When Learning ANYTHING, there are four stages of learning and mastery:
1) Unconscious Incompetence – at this stage, you don’t know that there is something there to learn; “You don’t know that you don’t know”. E.g. you did not know that the market has a structure, that it is not random. You did not know that you did not know. So when you know what happens?
2) Conscious Incompetence – at this stage now you know that you don’t know. You are now aware that there is something that you don’t know and that you ought to know it. So you start searching.
3) Conscious Competence – After realizing that there is something to learn that is not yet understood, study and training rapidly bring one up to the point of getting it. Information is now suddenly coming in, being understood, getting integrated with all of your other understandings and then comes the turning point: You’ve read the material a few times and aha! You KNOW that YOU KNOW IT! It may not be flawless just yet, but I’ve traded the Correct Setup 3 times in row now. I’m not yet consistently profitable, but I KNOW I can Do It. You realise that AIMS provides a great trading opportunity and that it has the potential to change your life.
