it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself

[David Senra @davidsenra]

.@danawhite says one of the keys to longevity is to block out all negativity:

“It never even crosses my mind that something's not going to work. I just keep going until it does work.”

“There's this Bruce Lee quote where he says, ‘Never say negative things about yourself or what you're working on even if you're joking, because your body doesn't know the difference.’”

“I never take in any negativity.”

Imagine boarding a flight from Japan to Texas for the World Cup. Your team grinds out a 2-2 thriller. Then, while everyone else heads for the exits, you and thousands of fellow supporters grab trash bags and leave the 80,000-seat stadium cleaner than you found it.
No prompts. No cameras chasing clout. Just quiet, undeniable respect.
That’s the Japanese fans. 🙏🏻🇯🇵

[BowTiedYukon @BowTiedYukon]

Stop thinking you need balance

You don't

The only way to see how far you can take this is to be obsessed

Pick a goal so big it makes normal people uncomfortable

Work while they complain about how hard it is

Build while they sleep

Most people talk their entire lives about their potential

Don't talk about yours

Exceed it

[Dear Self. @Dearme2_]

Sex feels different when you never masturbate.

Getting drunk feels different when you have reasons to celebrate.

Spending money feels different when you’re rewarding yourself for your ambition and discipline.

Cheat meal feels different when you keep a strict diet.

Earn your fun.

@AmexCanada really have to step your game up. Your service is a D- at best, your algos are making arbitrary decisions that cost people hundreds of $100,000’s. Took you guys 14 business days to tell me the documents I submitted for my appeal needed to be PDF (they were PDF lol)

If you're a Trader who's feeling a bit lost without a Strategy

Below are my unfiltered ramblings on how to get over this hurdle ↓

-----------------------

There are only 4 components to a Strategy

1. The style (momentum or mean reversion)

2. Entry trigger (if X happens, enter the trade)

3. Stoploss (if Y happens, exit the trade for a loss)

4. Target (if Z happens, exit the trade for a win)

The immediate goal isn't to build something that prints money or is even profitable, it's just to build "something" rather than "nothing".

Once you have "something", then the next step is proving consistency.
• consistency
• this is referring to how well can you actually adhere to the rules of the strategy.
• the reason why this needs to get proven ASAP is because if you have a perfectly winning strategy but are unable to follow the rules, then you're still going to lose money.
• so consistency comes FIRST, before anything else. This is literally the most important thing because it's the foundation of everything.
• before you have are "consistently trading a profitable strategy", you need to be "consistently trading a strategy... it doesn't necessarily even have to be profitable."

Even if the strategy is NOT a winning strategy, it doesn't matter. Again, huge huge emphasis on nailing the consistency. (Yes I might sound like a broken record here, but repeating something over and over stresses how important something is)

"But if I'm consistent with a losing strategy then I'll lose money!" - relax lol, you don't actually have risk money on trades to prove consistency.
• You can trade with pretend money (on demo) or just take paper trades (live or on replay mode).
• The goal at this step is getting confirmation that you can actually follow the rules of your strategy. That's it... literally nothing else matters apart from this.

If you are struggling to adhere to the rules of your strategy:
• make the rules easier to follow
• make the rules harder to break
• repeat over and over again until you're able to make every single trade look pretty much the same and you're not deviating from the trading rules.

------------

QUESTION:
→ "Okay I've confirmed that I can perfectly adhere to my Strategy Rules... Now what?..."

ANSWER:
→"Now it's time to make the strategy suck less."

After you confirmed that you have perfect consistency, flawlessly following the rules of your trades, the next step is optimizing your strategy.

If you're perfectly following the rules of a strategy that sucks, you're still going to lose money.

Strategy optimization only can properly begin after achieving perfect consistency.
• Here you will need to journal/track every single trade that's taken and regularly review the trades.
• Compare winning trades with losing trades and play the game of "spot the difference".
• Do more of what's working in the winners, do less of what's showing up in the losers.
• Repeat over and over and over again until the strategy and execution is really polished and refined.

------------

TL;DR:

Step 1. Just build something. Something is better than nothing. It doesn't even have to make money.

Step 2. Prove that you can actually stick to the rules of the strategy. If you can't, make the strategy easier. If you can follow the rules, move onto step 3.

Step 3. Optimize the Strategy by making it suck less. Do less of what's common in your losers. Do more of what's common in your winners. Journalling/Tracking everything and regular reviewing is crucial at this stage.

Good luck.

A Trading Lesson I Wish I Learned Earlier

There are tons of ultra-rich people who log into crypto exchanges just to gamble.

Like an abnormally large amount, so many people underestimate how many huge whale degenerates are online on a daily basis, just blowing their money via blatantly gambling.

Every single day there are millions of dollars in liquidations.

It is mind-blowing how many people don’t use stop losses, don’t understand risk and barely know how to use the exchange that they're on.

Our job as traders is to find inefficiencies (which are often created by incompetent market participants) and capture them.

The reminder here is that trading is a zero-sum game.

One really big “aha moment” for me was shifting focus away from BTC and putting my attention into Altcoin perps.

The reason is because the "gambler-to-trader ratio" is way more skewed toward “gambler". A much higher % of market participants make silly errors in alt perps rather than BTC.

Assuming all else is equal, they are simply easier to trade.

Sometimes trading isn’t about being a genius.

Sometimes it’s about letting other players make mistakes and being there to capitalize on it.

If you work too hard, then they'll call you "obsessed."

It's a form of virtue signaling. It's too hard for people to put the work in themselves, so they rather cope by tearing you down.

Remember, extreme results require extreme inputs.

That was the most silent BTC ATH I've ever seen.

Followed by one of the loudest 4% pullbacks...

[K A L E O @CryptoKaleo]

I will carry fifty bags of groceries into the house in one trip and turn my arms into a luggage rack before having to make a second trip back to my car.

If you don’t do the same you’re not a real man.

[Koroush AK @KoroushAK]

TAO, SOL, APT, MEME.

All fresh LTF setups from today with clean plays for both momentum and mean reversion traders.

If you’re not seeing opportunity in this market, you’re likely not using the correct screening system.

There's endless opportunity to make money here. Every day.

2 years ago, I moved my entire life to Cyprus to escape Germany's 50% tax rate.

It was the most expensive "money-saving" decision I've ever made.

Here's 21 brutal realities of tax haven living (that nobody warns you about):

[@levelsio @levelsio]

I think many people do not understand the connection between being able to say what you want freely and your economy doing well

Countries that suppress speech often fall into economic and technological decline because their leaders only hear what they want to hear

Innovation happens when people can challenge existing norms, question assumptions, and propose new solutions to problems

Businesses and economies grow when bad policies are openly criticized and improved

When people know they can express ideas freely without fear of censorship or persecution, they are more willing to take risks

The most innovative economies tend to have stronger protections for free speech

While countries with rigid speech controls (e.g., North Korea, Iran) fall behind because they stifle innovation and knowledge sharing

Even if the memes are bad and insulting people isn't nice, it's better to allow that than the alternative

Because from history we learnt that limiting free speech is a VERY slippery slope, once you start arresting people for posting memes or insulting people, you usually don't end there and will keep going further and further
