Yes, at certain point learning more things about the market isnt going to help. An there bigger impact can be made in looking into non trading related things. Making sure your financially stable outside of trading, creating mechanical processes to prevent going on tilt. Organizing yourself. Depends in the person but many can make lifestyle or psychological changes that would make the bigger difference

@CoolTradeTools That idea stays with a lot of traders. Learning helps, but eventually execution has to catch up.

Umar Ashraf noticed a pattern in unprofitable traders. Every time they had a bad week they went shopping. Not for clothes. For information. New indicators. New strategies. New YouTube videos at midnight trying to figure out what they missed. He did the same thing early in his career. Loss after loss — he kept adding more to his system. More confluences. More filters. More rules. Convinced himself that somewhere out there was a piece of knowledge that would finally make everything click. But one day he stopped and asked himself honestly: *What am I actually missing?* And the answer was nothing. The losses weren't happening because he lacked knowledge. They were happening because some days the market simply cannot be read. No strategy catches it. No indicator predicts it. Even the best traders in the world sit there and think *I have no idea what this is doing.* Umar still has those days. But now when it happens he doesn't open more charts. He doesn't start researching. He just accepts it and walks away. Because chasing answers on a random day doesn't make you smarter. It just makes you more confused. Unprofitable traders think more information will fix their results. Profitable traders know that sometimes there is nothing to fix.

@ChartGuys Lol I was trading offshore brokers Capital Markets elite getting killed on commissions 😂

It was 3 years before I was free of the $25k hurdle, but every time I went into time out from good faith violations (at least 4 times) I was forced to slow down, get picky and I could only trade with settled cash which back then took 3 days.

I have mixed feelings about PDT removal. It was definitely annoying as I fluttered back and forth over the $25k mark but when I was put in timeout it forced me to be patient and also forced me to have a couple years of experience + capital cushion before trying different trading styles after starting with $3k. I'm not sure I would be here without it. I have a vivid memory of listening to a voicemail from fidelity about my good faith violations 14 years ago 😆

@TSDR_Trading Its gonna be a beautiful day bro! Have some fun. Somehow I got roped into throwing a 50 person 7 year old birthday party lol. But we're gonna be grilling and chilling!!

Yeah, I'm glad its going I never saw the benefit. More capital does equate to more skill. There are many cases where someone who meets the threshold because they made money in another way comes to trading and can do financial harm to themselves. It happened to my own dad unfortunately. The rule was pretty arbitrary IMO and overall a net negative by quite a bit

Show me the thing you’ve built with AI you’re most proud of. Reply with a working product URL and what model / agent you primarily used.

Its crazy sometimes how the markets can be uncorrelated to what one might expect or maybe its lagging. This is great reminder though why for trading specifically not investing. Technicals > Fundamentals

Weekends are the best times to put on extra work and deep dive the best trading set ups the market offered. I built a tool here that makes that process fun and easy. An even better a AI built into your journal to help you analyze things you might have missed on your own! cooltradingtools.io

@BearOnWindows95 🤣😂

None because you aren't a fucking retard and have half a brain. Christ sake. If you can only cut your dick off with 5 things what would they be and why?

Appreciate the post. Another big thing that I think is a tough one to swallow is having realistic expectations. It held me back many times in trading even when I developed the skill expectations or not meeting them because they were unrealistic from the start caused me to stray from a quality strategy more times then I care to admit

The 1 problem is though its a Bull Market easier to ride the trend. Shorting based on fundamental's can be a painful game also one of thee hardest. There are plenty of bad companies that go up for a long time with bad fundamentals or bad businesses altogether. Its not for inexperienced traders and really is taking the route of most resistance in markets ha

The internet spreads information much faster than pre-internet so people figure out faster that luxury products are pretty much all a scam with 95% of the cost spend on manipulative marketing and store fronts Their status appeal is gone too as you see low status people buy most luxury products now So luxury products become an anti-signal
