@SheTradesIct Thats not Mark Douglas.....

Best advice for an unprofitable trader -Mark Douglas

@RayPeatHeadShop You know people that are very lean have these issue's too? find them on tests, remove said issues, and fix their health, right?

A Neurotic Individual: “I have allergies/mold sensitivity, I go to bed fine and wake up inflamed, sinuses blocked, ears blocked, sneezing and sniffling. The problem must be in my bedroom. I’ve spent thousands on health consults, air purifiers, mold testing, HVAC servicing etc.”—

@exRhenum "Goats are lean animals, and thus their milk keeps you skinnier." - how does this work?

If you like drinking milk but you hate being bloated and feeling heavy, consider switching to goat milk. Goats are lean animals, and thus their milk keeps you skinnier. Always opt for raw if possible. Goats (usually) receive fewer vaccines than cows also, which is a bonus.

@MetabolicMikeM @celestialbe1ng You think people always had access to an abundance of salt?

@celestialbe1ng I think most people underestimate how much salt we need. Especially if working out a lot etc

You need to be eating more salt. Salt everything to taste, then add more. Salt in your coffee, in your OJ, upon waking and at bed time. Saltmaxxing to mog cortisol spikes every hour of every day Salt, sugar, calcium = the most stress unspiking substances in the universe

@__mentaledge Happens man. I don’t have to tell you to keep your head up 😝

You win some, you lose some.

@SSJTRADES Seems to always depend. I get better statistical setups on the HTF framework on ES but cleaner execution fills on m1 on NQ. Depends on the approach I guess

I strictly trade $NQ Try and convince me to trade $ES

I was invited to the New York Stock Exchange yesterday for a conference and believe it or not I met an ICT trader who manages over 19 million dollars for his own hedge fund he started I thought he was trolling about ICT because I wouldn’t expect someone to have said that at the New York Stock Exchange but man I was wrong Talked to him for about 30 minutes and he basically told me he trades HTF FVG reactions and rejection blocks The methodology ICT teaches is still relatively new and I think in 5-10 years this won’t be surprising anymore Once the new generation of traders starts filling in these high end financial jobs including at the exchange I think liquidity sweeps and these other concepts will start to filter in little by little Amazing to see!

@VanceE Probably wanna prioritise the lining before trying to nuke any baddies

The whole timeline is deep diving the gut and I'm pretty sure it's because everyone is struggling one way or another. This is why and what you can do. \/\/\/ SIBO/SIFO under diagnosed, barriers destroyed from glyphosate, antibiotic use during childhood and in livestock, heavy metals inhibiting immune function and causing chronic inflammation, methylation inhibited via toxin load, bile is shot, motility is slowed, and then you can get into parasitic infections and more. Preface if you're reactive you need to calm histamine before implementing anything. First would establish basic motility and bile function. - Taurine - B1 - Bitters - Magnesium Second would be to bind endotoxins/metals - Modified Citrus Pectin - Chlorella - Charcoal sparingly (stop if it causes motility issues) Third is knock down some of the opportunistic bacteria - Berberine - Oregano Oil - Black Seed Oil Optional is biofilm busting if needed - NAC - Nattokinase/Serrapeptase Fourth is rebuilding microbiome - L Reuteri - S Boulardii - Spore Based Probiotics Fifth is healing the gut - Zinc Carnosine - Glutamine - Collagen/Gelatin After this you can look into deeper cleanses if needed but important not to skip steps if very very sick. Taking things like Glutamine too early or probiotics will throw gas on the fire. This is shooting from the hip but a great start.

@GutFirstHealth gotcha, that makes sense 👌

@TraderMick_ I always think its best to do before antimicrobials so your bodies Antimicrobial peptides can work with the antimicrobiald as well as having less die off

Harvard found that gluten makes every human gut more permeable. Celiac or not. So does exercise... 55% of professional athletes show increased intestinal permeability and elevated zonulin compared to 0% in non-athletes, Nobody's telling athletes to stop training. Your gut opens and closes constantly, that's how you absorb nutrients. Gluten triggers a transient increase in permeability. So does stress, so does spicy food, so does intense exercise. The post I quoted argues this builds chronic inflammation over time even in healthy people. It doesn't. That's not how inflammation works, Your immune system resolves transient inflammatory signals thousands of times a day. It activates, handles it, shuts off. Done, Inflammation only becomes chronic when the systems that resolve it are broken. When your mucus lining is too thin to buffer the exposure, When your sIgA is too depleted to neutralise what gets through, When your microbiome can't produce the butyrate that maintains barrier integrity, That's when a slice of bread gives you brain fog for two days. Not because gluten is poison. Because your gut can't close the door behind it and clean up afterwards. Two people eat the same bread. One recovers in minutes. The other is inflamed for 48 hours. Same gluten, same zonulin, completely different mucus thickness, sIgA levels, and microbial composition underneath. And here's what matters for you specifically, Going gluten free doesn't fix any of those systems. It removes one trigger while you're still reacting to exercise, stress, and half the foods on your growing sensitivity list. The vulnerability stays wide open. Zinc L-Carnosine repairs the lining and supports tight junction recovery. NAG rebuilds the mucus. Butyrate fuels the cells that maintain barrier integrity. S. Boulardii increases sIgA production directly. Fix the gut and gluten becomes what it should be. A transient signal your body handles without you ever noticing. If you want to figure out whether your barrier is the bottleneck: gutfix.ai/quiz

@Shar_ique Gotta pump that data sample up

Last six months of backtested data on GC, Edge is real on 2R.

@_9th_Life_ Why would you roll the dice instead of just being a human and doing normal human things to stabilise your weight? You weren’t even that fat

@TraderMick_ It has negative side effects lol

Reta is pretty fucking amazing tbh

@VanceE 3-4 egg yolks before I go on the razz has been my strongest lever for this. Pump up those depleted B-vits and Choline 👌🏻

I have found probiotics to be more helpful with a hangover than anything else. Notable mentions would be l theanine and methylene blue.

@TempoICT @Jbfuturesz 13 trade sample size….. Lambo incoming

@Jbfuturesz I also have a 177 trade sample is that good enough for you

One of my students backtested my model 14 wins 3 losses 82.35% win rate Over a 1:2.5 average RR Insanely profitable

@TempoICT @Jbfuturesz Actually no 177 is not enough dude 😭

@VanceE Sheep is actually by favourite tasting cheese too. Nice sharpness to it

Sheep’s milk cheese. Higher in butyrate producing potential, calcium, CLA, magnesium, zinc, and lower A1 so easier to digest.

@VanceE @SPeribsen what do you reckon?

@SSavson If you grate a clove or 2 and let it sit for 10 mins you can max out the allicin, submerge in glass of water for 10 mins, add crushed HCL, let it react, then down it..... Gonna try this :P

@SSavson Huh.... I had no idea It had anything to do with allicin. At first I thought you were making a joke with the name until I googled it 😅 im interested

If you chew raw garlic clove with thiamine hcl it probably forms some Allithiamine
