Honestly, this was a feel trade more than anything. We saw Vance leave Pakistan with nothing, Trump tweeting about blocking the Strait, that felt like max bad news that couldn't last.
We're in a headline market. There was always going to be a headline to swing things back. The 20-year moratorium proposal was it. It just doesn’t feel like this agreement will last, just like the last ceasefire announcement. So there is probably going to be another headline that moves price against me, that’s why I’m closing now.
Didn't get the full pump I was looking for, but the read was right for the most part. That's enough for me.
11x was too aggressive. Had me wanting to close earlier than I should've. Next time, lower leverage.
I took this trade 10 hours ago, not bad.

Not gonna pretend like I have some crazy 4D chess thesis. I just find some smart people on Twitter, watch the news, and try to muster up the confidence to take a trade.
Vance left Pakistan with no deal. Trump just announced a full US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
Nobody sustains a closed Hormuz forever. This felt like max bad news. Went long. Will update.

@tulipking Every "buy the dip" expert has the same résumé.
They've been right in the only market that never went to zero.

@thiccyth0t The PhD quant isn't your competition anymore.
The quant with the Bloomberg terminal lost to the guy who saw the tweet first.
Citadel should hire a brain-rotted 20-year-old and see what happens.

@notthreadguy This seems like the opposite of long degeneracy. Why do you think this changes?

the cold hard blunt truth about winners is they simply win. it doesn’t matter about adversity, doubters or things not going their way. it’s an adverse world. winners find a way. at the end of the day anyone can make excuses. anyone can say i would have that or they should have this. anyone can blame variables. but when its all said and done theres either a W or an L in the win column. and thats ultimately what separates us. you from me. me and you. its the W. it’s not always the prettiest. it’s not always the smoothest. i don’t always look the best. but one thing you will always be able to say when you mention the name Threadguy is that there was a fucking W next to it. i’ve been paying extra attention recently since the market flipped bearish. observing the behavior of market participants. and my number one takeaway. frankly my only takeaway. is some of you don’t have what it takes to finish the job. everyone gets punched in the mouth. everyone gets hit in the face. that’s a given. but can you get the fuck back up and finish the job. clearly most of you can’t. it’s obvious in the whining and the bitching and the complaining, oh the market this, oh trump this, oh rate cuts that, oh but if powell would have jus-. SHUT THE FUCK UP. you think STANLEY DRUCKENMILLER was CRYING about the Uk pound looking terrible while FIGHTING for his life in the PITS in the 90s? COMPLAINING about a weak currency? NO. he fucking found a way to go not just 100 but 200% short and make THE BEST TRADE IN THE HISTORY OF MARKETS. there’s just a trait man. winners have it. losers don’t. maybe you’re born with it maybe you’re not. but if you have it - congratulations. if you don’t, i pray for you as my counterparty. see you in the orderbooks and the pickup basketball leagues. if given the choice you should really hope it’s pickup. and if it is you should pray to the heavens you’re guarding someone else.
thank you to everyone that came on this journey with me,
peace and love
