Bootcamp: Swing Trading
Date: August 3rd to August 6th, 2010
TIme: 4pm - 9pm each day

Mastery Experience is the biggest source for enhancing self efficacy beliefs build up. Mastery experience is gained when you immerse yourself in a task or subject for sufficient period of time and with sufficient amount of intensity. The process results in you mastering the task or the subject. That enhances SEB.

The idea behind bootcamp is to enhance SEB. Learning is complete only if it results in learners self efficacy beliefs enhancement. If that happens there is a permanent change in behavior. A non participant cannot gain SEB by being just observer or reading the bootcamp records. It can not simulate the mastery experience.

That is the fundamental learning principle behind bootcamp kind of instruction methodologies. Participants are put through series of task which stretch their current knowledge or capabilities. In a army kind of setting the fear of punishment ensures participation and pushes the subjects to extreme limits of their capabilities which results in an intense mastery experience. Ask anyone who has been through the Marines bootcamp or any other special forces bootcamp. The experience is physical as well as emotional. It stays with the subjects forever in the process enhancing their SEB.

That is the principle behind the bootcamp exercise. That is the reason it will not be open to non participants and I will not make the logs of it available to non participants.

The other reason is once the logs are public , I can not do the same bootcamp again. Because next series of people already know the answers. That is why the second or third EP bootcamp did not work because participants could find answers easily without much effort.

Your process of SEB enhancement  is at its peak when you are a kid. Just observe small kids and you will see how they master task after task. This continuous learning process continuously enhances their SEB.

Some time back I was at my daughter's Taekwondo class sitting outside the glass enclosure watching the class along with other parents and small kids.

Amongst the kid sitting outside was a 2 to 3 year old kid. In the waiting area there is a large steel flip top dustbin. The kind that you press the peddle by leg and the lid opens. Someone threw something in the dustbin, the small kid was intently watching the process. After that he tried opening the lid. He could not do it.

I was sitting and closely watching the kid. For next one hour he made several attempts at opening the lid. He could not get it to open it, his mom kept telling him not to play with dustbin, but again and again he kept coming back.

Just to give him a hint I again opened the dustbin and threw some garbage in. He figured out that the pedal is the key to opening it. He tried moving the pedal by hand, it did not work. He tried standing on it but his weight was not sufficient. Finally after several attempts he jumped on it and it opened. He figured out how to do it. He smiled broadly. In next few minutes he perfected opening it by jumping on the pedal.

What happened in the process is that he mastered a task and gained confidence. Like this in a day a kid gains several mastery experience by trying new things. As a result his or her SEB continuously gets enhanced. If the kid is in right educational setup, this cycle continues.

As adult this process becomes a bit complicated. Our fear of losing our face stops us from attempting many tasks. Besides that once we acquire certain amount of security there is no need for continuous learning. So we settle in a inertia state. And keep orbiting in the same orbit.

If you want to kick your life in to next orbit you need to get out of that inertia and enhance your SEB. Which often as adult is not an easy task.

Besides that as adult we discover a wonderful thing that kills SEB.

Bootcamp requirements

Bootcamps based learning methods work only if there is active participation. So unless you have time and are willing to participate actively you should not sign up for these.

The best example of active participation was the Episodic Pivots Bootcamp. As a result of that active participation people learned something.

Consider that with the current 401k bootcamp, where most are spectators. As a result I have not used even 20% of the material I had prepared for that bootcamp.

Unless there is active participation in the first Swing Trading Bootcamp I will not conduct rest of the bootcamps.
