Due to the secret nature of the work of the KGB, his work with respect to the leading Soviet chess players is described little and, most importantly, one-sidedly, mainly, chess players, who had displeasure in their professional life faced with the "care" of the KGB.

    Об интуиции в среде трейдеров говорят чаще всего с иронией или даже с некоторым сарказмом. Тем не менее роль интуиции велика, а некоторым великим трейдерам действительно были свойственны внезапные озарения. В их числе и Джесси Ливермор, который по праву может считаться наиболее выдающимся трейдером ХХ века. Автор книги считает, что интуитивный трейдинг тоже может быть системной торговлей. Интуитивный метод торговли состоит в умении подмечать закономерности и в создании собственной системы понимания поведения рынка. Методы интуитивного трейдинга позволяют определять наиболее вероятные сценарии поведения рынка, находить оптимальные точки входа и выхода, получать обширную и разнообразную информацию о процессах, происходящих на рынке. Озарение, а с ним чаще всего ассоциируют слово "интуиция", не возникает просто так из ничего. Оно отражает накопленный опыт, притом не просто опыт, а опыт правильно упорядоченный. В осознанном структурировании опыта состоит главная идея интуитивного трейдинга. Автор описывает торговую систему интуитивного трейдера, многие важные закономерности в поведении рынка, а также рассматривает вопросы риск-менеджмента и психологии торговли. Оригинальный метод биржевой торговли, разработанный автором, позволяет эффективно торговать и зарабатывать деньги на финансовых рынках. Книга предназначена для инвесторов, желающих совершенствовать свой личный арсенал торговых приемов, а также для читателей, интересующихся вопросами биржевой торговли. Книга посвящена биржевой торговле, или, точнее сказать, биржевой игре. На обложке книги изображены шахматные фигуры на шахматной доске. Но книга не только по форме, но и по содержанию имеет отношение к шахматам. На страницах 23-27 книги речь идет о том, что интуитивный трейдинг подобен шахматам. Вот пара отрывков из этой главы: Интуитивный трейдинг проще всего описать с помощью аналогии с шахматами. Опытный шахматист, прежде чем сделать ход, анализирует позицию. Его анализ позиции складывается из двух частей: оценки позиции и конкретного расчета ходов. Эти два процесса переплетены между собой. Гроссмейстер оценивает возникшую на доске позицию и определяет возможные ходы. Далее он мысленно делает эти ходы и ответные ходы противника и вновь через какое-то время оценивает позицию. И делает он это на основании мысленных образов – ментальных конструкций. Образ формируется с помощью всех пяти органов чувств, и его структура может быть практически любой. «Для меня проходная пешка – как бы живое разумное существо, со своими невысказанными желаниями, надеждами и сомнениями, которые нам приходится в ней угадывать», – писал Арон Нимцович («Моя система»). Формирование образа включает и сознательные и бессознательные процессы. В шахматах оценка позиции состоит из следующих факторов: пешечное расположение, центр, развитие сил, защищенность короля, открытые линии, активность и взаимодействие фигур и т. д. Периодически шахматист мысленно подводит промежуточные итоги, давая позиции краткую характеристику: чуть лучше, чуть хуже, равно, лучше, хуже, большой перевес, тяжелая позиция, выиграно или проиграно. На рынке аналогом оценки позиции является изучение базовых условий рынка. Понятие базовых условий рынка впервые было раскрыто в книге Джесси Ливермора «Торговля акциями. Классическая формула тайминга, управления капиталом и эмоциями». Не следует путать базовые условия с фундаментальным анализом рынка. Это совсем не одно и то же. Прежде всего базовые условия рынка учитывают эмоции участников рынка, но есть и много других отличий. Про доминирующий фактор: Далее я отметил бы еще один очень важный момент. В шахматной игре очень часто можно выделить один самый существенный фактор: доминирующий фактор позиции. Это может быть, например, слабость пешки в ситуации, где идет позиционная игра, либо это может быть неудачное расположение какой-либо фигуры, создающее предпосылки для проведения выигрывающей комбинации. То есть дальнейшая игра складывается вокруг этого доминирующего фактора. На рынке тоже можно выделить доминирующий фактор, притом он будет специфическим для каждого тайм-фрейма. Для скальпера доминирующим фактором почти всегда является ликвидность. Глядя в стакан, он выясняет, где располагаются заявки, каков их размер, его интересуют потенциальные разрывы ликвидности, которые могут возникнуть при движении рынка в том или ином направлении. Вообще говоря, любого скальпера можно считать стопроцентным интуитивным трейдером. Доминирующий фактор является темой задач и этюдов в шахматной композиции. Причем очень часто цель достигается через парадокс – на основе неожиданного исключения из правила. В этом состоят красота и ценность конкретной шахматной задачи или этюда. На рынке также наибольший результат можно получить тогда, когда рынок поведет себя вопреки общепринятому мнению. На рынке исключения из правил столь часты и ведут к столь серьезным последствиям, что можно считать, что нарушение правил само стало правилом. Я назвал это явление принципом отрицания. Рынок редко следует простой, очевидной для всех логике. Фактически чем логичнее является некое событие, тем вероятнее, что рынок ответит на него неестественным образом. На этом принципе построены самые действенные ценовые модели. Особенно ярко это правило проявляется при торговле на новостях. Другой пример: утренние развороты после сильных гэпов, когда цена сразу же начинает двигаться в противоположном направлении. Рынок всегда стремится заманить нас в ловушку.
