i've come in search of the zen here. trading is as much about philosophy as anything else, and i need to learn how to balance my life and center myself. lately i'm all over the map, most of it at the fringe where the lunatic in me runs amok. i hang all too often over the abyss by the barest of threads. zen, then, as i see it is what happens when 'zero equals normalcy'. everything is in balance; there is neither negativity nor positiveness; and the harmony lies in the simplicity of nothingness. of course, in trading stocks one never seeks nothingness. but as it is with zen, there's an art form to trading that is built on perception. i'm working to change mine.
Asleep at the Wheel is all about patience. but even patience needs a plan. or if not a plan, an approach that is a means to the ends. hopefully my friends, the Flick Fingers, will arrive to elucidate further on this.
