"Bitcoin is too complicated!" Oh, you think you understand how the dollar works?
Ten, two-letter words to always keep in mind: If it is to be, it is up to me.
Getting offended easily, feeling entitled, arguing about foolish things that barely matter, are symptoms of a too comfortable life. Anyone who had any real struggle knows they are alone, that no one cares when they play the victim, that they are responsible for their own fights.
This image from @behaviorgap is one of my favorites: Your energy is finite. Use it wisely.
Slow down, let go, be present.
After a failure, the next decision has elevated importance—it's where you stop the negative compounding and start a move in the right direction. Great metaphor for life: We can't always control the first bad event, but we are in control of how we let it impact us going forward.
Start em with fitness early, and a 529 plan. The earlier the better.
When my girls were 1 and 3 my next door neighbor Bill’s kids were 17 and 19 and he said something I'll never forget: “The days are long but the years fly by." At that moment I was living the long days part—time certainly didn’t feel like it was flying by. Now—a blink of an…
“There are two cardinal sins from which all others spring: Impatience and Laziness.” — Franz Kafka
The importance of planning, and reviewing, your trades.
"Most errors in judgment happen when we don't know we're supposed to be exercising judgment."
There are only four descriptors I apply to every event (e.g., trade entered, setup skipped, position flattened): 1) Good decision, good outcome 2) Good decision, poor outcome 3) Poor decision, good outcome 4) Poor decision, poor outcome The concept of decision-quality over…
I don’t know any successful traders who didn’t have to traverse Rock Bottom before “making it”—NOT A SINGLE ONE. Keep your head up, learn to become an optimist, and reach out. There are good people in the world who will help you for no good reason.
I get a lot of DM’s from traders that are struggling. Today I had a trader reach out that is suicidal. Life is tough, sometimes unrelenting. No matter how bad it is for you-it can get better. There is always hope. Call 988 in the US to get immediate help. You are NOT alone. Don’t…
“The smart trader does not trade the underlying instrument, he trades other traders. And more so, he trades their pain and incompetence. He trades the fact that they have to react to their many mistakes to protect themselves. He exploits predicament and agony, all of it highly…
The key to mastering your trading psychology is NOT to control your emotions, but BE AWARE of your current state of emotions. Once you recognize the difference between emotional AWARENESS and emotional CONTROL (rather, the attempt to control), you’ll be leaps and bounds ahead…
The most successful accounts on FinTwit are: - Negatively Biased (perma-bears, will find any reason to insult and/or mock others) - simultaneously post so much information (35 charts) while also only ever showing the last 6 months - are both experts in intraday and macro -…
One of the least profitable thoughts in trading is: "it doesn't make sense". Stop trying to make sense of every market move. Trade what's happening on your charts. Bonus: "If it doesn't make sense, why the fuck are you still in the trade?"
Everyone wants to play pro ball, but not many are willing to put in the work. Even amongst those who try, less than 1% make it into the big leagues. Trading is a performance activity, like any professional sport, that requires dedication and perseverance. Many will try, less…
This is especially true if you’ve spent a lifetime in a field that touts working harder as a method to solving any problem
To excel in a field like trading, you need to unlearn a lot of what society has taught you about failure, happiness, perfection, and the meaning of hard work.
