So after reading Unconscious Vs Conscious Competence, my thoughts are drawn towards not only the way to identify and harness the intuition we have, but also to understanding the level of accuracy of intuition. If you can’t trust your knowledge and preparation as a trader then how can you trust your gut feelings? However, even this isn’t what I really wanted to discuss. The question I have revolves around whether or not our subconscious minds are emotionless. The next idea is whether or not subconscious logic can be influenced by historical conscious emotion and then the next is whether this intuition can be swayed by current conscious emotion. Or is it our conscious interpretation of our subconscious intuition that brings emotion to the table? A thought I had was that if there is a subconscious emotional part to our brains, just as we store up logical memory to be called upon in the form of intuition, wouldn’t it make sense that that we have emotional intuition? Just as logical intuition is formed by experience, practise and knowledge this would hold true for emotions. So either you see a setup and become focused or happy because your subconscious tells you that similar patterns in the past were profitable for you, or maybe you become negative because you know you have a poor position. Then it turns into that old emotional game we all love so much. The other part to the idea is that if it holds true that emotions are just as much part of our intuition as logic, then surely we could be subconsciously hampering our own experiences with inaccurate emotional portrayals of historical events?
