Challenge: 12 props in 12 months trading NQ1! | I only trade between 6am and 7am London time because of... life | Own a set of laundromats | IoT hobbyist
Really ashamed of my trading today. Not because of not making money but because I suffered from paralysis and didn't enter 5 or 6 times I should have and then on both occasion I entered I chicken out in a few seconds. Disappointed really
Sometimes I forget how useful AI can be.
Just told Claude to build me a app to remove pages from pdfs, it did it in under 2 minutes and now I can merge, remove and handle pdfs freely while the site I was using before had limits and I would have to use multiple websites to do it
This is a quote I got from Cláudia Quintela: "Performance gets you in the door, that's all."
Cláudia is a friend of mine, and was an institutional cap raiser for UBS & Morgan Stanley and more recently her own firm Vibe Advisors.
She said that the main thing that the allocators are looking at is you as a person. The first 10 seconds can decide whether the allocators are going to look to back you or not.
You have to be confident yet humble. You have to be knowledgeable yet eager to learn from them and to accommodate them, you have to be presentable.
It's more about you as a human than it is about your strategy. Generally the allocators might have met 30 traders that week. They might have met 500 traders in the year. You aren't special.
As the manager, you have to shine as an individual, instead of walking into that room thinking "they need me because I have a Sharpe of 2.5." That's great but what separates you from the other 1,000 managers that have a Sharpe of 2.5?
Because, if the numbers in the data read the same, they have to understand who's backing that data and that is you as the manager.
It baffles me some employees.
I can do their shift for two weeks with them on vacations without anything breaking or malfunctioning but, as soon as they return, stuff magically starts to break and going wrong
I got this but specially when people complain about something that I know they have no reason for it. At the beginning i would try to satisfy the client as much as i could, now I just play deaf
As I’ve gotten older the biggest utility of money is the ability to say no. Being able to say no to painful customers, not having to take jobs with bad bosses to pay rent, etc. Being able to work on your own terms and getting time back outweigh the material benefits of money in a big way. The dopamine hit of pleasure / luxury goods are ephemeral

Lately my laundries are having a shift in their customer base.Less regular people and more hostels and other businesses that used to use industrial services. My theory is that money is stopping flowing, and they're resorting to cheaper places. Regular people just don't have money
So let's start. So far this month is this. I have until the end of September to reach $3000, if I fail I will have to pass 2 challenges in October, whatever it takes
