[12:39] {dino} ty
[12:40] {Threei} participating in a discussion elsewhere, I quoted a few pieces from A Taoist Trader, let me paste them here
[12:40] {Threei} "An unclouded mind listening to the original market language maintains a magical mix of simplicity and sophistication."
[12:40] {Threei} "A Taoist Trader possesses the ability to simplify the situation and outline his options in a straightforward way. One�s trading approach must be simple enough for a trader to see clearly; overcomplicated systems that are difficult to explain, understand, and remember are not very effective. Vagueness in a trading approach is a sure sign of a bad design."
[12:40] {Threei} "A Taoist Trader, in his quest for clarity and simplicity disregards a large part of the body of knowledge commonly considered necessary for trading. He dismisses TV channels, newsletters and the endless flow of opinions expressed in numerous blogs and articles. In conversation with pundits well versed in seemingly useful information he may seem �dull of comprehension.�"
[12:41] {Threei} "His straightforward thinking may strike some around him as �devious,� as social customs call for a more �nuanced� approach. His skills express such simplicity that, in spite of being robust, they may appear �clumsy.� His words express such profound and simple truth that they may sound too simple for those listeners who like to think of themselves as more sophisticated."
[12:41] {Threei} "After the initial stage of �learning day by day,� a �student of knowledge� must turn into a �student of Tao� and start �losing day by day� � discarding the knowledge that does not contribute to his effectiveness. Getting rid of numerous indicators, studies and channels of information while leaving only the simplest forms of visual aid, is a common theme for many successful traders describing their learning process. Trimming unneeded information, a Taoist Trader uses less for better results, thus achieving higher effectiveness."
[12:41] {Threei} end
