I haven't read Dennis Overbye's NYT article "Free Will: Now You Have It, Now You Don't"
but it sparked my interest about 'free will' and how it might affect traders
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/02/s...00&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&pagewanted=all
for instance
some traders are biased toward trading Long and won't trade Short
what causes traders to not 'trade their plan'
then there's
gut instinct / intuition
second-guessing oneself
are there free will constraints that allow such actions, deny others
so
is free will a stable or unstable entity
if
free will cannot be programmed — it's why 90% of traders lose
but
because of free will I can learn to win, win, win
