Trading and meditation

When I read about 'star' traders, there seems to be a high number who say that meditation, or some form of visualisation exercise, have helped in their trading success.

Does anyone here meditate ?

Regards,

Ivor

kidding.

Yes. I aim to meditate twice a day, and usually do. Just a case of getting up earlier and fixing your intent on making the time.

I also use a number of purposeful visualisation techniques. Not just for trading.

I find the best time to meditate is on the Toilet.

Yes. I guess it's important to have the discipline to make the time.

In case anyone's interested, here's an interesting site about meditation.

Hi
good subject ivor.......I dabble at it ...which is the wrong thing to do, as Tony says it is a case of making the time & like anything , making it part of you daily routine.

even dabbling at it has benefitted me no end. I am looking for some type of class to join to put my focus onto it a little more

at the and of the day the 'inner self ' or 'spirit' (call it what you want) just wants peace, instead of wanting to be 'right' all the time..which is the Ego at work.......this benefits in many area's , not just Trading

Jay

Hi Jay,

I bought one a little while ago and I think it's brilliant. I've tried to meditate before, but not got anywhere with it. But now I find I can relax and meditate really easily.

I also bought the Biofeedback game from the same site which is amazing. (My kids love it too).

Regards,

Ivor
