Superlative grasp of intraday trading from years of intensive horizontal cogitation, refining perception to the point of seeing what no one has yet.

I thank me and am eternally grateful for my fortitude in accomplishing such a gargantuan task.

[Former President-Elect Jim Chao @romeolips]

I continuously thought on Trading chart patterns for at least 12 years non-stop with vigor and rigor until solving it, spending over 35,000 hours in deep thought and I'm so grateful I had the wherewithal to finally complete this Herculean task but did it I did!

PECATUR PUTRI TANAH AIR MENGALAHKAN MAGNUS CARLES, PECATUR NOMER 1 DUNIA

Pecatur putri Tanah Air, WIM Chelsie Monica sukses mengalahkan Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen sang pecatur nomor satu dunia dalam sesi catur simultan yang berlangsung di Hong Kong.

Kemenangan ini terasa istimewa mengingat Carlsen dikenal sebagai salah satu pemain terhebat sepanjang sejarah dan telah menguasai puncak peringkat dunia selama lebih dari satu dekade.

Meski digelar dalam format simultan dan bukan laga turnamen resmi, momen ini tetap menjadi catatan bersejarah yang membuktikan kualitas serta daya saing pecatur Indonesia di kancah internasional.

Lewat torehan ini, Chelsie Monica turut memperpanjang daftar atlet Indonesia yang berhasil mencuri perhatian dunia sekaligus mengharumkan nama bangsa di panggung global.

By eliminating all the wrong answers, you get that much closer to the real answer resulting in a sudden inspiration.

[Former President-Elect Jim Chao @romeolips]

So Trading is a wicked environment and no wonder I've done so well since I utilized and transferred over a horde of experiences from other disciplines including chess, physics, psychology, fighting and especially my love for logical puzzles and I applied them relentlessly to finally reach the end solution.

And I had only hit upon trading as an accident but my love for it was like a vice grip as it involved the reassembling of a deep puzzle which I knew had to have a solution but no one yet had trodden the path that led to it.

Roger Federer played 6 sports before choosing tennis.

Demis Hassabis mastered chess, shipped video games, and got a PhD in neuroscience before building the AI that won the Nobel Prize.

The pattern is not accidental.

Here are the 10 things polymaths do differently:

[Jainam Parmar @aiwithjainam]

1/ They borrow mental models across fields

The specialist has one lens.

The polymath has ten and knows which one to reach for.

When Hassabis needed to solve protein folding, he did not look for a biology solution. He applied the deep reinforcement learning method he had built for games.

The answer to the problem was sitting in a completely different field.

It always is.

[Jainam Parmar @aiwithjainam]

Epstein spent four years studying the best performers across every field.

The ones who changed their fields were almost never the ones who specialized earliest.

They were the ones who stayed curious long enough to see the connection nobody else had the range to make.

The specialist sees one move.

The polymath sees the whole board.

[Jainam Parmar @aiwithjainam]

9/ They match depth to the environment

Epstein's most precise finding was this.

Early specialization works in kind environments. Chess, classical music, elite gymnastics. Fixed rules. Immediate feedback. Patterns that repeat.

In wicked environments it backfires. The specialist builds expertise that is too narrow to transfer when the rules shift.

The polymath is not against depth. They are deliberate about when depth is the right tool and when breadth is.

That judgment is itself a skill most specialists never develop.

[Jainam Parmar @aiwithjainam]

8/ They ask which field has already solved this

Every problem you are stuck on has already been solved somewhere else under a different name.

The polymath's first move is not to push harder on the same approach.

It is to ask which field has already cracked this and what they called it.

Hamming inverted his question and accidentally invented the foundation of computer science.

The answer was already there. He just looked in a different room.

[Jainam Parmar @aiwithjainam]

7/ They are comfortable producing worse output while learning

The specialist stays in their lane because their lane is where they look competent.

The polymath is willing to be bad at something new for as long as it takes to understand it.

This is rarer than it sounds.

Most adults have not been genuine beginners at anything for years. The discomfort of incompetence stops them before the learning starts.

Polymaths have been through it enough times to know what is on the other side.

[Jainam Parmar @aiwithjainam]

6/ They connect ideas nobody introduced to each other

Luhmann wrote 70 books from a wooden box of index cards.

His rule was simple. Every new idea had to link to at least one existing idea. No orphaned information. No isolated facts.

Over 40 years the box started producing connections he had never consciously made.

The polymath's mind works the same way.

The more fields you have lived in, the more threads you have to connect. The connections are where the original thinking lives.

[Jainam Parmar @aiwithjainam]

5/ They build in wicked environments on purpose

David Epstein split the world into two types of environments.

Kind environments have fixed rules and immediate feedback. Chess. Golf. Classical music.

Wicked environments shift constantly. The rules change. Feedback is delayed or misleading. Most of the real world is wicked.

Polymaths deliberately seek wicked environments because that is where breadth beats depth every time.

The specialist optimizes for kind. The polymath trains for wicked.

[Jainam Parmar @aiwithjainam]

4/ They use analogy as a thinking tool

Every breakthrough Epstein documented in Range followed the same structure.

Someone took a solution from one field and applied it to a stuck problem in another.

This is not creativity. It is pattern recognition across domains.

The polymath sees an immune system and thinks supply chain. Sees a chess endgame and thinks negotiation. Sees a video game reward loop and thinks protein folding.

The analogy is the tool. The breadth is what makes it available.

This is exactly my sentiment. When you work so hard with creative insight to find some deep solution and unfortunately it only merits the word 'discovery'; but the word is far and away from doing it even a sliver of justice considering all the excruciating effort put into it!

#WednesdayWisdom: “The word 'discovery' in itself is regrettable. For discovery is equivalent to becoming aware of a thing which is already formed ... Discovery is really not a creative act.” – Albert Einstein
