Let me explain what just happened 👇
5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.
5 minutes…
These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.
There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.
Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.
American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.
This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions.
This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight.
You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question.
Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that.
The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…
Was in the exact same boat up until last year. Spend 5 years trying with no results but finally started getting it. Simplifying my system into 2-3 things that had the biggest impact and executing on it every time is what finally made me consistently profitable.
My trading system is ass. I have good risk management but my execution and trade selection is poor. Progress stalled out. Have all this accumulated knowledge and not turning it into anything. I admire those who have made it work. Feeling burned out with all of it.
The problem with this generation is they have it completely backwards.
They take themselves dead seriously and their mission not seriously at all.
Flip it. Take your work so seriously that no one is allowed to ridicule it, joke about it or make it sound lesser than it is. Guard it with your life like it's sacred-bc it is.
But yourself? Everything else? Silly max. Whimsical. Unserious. Dancing naked in the kitchen energy.
You should be dead serious about your mission and absolutely unhinged about your life. That's how you unspiked cortisol. That's how you stay young and that’s how you win.

@TXMCtrades When you get the negative feelings about it, what parts of what you were doing before comes to mind? Do you think it could be frustration from having very well rounded and data backed opinions, just for them to be critiqued by prominent retards and the crowd?
Everyone is asking: "Is Jane Street why Bitcoin isn't at $150k?"
As expected, the answer is trickier than the question. But it's also more structurally unsettling than the conspiracy theory itself—and once you understand the actual mechanics, you won't be able to unsee them👇
@TXMCtrades The worst part is it doesn't just stop at gambling. Porn and sexualization of everything, drinking and recreational drugs and lack of compassion are just as normalized.
