Van K Tharp Achieving Balance

Achieve Balance in Your Trading/Investing

by
Van K. Tharp

This certainly would rank as one of my top ten tips to you because balance is so important. First, we’ll talk about balance between profits and losses. If you can understand that, then it will be easier for you to understand the importance of balance in other areas.

We live in a world of polarities — good vs. bad, up vs. down, young vs. old, happy vs. sad. The "win vs loss" polarity is just one example of many. In most cases, we tend to judge the polarity in that we prefer one side and dislike the other side. However, one of the secrets to life is to make both sides of the polarity okay. But, what does that mean?

That’s a hard one for most people to understand, but perhaps it will be easier when I explain it in terms of profits and losses. You cannot be a successful trader if you are not willing to have both profits and losses. As the mechanical trader in Book 5 of the Peak Performance Course says, "It’s like only wanting to breathe in and not wanting to breathe out." Both are a significant part of the trading process."

Most people don’t understand this concept at all. They want to be right all the time. They want to make money on every trade. Yet that will not happen because losses are a part of the trading/investing process. When you understand the relationship, however, you can come to terms with losses and make them okay.

A natural part of the trading process is to have a point at which you must unload a position or trade at a loss in order to preserve your capital. Those losses will happen to most people about half of the time or more. And you must make them okay or neutral.

If a loss is not okay, then you will not take it. When you’re not willing to take a loss, it usually gets a little bigger. When it rains, it pours. As a result, it becomes even harder to take — much more painful. If you didn’t take it the first time, as it becomes bigger you will be even less likely to take it. What’s likely to happen? It probably will become even bigger. The cycle typically continues until the loss becomes so big that you have to take it. This typically occurs when you get a margin call from your broker.

However, investors might never get a margin call if they are not margined. Instead, they tie up valuable capital in a falling investment that might last forever. There are probably millions of investors right now who are hanging on to losing investments, just because they are waiting for it to come back. Consequently, you must make it okay to take losses.

The other half of the equation is also important (and equally puzzling). You can’t put too much importance in gains. People who do value profits too highly tend to take them quickly. Why? Because if they don’t take them, they are afraid they will get away.

An example of this was pointed out to me through real estate investors. A group of investors got into a real estate deal that started to lose money. Instead of getting out and taking their loss, they elected to stay in and ride it way down. When asked why they didn’t get out of a bad investment, their comment was, "We haven’t gotten our money back yet."

These same investors subsequently got into another real estate deal. It started to become profitable very quickly. In fact, it rose to 100% profit and more. But the investors who were holding onto the bad investment, sold out quickly at a small profit. When they were asked why they sold, the reason was, "We lost money on the other deal, so we wanted to make sure we got our money back on this one."

This concept of balance is very important and it applies to any polarity you can think of — not just profits and losses.

Waking Up

What Happens When You Wake Up?

By Van K. Tharp, Ph.D.

A lot of things are happening these days that suggest that something major is happening in the world. The US has our first ever black man as a presidential nominee. And it was to be either the first woman or the first black man. When I graduated from high school, I would have guessed that the possibility of the US having a black president in my lifetime was zero. However, I would have also said that the possibility of me being married to a dark- skinned woman, living in the South, was also zero and that happened 16 years ago.

I also think that there is a possibility of a major change in the world economic system soon. If that happens, it will change everything. Most people will find these changes very uncomfortable because major change usually is uncomfortable. In fact, some people have thought that I was being quite negative in my market updates and my view of what was going on. Well, you could make that assumption. But I’m actually quite positive because I think major change is happening that will, in the long run, help the human race.

So let me describe a little more about what I’m talking about. I have a great little book in my personal library by Jeffrey Moses (with an introduction by Mother Teresa) that is entitled Oneness: Great Principles Shared by All Religions. And by the way, as a modeler, I tend to believe that the shared principles are the key principles.

Well one of the key principles, one I’ve been telling people for years, is that “IT IS BETTER TO EXAMINE THE SELF.” Here is what Moses says:

Our activities and successes are based on our inner strength and wholeness. To grow, it is necessary for us to recognize and correct our own faults. Yet, it is difficult to do this since we hide our shortcomings not only from others but from ourselves.

When we gain the ability to recognize and correct our own bad habits, we begin to make rapid strides toward greater happiness and success in all spheres of life. Only by learning to admit our own faults can we become more tolerant and loving to our fellow man and to his shortcomings. p. 51.

Why Knowing Yourself Is Important to Trading Success

• You don’t trade the markets, you trade your beliefs about the markets. Thus, it is important to recognize the beliefs you are trading and determine whether or not they are useful.

• There are optimal mental states for trading and there are very detrimental states for trading. The first step is to recognize your mental state so that you can determine whether or not it supports you. Most people just identify with their mental state and thus don’t even recognize that they are being run by it.

• In order to trade, you must know who you are. And when you know who you are, then you can develop or adopt a trading system that fits you.

• You must know yourself before you begin trading. And when you know yourself, you can develop objectives that fit you and you can then use position sizing to meet those objectives (and it is position sizing, not your system, that you use to meet your objectives). The quality of your system only indicates how easy it is to use position sizing to meet your objectives.

Lately, however, I’m beginning to realize that there is a lot more. If you’ve been working on the Peak Performance Course, much of what you’ve been learning is the structure of the ego and how to reprogram yourself to function at a super level. It’s like Neo (from the movie The Matrix) taking the red pill instead of the blue pill. Once you’ve taken the red pill, you can start reprogramming yourself to do all sorts of super things.

Object Consciousness

But there is a level beyond the red pill. That's what Neo realizes at the end of the original Matrix movie. He’s not part of the matrix at all. He’s beyond the matrix. And when he realizes that, his power becomes much greater than anything in the matrix. Although I’ve seen the answer for many years, I’m now beginning to understand it from an experiential level. I recently heard Eckhart Tolle say that there are two types of consciousness, “object consciousness” and “space consciousness.” Object consciousness identifies with the objects in consciousness. A thought or belief comes to you, and you believe that you are that thought or belief or emotion. For example, someone might say:

· I am very sick.

· I am angry.

· I am trading well today.

Those are all examples of object consciousness. Information flows through you and you think that you are that information. You are your beliefs. You are your emotions. You are the subpersonality that seems to be in control of you at this time. When someone is in total objective consciousness, they are very "asleep." If your head is full of meaningless random thoughts and energies, and if you think that’s who you are, then you are in for a lot of pain and suffering.

Suppose you keep losing in the markets, and you suddenly adopt the belief that your system is not good. If you have that belief, then you’ll probably stop trading it. And you might become quite emotional about the belief, since it might be charged by your reactions to the losses you incurred while trading it. Think of the pain that comes from saying to yourself, “My system no longer works – I’ve lost a lot of money. I’m a big fool and I’ve lost a lot of money. Oh, poor me!”

But let’s look at that belief without the emotion. Your belief is that your system no longer works. If you’ve been trading a long term trend following system in today’s market, you might have such a belief. But wouldn’t a more useful belief be “I have a great trend following system but it doesn’t work well in volatile sideways and volatile downward markets”? However, until you thoroughly examine the belief to determine if it is useful, you will probably think it is a fact. And if you think you are the belief, you will suffer a lot.

Going to a New Level – Space Consciousness

Remember that beliefs are your filters to reality. They shape your reality. So it is important to continually look at your beliefs to see if they support you. In fact, most of the work I’ve been doing with traders over many, many years, has been to simply have them look at their beliefs and emotions so that they can reprogram themselves. But such reprogramming is hard to do 1) if you think your beliefs are facts (meaning they are real) and 2) if they are highly charged. I’ve usually had to get rid of a lot of charge to help people with important belief changes. However, I suspect that I’m going to be taking things to a new level shortly by moving beyond such beliefs.

And what do I mean by that? Let’s take one more step now and look at what Eckhart Tolle calls “space consciousness.” By space consciousness, Tolle implies that you are not the objects flowing though your consciousness at all. You are the AWARENESS of those objects. But you are so powerful at creating your life, that if you decide that those objects (beliefs and emotions) are you, then you will create that reality for yourself. But if you decide that you are just the awareness of your beliefs and emotions, then they are just things moving through you.

I’ve meditated for many years. I’ve heard the statement that you are not your beliefs and you are not your emotions. But when you suddenly understand that from an experiential viewpoint, it changes everything.

Oneness Movement

I was originally introduced to the Oneness Movement from Dr. Van K Tharp and some of his teachings. I find that having a balance spiritually helps my trading tremendously.

The Vision from their website:


" The perfect and the imperfect, the sacred and the profane, beautiful and the ugly, sinner and the saint, evil and good are all manifestations of the one divine consciousness. This is the reality of an awakened being." - Sri Bhagavan

---

Sri Bhagavan's vision, since his childhood days, has been to elevate humankind to an altered state of consciousness of causeless love and limitless joy. To transfer him into an awakened state of Oneness; with himself, with others, with all life. The Oneness University and the Oneness Movement are manifestations of this vision and purpose.

The origins of this vision can be traced back to the time when Sri Bhagavan was three years old. In his experience the whole universe was an extension of himself. His consciousness had always been so. However, as Sri Bhagavan began to experience people, he became cognizant of the fact that people were not experiencing the world the way he was experiencing it. He saw that people felt separate from one another and separate from the world. This sense of a separate existence, he discovered, was the source of human suffering. Sri Bhagavan felt that the human consciousness was capable of a much vaster and richer experience of reality. To restore man to the magnificence and splendor of his natural state of being became Sri Bhagavan's life purpose.

Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma work together in this common purpose. They are a phenomenon around whom miracles and extra ordinary events happen. They influence our life through the power and splendor of their consciousness. Their grace has led many souls from untruth to truth, darkness to light, ignorance to wisdom, bondage to liberation.

The nature of existence is bliss. it is qualified by auspicious qualities of love, compassion, connectedness and silence. Man's consciousness is fettered by concepts, ideas, conditioning and mental constructs.

Thus, Sri Bhagavan observes, "When consciousness is purged of all its contamination, what remains is life - pure consciousness or God."

What is Day Trading

What is Day Trading?

Day Trading is a broadly used term with many shades of meaning. To add precision to our definition, we need to break it down into individual areas.

• Scalping – Quickly jumping in and out of positions with 1000 or more shares with the goal of making between 1/16 and 1/4 point. 1000 shares with a profit of $0.25 each would be $250. Achieved repeatedly throughout the day, this can produce incredible income. If things go wrong the results can be equally decisive. All positions are closed by day's end and the trader is in all cash.

• Day Swinging – Finding between one and three nice moves a day. The goal is to make between 2 and 5 points per trade while holding a position between 5 minutes and 5 hours. Share quantities can be much lower than 1000 and still have positive results. All positions are closed by day's end and the trader is in all cash.

• Sleeping – Holding a moving stock overnight with the anticipation of a significant gap the next morning. Retail investors come home from work and see that the stock is up and place orders overnight, which brings the price up further. The stock then Opens the next morning significantly higher than the previous day's Close. The goal is to sell before or at the Open for a gain of 2 points or more.

• Swinging – Holding a stock between 2 and 10 days, with the goal of making 5 points or more, and selling the stock when its daily trend reverses direction. The trader uses day trading direct access software in an attempt to get in and out at a more optimum price.

Many Day Traders use a combination of these methods, depending on what each individual situation would appear to warrant.

The advent of the Internet and electronic trading has put real power into the hands of ordinary traders and investors that was never previously dreamed possible. Demand for services has brought prices down to unparalleled levels. For between $80 and $130 a month -- even less, depending on number of trades executed -- anyone can now have all the bells and whistles of real-time access to the Stock Market.

But this power is a double-edged sword. The ability to buy and sell thousands of shares with the click of the mouse can be extremely rewarding or devastatingly dangerous. With power comes responsibility. It’s estimated that the washout rate for new day traders is between 80% and 90%.

Simply put, just because its so easy doesn’t mean its easy. Everything is easy when you know what you’re doing, but the learning curve can destroy you. Unfortunately, many people get into the market without learning all they can before putting their money on the line. By the time they start to understand the game, it’s too late. They’re broke. Or worse, in debt -- when the broker sells their losing stock out from under them to meet margin calls.

The secret of success in trading the stock market is the following:

• Have a Methodology for anticipating the probabilities

• The ability to control emotions

• Discipline to adhere to a tested plan

• Carefully managing Risk.

Failure, therefore, can be attributed to this:

• The habit of allowing greed, fear, or sloppiness to assert itself over intelligent planning and execution.

The goal then, is to work with a tested rationale for Entry, Exit, and Risk Control. History repeats itself, over and over again. The Day Trader must understand the past in order to confidently anticipate the future. Using the odds as a tool, trading stocks becomes a game of waiting patiently for high probability situations to present themselves, and then taking full advantage of them. In the event that things don’t work as expected, the discipline to exit quickly and not wait for the stock to “come back” is mandatory.
