The thing that humbles most, is going from owning supercars, to drive an old volkswagen golf. Sold every car to close debt. And i can say it was the best thing that could happen to me. I learned that all this cars and money doesnt buy you happiness. Life is full of joy and beautiful moments and this should be your happiness. I know I will get back everything.

@pelipefinance Thanks g. I love them both, but I prefer the new gen
English

@IFadeSpeed You right nothing wrong with it. I hope one day you will get the RS6. Which one btw the new or old gen?
English

@pelipefinance Though I gotta say, an RS6 is my dream car and I can't wait to get one for the autobahn
English

@pelipefinance Nothing wrong with driving a Golf. The shit never gets depreciated in value

@_sierratrading Do you have to keep it running on the localhost server to have it connected to Sierra Chart?

lil' update on the trading journal:
it's become a bit more than just a journal now, just not sure what to call it.
notable new features:
- Brand new "cockpit" view, this is your daily dashboard
- Real-time trades, making the feedback cycle quick!
- Auto imports data from Sierra Chart, no need to pay for data!
The idea with the cockpit is that it's an end-to-end page for the day. From checking in, planning, setting one skill to work on... to journaling on trades (screenshots, voice notes, strategy tagging, emotional tagging)... to doing the review of the day with AI as a feedback loop.
AND... all of this runs locally on the machine, I own my own data. And no subs to anything except for AI which I want to try and get a local model working... maybe sometime in the future as it's quite cheap...

@Larryjamieson_ This is so untrue. Fasting will improve your focus. Its the best feeling in the world

@pelipefinance im a simple guy
i see "no course selling", I follow

@jeeniuzx And now they will earn £115k/year for life after resigning 😩

@ZenomTrader These sound like great goals and I agree with you 👍👍
Me personally I’d do both.

@0xkiyoo I'm reinvesting into prop firms.
I don't think I'll ever invest much into a personal account with no leverage
I don't see the point in doing so.
Prop firms, private investors, and a hedge fund are the only path I can realistically see.
English

$315,000 in prop firm profits and $70,000 in profits for private investors.
My goal for 2026 was to make $250,000. I thought it would change something.
Now I've achieved it, and it still feels small.
"Perhaps it will be different at $500,000."
It's never different.
What you can do is focus on building instead of focusing on dollar amounts, and that's what I'm trying to do with my Meta Framework and Autonomous Agent tools.
Human nature makes it almost impossible to ever be truly satisfied with what you're doing.
You always want to create more, to expand.
It's the Promethean nature that drives civilization forward.
You reach the top 1%, and you want to be in the top 0.1%. You reach the top 0.1%, and you want to be in the top 0.01%.
