Have you ever thought about it? If somebody asks, “Who are you?” what do you answer? You say your name. The name is not yours, because you came into the world without a name. You came nameless; it is not your property, it has been given to you. And any name, A-B-C-D, would have been useful. It is arbitrary. It is not essential in any way. If you are called “Susan” good; if you are called “Harry” good, it makes no difference. Any name would have been as applicable to you as any other. It is just a label. A name is needed to call you by, but it has nothing to do with your being. Or you say, “I am a doctor” or you say, “I am an engineer”—or a businessman, or a painter, or this and that—but nothing says anything about you. When you say, “I am a doctor,” you say something about your profession, not about you. You say how you earn your living. You don’t say anything about life, you say something about your living. You may be earning your living as an engineer, or as a doctor, or as a businessman—it is irrelevant. It does not say anything about you. Or you say your father’s name, your mother’s name, you give your family tree—that too is irrelevant because that doesn’t define you. Your being born in a particular family is accidental; you could as well have been born in another family and you would not even have noticed the difference. These are just utilitarian tricks—and man becomes a “self.” This self is a pseudoself, a created, manufactured self, homemade. And your own real self remains deep down hidden in mist and mystery.

To summarize my trading strategy for the ABCD Pattern: When I find a Stock in Play, either from my Gappers watchlist or from one of my scanners, or when I’m advised by someone in our chatroom that a stock is surging up from point A and reaching a significant new high for the day (point B), I wait to see if the price makes a support higher than point A. I call this point C. I do not jump into the trade right away. I watch the stock during its consolidation period. I choose my share size and stop loss and profit target exit strategy. When I see that the price is holding support at point C, I enter the trade close to the price of point C in anticipation of moving forward to point D or higher. Point C can also be identified from a 1-minute chart. It is important to look at both time frames in order to gain a better insight. My stop is the loss of point C. If the price goes lower than point C, I sell and accept the loss. Therefore, it is important to buy the stock close to point C to minimize the loss. Some traders wait and buy only at point D to ensure that the ABCD Pattern is really working. In my opinion, that approach basically reduces your reward while at the same time increases your risk. If the price moves higher, I sell half of my position at point D, and bring my stop higher to my entry point (break-even). I sell the remaining position as soon as my target hits or I sense that the price is losing steam or that the sellers are acquiring control of the price action. When the price makes a new low on my 5-minute chart, it is a good indicator that the buyers are almost exhausted.

As the conference continued it occurred to me finally that it wasn't really about Indian history as it was written, but really about rewriting it by taking a fresh look at race, ethnicity, gender, and a mix of sociocultural questions...
I just couldn't believe how far along the desi scene was, not just socially but intellectually, how many people were out there thinking about it. This whole event so far rocked my world, muddled me still more, and delivered a series of tiny epiphanies, all at the same time. To be honest, I was quite intimidated by the dialogue going on, as well as by the passion and conviction of these people on so many subjects which I, frankly, had never really even thought about.
...A history of a people in transit -- what could that be card catalogued under? And the history of the ABCD. Everyone seemed to know about this ABCD thing -- that didn't seem very confused to me! And it was a relatively new phenomenon; it had never occurred to me that things going on now could have a history already. The moments that made up my life in the present tense seemed so fleetingly urgent and self-contained to me: I'd always felt my life had very little to do with my parents' and especially their parents' histories...and that it would have very little effect on anything to come.
But the way these people were talking -- about desis in Hollywood; South Asian Studies departments; the relatively new Asian Indian slot on the census -- was hummingly sculpting the air, as if they were making history as they spoke. Making it, messily but surely, even simply by speaking. I was feeling it, too -- a sense of history in the making. But where did I fit in to any of it?
And how come no one had told me?

contrast, the right hemisphere doesn’t march in the single-file formation of A-B-C-D-E. Its special talent is the ability to interpret things simultaneously. This side of our brains is “specialized in seeing many things at once: in seeing all the parts of a geometric shape and grasping its form, or in seeing all the elements of a situation and understanding what they mean.”9 This makes the right hemisphere particularly useful in interpreting faces. And it confers on human beings a comparative advantage over computers.

Think on Paper The power of this technique lies in its simplicity. Here’s how it works: You start with a list of everything you have to do for the coming day. Think on paper. You then place an A, B, C, D, or E next to each item on your list before you begin the first task. An “A” item is defined as something that is very important, something that you must do. This is a task that will have serious positive or negative consequences if you do it or fail to do it, like visiting a key customer or finishing a report that your boss needs for an upcoming board meeting. These items are the frogs of your life. If you have more than one A task, you prioritize these tasks by writing “A-1,” “A-2,” “A-3,” and so on in front of each item. Your A-1 task is your biggest, ugliest frog of all. ”Shoulds” versus “Musts” A “B” item is defined as a task that you should do. But it has only mild consequences. These are the tadpoles of your work life. This means that someone may be unhappy or inconvenienced if you don’t do one of these tasks, but it is nowhere as important as an A task. Returning an unimportant telephone message or reviewing your e-mail would be a B task. The rule is that you should never do a B task when an A task is left undone. You should never be distracted by a tadpole when a big frog is sitting there waiting to be eaten. A “C” task is defined as something that would be nice to do but for which there are no consequences at all, whether you do it or not. C tasks include phoning a friend, having coffee or lunch with a coworker, and completing some personal business during work hours. These sorts of activities have no effect at all on your work life. A “D” task is defined as something you can delegate to someone else. The rule is that you should delegate everything that someone else can do so you can free up more time for the A tasks that only you can do. An “E” task is defined as something that you can eliminate altogether, and it won’t make any real difference. This may be a task that was important at one time but is no longer relevant to you or anyone else. Often it is something you continue to do out of habit or because you enjoy it. But every minute that you spend on an E task is time taken away from an A task or activity that can make a real difference in your life. After you have applied the ABCDE Method to your list, you will be completely organized and ready to get more important things done faster.

Powerful elements in the Japanese armed forces were preoccupied with a perceived conspiracy against Japan, the ABCD coalition: Americans in the Philippines, the British in Malaya, the Chinese to their south and west, and the Dutch in the East Indies, plus the French in Indochina and the Russians to the north. All these colonies and countries formed a perimeter around Japan, and the government used this threat of encirclement to mobilize support in the populace. Their perception of being forced into a weaker position by the Five Power Treaty and being surrounded created anxiety within some elements of the Japanese naval establishment and the government generally.

Set the table: Decide exactly what you want. Clarity is essential. Write out your goals and objectives before you begin. Plan every day in advance: Think on paper. Every minute you spend in planning can save you five or ten minutes in execution. Apply the 80/20 Rule to everything: Twenty percent of your activities will account for 80 percent of your results. Always concentrate your efforts on that top 20 percent. Consider the consequences: Your most important tasks and priorities are those that can have the most serious consequences, positive or negative, on your life or work. Focus on these above all else. Practice creative procrastination: Since you can't do everything, you must learn to deliberately put off those tasks that are of low value so that you have enough time to do the few things that really count. Use the ABCDE Method continually: Before you begin work on a list of tasks, take a few moments to organize them by value and priority so you can be sure of working on your most important activities. Focus on key result areas: Identify and determine those results that you absolutely, positively have to get to do your job well, and work on them all day long. The Law of Three: Identify the three things you do in your work that account for 90 percent of your contribution, and focus on getting them done before anything else. You will then have more time for your family and personal life. Prepare thoroughly before you begin: Have everything you need at hand before you start. Assemble all the papers, information, tools, work materials, and numbers you might require so that you can get started and keep going. Take it one oil barrel at a time: You can accomplish the biggest and most complicated job if you just complete it one step at a time. Upgrade your key skills: The more knowledgeable and skilled you become at your key tasks, the faster you start them and the sooner you get them done. Leverage your special talents: Determine exactly what it is that you are very good at doing, or could be very good at, and throw your whole heart into doing those specific things very, very well. Identify your key constraints: Determine the bottlenecks or choke points, internal or external, that set the speed at which you achieve your most important goals, and focus on alleviating them. Put the pressure on yourself: Imagine that you have to leave town for a month, and work as if you had to get all your major tasks completed before you left. Maximize your personal power: Identify your periods of highest mental and physical energy each day, and structure your most important and demanding tasks around these times. Get lots of rest so you can perform at your best. Motivate yourself into action: Be your own cheerleader. Look for the good in every situation. Focus on the solution rather than the problem. Always be optimistic and constructive. Get out of the technological time sinks: Use technology to improve the quality of your communications, but do not allow yourself to become a slave to it. Learn to occasionally turn things off and leave them off. Slice and dice the task: Break large, complex tasks down into bite-sized pieces, and then do just one small part of the task to get started. Create large chunks of time: Organize your days around large blocks of time where you can concentrate for extended periods on your most important tasks. Develop a sense of urgency: Make a habit of moving fast on your key tasks. Become known as a person who does things quickly and well. Single handle every task: Set clear priorities, start immediately on your most important task, and then work without stopping until the job is 100 percent complete. This is the real key to high performance and maximum personal productivity.

ESTRATEGIA 1: EL PATRÓN ABCD (ABCD PATTERN) El patrón ABCD es uno de los patrones más básicos y fáciles de operar y es una opción excelente para los traders principiantes e intermedios. A pesar de ser simple y haber sido empleado por mucho tiempo, continúa siendo eficiente porque muchos traders siguen utilizándolo en sus operaciones. Debes hacer lo que el resto de los traders hacen porque las tendencias son tus mejores amigas. Una tendencia puede resultar ser tu única aliada en el mercado.

Los patrones ABCD empiezan con un fuerte movimiento alcista. Los compradores están adquiriendo agresivamente una acción en el punto A y logrando nuevos máximos del día constantemente (punto B). Tú deseas entrar a la operación, pero no debes mientras el precio está subiendo, porque en el punto B está demasiado extendido y ha llegado ya a un precio muy alto. Así mismo, no puedes determinar dónde debe estar tu nivel de pérdida. Nunca debes entrar a una operación sin saber cuál es tu nivel de pérdida. En el punto B, los traders que compraron la emisora antes empiezan a venderla para obtener una ganancia y su precio baja. Todavía no debes entrar en esta operación porque aún no sabes dónde estará el fondo de este retroceso. Sin embargo, si ves que el precio no baja de cierto nivel, como ilustra el punto C, significa que el precio ha encontrado un soporte potencial. Por lo tanto, ahora sí puedes planificar tu operación y determinar tu nivel de pérdida y tu punto de ganancia. La captura de pantalla identificada como Ilustración 7.1 muestra a Ocean Power Technologies Inc. (ticker: OPTT) el 22 de julio de 2016, tras anunciar una oferta pública de acciones y warrants (los warrants son una herramienta utilizada para comprar títulos en el futuro a un precio determinado) esperando atraer un ingreso bruto cercano a los $4 millones de dólares. (He allí un catalizador fundamental. ¿Recuerdas el Capítulo 2?) El precio subió de $7.70 dólares (A) a $9.40 (B) por ahí de las 9:40 a.m. Yo, junto con muchos otros traders que se perdieron el primer empujón alcista, esperamos a que se llegara al punto B y a recibir una confirmación indicando que la acción no fuera a bajar más allá de cierto precio (punto C). Cuando advertí que el punto C se mantenía como soporte y que los compradores no dejaban que el precio bajara más allá de $8.10 dólares (C), compré 1,000 acciones de OPTT a un precio cercano a C, colocando mi nivel de pérdida por debajo del punto C. Sabía que cuando el precio subiera a un nivel cercano a B, los compradores aprovecharían esta oportunidad de manera masiva. Como mencioné antes, el patrón ABCD es una estrategia clásica y muchos traders independientes la buscan. Al acercarse al punto D, el volumen repentinamente aumentó, lo cual quería decir que muchos otros traders se estaban sumando a la operación. Mi objetivo de ganancia era el momento en que la emisora llegara a un nuevo mínimo en la gráfica de 5 minutos, lo cual señalaría debilidad. Como puedes ver en la Ilustración 7.1, OPTT gozó de una buena racha alcista hasta llegar cerca de los $12 dólares y luego mostró debilidad llegando a un nuevo mínimo en la gráfica de 5 minutos, cercano a los $11.60 dólares. Ahí fue cuando vendí toda mi posición.

Cuando observo en mi escáner, o algún miembro de nuestra sala de chat me advierte, que una emisora está en tendencia alcista en un punto A y está alcanzando un nuevo máximo diario significativo (punto B), espero a ver si el precio logra un soporte por encima del punto A. A este le llamo punto C. No entro a la operación de inmediato. Observo a la acción durante su periodo de consolidación (explicaré este término en la siguiente estrategia). Escojo mi tamaño de posición y mis niveles de pérdida y salida. Cuando veo que el precio mantiene el soporte en el nivel C entro a la operación en un punto cercano a C, anticipando que progrese al punto D o que llegue más allá. Mi nivel de pérdida es la pérdida del punto C. Si el precio baja más allá del punto C, vendo y acepto la pérdida. Por lo tanto, es importante comprar la acción en un punto cercano al punto C para minimizar la pérdida. Algunos traders esperan y compran solamente en el punto D para asegurarse que el patrón ABCD realmente funcione. En mi opinión, ese enfoque básicamente reduce tu recompensa y, al mismo tiempo, incrementa tu riesgo. Si el precio se incrementa, vendo la mitad de mi posición en el punto D y paso mi nivel de pérdida a mi punto de entrada (punto de equilibrio). Vendo el resto de mi posición tan pronto llego a mi objetivo o cuando presiento que el precio está perdiendo fuerza o que los vendedores están tomando el control de la acción del precio. Cuando el precio llega a un nuevo mínimo en mi gráfica de 5 minutos, es un buen indicador de que los compradores se están cansando.

The ABCDE Method is a powerful priority setting technique that you can use every single day. Here’s how it works:
You start with a list of everything you have to do for the coming day. Think on paper.
An "A" item is defined as something that is very important. This is something that you must do.
A "B" item is defined as a task that you should do. But it only has mild consequences.
A "C" task is defined as something that would be nice to do, but for which there are no consequences at all, whether you do it or not.
A "D" task is defined as something you can delegate to someone else.
An "E" task is defined as something that you can eliminate altogether and it won't make any real difference.

The ABCD Model Rational emotive therapy is all about the ABCDs. This simple acronym describes an effective, easy-to-remember framework for recognizing and changing irrational ideas. Here are the basics: A is for activating. These are the red-flag events that trigger your anger. They could be almost anything, such as someone spills a drink or your spouse forgets to pay a bill. B is for belief. Here, belief is a catchall term for how you think about or appraise the activating event. C is for consequence. This refers to emotional consequences in particular. These are the feelings you experience as a result of how you interpreted the event. D is for dispute. This is when you examine your beliefs and expectations (B) regarding the activating event (A). Are they unrealistic or irrational? Is there a more constructive and emotionally agreeable way of looking at things?
