Traders Who Use Neuro Programmer

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I was wondering if their was any traders who use Neuro Programmer or any other related brainwave tool. If so please share with me some of the aspects and techniques you use it for...

raffa,

 

I have used NeuroProgramer for years ( but am increasingly using MindWorkStation with WildDivine HRV feedback - see below) Great products, good price points. I believe there are already a couple threads up on TL about this – search and maybe the search functions will function :)

 

I should note that I personally do not use the app to “entrain”. To me, we’re already entrained enough. All my protocols have the expressed intent of training facile, choiceful shifts in BW frequency ie adaptability… (For similar work goog Shakti, but my stuff is differentiated from Persinger’s – with far less ‘profound’ scopes, more selective (ie less random) sequencing than his, and actually more inclusion of the negative / stressful / effortful elements… )

 

…and fwiw - To me, all the subliminal / suggestion / self-hynosis / affirmation stuff is total crap.... built on some really invalid assumptions about the pervasiveness of the whole brains' use of language... etc

 

Just like staying in physical shape, I typically do sessions 3 times a week – whether I need them or not.

(Speaking of staying in shape… imo most ppl’s trading would be enhanced more by using that same time getting and staying in just right physical shape than by going under the headphones)

 

Bottom line = I basically see consensus application of the technology as a temporary but possibly useful crutch. If you are going with the consensus uses of this technology, spots like

Traders using NP - Transparent Community Forum

may help.

In essence the key is knowing what you need and WHEN you need it… then developing and using protocols (/ crutches) that help. Actually doing the work towards high self awareness of your patterns and WHEN they happen is imo far, far more important than ‘running external agents’ into your head…

 

Transparent may still have free trials and money back guarantees so give it a trial. You'll quickly know whether you have the 'energy' to get into the program(s) and leverage them... it's not for everybody...

Thanks for your assistance.

 

I'm basically trying to construct protocols to match the different aspects of my trading strategy so i can trade confidently and with clarity. I was planning to program my subconscious with Alpha and Theta to become accustomed to my system's structure and profit capabilities. Its like i don't believe that my system is profitable even though it shows consistent profit on back-tests as well as live trading, but once i start to get profitable i loose confidence :crap: (maybe its a self-image issue) Once those programs are embedded i was looking for a session that puts you in that "trader zone" as a pre-market warm up or a lunch break session. Do you know of any particular sessions which have put you in a " winning zone" like mental state?

What you just described seems to be a perfect fit for the consensus paradigm and “standard practices” for applying this technology. To rephrase / restate what I was getting at in first post – I can offer favorable reviews of the NP product itself but I don’t embrace the current paradigm nor the standard practices for this technology, so I can only refer you to the libraries on Transparent user (and other BWE) sites for downloadable templates to use as it or to build on. All the best at dialing something in and reaching your goals.

Stroop effect shown nullified by hypnotic linguistic suggestions. Columbia News ::: Hypnosis Gaining Ground in Medicine

 

Some non-conscious parts of the brain can and do use language to communicate with the pre-frontal cortex as was seen by Stetter and Kupper in their meta study of Autogenic Training studies. SpringerLink - Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, Volume 27, Number 1

 

Hypnotic suggestion works in some individuals who willfully want it to work. It does not work in people who willfully resist relaxing and focusing attention.

 

NP is a good product. BWE benefits most who use it even if the benefit can be attributed to placebo effects. (BTW, Placebo effects are strong evidence that non conscious parts of the brain do process verbal linguistic information.) While statistical studies of outcome anecdotal modalities do not meet Popper's falsification criteria, the fact still remains that each person is responsible to their own selves to earn their self esteem and respect. If BWE helps, then good for them.

Thanks for the feedback. My :) reactions…

 

re “Stroop effect shown nullified by hypnotic linguistic suggestions”

??

More accurate might be “Stroop effect shown nullified by ‘presence’ and interaction.”

 

re “Some non-conscious parts of the brain can and do use language”

That “Some” is still extremely miniscule in my view.

 

re “Placebo effects are strong evidence that non conscious parts of the brain do process verbal linguistic information” that’s a stretch… a big stretch…

 

re “willfully want it to work” Willfully wanting it to work is a factor but not major factor… transitions to the issue of ‘highly hypnotizable individuals’ / the ‘highly suggestible’ …which unfortunately transitions to this pivotal issue – the ‘highly suggestible’ are even less likely to retain changes produced from what I called all this ‘verbal crap’ than are the ‘lowly suggestible’. Specific to NP, to me this means, bignore the “subliminal / suggestion / self-hynosis / affirmation” features of the product… even if you were lucky enough to find the right agent voices for yourself, ultimately the returns from the additional ‘crap’ would still be relatively low

 

…here we go again… just because neuroscience is all new and au currant doesn’t make it ‘right’… I personally have some serious questions about basic assumptions of the whole field… and have accepted that I may not live long enough to see the fad fade… :)

    • Date: 8th April 2025.   Markets Rebound Cautiously as US-China Tariff Tensions Deepen     Global markets staged a tentative recovery on Tuesday following a wave of volatility sparked by escalating trade tensions between the United States and China. The Asia-Pacific region showed signs of stability after a chaotic start to the week—though some pockets remained under pressure. Taiwan’s Taiex dropped 4.4%, dragged lower by losses in tech heavyweight TSMC. The world’s largest chipmaker fell another 4% on Tuesday and has now slumped 13.5% since April 2, when US President Donald Trump first unveiled what he called ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs.   However, broader sentiment across the region turned more positive, with several markets rebounding sharply after Monday’s dramatic sell-offs. Japan’s Nikkei 225 surged over 6% in early trading, rebounding from an 18-month low. South Korea’s Kospi rose marginally, and Australia’s ASX 200 gained 1.9%, driven by strength in mining stocks. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng rose 1.6%, though still far from recovering from Monday’s 13.2% crash—its worst day since the 1997 Asian financial crisis. China’s Shanghai Composite added 0.9%.   In Europe, DAX and FTSE 100 are up more than 1% in opening trade. EU Commission President von der Leyen repeated yesterday that the EU had offered reciprocal zero tariffs on manufactured goods previously and continues to stand by that offer. Others are also trying again to talk to Trump to get some sort of agreement that limits the impact.   Much of the rally appeared to be driven by dip-buying, as well as hopes that the intensifying trade war could still be defused through negotiations.   China Strikes Back: ‘We Will Fight to the End’   Tensions reached a boiling point after Trump threatened to impose an additional 50% tariff on all Chinese imports unless Beijing rolled back its retaliatory measures by April 8. ‘If China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long-term trading abuses by tomorrow... the United States will impose additional tariffs on China of 50%,’ Trump declared on social media.   If implemented, the new tariffs would bring total US duties on Chinese goods to a staggering 124%, factoring in the existing 20%, the 34% recently announced, and the proposed 50%.   In response, China’s Ministry of Commerce issued a stern warning, stating: ‘The US threat to escalate tariffs is a mistake on top of a mistake... If the US insists on its own way, China will fight to the end.’ The ministry also called for equal and respectful dialogue, though signs of compromise on either side remain scarce.   Beijing acted quickly to contain a market fallout. State funds intervened to support equities, and the People’s Bank of China set the yuan fixing at its weakest level since September 2023 to boost export competitiveness. Additionally, five-year interest rate swaps in China fell to their lowest levels since 2020, indicating potential for further monetary easing.   Trump Talks Tough on EU Too   Trump’s hardline approach extended beyond China. Speaking at a press conference, he rejected the European Union’s offer to eliminate tariffs on cars and industrial goods, accusing the bloc of ‘being very bad to us.’ He insisted that Europe would need to source its energy from the US, claiming the US could ‘knock off $350 billion in one week.’   The EU, meanwhile, backed away from a proposed 50% retaliatory tariff on American whiskey, opting instead for 25% duties on selected US goods in response to Trump’s steel and aluminium tariffs.     Volatile Wall Street Adds to the Drama   Wall Street experienced wild swings on Monday as investors processed the rapidly evolving trade conflict. The S&P 500 briefly fell 4.7% before rebounding 3.4%, nearly erasing its losses in what could have been its biggest one-day jump in years—if it had held. The Dow Jones Industrial Average sank by as much as 1,700 points early in the day but later climbed nearly 900 points before closing 349 points lower, down 0.9%. The Nasdaq ended up 0.1%.   The brief rally was fueled by a false rumour that Trump was considering a 90-day pause on tariffs—rumours that the White House quickly labelled ‘fake news.’ The market's sharp reaction underscored how desperate investors are for any sign that tensions might ease.   Oil Markets in Focus: Goldman Sachs Revises Forecasts   Crude prices also reflected the uncertainty, with US crude briefly dipping below $60 per barrel for the first time since 2021. As of early Tuesday, Brent crude was trading at $64.72, while WTI hovered around $61.26.   Goldman Sachs, in a note dated April 7, lowered its average price forecasts for Brent and WTI through 2025 and 2026, citing mounting recession risks and the potential for higher-than-expected supply from OPEC+.       Under a base-case scenario where the US avoids a recession and tariffs are reduced significantly before the April 9 implementation date, Goldman sees Brent at $62 per barrel and WTI at $58 by December 2025. These figures fall further to $55 and $51, respectively, by the end of 2026. This outlook also assumes moderate output increases from eight OPEC+ countries, with incremental boosts of 130,000–140,000 barrels per day in June and July.   However, should the US slip into a typical recession and OPEC production aligns with the bank’s baseline assumptions, Brent could retreat to $58 by the end of this year and to $50 by December 2026.   In a more bearish scenario involving a global GDP slowdown and no change to OPEC+ output levels, Brent prices might fall to $54 by year-end and $45 by late 2026. The most extreme projection—based on a simultaneous economic downturn and a full reversal of OPEC+ production cuts—would see Brent plunge to below $40 per barrel by the end of 2026.   Goldman noted that oil prices could outperform forecasts significantly if there was a dramatic shift in tariff policy and a surprise in global demand recovery.   Cautious Optimism, But Warnings Persist   With both Washington and Beijing showing no signs of backing down, markets are likely to remain volatile in the days ahead. Investors now turn their attention to upcoming trade meetings and policy decisions, hoping for clarity in what has become one of the most unpredictable trading environments in recent years.   Always trade with strict risk management.
