An imagined experience is the same as the real thing, along as
you imagine correctly. To do that you'd need to research (not
the backtesting sort), just like actors do. I suppose that's why
Gurdjieff was into acting.
Imagining correctly may necessitate one to gets one's feet wet.
But it avoids having to get too deep.
An actress need not turn tricks for customers when she is hanging
out with the ladies of the night doing research on a role.
You just need to see the abyss, be just at the edge, with a safety,
sure as hell don't need to be falling into it.
Reading about an experience and the lessons derived from that
experience is about someone else's response. You also need to
elicit you own response, to know what it is before you can fix it,
if needed.
Else when you do get down to the act and put real money or a larger
bet that you would have need to, what the result will be is that you
got an experience of what YOUR experience is and interpretating
that in terms of someone's formulation of its lessons. Reading is a map
of some of the things out there.
To learn that trading is not about accuracy, precision, (you can and should
be about that in market analysis), I played Blackjack on a computer game.
I forced myself to learn the cardcounting rules, basic and what is called?
advanced (where the cards are actually counted). That was what, 6 years
ago. I hadn't traded a single cent then. But after a month of 2-3 hours days
on it, I internalised what I read in Market Wizards of Blair Hull. I only
internalised
that trading is about having your losers much much smaller than winners and
the win ratio, size of the edge. I have forgotten most of the blackjack
probability
tables but the understanding principles will stick till I die and beyond.
The thing is, I could have gone to a casino. I think I saved myself a
bundle not
doing that (or I might have forgone a big winning streak.:-( ) Or I could have
traded 1 lot of something.
Point is, be economical with you trading capital. Learn to 'steal' trading
experiences
or do it really really cheap! Leverage off what I just told you.
AD&D trading :-)
