CONCLUSION

Regardless of the changes that a trader may face in the markets or the way in which he trades, he will eventually find himself either avoiding opportunity or being blind to it if he does not continue to stretch his comfort zone. Traders need to be flexible to handle change and see things in new ways in order to correctly perceive opportunity. Instead of shrinking from opportunity because it represents change and discomfort, traders need to continue to take from their old patterns what is useful and discard the rest. They need to build into those patterns the process of ongoing modification and the expansion of experience that allows them to see what works on the ever-changing playing field of the markets. These flexible patterns will allow a trader to continue to feel the good feelings of satisfaction and excitement for the process of trading. These good feelings will not only prevent a trader from sabotaging his trading results in order to feel excitement, they will keep the door to opportunity wide open.

When you give your neurology a pattern of how to focus and repeat it frequently, you will find that focus will then become the path of least resistance.
