We can now work in a non-critical, nonjudgmental environment. Because the subconscious mind cannot distinguish long and short, hot or cold, it will accept the input as factual. The critical faculty is indeed suspended and bypassed. Routine judgment is stopped and selective thoughts and picture can be installed without question. The more often this can be done, the better is the chance of success.
Repetition can be crucial.
Now we can inform the subconscious mind that the old fears are no longer valid. We replace those beliefs with the fact that we now have a valid back-tested trading program that is profitable. With sufficient practice and repetition the subconscious becomes convinced that this is the new reality. If you truly back-tested and worked with your trading plan, your conscious mind is already aware of its validity. So, having informed your subconscious that you are now the owner of a valid trading plan that is to your benefit, you may now have both your conscious and subconscious believing the same facts.
