“The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself.” Student of the game



The best adjustment you could ever make for your trading is to X out that PnL intraday and stare at your stocks daily charts instead. We had a big discussion today how daily PnL is the trap that only heightens emotions every tick, naturally leading to emotional decision making and therefore trading mistakes. The entire goal of trading is to avoid this behavior at all costs. If a stock goes 30R and you sold it for 10R you have made a grave, year-altering mistake. To get to the 30R trades you will likely have to go up 8R down to 3R before the stock consolidates and sets up for the next leg. Need to see the forest from the trees. The best trading quote that's helped me so much in terms of sticking with trades: "If you buy a train ticket from NY to California, are ya gonna get off in Chicago?!"

How’s everyone handling this market crash today






California, Illinois, NYC, Seattle ... all losing their top taxpaying citizens to zero income tax states like Tennessee, Texas and Florida. Countries like the Netherlands recently tried an unrealized capital gains tax. The wealthy are leaving for lower tax European countries. Bigger and bigger names are moving. Huge companies are moving. And yet the far left states and countries keep doing more of the same. Companies are moving their HQs to Texas, Florida and Tennessee in record numbers. Why does it keep happening? The politicians in those far left states don't seem to care that their policies are actually negative by tax revenue leaving. To the financially illiterate on the left, it is all about equity and fairness. They don't care, they just want billionaires to pay more. If they leave, it doesn't matter.








Reminder to all the swing traders out there: it should be pretty clear this isn’t the kind of market environment that leads to big gains for the portfolio, and that’s fine. In a good year, we might get three solid legs where we make the majority of our gains. Outside of those windows, we do virtually nothing, and that’s what makes swing trading so attractive.
