In today's information age have you ever considered the vast amount of information we must process daily in the normal course of our lives. This can prove to be a challenge when we can only take in 1% to 2 % of the information available at any one time.

As a trader or investor the challenge is even greater. If you looked at every market in the world simultaneously you would have more than a millions of bits of information coming at you every second. Many traders have two to ten computer screens operating at the same time. This flow of information does not stop at the market close since there are markets open around the world at all times.

The human brain is only capable of taking in 1% to 2% of all of this vast information at any given time. Few will admit that most of this overload of investment information is of such low quality and has little predictive value (I'm thinking of chat rooms and newsletters). In order to cope with the limited potential of the brain and the low quality of information it can receive we all become selective by generalizing, deleting, and distorting most of the information. It becomes even more confusing when one guru says the general market will go up, while another says it will go down. Or one news channel says the market will go down while another newspaper says it will go up. Add it all up and what does the average investor come to? Confusion, that's what.

Because of the information overload mental strategies become especially important in determining the profits or losses that you will experience as a trader. Most investment decisions are made because of verbal suggestion by someone, a newspaper article or a newsletter, a call into a hotline service, or an arbitrary study of visual representations of the investment's history (called a daily bar chart, a financial report, etc.). Thus, most of these sources of information are coded and recoded many times and are, at best, far removed from the original source (assuming the original source is even reliable in the first place).

How we process information can have a huge influence on our trading results because we use that information to make trading decisions. Thousands of volumes have been written on how to analyze the vast amount of investment information available.

The driving force and desire in the heart of every trader since the beginning is to find the ideal system of trading that would provide all the perfect answers to insure his or her individual financial freedom. In order to find the ideal system of trading for you Wisdom says, you must test and prove all things. That is why I encourage all students to test the power of my system and prove it to themselves before risking a dime. Because I have traded my trend following system for years I can tell all my students with confidence that their belief level will move from 99% to 110% after they manually back test it on ANY daily chart.

One of my core values at ETF Trend Trading is to teach you the skills of trading so that you can prosper and control your financial future for a lifetime. It is important to me and to your confidence and success that you actually determine the value of the ETF Trend Trading system by use in the live market, be it demo account or live money. Not classroom theory, like most others teach.

Remember, Wisdom, says to test and prove all things. Even higher Wisdom says to do it without risk. That is why I offer a money back guarantee as stated on my homepage. If that does not show confidence and wisdom than I don't know what does.

To slow and steady growth,

Big A
