< To bad I could have used some Psychoanalysis> I understand that the firm you guys use, or were considering anyway, is sponsoring him to give seminars downstream so you will have a chance perhaps. I piled on the C-Buck this morning at 66^17....next time someone asks me what I do for a living I'm going to tell them "I Short the Canadian Dollar; eh, it's a living". I wish the Swiss had given me my entry points last week, I've been scalping it Short but never was able to get off a positional trade. I read Toppel's book but it wasn't memorable to me. Did not get much out of it. Liked Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance better. Always had a sense that intuition played a large part in any success I had, both in trading and in everyday life. However in trading my impression was that if one were to do this sort of thing that we do day after day it was developing our intuition. In other words, what we may consider as intuition is really just an accumulation of experience(s). We hone the intuition every day. What appears to be intuition is merely the subconscious mind fitting things together at warp speed and coming up with a hunch based on prior activity. That's my hunch, so to speak.
