Seeking Advice

(1) Anytime that you seek trading advice from a person, "always" begin the conversation with the question, "Which Lessons have you completed?" Never assume the answer. Then, follow that question with, "Where did the precise rules work, and where did they not work?" Be sure to get specific dates, before
using someone else's biases. One great thing about the martial arts is that
people get "belts' to publicly display their skill level, based on a thorough test by the Sensei.
(2) Building automatic responses in the Practice is 10,000 times superior to advice. Anytime
you describe something or talk "about" something, you are using a map of a Map of a MAP, and that is far removed from the present Bid/ Ask.
