@ScottPh77711570 @liquiditygoblin 😂😂 being autist is powerful

@liquiditygoblin @arbgambit LMAO the autism advantage strikes again

Risk premia "harvesting" - I love it when rural verbs are used in trading: - farming - harvesting - recollecting

@liquiditygoblin hahaha traders are farmers really

@arbgambit -hedging -gardening leave

Doing useful things in uncompetitive places.

Life is a giant optimization problem. I remember this from the "Efficiency" book. I think about it a lot.

When I was in high school I never imagined math could make you money.

@systematicls Absolutely. Everyone's free to choose their actions, and actions produce excellence.

Single mindedness is a virtue few understand. If you can harness it and be consumed by your endeavor of choice for years, you will be so far ahead of the game well beyond your age. It is astounding how much time people waste on things that don't matter. Excellence is a choice.

Love it. @therobotjames

Does anyone know the easiest risk premia trade I can do right now? not really looking for alpha (would understand if people do not tell it) just something to get my hands on and to start trading

@Innerdevcrypto Then there's the retardmaxxing people of X on the other side.

What a story...what a journey...... - man, 29 years old - during 7 years, made 300M+ in crypto, mainly by being early to many altcoins & memes - loses 200M+, but somehow managed to pull himself together and cash out around 100M which he parked in stables and bitcoin - goes 1 year on an absolute rampage around the world, spending millions on luxury parties, extravagant resorts, unique experiences, all kind of decadent toys. Savage really.....you can imagine. - spends another year on a yacht accompanied by many ¨chocolate-bunnies¨. So i ask him, what are chocolate-bunnies. He says, ¨ebony-women¨. So had to look that up as well, but finally got the idea, apparently he was into that - becomes horribly depressed after these 2 years, nothing is obviously ever enough, and contacts me after someone recommended my account - a very extreme mind, so on my recommendation, goes on a hardcore meditation regime, 8 hours a day, fasting, full health-mode. Incredible really. These kind of extreme people do everything extreme, so clearly ¨going inside¨ had to be extreme as well. I know he would not listen to normal advise so i just told him ¨you cannot do this¨, which his ego obviously could not take, so he went to do it 😉. - slso sold basically all his useless possessions and parked that in stables too. - travels the world another year visiting all kind of retreat-centers - rarely seen someone progress on the inner path so fast, but obviously his strong ego is still a thing. His ¨need¨ to be the best, the be the one, to be special - still, to face such enormous accumulated pain and karma head on is very brave - he is 33 now - we talk regularly, and he is close to actually leaving 2 years, alone, to a retreat-cabin he bought, ready for the ultimate journey these are the stories i love i also love ¨normal¨ people that just turn inside, leave their 9-5 job, but somehow these ultra extreme characters get really hooked on inner work once they know the benefits and dive in hard and deep. Helps that he is very smart of course, no kids, plenty of free time he still has 100M+ parked in stables and bitcoin. Saving it for the day he is ready to do something useful with it. For now on my recommendation he is not touching it, not becoming tempted, just taking out the minimum for his inner journey He has my respect. Many others would have killed themselves, kept being degenerates, or could not have left the money or fame alone for serious inner work. I suspect we are not done hearing from this man, since he is very smart, and also has a very large crypto-X account which was active for some years, but not anymore, but since i always keep confidence, we just leave it at that posted some of this with his permission for inspiration no matter if your are super poor, or super rich, there is only one serious game in town in the end: inner development and turning inside, on your own, to confront your worst fears and pains

@larpcapitalwc @therobotjames You guys are great role models in trading

@arbgambit @therobotjames Thanks heaps man I have learn heaps from robot James too

I've loved @larpcapitalwc substack and I'm loving @therobotjames 's website. I learn a great deal from them.

I decided to start a trading business on May 1st 2026, in other words, yesterday. Research + execution, the 2 steps. In fact, this is just a mental trick for me to take trading seriously. Also, to view it in a scientific way. I will start by trying easy cash and carry trades.

Learning about options from Sinclair.

Polymarket trading seems interesting.

Very precise wording @chatwithtraders

Great expression from episode 10 of podcast Chat With Traders: learning by becoming a product of your environment.

@InsilicoTrading @larpcapitalwc Really found useful the identify + extract framework. Execution makes the trade viable. That’s professionalism.

Insilico Terminal Podcast Episode 29 - @larpcapitalwc 00:00 Intro, WC’s background, why he views trading as a business not speculation 04:07 First major arbitrage breakthrough, Binance AUD tether trade and going full-time 08:30 Why most people approach markets wrong, repeatable arbitrage vs lucky directional bets 19:40 The “exploiter mindset”, how to think about protocols, oracles and metagame risk 30:05 Building a trader network, why one phone call can unlock the next unusual trade 40:54 Sports betting exploits, getting banned everywhere and finding edge in inefficiency 53:33 Crypto vs TradFi today, where opportunity still exists and why chaos creates edge 01:06:22 Final advice, relationships, martial arts, Education of a Speculator and closing

I don't understand why there's paid services for calculating odds for matched betting when just a regular AI can do the math for you.

You can consider some basic aspects of life as 3 or 4 games you can try to be good at. It looks fun with this framework. When people say they don’t like doing something, it’s mostly a story they told themselves. All things are fun except for those which produce physical pain.
