Well since people have started threads about using Astrology in trading, and using random coin tosses in trading, I think it is at least equally valid to talk about the power of prayer in trading.
Anybody tried it?
Did you notice any improvement in your performance?
At the risk of starting a religious war, if they were prayers of a particular denomination, sect or religion, you might like to mention it. We could rank religions in order of their best effect on trading performance.
As a former Catholic, I'll put in a word for the Rosary, since it is inherently number-based, and cycle-based, and I feel sure it should have a direct application into trading. It is based on a set of beads threaded on a thin chain. You have 5 groups of 10 beads, and each of the group of 10 is separated by a single bead. There is a short additional chain connected in between two of the groups of 10 with about 3 other beads on and a crucifix at the end.
The basic idea is that for each of the 10 beads you say a "Hail Mary", followed by a "Glory Be", and then "Our Father" on the single bead. I think you say "Hail Mary", "Our Father" and "Glory Be" on the 3 separate beads. Each of the ten beads represents one "Mystery" of the Rosary, which (I think) represents some aspect of Our Lady, Mary, mother of Jesus. Even when I was a full-blown believer, I was always a bit shaky on those mysteries, to be honest, but the saying of the prayers was easy enough; a bit mantra-like. During some sorts of church services, usually a priest or a nun will lead the prayers, and cough up all the mystery stuff for you.
Here's the full S.P.:

How is this applied to trading?
Well, I could explain it, but really, it is so easy, it is left as an exercise for the reader.
I made 900% even as I was typing this.
God Bless...
