I want to share some thoughts about intuition and generally trading.

I want to share my truth about trading, and especially about intuition, observation and believing in yourself, as I see theres not many people really talking about it this way im gonna describe this. So I hope this can be shared and that people are open minded to absorb some important things im going to say.

Intuition is of course a real thing and can be learned. For some its easier and for others its harder. For me its been really easy with the intuitive side, in fact, Ive always used that side (in my life), wich has come more clearer for me after started trading.

Dont make it harder than it is, thats what ive been doing with trading. I havent really trusted myself, but after journaling a lot, and focusing on feelings it came more and more clearer what MY real edge is, but it was hard to believe it, cause youre told it cant be that way, you cant do it that fast etc, etc...

Of course we can never really know whats going to happen, but, if you REALLY learn to trade with your intuitive side, and with that I mean really learn, you will as I do, not fully accept that " I dont really know whats going to happen" in SOME CASES. Because, If I can sense and state in my mind as I call it, I know the odds are really big, and I trade accordingly to that.

Just to let you know, my biggest trades are from intuition, wich means I havent really been able to explain why its reasonable to do it, but I dont question it anymore, I just do it. yeah, I do have a plan and know how I need to act in the situations, but they are never the same. When looking back on it, if I only took my intuitive trades, I would have made a lot more money.

Now later, I don trade anything else than using my intuition. This is a combination of learning how YOU get in the zone and how you stay in it and just doing whats right for the moment and connecting the intuitive you, and just doing what should be done. Its not a secret to get to this point, you are VERY relaxed, NOT stressed and the other things that you need to get there, they will NOT be the same for everyone. You will have to train you self with a strong will to get to this point, never question it.

Ive been really good at fading the markets and riding big countertrends intraday, thats what my focus been on. I have focused REALLY HARD AND OBSERVED AND LEARNED ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC THING, and really BELIEVED IN MYSELF (after I was convinced over time), but also its been hard at the same time to really believe it. Cause, most of the times, I really cant explain why, I just have the feeling it is the right thing to do atm, no matter how crazy the patterns look like.  Many times, I had this experience, " huh, what, how could I sense that, I cant believe it happened", and this happened A LOT even early for me.

Observation and Intuition go hand in hand, never forget that. Understand this concept and trust yourself, trust your own observations, and really believe in yourself.

Ive been focusing from the start on the intuitive side and trained me right form the beginning. Yeah, you can actually do it, I dont care about what the gurus says or any other trader really, but you do, Ive been doing it my hole life, using the intuition in my decisions.

My focus early have been watching EVERY TICK on the DOW JONES 5 MIN chart, only that one, and feeling the market and just sense/feel whats about to happen. I know my subconscious mind take care of it. I dont know how many times I heard someone says " oh, you cant trust your intuition, you must first do it for 10 years before its REAL intuition" or whatever they say. That’s real BS. I can assure you, I have made EVERY single mistake that can be done, and probably more haha. Just do it carefully and DON’T focus on the money, just find your own process and do what you need to do. In fact, if you can, remove the money from the screen, its for most people just a distraction and keeping them away from the right state of mind while trading.

This job more than any other job in the world, is about OBSERVING, TRUSTING yourself, and build up a good INTUITIVE FEELING (and understand how your intuition express itself) and become a trader and a strong believer of yourself.

And I must say, its of course important that you build youre intuitive side with some kind of knowledge. I haven’t just sat and watched the market and that’s it. Ive been studying really hard my kind of trading im doing, and learned from A LOT of mistakes, what I do really good, and by LEARNING A LOT about myself. And from now reading AL's book, I could pick up even more things about what im doing. Ive found he has REALLY great content, everyone must have something to pick up from his books.

Become an expert on yourself, and observe and believe that your mind can put things together and I promise, if you have Al´s knowledge (as much as you want) in your back, you can do it too!

Ive started reading hes books and watching hes videos recently, and yeah, its never wrong to get other peoples observations, you just broaden your horizons and you see even more things!

Just pick what you really feel is right for you and just practice it A LOT and believe that your own mind WILL put things together, because it REALLY WILL. That I can promise you.

I hope this helps someone who’s maybe a little bit similar to how I trade and see this things but have doubts about if it can be that way or even works or someone else whos just curious about how the intuition can be like.

Cheers,

I hope you have a wonderful day!
