That is a quite legitimate use of hypnosis (or NLP, for that matter).
However, it is "custom" to each individual; it depends on your own
particular strategy for *having* intuition or hunches.

I once worked for a Venture Capitalist as a consultant, and he
started describing the unique feeling he got in his stomach when he
evaluated deals that were "good" versus the feeling he got that was
different when the deal was "bad."  We then went back in his history
(actually, we did this sitting in the lobby of a hotel outside
La Guardia airport!) and he recalled the feelings he had before he
invested in deals that produced a profit versus the feels he had
before he invested in deals that did *not* produce a profit.  He
now relies on those two feelings to make investements and has claimed
(to me) that his success rate in long-term investments has improved.

You might also wish to investigate a different, but also fruitful
process used by Russell Targ and associates at SRI to make (practice)
investments in commodities markets using his methods of "remote view-
ing."  (It's not hypnosis, but I found it interesting anyway.)
