Best quote I've heard all year:
"I don't walk away to teach people a lesson... I walk away because I learned mine."
That hits. Because walking away isn't about revenge. It's not about proving a point. It's about finally understanding your worth. It means you ve outgrown the drama, the disrespect, the need to explain yourself. You don't owe anyone a performance. Sometimes the most powerful move you can make... is choosing peace over proving. That' s not weakness but that's growth.

@Pat_Stedman Or at least building something. A table, a business, writing a book. Literally anything. Stagnant time is very different from taking a breather. It can waste away years before you even notice.

Tariffs are the hot topic right now, and while I'd love to pretend I’m an expert, my experience with their direct impact on stock prices over the medium to long term is limited.
What I can do is observe the short-term reaction, do my homework from real economists (not the X pundits), and develop a broader theme. Right now, that theme is a bearish macro outlook clashing with bullish technicals.
Typically, when macro news contradicts technical setups, we either get a sharp move in the opposite direction to shake everyone out before reversing, or we get stuck in a two-way chopfest.
If you follow my morning note, you know I’ve been holding 5975 and 5925 puts since last week, anticipating unfinished technical business below 5900. Some expired last Friday, and some roll into this Friday.
Last week I took a hit, this week is holding up so far. The market is caught in a crosswind between macro and technicals, and in these situations, we usually get a ripper or a chopfest—not this grindy, choppy rally we’ve been seeing.
My approach? Stay short but small, and avoid overtrading a tape that lacks clarity. It hasn’t been particularly profitable until the tariff news hit, but my main goal is survival—staying small enough to last until things clear up. Of course, doing nothing is also an option, but I feel strongly about revisiting the mid-to-low 5900s, so I’m staying in puts for now.
How should day traders approach a market like today? Keep it light and tight. Bold predictions have no place here—you can trade in both directions. Whether we fully recover or drop 3%, it’s anyone’s guess. If someone tells you otherwise with certainty, they’re probably chasing social media clout, not managing a real trading account.
I’ll remain in puts into Friday unless we see true capitulation. To me, that would mean ES putting in a V-shaped low and reclaiming 6000. That level is roughly halfway back for the year, and with yesterday being Groundhog Day, I have to consider the risk of déjà vu—a quick recovery off these lows.

Think you have it all figured out? That's exactly when things start to crumble. People see this idea of getting comfortable to mean that you're taking your foot off the gas. But it actually has nothing to do with output. It all starts and ends with condescension
I'm better than everyone. Congratulations, now you can't ever ask anyone for help. I've escaped the matrix. Nice, you just attached yourself to an arbitrary concept and now have to mentally analyze your every move to determine whether you're allowed to make it or not
Life can hit you like a train so fucking fast. Never doubt that your entire identity could be stripped away from you in a flash. Save yourself the future trouble. Find peace and strength in not knowing what the hell you're doing. You're a mortal being trying their best, just like everyone else. God's role is not meant to be played

AUG ‘24 @SMBCAPITAL TAKEAWAYS
1. Yes, I’m not afraid to call a spade a spade. This month was the first month in a while where I was disappointed by the performance of some of the traders.
Too many traders were overly cautious on the morning of August 5th. Too many were hoping and expecting further (!!!) flushout and not aggressive enough buying the gap.
IMO, this was a fundamental error given the major capitulation occurred overnight and premarket. Stocks were gapping down way too far to not get aggressive! AAPL -10%, semis down an epic ton.
Many were upset by their own performance. What do we do? We objectively assess where our thinking failed us, we learn, and we move on. To help the traders refine their thinking I’m doing a review call w them on Thursday.
It’s so important to voice your fears and your thoughts and put data behind them. What was the EV at each decision point? Did we misread it? How do we prevent that future error?
2. It came up w a few traders, how external pressures led to underperformance. This has also been a major theme for my good mate @austinmitchyblu.
Trading is an incredibly hard profession. Like any performance sport, our psychology matters. You need to do whatever possible to remove as many of those external pressures as possible.
This means ALWAYS living way below your means. This means ALWAYS giving yourself the longest runway to perform. This means NOT giving in to your friends or parents or partner always asking you how your month is going or how you traded.
That also means that on big days, we need to be in a state of flow and zen. Breathwork, meditation, presence, and routine all help on these days.
On the big days I try not to change my routine one bit so that my body and mind know it’s a normal day and to stay focused calm.
How does one build this habit? We build it on the easier slower days. We build it by stashing acorns in the bank account. We build it by asking those around us to focus on process rather than performance!!
3. One of the heuristics I touch on a ton is that our best trades always go right in our favor. One of my favorite SMB traders underperformed. He did fine enough on the big opps. But he fought too much in the lesser opps.
What did he learn when he crunched the data? 100% of his top 10 trades that month went right in his favor! Despite what it seems, that isn’t a useless retrospective tell!
If you find yourself struggling and frustrated in a trade or that a trade ISNT working, almost by definition that means it probably isn’t going to be one of the best trades. It doesn’t mean the idea is wrong, just that in that specific moment it isn’t working like it should.
As we gain experience, we build awareness and consciousness in the moment. We become more able to notice these tells in realtime AND adapt to them!
4. My message to anyone that might have underperformed:
Embrace the hurt! Use it as fuel. Learn from your mistakes.
THEN MOVE THE FUCK ON!
The second you’ve learned all there is to learn for the tuition you paid, it’s time to look forward and execute.
Often traders, even me, focus too much on the perfect performance. We almost never achieve perfect. I had my best trade ever and still kicked myself for not holding better. Instead, learn, focus on where you came from (the gain), and be grateful!
The ups and the downs are what makes this job so special! They suck at times, but here we all are… still identifying and living as traders. Always by choice.
Finally, be cautious! September has been meaningfully slower than past months IMO. If the opps turn off, make sure to cut the risk and involvement way back!
If you made it to the end…
Be well, be grateful friends 🙏🫳🎤

Because I have the platform, I'll say this & likely erase later.
The recent Supreme Court decision isn't a win for any citizen, it's a win for the government.
The petty infighting that both parties benefit from, has served as effective distractors. As your government takes power for itself, you become more and more of a serf. The government has less & less accountability. Rules they don't have to follow, and ways they can impose upon you. From your health to quality of life.
Other citizens aren't your enemy....uniting with them is your greatest hope. So what if they are different from you? Deep down, people all want the same things. Good health, good quality of life, and to live in peace and the "pursuit of happiness" - whatever that means to you. Uniting with others who are not the same as you are, was your way of holding government accountable...of being a force. To apply pressure for them to actually do things you believe in with *your* money they take - to upgrade infrastructure, conquer big things like space or new health frontiers, provide for seniors, etc. or a million other things.
But instead we'll fight over petty issues, clickbait, and fall for slight of hand. They don't care about your social issues. They don't care about you, period. Not on either side of the aisle.
They care about power and self-enrichment...and our distraction and inability to be united on what really matters has served it up on a platter.
America is built on the foundation of freedom.
Everyone has their "take" and I guess that's mine.
Your government doesn't care about you, and they don't stand for you.
Time for us to stand for each other - that the only place the power is - they know that - and we're giving it away.
If we are united, we get to work for what we all want.
If we are divided, our government doesn't work for us - we work for our government.
Most anger and frustration is valid but misdirected...it is not your neighbor's fault, but a government that has long been left unaccountable and benefits from you attacking the wrong target.
Stand with each other. Be unpopular with your "political camp." Don't fall for citizens pitted against each other.
Expect better from your government.
It is not your savior. It is not your king.
Its power should be checked, or you will serve at it...and it will not serve you.
