Old School Practice


Most of us want to have instant results in trading, and, coming from a hacker background, I'm always trying to figure out how to learn something quicker, faster and better. While doing some research on fun trips, I ran across three European guys who found an old Kung Fu master in rural China. Coming from a long tradition of Kung Fu masters in pressure points, it's interesting to look at his new students training program. Notice that there are only 36 pressure points taught, yet the training program consists of 3 sessions per day, six days week, for 2 years. The old guy was relentless in drilling the three novices until he could wake them up from a deep sleep in the middle of the night, and they could do the move perfectly. Fortunately, with the Practice Software, you can speed up the process, with the same goal of becoming completely automatic when the opportunity presents itself. Even so, it's click-click-click until you're there.
