@iamenaam I've liked that you've reduced your bets significantly. Finding value is one thing but just because it's valuable doesn't mean it's a great bet, probably only a good one.
If you reduced your bets by 1/3rd I think, this month will be good for you.

They used to be a reliable alternative, but they seem to have adapted to the SoF/SoW bullshit.
Can anyone recommend a more trustworthy broker?
High cortisol nuked my libido, made fat loss impossible, gave me a puffy face, and had me looking 50 at 36.
Here's how I brought it down with these 8 steps:
1. I stopped fasting
Cortisol = thinning hair.
If cortisol stays high, the shedding won't stop — no matter what you put on your scalp.
These are the best ways to bring it down:
1. No food 3 hours before bed.
The fastest way to detect manipulation is to watch for people who push urgency without giving you time to think, so build a rule where you never agree to important decisions in the same moment they are presented, because time pressure is often used to bypass your judgment.
If you find a very feminine woman (high voice, high estrogen, loves babies, high agreeableness),
who is somehow low on neuroticism,
MARRY HER
You will never find better than that.
A billionaire trader spent 40 years trying to delete this documentary that shows him making $100 million in a single afternoon.
Bookmark & watch today, no matter what.
A billionaire trader has spent 40 years trying to delete a one-hour documentary. It shows him making $100 million in a single afternoon. He predicted the crash that made it possible three months in advance. He has never explained why he wants the film gone. His name is Paul Tudor Jones. The film is on YouTube.
The documentary is called "Trader." PBS filmed it in 1987, three months before Black Monday. Jones was 32 years old, working from a small New York office, wearing shorts and a t-shirt, yelling at his phones, throwing paper across the room, and sleeping under his desk. The film captures him and his research partner Peter Borish overlaying a chart of the 1929 market on 1987, month by month. The two charts tracked within one percent. Borish said this is exactly what happened in 1929. Jones said if the analog holds, October is when it breaks.
On October 19, 1987, the Dow fell 22.6 percent in a single day. It remains the largest one-day percentage loss in stock market history. That afternoon, Tudor Jones covered his shorts and made roughly $100 million. He was 33 years old. He was one of the very few traders on the street who came out ahead.
He tried to bury the tape because it made him look reckless in a professional world that punished swagger. Twenty years of legal effort did not delete it. Someone kept a copy. It is on YouTube. It has fewer views than most makeup tutorials.
The film is not really about a crash. It is about a specific philosophy of trading. Jones is shown building conviction slowly, sizing carefully, then striking hard when the setup arrives. He is never once shown making a random bet. He is shown doing the same thing five times a day, every day, for three months.
His signature line, repeated across a 45-year career:
"The most important rule of trading is to play great defense, not great offense."
He does not try to be right. He tries not to lose. He sets stops tight, cuts positions fast, and never averages down on a loser. Every trade in the film follows this template.
Tudor Investment Corp, the fund he founded in 1980, has compounded at roughly 19 percent a year for 45 years. He is 71 years old and still trading. His method has not changed since the film.
The lesson: greatness in markets is a refusal, not a talent. Refusal to be reckless. Refusal to be certain. Refusal to average down. Refusal to trust yourself in a drawdown. Tudor Jones has refused those refusals for 45 years.
The tape is free. The philosophy is repeated in every trade. Most traders will never watch it.
🚨 Thomas Tuchel contract included clause to discuss parting if England fell at WC group, R32 or R16 (bar Mexico). Surpassed so no activation or automatic release clauses in deal ➕ Guardiola verbal agreement with FA in 2024 but changed mind @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/ooTMlDK8wc
The average man is too honest in places where he should be strategic, and too dishonest in places where he should be accountable. He reveals his plans to strangers, but lies to himself about his habits. Power begins when you reverse this. Be private with the world. Be mercilessly honest with yourself.
Schopenhauer on why intelligence and solitude belong together. While the fool cannot bear his own company and seeks distraction wherever he can find it, the man of talent transforms even desolate places through the life of his own mind.—Saying that "the most sociable of all people are the negroes, and they are at the bottom of the scale in intellect... because they cannot have too much of one another’s snub-nosed company."
Isaac Newton died a virgin at 84 years old. he never had a sexual relationship with any person in his entire life. the man who discovered gravity, invented calculus, and defined the laws that govern the physical universe practiced complete retention for 84 years
his colleagues at Cambridge described him as having an almost inhuman ability to focus. he would enter his study and not emerge for days. meals would be left at his door untouched. when he finally came out he would have filled hundreds of pages with calculations that advanced human knowledge by decades
the Principia Mathematica, widely considered the most important scientific work ever written, was produced during a period where Newton isolated himself completely. no social life. no relationships. no distractions of any kind. just pure channeled energy directed at understanding how the universe works
what nobody mentions in physics class is that Newton explicitly believed sexual release diminished mental capacity. he wasn't celibate by accident or because he couldn't find a partner. he was a professor at Cambridge surrounded by social opportunity. he chose retention deliberately because he believed it was the source of his cognitive power
the mind that decoded the laws of the physical universe and invented the mathematical language to describe them operated for 84 years without a single release. that's not a footnote in his biography. that might be the explanation for everything he achieved
the father of modern physics ran an 84-year retention streak and nobody talks about it because the implication would force the scientific community to take the practice seriously
I’m just delighted by the fact we weren’t even linked with a proper passing CM at all this summer. Not once, as far as I know
Looked like yet another window of “let’s stack up some Super Sunday CMs”…. and then all of a sudden, Ornstein drops a little bomb that boosts my day
You won’t believe the trust that allows me to place in Carrick. Might look small, but it’s astronomical to me. Tells me he gets it
Not because Tielemans is like we’re getting some peak Xavi or Modric (don’t get me wrong, he’s quality), but because the profile is like gold dust to this Man Utd squad & struggles over a 38 game PL campaign
First Man Utd manager to address this hole (bar maybe LvG with Blind, but later moved to CB so redundant) and we’ve had some supposed “big dogs” in that OT hot seat. None of them could see it
Early days, but certainly appears that he understands what’s needed from this rebuild💪
ejaculation suppresses your prefrontal cortex activity for 24-72 hours. this is the brain region responsible for discipline, impulse control, long-term planning, and the ability to delay gratification. the exact functions that separate high performers from everyone else
the mechanism is dopamine depletion. your prefrontal cortex runs on dopamine. when ejaculation crashes your dopamine below baseline and prolactin suppresses it further, the prefrontal cortex loses its fuel supply. it doesn't shut off completely. it just operates at reduced capacity
this is why the day after release you're more likely to skip the gym, eat junk food, scroll your phone for hours, procrastinate on important work, and make impulsive decisions. it's not weakness. it's neurochemistry. your impulse control center is running on empty
- the prefrontal cortex doesn't fully mature until age 25. men who ejaculate frequently during their teens and early twenties are depleting the primary fuel source of a brain region that is still developing
- every successful habit you've built, gym consistency, diet discipline, work ethic, runs through the prefrontal cortex. ejaculation temporarily weakens the engine that powers all of them simultaneously
- this is why men on retention report that discipline feels effortless after 2-3 weeks. the prefrontal cortex is fully fueled for the first time. willpower isn't a character trait. it's a neurochemical state
- decision fatigue accelerates dramatically when dopamine is depleted. you make worse choices about money, food, relationships, and work because the evaluation system in your brain is understaffed
- the "I'll start tomorrow" voice in your head is loudest the day after ejaculation because the part of your brain that overrides that voice is chemically suppressed
- this is also why porn addiction and procrastination are almost always found together. they share the same root cause: chronic prefrontal cortex depletion from repeated dopamine crashes
you're not lazy. you're depleted. the motivation you're searching for isn't missing. it's being chemically suppressed every time you release
