EARN SERIOUS TRADING PROFITS BY USING YOUR WHOLE BRAIN! Legendary traders like Jesse Livermore, George Soros, Richard Dennis, and Steven Cohen use their full range of powers that encompass both instinct and analysis. That’s how they made their fortunes–and that’s how you can, too. In Trading from Your Gut, Curtis Faith, renowned trader and author of the global bestseller Way of the Turtle, reveals why human intuition is an amazingly powerful trading tool, capable of processing thousands of inputs almost instantaneously. Faith teaches you how to harness, sharpen, train, and trust your instincts and to trade smarter with your whole mind. Just as important, you’ll learn when not to trust your gut–and how to complement your intuition with systematic analysis. You’ve got a left brain: analytical and rational. You’ve got a right brain: intuitive and holistic. Use them both to make better trades, and more money! “Whole Mind” trading: the best of discretionary and system approaches How winning traders use analysis and disciplined intuition together How to profit from other traders’ “Wrong Brain Thinking” Understand other traders, without acting like them How to provide a firm intellectual framework for your trades What successful traders have discovered about the market’s structure and laws The unique value of intuition in swing trading Use your intuition to trade patterns that computer technology can’t recognize

They act, that action is recorded, and the sum actions of all participants form the patterns we see. Period. There is no conspiracy and there is no randomness.

The extreme example is a market crash, but we can see this rapid shift after takeover announcements or surprising earnings news. This is sometimes exaggerated by news emerging between trading sessions. Technicians call these situations “gaps” because they leave a void on the charts.
