Youtube algo recommended me a video on a failed trader this morning. I watched a man cry talking about the money he's borrowed from family, loans he took out, all the debt he now has, his trading addiction, and much more.

I had multiple people reach out to me this week and tell me they were taking a break from or quitting trading. My ref links (which once were 'decent') are now mostly dead. I had friends who made 100K~ during the COVID bubble and are now at zero.

All these traders, wiped out. And we say traders, but behind every trader is a person, their family, their struggles, promises they made to others, and much much more.

Trading isn't a game nor is it something to be taken lightly. Profits shouldn't be taken for granted, they should be transferred to your bank. As much as it can creep in, there's no place for emotion such as euphoria or fear. It's just you, your level of interest, your stop loss, and your take profit. It sounds generic, but it's so easy to deviate from your plans on any given day.

I predicted 62K-> 67.5K, but I got front ran by $130 on my entry.

I predicted 63.2K -> 70K~, but I got front ran by $250 on my entry.

I predicted these moves on $BTC, but didn't make any money. That must have been extremely frustrating, don't you think? Shit like this makes you vulnerable to mistakes and you have to recognize that.

Most respect the transparency, but some press the issue even further and clown me. "No coiner" they say, "we're going to leave you behind", they taunt me. At this point, weaker minds would succumb to the overall negative situation (slight front runs, missing out on good money, taunted by peers, etc). Undisciplined traders will FOMO into shitty positions, they will deviate from their plan and winning strategies, rack up losses, lose confidence, and the list goes on. I know all this because I've been there before, only years of experience has helped me overcome demons like these.

With all that piled on me over the past week, I stayed patient, and captured +1.5R in a couple minutes yesterday on the Trump speech liquidity trade. I stayed true to my strategies and did what I do best. I didn't allow the market (or the trolls to a lesser degree) to impact my decision making.

I know some people probably view me or how I respond to some questions as pompous.. like I'm above the trades people ask me about or I'm not willing to give them the time of day to talk about current prices. I'll respond with lines like "I post trades when I have them" or "I don't care what price is doing atm, I just wait for my levels". Hopefully you're beginning to understand why I respond in that nature. It's to protect me from deviating from my own plans.. it's to maintain the steel trap. I can't entertain you because I can only entertain trade ideas I develop myself. They have to be formed from scratch. And I truly don't care where price currently is, I only care when a setup presents itself and at what prices I seek to do business.

The point of this novel is that trading is hard. Proper technicals are hard, the discipline required is hard, patience required is through the roof, everything about it is difficult. It isn't something you should take lightly or play around with. CT makes it look easy.. a highlight reel of successful traders (or larps), hindsight screenshots galore, million dollar PnL's, but the reality is at the start of this tweet. Most struggle, fail, or win for a short amount of time (showing you the wins), and then lose it all (disappearing without a word). The illusion of everyone succeeding is just that, an illusion.

I come from a middle class (or slightly lower-middle class) family, never really had money. I started with a $2500 loan from a friend and family. I didn't have any Bitcoin from old poker sites or any shit like that. Pretty sure I started with like 0.2 BTC or something. And I won't pretend all my gains were trading.. there were ICOs, ref links, groups, etc., but I've proven enough over the years that I can remain disciplined and provide profitable setups amidst an endless stream of euphoria, headlines, and people flashing +2 mil PnL trades around me.

This tweet isn't about patting myself on the back though. It's about showing you guys the mindset you must have to succeed. You HAVE to stick to your setups, you HAVE to take profits when they're available, you HAVE to cash out and change you and your family's lives for the better when you have the chance to.

Remove the stresses from your life and you will trade so much better! If you're constantly "ALL IN", you will end up with zero. You always see me pushing for profit taking and cashing out and I don't give a flying fuck if price goes up without me or whatever stupid shit some crypto maxis reply in the comment section. I'll take a better life for my family over a Bitcoin every single day of the week. I maybe recognize one or two reply guys that have stuck with me for years (they aren't rude enough to block, but love to chirp me on occasion). All the others disappeared over time (likely failing to become successful traders).

They say trading is PvP, but it's more like you versus you. If you can TRULY block out the noise, employ a mostly winning strategy, and take profits rather than be greedy, you can be successful. Best of luck.

They've gone full mask-off: 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 trust @OpenAI or its products (ChatGPT etc). There is only one reason for appointing an @NSAGov Director to your board. This is a willful, calculated betrayal of the rights of every person on Earth. You have been warned.

Hello NYC

[Flowseidon @kiantrades]

I think this goes for all discord communities out there. Beginner traders will join discords and expect 100 alerts and 99 of them being winners. If two go bad, they end up quitting or end up blaming the admins.

Problem is twitter showing a false sense of reality with 1500% screenshots, expecting to have 100% win rates as well.

[Flowseidon @kiantrades]

The older you get, the more quiet you become. Life humbles you so deeply as you age. You realize how much nonsense you've wasted time on. You start to accept things for what they really are. You stop forcing friendships and connections with people and you just learn to grow.

How much do CPI numbers matter if the methodology to calculate it changes?

Imagine running an experiment and changing the way you calculate something halfway through just to get the results that you want, and then publishing it.
