminate the variables
Doesn’t include feelings or emotions
I know it’s top secret and I don’t mean to intrude. I just hope there was a clearer description of how this can be done. But thank youuuu!
No worries
Hi @ria_rose, Meditation is part of my routine. I do it morning after wake up, and the evening before sleep. It needs discipline to have result.
Feeling of running out of time can be caused by our endless desire. We need to slow it down by having a good concentration.
Yes! I’d like to think of it as “muscle memory” but for the brain and higher functions than just physical motion and routines.
Yes, trader’s intuition is not present with everyone and it takes (possibly) years to develop it. Think of it as being so used to your trading routines, system, and criteria that one look already tells you all you need to know without gauging it further - “shooting from the hip” so to speak
When we’re starting out on our trading journey, we may have something like this:
All the flashy and fancy gear to help us hit our mark. We NEED the fancy shmancy stuff coz we believe this will give us an edge in our performance.
Trader’s Intuition can be likened to this guy:
Years of training and experience trumps all the gear and everything happens almost instinctively or automatically when we’re up to the task - Trader’s Intuition.
May you break resistances and reach new highs!
But if we say that intuition must be based on something, is it intuition? Maybe just the experience of a trader?
Yes, there is such a thing as trader’s intuition. Over time, as you spend countless hours watching live charts and conducting analysis, you start to develop an intuitive sense of the market. This intuition is a result of accumulated experience and pattern recognition. However, it’s important to remember that intuition isn’t 100% accurate.
The key is to combine your intuition with solid analysis and the right tools. This combination can significantly improve your ability to make more accurate predictions and informed trading decisions. Intuition should complement, not replace, a well-grounded strategy based on data and analysis.
thanks for sharing your experience.
Taking time to meditate twice a day definitely takes discipline and dedication. How long do these sessions usually take? Has there been an occasion when you missed a chance to meditate and how did it affect your day? Although I’m very far from incorporating it in my routine.
Love the examples! HAHA I’ve been seeing these people on Tiktok and Facebook, but using them to explain a forex idea is genius.
That’s a very definite answer. Interesting! Would you say traders’ intuition is something that you possess?
Yeah. Like, past experiences and past observations/ learnings maybe?
Hi @ria_rose. In the beginning I was started by 20-30 minutes per session. When I got better, I increased to 1 hour.
But now, I will meditate for 1 - 2 hours each session regularly. During holiday, I take a break and meditate for 6-8 hours.
When you have done it for long time, you can meditate anywhere, anytime. You can focus with any object around you. The purpose is clear our mind, get better concentration, distinguishing all negative thoughts and desires.
Even when we are eating, we can do mindfulness at every single moment, just like: putting food into our mouth, chewing the food and finally when we swallow the food.
Nah. The reason I dare to say that intuition exists is because I know a trader who has it. Sometimes he makes successful trades on a plain chart without any analytical tools. Of course, it doesn’t work every time—if he’s not confident, he still relies on analytical tools for confirmation.
It depends on your knowledge/experience. Wouldn’t recommend beginners to try and make decisions based on their intuition but once you do get the hang of things I think it can be quite useful in risk management and recognising patterns.
Recognizing patterns without experience is also not easy. And with experience it is difficult to call it intuition. It seems to me that intuition does not exist in trading. There is trading experience and it is mistakenly taken for intuition.
I think it’s all built from experience. More time in the market, more time in other markets, more understanding in things like news and price action and what affects what.
Of course, there is no need to rush learning. Master one skill at a time. Whatever you are trying to master, do it slowly until you get it right.
Trader’s intuition is definitely a thing, but I think it’s more about experience than some kind of magic. Over time, after looking at charts for hours and understanding how the market reacts in different conditions, you start developing an instinct for certain patterns or setups.
But it’s not something to rely on 100%. Intuition is a supplement to the strategy, not a replacement for it.
