Why do you hear traders say 'screen time' matters?
"Watch the ball!"
You're told
on the receiving end of a tennis serve
or protecting the goals from a penalty shot in soccer (football)
But it's not possible.
It happens too quickly.
Instead:
we repeat the activity over and over
processing multiple data inputs.
And with thousands of repetitions gained
your brain improves at forecasting the outcome.
In the case of saving a penalty goal,
maybe it's an awareness of the ball kicker's hips?
A dip of the shoulders?
Or angle of the foot as it makes contact with the ball?
Whatever it is
It's experience gained
over thousands of repetitions
to know what happens next.
And it's no different with trading
taking in many inputs of data
over thousands of hours
creates the experience
to forecast what happens in the next milli-second
But, and this is a BIG but
If you’re only watching price charts
You’re stuck only watching the ball
Why are you not watching multiple data inputs?
So...
it's not total replacement for screen time
But the only shortcut I'm aware of
is trading while watching over the shoulder of an experienced pro
because a professional trader can point out:
All the data inputs to watch
And what otherwise would take you years to see
