If you have a partner/family that’s supportive of your trading journey and giving you time to learn,
You OWE it to them to respect their time and give it all you’ve got with nothing but discipline and dedication.
Honoring your trading plan is honoring your family.
Nothing happens before it’s time!
The interesting thing about Simon’s the perspective that secrecy is power. He reluctantly did the book and you can tell he was withholding some information. Would love to pick his brain.
Also, congratulations on the new podcast interview. Watched it today and it was 👌🏽🤌🏽
None of this advice will truly work for you for you if you don’t have BBC.
Backtesting Builds Confidence in your strategy and refines your execution approach, allowing you to walk away from your trades with profit.
It’s important for you to thoroughly backtest your strategy.
Trading "edges" are not created, borrowed, prefabricated or copied
Nope!!!!
Edges cannot be bought and they cannot be sold
Edges cannot be granted to someone else. If they could, then they are not really edges, or at least not your edge
Edges can only be personal
Edges represent hard fought battlegrounds upon which you left skin -- emotional, financial, intellectual
It is near impossible to know an edge exists until it is seen in the rear view mirror
The most profitable edges are those whose tiny indentations and scratches have been explored under the magnifying glass of time. This is where the magic lies
Just as world-class chefs can taste a hint of a seldom used spice and a trained sommelier can decipher the vineyard and crop year, so can an owner of an edge detect minute changes of market behavior. This is what enables the edge to remain sharp
Edges are typically discovered after years of trial and error (five years or so by those discovering) And then edges can then be honed for decades
If you have an edge that has stood the test of time, then I honor you. I know the journey you have been on. We together are survivors. In my case, I take no credit
If you are on a journey to discover an edge to market speculation, I can only encourage your first discovery location to be risk management. You will need to hone this before honing any thing else is even possible.
God Speed to you all

👑 The Stoic Who Became Emperor 👑
Once, in a land of chaos and noise, there lived a Stoic Trader
He wasn’t born powerful.
He wasn’t gifted with riches.
He didn’t move fast, shout loud, or chase crowds.
But he had something far more dangerous: clarity.
Every morning, he would sit in silence.
While others ran around chasing more, shouting louder, and reacting to the latest drama, he would write in his journal:
“Control what you can. Endure what you can’t. Trade with reason, not with hope.”
He watched as other traders, the gamblers, the impulsive, the noise-chasers, got rich fast… and poor even faster.
He stayed still. He studied. He waited.
For years, he took trades like a swordsman takes a duel:
🗡️ One clean strike. One clear purpose. One calculated risk.
He didn’t react. He responded.
He didn’t predict. He prepared.
He didn’t worship money. He mastered process.
And while others tried to build kingdoms overnight, only to watch them crumble…
The Stoic built something else.
A system.
A strategy.
A philosophy.
Brick by brick, he built it.
Discipline over drama.
Execution over emotion.
Risk management over revenge.
Until one day…
He looked around… and realized he was no longer the Stoic in the shadows.
He was the one others came to for guidance.
He was the one who had built not just wealth, but peace, control, and power.
He had become…
The Emperor 👑
⸻
📌 Takeaway:
You don’t become an Emperor by acting like a gambler.
You become an Emperor by trading like a Stoic.
Discipline is your edge.
Clarity is your weapon.
Consistency is your empire.
🔥 This is the Trader to Emperor path.
