I use techniques, (lines, levels, sizing etc) to reduce fear. They give me confidence. If I'm feeling very confident, then I do away with most of that and just trade on pure feel. For myself, I have proven that confidence is primary, and technique is secondary, not the other way around. Technique is a tool to achieve confidence, but confidence can also be generated without this.
I know what your next post will be (because we've been here before!)... All I can say is we have different world views.

I bet ya cannot back that up with 100 profitable real trades.
Ill go 10
I just don't get it!!!!
I don't want to be critical or have a go at anyone personally though.
How can confidence be primary?
I thinking having a (proven) methodology that you have confidence in, gives you the confidence to trade.
I can fight against the world champion of martial arts and genuinely have the confidence that I will win, but without training, technique, skill, execution, I don't stand a chance! My confidence counts for zero and is a misguided confidence.
GB can you show us how you put this into practise?
Does the C-Rex paradigm seem ok? If not I can't proceed.
You can't trade?
So the (bad?) news is that all of reality is bull****. The (good?) news is that its some entertaining bull****.
Are you ok with the paradigm? Yes or no? (PS. I know the answer I just want to hear you say it).
That is irrelevant to practical application of " Trading psychology" but,
NO
How are we to accept these gurus' enlightenment when their own premisses is that everything is not real, surely they are taking the piss - looking for idiots to swallow their nonsense and in the process cough up a good deal of $ their way all while promising to fill that lonely sorry feeling one has when you realise you are a loser. Do a Google search on this dude and you get the same old washed search result that all scamsters and spammers have. Same old lost souls praising him. Been going on since witch doctors claimed their own brilliance.
The book cost me about $7.
And as you keep avoiding it I would guess trading with this gumpf has cost you a hell of a lot more.
Show us the out come of this enlightened knowledge GB....... Give us a hand full of trades.
I mention them every now and then on here. You can search through my old posts.
LOL, Figures.
I hope you find what you are looking for one day.
