Broke men fear the risk. Wealthy men fear the regret of never taking it.

As an American citizen, tonight I demand to know if my president is dying of health conditions, and a senator of my Senate is dead. Enough of the bullshit. The Republican Party is taking our country hostage. Fuck this. I want an answer now.

MAN TO MAN: Never allow yourself to become bitter, no matter how difficult your life becomes. A calm man under chaos is a leader.

Behavioural Change. - Can a trader do it?

Behavioural patterns run deep, they need to be identified and accepted

This requires deep reflection and in many cases external feedback

Then the next challenging part: The Adaption and the Shift:

Behavioural Adaption, Habit Replacement, New Habit/Behavioural/Mindset formation. - Think how difficult it is for people to drop tangible habits which can kill them (Cigarettes/Alcohol/Drugs), even harder with intangible habits that infectious trading.

But yes people do them - hardwork-persistance-time

You see those people, the ones who had long, successful careers. - They weren't born with those gifts that enables that. - They made those adaptions.

Reframe the word “regret” to a “lesson”.

Regret keeps you out of the present, and is irrelevant & creates a negative mindset loop. A lesson you can adapt and learn from and benefit from in the present.

Casual people are a plague.
I don't want to hang around unserious people. Give me the person with dreams so big they make others uncomfortable when they say them out loud. Give me the person who spends their weekends obsessing over their craft. Give me the person who doesn't get jealous when those around them are winning, because they're winning too. Life is too short to play it cool, give half effort, and accept mediocrity.

@Ollie_AllCaps What are you hoping to find in TC that tradingview doesn't do? Curious as your scans always seemed great in TV. One big problem in TC is it's easy to become a layout/scan collector.

A question for senior leaders at Tastytrade:
@tastytrade @tastyliveshow

After seeing how the changes at the end of last week were handled, it makes me question the longterm viability of the tastytrade platform.  

The message I got from how the changes were made was a simple one:  The only thing management really cares about is dollars and margins.  This may not have been the intended message, but frankly it’s want I took away from how things were handled.

I’ve been a loyal customer with a fairly large account >XXXX since 2020.

I’d like to hear from senior management, why I should be confident the platform is here to stay, will be supported, and grown.  The feeling I have at the moment is all that is in question.  If you’re not trying to attract and bring new customers to the platform (part of the message I got from last week), what assurance do we have as users that the platform will continue to grow and improve?

Please have someone in senior leadership provide a thoughtful response.

At this point I am considering returning to TOS.

Regards and Be safe.
Bob

@MarioNawfal and yet the epstein files and the perpetrators are hiddin in the shadows..

@Zortrades_Alpha I'm a fan in that it is easy to talk with others, is easier to post notes etc. However, You will get a lot of false friend requests from fake impersonators.

Stan Weinstein’s buy rules:

[Mark Anderson @multistratmark]

4 Different Environments in the Market:

Growth + Inflation → stocks, commodities win | bonds lose
Growth + Deflation → everything works
Recession + Deflation → bonds, cash win
Stagflation → commodities, gold win | stocks & bonds lose

Same portfolio ≠ all environments
Adapt or get exposed.

[Lance Breitstein 🇺🇸🌎 @TheOneLanceB]

Determining trend and having a ruleset to do so is one of the most important exercises you can do.

The actions and strategies that make you money in an uptrend are exactly the ones that ruin you in a downtrend.

"First rule in life: If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it."

True in your work, income, career, and even your personal life.

Secretly wanting things & doing nothing, leads to regret.

Today:
1. Acknowledge what you want
2. Actually Go After it.
