Today, the Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, invited our world maths champion and young genius, Onwubiko Chimdiebube, along with his mathematics teacher, Master Chisom Unachukwu. He spent quality time with them, encouraging and inspiring them.

The Governor awarded ₦2 million each to Chimdiebube and his teacher, and an additional ₦1 million to their school, bringing the total support to ₦5 million.

I sincerely appreciate Governor Peter Mbah and his team for recognizing excellence. Winning on the global stage is no small feat, especially for such a young talent.

Through mathematics, our young people are standing before kings.

According to Ray Dalio, the easiest way to adjust for risk is to seek uncorrelated returns.

Ray's made billions from a simple idea.

Here's how to do it in a few lines of Python code:

Everyone seems to have all the answers, but few have the money and success. Many years ago, I woke up one morning; I looked into the mirror and I ask myself a very important question: if you're so smart, why aren't you rich? That was the day I started shutting my mouth and listening carefully to those who had more success than me. Because the truth was - at that point - I wasn't that smart yet. But I had to get my ego out of the equation. Then my life changed profoundly.

New Strategy Found Today.

NQ Long/Short Intraday.

Added it to my FTMO Portfolio and stagnation went from 120 days to 92 days.

DD went from 3% to 2%

Adding uncorrelated systems to your portfolio is literally free LUNCH.

When you have the correct framework and the right team you can literally build and scale anything.

If you're struggling in life, do this:

> final food 4 hours before sleep
> screens off 60 before bed
> read a book 10 min before sleep
> light in eyes when waking
> exercise daily

Do it for 7 days straight.

It works. I promise.

After reading Market Wizards: New Generation, my takeaways:
I had the chance to meet a few of the traders featured - and even before they made the fortunes described in the book. That made it all the more interesting to read, even though I already knew how their stories turned out. It reads particularly well when you yourself were involved in practically most of the market situations described - I enjoy analyzing what I could have done better and how others approached the process of building and exiting positions.

I particularly enjoyed the chapters featuring:
@SimonRusso__ - worth reading his blog as well. Truly interesting story of a trading journey - and his general approach to life is equally compelling.
@TheShortBear - achieved so much at such a young age, and yet the hunger is still clearly there. 😊

And surprisingly, @TheOneLanceB - though his transition into course-selling and the new writing style that came with it had honestly put me off him a bit, despite his successes. But I really enyojed reading his chapter

@Qullamaggie - great guy, I remember him from the T4AC conference back in 2016. His perspective on losses — that they are and always will be part of the game — and the reminder to appreciate where you are now versus 5 or 10 years ago really resonated. Thanks to him I moved to swing trading

@Tradestl - met him 1st time on T4AC conference. His trading approach is also very similar to mine, which is probably why it was such a good read.
With him I'm left wanting more, the chapter felt too short.

One thing connects a large portion of them: 2020/2021 was a life-changer. But I suppose that's true for a huge number of traders I know - in person or online. The difference is that only a certain percentage of them carried that momentum forward in the years that followed. I think there could easily be a few dozen more well-known Twitter/X traders that would fit right into this book.

I enjoy this interview format - it always motivates me and gives me a fresh push. Despite being content with my own journey, personal ambition keeps driving me forward.
At the same time, the book is a reminder of what hard work and dedication can bring in an industry where the hours you put in can just as easily result in frustration and losses. And equally - the importance of putting in the work and seizing opportunities as they arise, rather than complaining that the good old days are gone. 😉

Releasing a model this capable comes with risks. Without safeguards, Fable 5’s capabilities in areas like cybersecurity could be misused to cause serious damage.

[Goshawk Trades @GoshawkTrades]

many would benefit from having a checklist before putting any strategy live.

mine looks something like:
- can i explain why this strategy makes money?
- how sensitive is it to parameter change?
- if i remove the best performing year, is it still worth running?
- is it correlated to something i already have in the portfolio?
- what's the max drawdown i need to size for and can i actually sit through it?

none of these are fancy. none require a PhD. but i've watched more strategies blow up from skipping one of these than a bad entry or exit.
