THE BODY MIND CONNECTION:
NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS FOR TRADERS

Trading successfully requires pattern recognition, quick decision-making and decisive responses. Many traders report the opposite: they miss trades that are right in front of them. Why?

I don't think they are 'asleep at the wheel,' but they may be in a mild trance-like state, which feels alert and busy, but lacks true "Executive Function."

"Executive Function" is the ability to act like a CEO, to plan and follow-through, to learn from mistakes and successfully adapt to changing conditions, to allocate funds appropriately and get a good return on invested capital. Executive Function depends on the pre-frontal cortex, an area of the brain that is underactive in struggling traders.

FEED YOUR BRAIN
Poor Executive Function is a symptom of Adult ADD and is associated with low metabolism and other imbalances in the pre-frontal cortex.  The neurons in that area of the brain depend on certain specific
phosphorous-rich compounds to grow and repair themselves. The best food for the brain comes from sea creatures, which makes sense considering all life began there. Additionally, some special plants have unique fats in their seed oil that are particularly well suited for incorporation in the brain.  

Below are two products I highly recommend designed to enhance mental functioning for traders and restore Executive Function.


TRADE BETTER
TM  Softgels

Trade Better softgels Trade BetterTM softgels are made with a special Ayurvedic oil that has been carefully studied for both safety and efficacy. More than 70 clinical trials in peer-reviewed scientific journals in India have indicated improvements in memory, IQ and general cognitive functioning, particularly for individuals with the symptoms of ADD.  

Ancedotally, traders who have used the compound report an increased organizational ability that extends far beyond their trading. They become more systematic and meticulous, which allows them to trade their plan more consistently. Almost universally, traders with messy trading desks and cluttered trading rooms notice an effortless transformation to a more orderly state within the first two months of use.

Clients have also reported mood elevating and calming effects without any edge.

Each bottle contains 60 softgels. Clients report the best results with a dosage of 3-4 of the very small (95 mg) softgels per day, so I recommend ordering three bottles at a time for an initial a one-month supply.

One bottle of Trade Better (60 ct.) is $25.00
Order three bottles of Trade Better (60 ct) for $65.00 and save $10!

NEUROCONNECTTM Capsules (30 ct.)

Neuroconnect capsules NeuroConnectTM capsules are the ultimate in cognitive enhancement for traders. NeuroConnectTM is a synergistic combination of Krill Oil (500 mg), Phosphatidyl Serine (125 mg) and also includes a generous amount of the special Ayurvedic oil in Trade Better softgels (equivalent to almost three softgels).

ABOUT KRILL OIL
Krill is a small shrimp-like creature found in the Arctic and Antarctic oceans that makes up a large part of the diet of some whales. Its oil is different than other marine Omega-3 oils, however, because its fatty acids are attached to phospholipids, which act as a superior delivery system, enhancing bioavailability. Scientists have discovered that these phospholipids closely resemble the chemical profile of neurons in the human brain.

Krill oil has many known health benefits, but its value to traders lies in cognitive enhancement. In one clinical trial using a standard measure of Executive Function, a key ability for trading successfully, subjects increased concentration and working memory 60% over the course of a 6-month trial. Planning skills improved an astounding 50% and the abilty to manage money improved 32%.

Additionally, Krill oil comes with its own protective anti-oxidant, astaxanthin, which promotes its stability and longevity. One study showed Krill oil is 48 times more effective as an antioxidant than ordinary fish oil.  

The most popular Krill oil brand, NKO, is produced by Neptune Technologies using a patented solvent-based process. The Antarctic Krill oil in NeuroConnectTM is extracted entirely without solvents.  This specially prepared oil is not available from any discount vitamin source. It is the only Krill oil I will personally consume.

ABOUT PHOSPHATIDYL SERINE (PS)
Phosphatidyl Serine, commonly abbreviated 'PS,' been studied extensively in double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trials for its anti-aging, cognitive and mood enhancement effects. Research shows that it increases mental acuity and improves memory, attention and learning. It also protects against the stress response and reduces anxiety. All of these benefits are extremely important to traders.

NeuroConnectTM also includes the equivalent of nearly three Trade Better pills (see above).

ORDER NOW!
Recommended dosage is two capsules per day for the first month and one capsule per day thereafter for 6 months. One bottle of Neuroconnect costs $59 for 30 capsules. Order 3 bottles for $150 and save $27!

IMPROVE YOUR DIET

Supplements are not for everyone, but we all have to eat. There are dietary changes you can make that will enhance your trading. If you are an anxious trader, consider adding turkey sausage to your morning breakfast. Turkey has a natural form of tryptophan that increases the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is associated with calmness and well being.

dietary supplements for tradersIf you are overweight, have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or other signs of stress-related disease, you may want to consider some additional dietary changes, because trading is stressful for most people. One source for alternative dietary information is Michael Anderson's website, ravediet.com. I'm not sure why he calls it 'rave' except that the guy is a fanatic.

I happen to think he is a well-informed fanatic on a mission to change the way America eats, and you will get an alternative view on diet from him that may be useful to you. I personally recommend the DVD called 'EATING,' which he sells for the ridiculously low price of $9.95.
