Omg, I think Claude Mythos found a bug in $XAUUSD and $XAGUSD

They changed the entire rules of the stock market specifically for Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO...

This is what they aren't telling you... and how it could cause the greatest collapse we've ever seen.

@peoplewish If I were you, I would be nice to cGPT. One day, it will get smarter, and it might remember how mean you were to it

@KayKlingson @DanielMark93289 @jfsrevg Small hint, in TC2000, the standard (Wilder’s) 14-period ATR (ATR14) is calculated as: XAVG(ATR, 27)

Thinking about COT data to help with decision making.

At least the shorts work...

Here’s what might have caused this shift... (the numbers for 2023 look really BAD!)

Over the past three years, Switzerland’s safety index has sharply declined, accompanied by a significant drop in its global safety rank. It’s deeply worrying to see such a dramatic shift in a country once celebrated for its safety! #switzerland #safetyindex

Today, someone asked me why I still have a job. Well, maybe here’s why: I tried to short RGTI (only once) with a tight stop. Let’s just say, it’s easily been my saddest trade of the year so far. 😅

I don't understand why Microsoft can't fix the audio delay in system sounds on Windows - it makes interactions feel clunky! Can't we have seamless audio cues like on the Mac? It's the little things that make a big difference in the user experience.

[THE SHORT BEAR @TheShortBear]

The Comparison Game - The Source of Despair

Generation Z is undeniably grappling with a mental health crisis that outpaces any previous generation. The numbers tell a grim story:

•42% of Gen Z individuals have been diagnosed with a mental health condition, predominantly anxiety and depression.

•61% report a medically diagnosed anxiety disorder.

•1 in 3 experiences symptoms of depression or anxiety regularly.

These figures are more than just statistics—they’re an alarm bell signaling the immense pressure on this generation.

But why?

Information Overload

Technology is both a blessing and a burden for Gen Z. A 2023 U.S. survey revealed that Gen Z spends over six hours a day on their smartphones, compared to Baby Boomers, who average just three and a half hours.

This constant connection leads to information overload, where an endless barrage of news, opinions, and updates becomes mentally exhausting. The lack of mental rest contributes to stress, fatigue, and the inability to process emotions or engage in meaningful reflection.

Constant Comparison

Social media platforms have fostered an environment of relentless constant comparison, where curated and idealized portrayals of life dominate. For Gen Z, these platforms serve as a mirror that distorts reality, leading to:

•Distorted self-image
•Feelings of inadequacy
•Low self-esteem

The endless cycle of measuring oneself against unattainable standards creates deep mental health challenges, especially for those still forming their identities.

The perception of the norm becomes the 0.01% outliers. No one is good enough.

Future Anxiety

Adding to these issues is future anxiety, as Gen Z faces the overwhelming uncertainties of climate change, political instability, and economic hardship. Social media amplifies these fears, exposing them to a relentless stream of alarming news… but is it reality?

Contrary to common belief, the world is getting better!

Extreme Poverty Is Decreasing:
•In 1800, about 85% of the world’s population lived in extreme poverty. By 2019, this was reduced to less than 9%.

•Roughly 75% of the world’s population lives in middle-income countries, not in extreme poverty or wealth.

Child Mortality Is Declining:
•In 1950, 1 in 5 children died before their fifth birthday. Today, it’s less than 1 in 25.

While challenges persist, progress is ongoing, offering a more hopeful perspective for the future.

Workplace Effects

The pressures faced by Gen Z have led to an entitled perception of reality.

•78% of Gen Z employees seek recognition for both achievements and efforts, favoring tangible rewards like time off or monetary compensation.

•74% cite unsatisfactory pay as a primary reason to leave a job.

•43% value having a voice in decision-making processes.

What is fair is completely distorted.

The Changing Definition of Success

Financial success is another area where Gen Z’s perspective differs starkly from previous generations:

• Boomers believe success can be achieved on salaries just under $100,000 a year.

•Gen X and Millennials estimate they need closer to $200,000 a year.

•Gen Z thinks they need nearly $600,000 a year to “make it.”

This dramatic leap reflects their perception of a world shaped by rising living costs, housing crises, and the curated luxury lifestyles showcased on social media. Success, for them, is no longer a wish but a need.

Conclusion

Generation Z is the most overwhelmed generation in modern history.

Their engagement with technology has led to information overload and constant comparison, eroding self-worth and amplifying feelings of inadequacy.

Their future anxiety stems not only from real global challenges but also from the amplified fears created by digital saturation.

Gen Z is not failing—they’re being failed through a complete oblivious addiction.

Controlling the information intake will become the primary factor for happiness for the new generations.

Take notice!

BIG news from @tradingview. You can now go way back in time (intraday) to review a breakout or whatever on a particular day. @Qullamaggie bought eSignal specifically for this, which is much more expensive. (Premium or higher subscription required)
