Imagination part 4

If the wind of fortunes happen to be temporarily blowing against you, remember that you can harness them and make them carry you toward your definite purpose through  the use of your imagination. A kite rises against the wind not with it!

If your imagination leads you to understand how quickly people grant your requests when those requests appeal to their self interest, you can have practically anything you go after.

All of use are much alike in many ways.
If you are a salesperson and would like to know what your customer is thinking, study yourself and imagine what you would be thinking if you were in your customers place.

Nothing in life is more exciting and rewarding than the sudden flash of insight that leaves you. A changed person not only changed, but for the better.
-Arthur Gordon

The detective's biggest asset is Imagination. The first question he asks is: What was the motive? if he can find out the motive he can usually find the perpetrator of the crime.

If you want to know what the other person will do, use your imagination. Put yourself in the place of the other and find out what you would have done. That's Imagination.

Every person should be somewhat of a dreamer, Every business needs the dreamer. Every industry and every profession needs them. But the dreamer must also be a doer, or else they must form an alliance with someone who can and does translate dreams into reality.

Imagination and action
Your mind is capable of creating many new and useful combinations of old ideas, but the most important thing it can create is a definite chief aim that will give you what you most desire.

Your definite chief aim can be speedily translated into reality after you have first created it in your imagination. Because it would mean that you know what it is that you want and you have a plan for getting you want.

The battle of the achievement of success is half won when one knows definitely what they want. The battle is all over except for the "shouting" when one knows what is wanted and has made up his or her mind to get it, whatever the price may be.

Your selection of a definite chief aim calls for the use of both imagination and decision! the power of decision grows with its use.

All of us usually make a better fight when our backs are to the wall and we know there is no retreat. We then reach the decision to fight instead of running.

A man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains it's original dimensions

Maximizing Your Profits with Scoring

SETTING YOUR MAXIMUM INTRADAY TRADING LOSS First things first: set a max intraday trading loss. There will be days when you just do not have it. Why do you think coaches pull their players when they are not playing well? They are more harmful on the field than off. When you are underperforming, you are hurting your team and your trading business. You need a system to yank yourself over to the bench. A stop loss is your answer. TRADING BASED UPON THE TIME OF DAY A good trader makes note of what time of day it is, when he trades most profitably, and adjusts his trading to fit such times. Your numbers at the end of the month will not reflect your true trading potential. Make the most trades with the most size during the trading periods that statistically are most profitable for you. Money saved during your weaker trading periods is money earned. Consistency The fact is that most trades you make will start working for you right away. But the new traders also hold stocks that are trading ag...

CAN A FIRM ALWAYS SPOT THE NEXT GREAT TRADER?

 No. But a prop firm can tell who has a poor chance to become a CPT. To be good at anything will take everything you have. Not having developed the skills to work hard is a turn-off. Trading is a skill learned by doing, not just by reading a lot, theorizing, or the faux art of “paper trading.” THE PROS AND CONS OF RECRUITING EXPERIENCED TRADERS Loyalty is a good thing to a point, but it cannot trump logistics and reality. losing money should really bother you. If I am negative three days in a row, I spend a long evening on my couch with a bottle of red wine and comfort food. As traders, we can all recite the memorable line from Wall Street: “A man looks in the abyss, there is nothing staring back at him. At that moment he discovers his character. That keeps the man out of the abyss.”  Traders don’t talk about how they want to trade, what they want to read about trading, or how they wish they could talk about trading. Traders trade, read about trading, and talk about trading.

Reading the Tape

 Dr. Steenbarger, aka the godfather of modern trading psychology, wrote: “My experience is that an understanding of (and ability to read) order flow is one important factor that separates the older, successful generation of day traders from the newbies who only know simple chart patterns and indicator readings.” continue working on the skill of reading the tape and to sell the stock on the offer when the tape showed weakness. “Reading the tape must be learned through personal experience and long observation.” keep in mind that nothing can top experience. Don’t give up. It is not always this easy to Read the Tape. But there are plays where it really is simple. And reading the tape will offer pattern recognition plays that you can exploit. Overcoming a Confirmation Bias We all fight confirmation bias. But it will harm our performance if we do not overcome it. Let the tape talk to you. And use online vehicles like StockTwits and your peers sitting next to you to gain second ...
