a path to sustainable trading
everything you need to do,
not the easy but the necessary
one year done properly can change everything
first,
stop comparing yourself to other traders
forget the trades they took
forget the profit they posted
forget the analysis they shared
none of that progresses your own trading,
it only adds unnecessary pressure and expectations
everyone is at a different stage in their development
when it comes time to press the buttons,
it will only ever be you and the charts
any outside influences causing you to hesitate on your decisions, feel impatience, or pull you outside of your trading plan should be removed
the only thing that matters is the ongoing information the market is providing from your own perspective
anything else is negative
you can learn from traders,
but do not force yourself to replicate them
second,
avoid consuming targeted content
โlearn ICT in 30 minutesโ
โ100% win rate strategyโ
โeasiest model to learnโ
or anything shared in a similar manner
ask yourself how serious you take this
you should be drawn to educational content for the potential value being offered,
not because of a perceived shortcut
these people only want your attention,
and are willing to choose views at the expense of their followers progress
never be a victim to this
establishing any notable edge in efficient markets will take a lot more effort, time, and refinement
shortcuts will only lead to disappointment,
everything good in trading exists on the other side of the tedious work
third,
journal every single trade you place
across all accounts,
under any trade outcome
everything
journaling can be uncomfortable for some,
it was for me at the beginning
it will expose the reality of your performance and force you into change
if you never address your losses,
your mistakes will slowly become consistent habits
if you never address your wins,
you will never be able to highlight the positives
and at the same time,
there are bad wins and good losses
being able to distinguish between the two through journaling plays a significant role in refining a process
fourth,
focus on learning just one price signature
the market distributes money to traders with defined edge and takes from those who are inconsistent in actions
being average in many approaches will never compare to being proficient in only one
if you do not know where to start,
my recommendation is always to focus on capturing expansions within one specific market and time window
expansion is the intermediary phase of price delivery between consolidation, retracement, and reversal which offers the least resistance to price objectives
once a skill to anticipating expansions is established,
you have a foundation to build from
entries become simple
managing trades becomes simple
knowing when to participate becomes simple
not easy, but simple
regardless if this recommendation fits you,
focusing on one price signature is about concentrating your edge to specific moments when price is obvious and you can perform best
fifth,
learn to be comfortable while remaining sidelined
this is the final point because it is crucial learning point
many attribute sitting out to missing out on opportunity,
often due to my first point
seeing others trades
seeing others profits
seeing others analysis play out
allowing external and irrelevant factors to influence your emotions and decision making on a market which does not see any of those things
this is why patience is a struggle
you simply need a perspective shift
the purpose of being sidelined is to remove yourself from the market during a time you would otherwise be at a disadvantage
protecting your capital during times which you would likely be at a loss is the equivalent to making money
if you can consistently protect your money,
your wins during times when edge is present will be emphasized and not drowned out by previous losses
that is how you get the highest expected value out of any trading system
at the same time,
remember that being hesitant in an abundant market is just as harmful as being ambitious in a market which is not offering
both are important when understanding the line between patience and a trade opportunity
and that is it
if this could help lead just one person in the right direction,
that is good enough for me
these are the lessons among others that I will continue to preach throughout 2024
will be closing my year on that note,
trading begins again next week
BREAKING: GOLDMAN SACHS JUST RAISED ITS HUMANOID ROBOT FORECAST BY 4.7X TO $138 BILLION FOR 2035
Here are 10 companies positioned to benefit the most:
1. $VPG - Vishay Precision Group
VPG makes the force and torque sensors that let a robot hand know how hard it is gripping. Last quarter the company received a vendor nomination letter from its first humanoid customer for a production ramp in the second half of 2026, with the customer's forecast scaling from tens of robots a week to hundreds and then thousands by year end. A second humanoid customer is refining designs, prototypes are going to a third and fourth, and VPG has identified about 150 potential humanoid makers to sell into. Sensor bookings hit an all time record.
The Fed made a very clear statement today.
Not only did they hike interest rates, but it was a 12-0 unanimous decision.
This marks the first unanimous Fed decision since May 2025, amid calls from President Trump to cut rates.
And, the Fed concluded their policy statement by saying, "The Committee will deliver price stability," making it clear that inflation is their top priority.
The question now becomes: How does President Trump respond?
12 days ago, President Trump said he would "stop trading" with 50+ US trade partners if the Fed does not cut rates.
Today, the Fed not only avoided cutting rates, they hiked them.
Clearly, the divide between the White House and the Fed is widening, even with Jerome Powell out.
More to come.
I'm only going to say this TWICE.
If you're under 42, the incoming market CRASH will be a generational time to BUY insanely undervalued stocks at a discount.
Here are 5 stocks I believe can 10x:
1) $SPCX
INSTEAD OF WATCHING AN HOUR OF NETFLIX TONIGHT.
This 60-minute Cambridge lecture by Demis Hassabis will teach you more about the future of AI than most people will learn in the next 5 years.
Bookmark it and give it an hour, no matter what.
Traders now believe if the Fed hikes rates next week, long-term bond yields will fall, as the hike will improve the Fed's inflation-fighting credibility. But the expected hike will be far too little to win the inflation fight, so long-term yields will rise regardless of a hike.
๐จ China Is Officially Moving Onto A New Gold Standard
At todayโs BRICS summit in India, Xi Jinping announced China will take the presidency and open a third โGOLDEN DECADE.โ
Thatโs not poetry.
China has stacked gold for 22 straight months. Hong Kong just stood up a government-backed gold clearing system linked to Shanghai, the first piece of a global vault network so the yuan can settle against physical metal.
China also announced internationalizing its Chinese Yuan for global trade and settlement for the first time ever.
China, Russia and India also announced rolling out their BRICS Pay settlement system as an alternative to SWIFT and dollar system and backed by gold.
China also dumped $70 BILLION in U.S. Treasuries. It's their biggest sell-off since the 2008 financial crisis.
Gold has now surpassed U.S. Treasuries as global reserve asset.
They didnโt say โreplace the dollar tomorrow.โ They built the vaults, bought the gold, and named the decade.
The CCPโs Golden Endgame: Crash the Fiat System, Launch the Gold Yuan.
This was exactly outlined by the famous City Of London banker @LordBelgrave and itโs now coming true.
Anthropic just released a 37-minute guide on how to build AI agents that can automate an entire business.
Itโs free, and it comes straight from the engineers who built Claude.
Agents that actually work, delegate tasks, and get things done on their own.

@TalulahRiley Iโve seen quite a few technologies develop, but none with this level of risk. AGI is significantly higher risk than nuclear weapons, in my opinion.
Super smart humans have trouble imagining something vastly smarter than themselves.
Inflation expectations are on the verge of a major breakout.
Markets underestimate how strongly todayโs macro imbalances will push policymakers toward more inflation.
This will define the next decade and write a new chapter in monetary history.

The US dollar is approaching one of its most consequential technical tests in years.
A break below this support could mark the beginning of a much broader decline.
If I had to choose one market move that could define the next few yearsโฆ this would be it.

BREAKING: Look at this trade by Pelosi.
Pelosi longs 10,000 Bloom Energy, $BE, on the 24th of July + 100 of the 100 calls expiring 6/17.
Then yesterday, it was announced Bloom Energy was going to be added to the S&P500.
Someone always knows.
PRINTING MORE FAKE $
US Treasury announces another round of QE (Quantatative Easing) aka printing fake $.
DXY (index of purchasing power of dollars) CRASHES, which means INFLATION Boomsโฆ.which means savers of fake $ are the biggest losers.
Donโt be a Loser.
As stated in my previous X โIf you think financial education is expensive, what is the price of financial ignorance?โ
Facts are educated investors who invest in assets that go up in value, such as gold, silver, Bitcoin, some real estate, get richerโฆ.while people who are financially uneducated, and invest in fake assets get poorer.
Thank you for investing your time following my Xโs and investing in your financial education.
You grow financially smarter everyday.
As my rich dad often said: โYour greatest expense is not the time and money spend on your financial educationโฆ. Your greatest expense is the money you Do Not make!!!?
Take care.
This ratio chart shows that small/mid gold miners have broken out vs larger gold miners.
Posted on the blue breakout and backtest.
Now it has a pink breakout and backtest.
This is what we want to see as it means the more speculative, smaller stocks are starting to outperform the larger stocks. Means the market is buying more risk, which is bullish.
And, that is a 15 year rounded bottom in the making.
This chart is one more clue that the precious metals bull has started a new phase. #joinus
The 10-year rolling change in the US dollar remains one of the most important macro developments in the world today.
We are likely witnessing the beginning of a secular decline in the dollar โ a necessary adjustment to the significant trade deficit the US economy faces today.
At the same time:
The rest of the world can hardly tolerate another sustained period of dollar strength.
The suppression of yields and a structurally weaker dollar are likely to be two of the defining macro forces of this decade.

A lot of people keep asking me:
โWhat should we be buying now?โ
โWhatโs the next theme?โ
But the truth is, Iโve already talked about many of them publicly.
More than a month ago, I published a YouTube video explaining why I was bullish on names like:
$NTAP $HPE $SNOW $NET $RBRK โฆ
โand, more importantly, the investment logic behind them.
Take $SNOW as an example.
When the video came out, it was trading around $228, right at the kind of M.E.T.A. setup I like.
Today, itโs around $328.
But Iโm not going back to posting daily โBUY THIS NOWโ calls on X.
I donโt think that actually helps people.
Most of the time, it just creates FOMO.
A lot of my trades are based on a medium- to long-term thesis, not what I think the stock will do tomorrow or next week.
So when I identify a potentially big winner and get in at the right time, Iโd rather do what Jesse Livermore preached:
Sit tight.
Not sell half after +1x%.
Then cut another half after another few percent.
And eventually be left with a meaningless position while the real winning stock goes on to double or triple. ๐
The big money often isnโt made by hunting for a new trade idea or setup every single day.
Itโs made by identifying the right trend, owning the right stocksโ
and having the patience to stay with them.
