the being of being
I recently read comments that made me think of why we do what we do. Take traders for example. They are studying charts and data to get ahead. An excerpt of the book Paradigm Lost was used and I read about Being. What traders actually see in charts, etc is what lies on the surface. The power of ideas comes from being in the market. Timing is obviously essential and this article made me think of the multidimensional model, taking into account the past, present and future.
What can't be accounted for is real comprehension of the markets. Why must we always think in terms of one graph, one chart or one idea? Good traders don't. What one individual trader does goes out to the market collectively to be digested most likely the same way that individual trader digested the previous information used to make the decision to execute an order. The article asks if there is a way out. Think totality of markets.
With so much uncertainty in equity markets now can we assume that most traders will sit on the sidelines? Probably not. There happens to be too much "happenings" which gets people involved in the study of graphs, charts and data so to discern information to make an order.
And so on and so on and so on.
