@ffdataroma Took Nico in round 13 of a startup in 2023..
Was one of my guys. Just sold him + chase brown and got James Cook/Davante Adams/3rd. How'd i do?
@SouthwestAir cancelled my sunday night flight from Tulsa to Denver. Caused me to miss work today which cost me hundreds, and they wont even give me a travel credit? Terrible customer service, do better.
Mark Douglas teaches us that to trade well, you need to:
Detach emotionally from each trade
Accept randomness in the short term
Trust your edge to play out over many trades
Stop fighting the flow and adapt instead
Can you do this?
Sentiment will once again reveal where the top in altcoins will be. When the checklist starts ticking all the usual boxes, it’s time to GTFO before the elites pull the plug.
TA without sentiment is incomplete.
Sentiment without TA is chaos.
Master reading both and you win.
Dear weak, evil, leftfilth parasites who truly deserve the worst,
I really do understand that you think you're the good guys. I remember falling for the brainwashing when I was an innocent child, too. Most of it, anyway.
It's just that the most evil people in the world are always the ones who fight for what they WANT to be true, and never the ones who fight for THE TRUTH itself.
This is something we understand about you, but you don't understand about us (which proves that we're morally superior, by the way) - we get it that you're fighting for what you want to be true.
You want to make the ideal world real. It's a beautiful dream, and you love it. You love your beliefs, and you see yourself as good because you fight for them.
What you don't understand is that pretty much none of us want our beliefs to be true. They're horrifying. They're uncomfortable. We hate them. I hate my beliefs. They make adrenaline fill my bloodstream at 2am. I don't want to believe them. It's not fun.
But I believe them because they are true. And believing the truth is the only way you can ever make the world more ideal. And that's what you want, isn't it?
If you have cancer, that really sucks to believe. That's a painful belief to have. But if you just... choose to believe that you don't, then nothing changes and you don't bother fighting it. You didn't make anything better, and you gave up your only chance to try.
I hate it that reality isn't like they told me it was in school and on TV. I hate it that people aren't the same. Individually, by group, and ESPECIALLY men and women! Oh, LORD, how I ever wanted women to be the same as me! I honestly thought I was just... waiting for a woman who thought the same as me. What a train wreck my love life was until I gave up on that beautiful but wrong belief!
And what a train wreck our world is now because you won't give up on yours. And you bring that not only on yourselves, but on everyone around you. Reprehensible!
In a more intelligent world, we wouldn't give you the vote. We would administer the Asch Conformity Test and filter out the unconscious and the cowards and the weaklings (you). We would check to see if your beliefs describe reality or if they describe your ideal comfort state and then let you have a "play vote" so you feel included (we'd burn them). We would take power away from your delusions.
Over here, in the real world, our beliefs describe reality, and they suck. They're heavy and spiky and people hate you for having them. Imagine carrying a 70lb backpack full of claw hammers up a 4,000ft mountain and when you get there, the people who need the hammers say "fuck you," because they believe you invented work itself. That's what we're all up to over here. We're carrying the painful burdens that are necessary for building and fixing, and you hate us for it.
Over there, in cartoon playland, everything you believe makes you feel vindicated and heroic. Your beliefs are all colorful, scented pillows embroidered with butterflies.
That should be your first clue. If what you believe about reality isn't disappointing, it's probably not true. Your ancestors hunted, built log cabins, farmed... unpleasant stuff, but necessary. That's what reality feels like. Unpleasant, but necessary. And if you fight for things that are pleasant and not true, you are just playing a game of "I don't have cancer if I don't admit it."
You can help stop the cancer. You just have to admit it's there first. And we'll help! We're not like you. We won't spit on you for asking. We want you to understand because when you do, it makes the problems go away faster.
The reason that you're such awful people is not that you don't have golden wishes in your hearts. We know that you do. It's that you spit at us for bringing the tools you need to get the world you want. And then you don't use them, and the world gets worse, and you spit at us for that, too.
The answer is really simple. Just pick up a hammer instead of believing that buildings go up by themselves. Face the unpleasantness.
Funny how trading ends up teaching you more about life
than the charts ever could.
It’s supposed to be numbers and patterns, probabilities and edge.
But what you really find is a mirror.
You see your impatience:
wanting profits now, unable to wait for the setup.
You see your ego:
needing to be right, even if it means holding a loser until it destroys you.
You see your fear:
cutting winners too soon because the pain of giving it back feels unbearable.
And then you realize — it’s the same everywhere.
In relationships, in money, in health, in goals.
We sabotage ourselves because we chase feelings instead of following plans.
Trading is just a concentrated version of life.
All your weaknesses exposed.
All your strengths tested.
Fix them here, and you’re not just building a trading account.
You’re building a life account that compounds even more.
