A trader gets stopped out right before price reverses and thinks:

"I should've given it more room."

No.

A bad outcome doesn't make a good decision bad.

[Trading Composure @TradingComposur]

A trader takes a loss and immediately looks for another setup.

Sometimes that's discipline.

Sometimes that's your emotions.

Know the difference.

[Trading Composure @TradingComposur]

A trader loses five trades in a row and thinks:

"My edge isn't working."

Maybe.

Or you're experiencing the exact variance your edge was always going to produce.

[Trading Composure @TradingComposur]

The market can reinforce terrible behavior before eventually punishing it.

That's one reason traders struggle for so long.

Their mistakes occasionally get rewarded.

The LARGEST human study on Ivermectin + Mebendazole for cancer is now peer-reviewed and published in a major oncology journal.

84.4% of patients reported COMPLETE REMISSION, TUMOR SHRINKAGE, or HALTED TUMOR GROWTH.

Patients took 25 mg Ivermectin and 250 mg Mebendazole. After 6 months, patients had an 84.4% Clinical Benefit Ratio (CBR)—meaning more than four out of five patients reported either:
No evidence of disease (32.8%)
Tumor regression (15.6%)
Cancer stabilization (36.1%)

Cheap. Off-patent. Widely available.

Yet for years it was viciously attacked, censored, and ridiculed as “horse paste” while millions died from cancer — and the industry made trillions pushing toxic chemo and lifelong “treatments.”

This wasn’t an accident.

They don’t want cures.
They want customers.

The dam has broken and the suppression is being exposed.

Data consistently shows that people who go to the gym lose interest in those who lack discipline or direction in life.

In trading, very often, you earn more by doing less.

And very simply, you do less by systemizing your trading process.

If you own a car made after 2020, you need to read this right now.

Your car knows how fast you brake. Where you drive. What time you get home. And depending on the brand, it may be recording your conversations, your weight, and even your facial expressions.

Mozilla reviewed 25 major car brands for privacy. Every single one failed. Cars are officially the worst product category Mozilla has ever tested, worse than smart speakers, worse than doorbell cameras.

Here are 6 moves to lock your car down 🧵

Reminder to go touch grass

A scientist in Japan demonstrated that the air inside a forest strengthens your immune system for a full month

The study is incredibly fascinating:

Qing Li, an immunologist at Nippon Medical School in Tokyo, took 12 men on a 3-day forest trip. These were slow walks with no breathing exercises and no set route.

Then he tested their blood and found a surge in natural killer cells -- the immune cells your body uses to fight cancer and virus-infected cells.

Remarkably, the effect didn't fade when they went home, it was still measurable 30 days later.

A control group that walked the same distance through a city showed no change at all.

Pine, cedar, and cypress trees release compounds called phytoncides to defend themselves from insects and bacteria. You breathe them in, and Li believes they switch your immune cells into high gear.

He estimates one forest walk a month may be enough to keep those cells elevated all year.

The best medicine might not even need a prescription -- just a walk among the trees.

@andre_minassian accurate. but fast food is fast food, rarely any good. Burger Boy here in San Antonio is better than in and out. so good for being fast food. good service too

Emotional discipline is literally a million-dollar issue.

It's the most expensive problem in your trading.

Yet you keep treating it like an afterthought.

[Peter Robbins @prrobbins]

Question for traders:

What trading lesson accelerated your trading performance the most?

Mine was being aware of my emotional reactions and learning to use them for me instead of against me.

[Trading Composure @TradingComposur]

There comes a point where you get frustrated because you know you're capable of so much more.

That's a painful place.

But it's also where transformation usually begins.

[Trader Steve @tradefulltime]

accept and make peace with the fact that trading is going to SUCK sometimes

your strategy will lose, multiple times in a row

you'll struggle to not feel pissed off and like you're doing everything wrong

like you're wasting your time

that's all part of it

keep going

One of my longest-standing arguments is that we are not living in Orwell’s 1984, where truth is centrally suppressed and censored by force (that’s former communist societies, modern-day China, Russia, North Korea).

We are living in something much closer to Huxley’s Brave New World.

The truth is not hidden - it is almost always readily available. But it is buried beneath an industrial quantity of noise: propaganda, outrage, half-truths, conspiracy theories, influencer theatre, algorithmic rage bait and an endless stream of content designed not to inform us, but to keep us emotionally stimulated.

The modern information system does not need to censor the truth when it can simply drown it in noise.

A fact no longer has to be disproven - it only has to be surrounded by a hundred competing claims, stripped of context and nuance, turned into partisan ammunition and pushed into the same feed as celebrity gossip, memes and 15 second videos engineered to deliver the fastest possible dopamine hit. By the time the truth reaches us, it appears as just another piece of content competing for our attention.

That is the more sophisticated form of control: not preventing people from knowing, but exhausting their capacity to care.

Orwell feared a world in which people would be deprived of information. Huxley feared a world in which they would be given so much distraction, stimulation and triviality that they would lose the desire to seek it.

The defining struggle of our age is therefore not simply between truth and censorship, but between truth and indifference.

@andre_minassian oh but the pairing of a wine and cigar can be so nice 😉 Maduros with dry reds and lighter ones with certain whites. A nice fresh grape juice would work too 😊

[Trading Composure @TradingComposur]

Every trader says they want consistency.

Few ask a better question.

"What version of me would naturally produce consistent results?"

Until you change the person, the results rarely change.

Everything in its season

[Trading Composure @TradingComposur]

All things materialize when the appropriate conditions are present.

Be patient with the process.

Don't go wishing for figs in winter.

The trading system that is best for you is the one that you find easiest to follow.
