Re: Developing Trader's State of Mind Discussion

The only negative was that the webinars were all at 11:30pm on my side. It made it a bit difficult to stay focused and alert, but the recordings solved that. Pipsqueak


Hi Could you pl post the link where the webnars are located ... very interesting discussion.


Thank you


Pat

Since I don't keep stats on my webinar courses performances (only on my individual course), I join SIUYA in appreciating feedback.

Re: Developing Trader's State of Mind Discussion

Haven’t been reporting because I took a long holiday… just now getting back into the swing …

Progress Report: Still implementing Session 2 – mindfulness

Bringing into awareness dimply what IS - some in terms of insights into the archetypal framework presented in the classes and some in an inner framework that uses no language / verbiage. Watching the pre-existing level s of the (archetypical) energies, identities, etc of those archetypes identified in the course as strengths to be brought to the fore, etc. …

Also took the PMAI. Nothing really surprising there.

Would also be interested in what the others are doing with this... thx

Re: Developing Trader's State of Mind Discussion

Progress Report:
Now that I ‘know’ or at least have developed sufficient awareness of how the ‘players’ / factors (previously and) currently operate within me (along with hopefully adequate awareness of the accompanying emotional ‘symphony’), I am now beginning to implement the essence of the week 3 session. It brings a certain set of challenges to me individually, and I can imagine and empathize how it could possibly bring many varied challenges to others during this part of the process.

Re: Developing Trader's State of Mind Discussion

Update:
…still proceeding through my experiences of "Session 3"… by now I may completely off the reservation

One thing I notice is just how inactive, sans ‘intervention’, some of the big four can be in a typical session or string of sessions

Another item of note is just how disparate my pre existing gestalt of the arch’s are from Rande’s (and his students that I have contact with.)
for one, mine is a developmental orientation… but the differences go far beyond that at times…

General question. If ____ and ____ archetypes were (generally more) active / available / less disowned, would my ‘stream of content’ be different? What would it sound like?

Wow! This is interesting, and I am not sure if my responses will be consistent with your observations and question. The "big four" are what I teach for the basic state of mind. They are discipline (Ruler), impartiality (Sage), courage (Warrior), and patience (Caregiver). Notice the link between emotional state and archetype - this is operationally how an inherent element of the self will show up in your awareness. Usually they are not present in a trader who has not become consistently successful. They really have to be brought forth into active awareness. I also teach Creator (intuition) and Destroyer (cutting losses early) as a client demonstrates that can work with the basic four in their trading (follow their trading plan).

Archetypes will express themselves in developmentally appropriate manners. For instance, the Orphan (the fear that traders often act from) also has an empowered side. It becomes the resilience and vigilance needed to maintain a developed state of mind under the rigors of trading.

For your question: I have no idea of how to approach it. Help me understand that last part.

And back he comes with more discredited early last century jungian nonsense.

Funny how trading snake oil merchants hang in with this sort of rubbish.
