It genuinely amused me that people think replacing Starmer will make things better.
From Boris Johnson's election onwards, we've been shuffling the bollards on the Titanic.
You have to actually change direction if you want to avoid crashing into the iceberg:
- End Net Zero
- Make business viable again
- Get welfare under control
- Fund defence
- Ensure equality under the law
- Arrest criminals and keep them in jail
- Deport illegal immigrants and close the border
- Bring the civil service to heel
Burnham will become as unpopular as Starmer within months since he isn't going to do any of that.
@baynkr LLMs fabricate citations with the same confidence they write prose - to the model it's the same.
10+ fake papers in my "rigorous" research audit today.
Fix: LLM does the labour, you own the epistemics. Never ask "what's the frontier?" - only "synthesise these sources" .
I’ll go on record and say 95% of what developing traders call “psychology problems” are really just gaps in their process.
If you’re constantly chasing trades it means your entry rules aren’t clear enough. If you’re freezing up at exits it’s because you never defined your targets. If you’re panicking every time price moves against you it’s because you’re sized wrong or never built a position sizing framework in the first place. Moves that fall within your process shouldn’t cause panic.
All of this stuff flows directly from process. Stop reading mindset books and start defining your process. Your trading shapes your mindset, not the other way around.
Trading is ….”Not a game where the guy with the 160 IQ beats the guy with the 130 IQ. Once you have ordinary intelligence, what you need is the temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble.”
Warren Buffett
The only thing that matters to me is Average Loss vs. Average Win and Profit Factor.
Your NEED to win is seriously holding back your trading.
Get comfortable losing..
You're going to lose for the rest of your career... if you want to make it a career..
We had a great talk with @kimanncurtin about one's relationship with money, the problem with unmet needs, the role of shame in trading and how to set yourself up for success. Don't miss Kim's mind-expanding tips:

It’s Friday, so here is your end of week reminder that the market is constantly advertising for liquidity.
Know what you want to see, where you want to see it, when you want to see it.
Until that occurs, treat most market movement as you would any other advert: skip it.
Most "psychological" trading problems are symptoms of weak or ambiguous processes.
Weak process → uncertainty → stress → impulsiveness → losses → emotional damage.
Clear process → less ambiguity → lower stress → disciplined decisions → consistency.
Your inner game is a reflection of your outer process.
Your psychology can’t outperform your process.
Professional traders see losses as just another business expense, never a personal failure.
Win or lose, their process stays exactly the same.
If you can’t separate feelings from results, you’ll never make it as a pro. Period.
There’s only one piece of advice that you need in this business, or any other endeavour in your life, for that matter.
Ask yourself everyday: “Am I acting like a cunt?”
If the answer is yes, do something about it. ASAP.
Oh and Happy Easter. Cheers.

How many traders actually
Have a proper playbook with a real edge
Keep a daily journal and record trades
Review their performance and trades at the end of the week
This is the secret sauce of the 5-10% who succeed—not a secret strategy.
Stop moaning and start improving!
