Our academic curriculum, our upbringing and our SOP are all within the LEFT brain parameters. Even walking through fire, it is highly unlikely the LEFT BRAIN fanatic will never open up and questions all the situations and conditions that went against them.

The  left brainer who "convert" and open up to questions will start to explore the RIGHT brain. A convert like me takes a long time to open up and seriously question the left brain paradigm. It is super hard to surrender my left brain operations when it comes to trading. As I start to surrender my left brain abilities and focus with my right brain, I start to question the market behavior less and lesser over time and not to judge whether the market is right or wrong or irrational.

It is within us to form opinion if market is not with us Market is wrong and we are still right!!! Market is not at all bother what we think of market. Market is IMMUNE to anyone opinion. Market will do what it wants to do until the TIME has come for a change! while we continue to operate in the logical rational reasoning SOP struggling all the way to try keep up or miss the boat!!!

There is no way we can judge the market and be right when market is not inline with us but we will be judged!!! Market can remain in its current state against us for a long time no matter what the media writes and whatever name we call the market behavior.

Market is not at all bothers or will take into consideration what we think market "SHOULD BE". Market is at it is!!!!

I suppose the old tested proven technique is to listen to the market and follow the market trend no matter how reluctant we feel and how irrational mad it seems. Remember it is our opinion and we are dealing with an INDEPENDENT market trend that is not at all bothered about others.

When we use our quantitative knowledge to apply to the market and we are on a winning streak, we are vindicated. Yet the same technique is not foolproof and unable to escape the downtrend. The key question is one should ask.... WHAT DID WE MISS? WHAT WENT WRONG? HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? How often does one take a back seat, think over and ask if there is another side that he or she did not explore?

Every rise will be succeeded by a fall and every fall will be succeeded by a rise. The question is whether there are signs change is due or developing. The next question is whether the trend is up or down or temporary retreat irrespective which way the trend is heading or a trend change confirmation.

As I slowly mechanize my strategy and execution, my opinion about market behavior diminish over time. It is no longer if the market valuation is cheap or expensive and rational versus irrational. It is about what the market trend is doing now, is it likely to continue further or is it in the process of losing momentum or gaining momentum or is it changing and confirmation.

Now it is all about are there any signs of market trend is changing and confirmation it has changed.

The day we can abandon our left brain SOP controlling our minds and start to appreciate our right brains, that will be the day we see LIGHT!
