Favours are a debt and you should be excited when people extract a favour from you as you in turn create a positive credit balance a.k.a have people in your debt.

Having a great idea is not important. What's important is the person who has it. What becomes of an idea is a factor of the person wielding the idea.

The idea itself is useless!
It's a dime a dozen.
It's a fugayzy, it's a fugazy, it's a wazzy, it's a woozy.
It's fairy dust!!

Success = delusional belief in your pursuit and in the bend-ability of the universe to your delusions. I have noticed that the most successful people dream up the most ridiculously ambitious version of reality and work at it unflinchingly until it becomes our collective reality!

@G_VestaUtong Not worth the trouble... Too little leverage

Should I do a strategy reveal of one of my A+ setups?

I’ve given 62 public signals and my live call outs totalling +55% gain

One of the most common trade types was this model

My S2R - Inducement model

[John Essien @Jphils40]

@WaqarAsim10 Where do you drop the signal because I was hunting today but didn't see it come through? 😕

[John Essien @Jphils40]

@WaqarAsim10 Hi Waqar,
I've been studying your strategy. Digging up as many of your signal tweets as Twitter will allow. One thing that is bumming me out is how you mark your POI or Supply/Demand area going into your key time window. Any advice?

PS: I appreciate the good work!! Stay blessed!

[John Essien @Jphils40]

@Bangstix Hahahaha!!!🤣

It just occured to me that I've been wearing a cast for the latter half of this year! Broke 2 bones this year!

Gave me a fresh appreciation and respect for people living with disabilities. Also, it got me in touch with the resilience and resourcefulness of the human spirit!

@don_pet Because Brits think it's rude does not mean it is. Cultural context is important and it is a good thing that you should adjust when you're in a new culture. But because a culture finds something abhorrent doesn't mean your culture, that does not have qualms with it, is faulty.

[John Essien @Jphils40]

So I've been thinking, maybe I should do a stats series on here. If there are people who are afraid of statistics and would love an unscary introduction, say Aye! and we can kick it off. I think 5 people will be a big enough crowd.
It could be fun. It could be....

I used to be one of those people who shied away from Maths. But data science forces you to face your demons 😂. The interesting thing is, if/when you do face them, you find they're not that scary. In fact, you might find they're actually cute fluffy puppies whose company you like

Curiousity Friday: What are the biggest fears/obstacles holding you back from becoming a data scientist?

Help repost if you're in the data community. I'd really like to see the prevailing opinions on this.

[John Essien @Jphils40]

@G_VestaUtong So happy for you été.

I really love the final part of Danny Ma's week-3 which is more of a freestyle. Forcing me to ask the questions myself and find the answers through SQL to my own questions... Which I hope are sensible 😂

[John Essien @Jphils40]

@segun_velaryon Tbf, it's quite good with SQL. Honestly the task was difficult and given how long and windy my code is, I can understand why it might be having problems. Mind me asking what you python learning resource is? And also where are you getting your task/project challenges?

[John Essien @Jphils40]

1. Certainly my most complicated SQL query yet.
I'm sure this can be written in a more efficient way. But this is a noobs battle with the almighty brain twister of Danny Ma's restaurant wey nobody send am build.

[John Essien @Jphils40]

@segun_velaryon I would recommend Danny Ma's 8 week challenge. It's the kind of frustration you come to love.

[John Essien @Jphils40]

@segun_velaryon ChatGPT has been giving me error filled optimizations. I'm on the fifth iteration now and I'm still getting errors. The problem though is that his code is now as plenty as mine, so I'm not sure it will shrink the code but I'll keep asking it to correct the errors, see what i get
