you left out the obvious test -- the ratio of sell orders coming
from "sell" phones to regular phones... :-)
but more seriously now, it is my feeling that astro infuences on
behavior is one of those areas of science where there is something
out there that we don't really have our arms around the whys just
yet. Just because we don't know why something works a certain way
don't mean it ain't so.
Do I use astro in my trading? no. But because I don't know how to
fit it in now doesn't mean I won't someday. Virtually everything I
do use in everyday trading analysis now (and for that matter the very
fact that I am doing this) came out of some past vague curiosity to
find an order that I sensed was there. One of the most powerful
things I got from Mark Douglas years ago was to ask myself
questions...and just trust that someday the answer will come. Maybe
the magic formula to bring astro into my mix will come some day,
maybe it won't. It certainly won't if I dismiss it today as being
without merit because I haven't learned what I need to learn to use
it.
Astroreceptive I remain,
Chris
