LEVEL FOUR: THE PROFICIENT TRADER
Back to contents page

Proficient Level Objective: To trade your own belief systems

Tools: Left hemisphere, core, right hemisphere (brain wiring)

At this level, a musician's prime objective is to be able to communicate feelings through the language of music. Feelings are translated, through a pianist's fingers, to the piano keys, which make sound waves that move listeners' emotions. In trading, you are trading your belief systems (aligning your underlying structure with that of the market), and your enjoyment comes not only from making profits but also from the satisfaction of feeling your trading is in sync with the market. Level Four is a quantum leap beyond the three lower levels. In history, it is the electronic revolution that allows us to bring in much more powerful data processors than ever before available to humans. Stability we formerly counted on changes at an ever-increasing rate. My 486 computer, my tool for writing this book, has more manipulating power than everything available to the entire world in the past century. Think about it: from this single keyboard, I have more computing power than the entire world had only 100 years ago. To give you an idea of what is happening at an ever-increasing rate, let's go back to 1975. At that time, a Rolls Royce sedan cost $65,000. Computing power at that time was much more expensive than it is now. If Rolls Royce had reduced the ticket price of a sedan as much as the price of computing power has been reduced, the same model Rolls purchased new today would cost 30 cents. We now have the power, at very little expense, to look at infinitely large masses of data and infinitely small particles and divisions. This puts power into the budget of every trader. The complexity of chaos, which has been anathema to progress, is now becoming available everywhere. In math, this level is calculus, which allows us to "differentiate" to micro infinity on the one hand and to "integrate" to macro infinity on the other.

Traders also make a quantum leap to this level. They begin to see that they are a vital part of this whole process, and they bring to the equation all of their background, philosophy, and belief systems. At this level, traders make use of the fact that no one trades the markets, they trade their own individual belief systems. Just as the computer revolution has allowed us to see inside the masses of data and to make sense of them, the new science of chaos is allowing us to look into our behavior with a focus not available to the Aristotelian, Euclidean, Newtonian, and classical physics/psychology approaches.

At this level, we begin to understand and work with our own personal body type and our individual brain structure. The Prof itunity Trading Group has developed this understanding to a new level of precision. Our objective is to align our own personal underlying structure with the underlying structure of the market. Let me restate that when that happens, winning becomes the path of least resistance.
