I think many confuse their intuition with their "gut feelings". Intuition is not a *feeling*. However, I find it can come as a quickly developing awareness that can evoke a feeling. But what motivates me to a specific action is my awareness of what can happen next in a particular situation, not what I am "feeling". I do not focus on or rely on what I feel as I trade. Actually, I do not want to feel anything at all when I trade. I want to be like the surgeon at the operating table in terms of my training, plan, focus, and discipline. But apparently some people desire or need the false sense of security their feelings can provide them. I also think when a trader applies their rules and sticks to their plan, this helps frame their perspective that intuition can develop from.

Just some thoughts FWIW.
