It's extremely valuable not to be influenced by fashion. In just about everything people do, from choosing problems to work on to buying art, there are unfashionable options that are not only better than the fashionable ones, but cheaper too, because they're unfashionable.

@NullFUD his playstyle in dota would explain his swings in trading

wait ee-sama is a trader? xd is this the same guy that played dota2 with arteezy and stream on twitch? i used to watch him on twitch 10 years ago xd

The way most people are introduced to trading sets them up for a fundamental misunderstanding. Driven by influencers, beginners are handed a toolkit of indicators and told to act on them mechanically (sell when RSI hits 70, buy when this line crosses that one, etc). The problem is that nobody explains what these tools are actually trying to measure, or why. You end up accumulating a kind of intellectual debt: applying instruments you don't understand to problems you have never defined. What's missing is the scientific rigor that serious trading actually demands. A sound approach starts with an idea, a hypothesis about how or why price behaves the way it does. From there, you ask "how could I prove this wrong?" and then doing exactly that, as ruthlessly as possible. Most ideas will collapse at the first honest test, and that's fine. Most of your ideas will turn out to be dogshit. That's just the way it is. The chasm between these two stances is enormous, and it rarely gets addressed. Trading is a discipline of structured skepticism, and yet what is taught, for the most part, is pattern mimicry.

@TraderMercury I can count the number of trades I took in the last 6 months with my fingers, probably saved me a lot of money

I think everyone has the innate ability to determine when the market environment is favorable vs. unfavorable, but few have the discipline to reduce trade frequency, adjust position-size accordingly, and be more aggressive with profit-taking that's the difference.

When you realise it isn’t about fundamentals or technicals, but just front-running the flows (of liquidity), the game gets a lot simpler.

For me the best way to think about this: snorkel, don’t scuba. Diving too deep is a bit dangerous, and people get lost down there. Take glances at what’s beneath (lots of pretty fish!) from near the surface, and then get back to work. Wherever your motivation comes from (revenge, fear, competition, love of the game, learning, impact) is fine - harness it and get moving. I personally do some journaling (appreciations, write out goals, figure out what I want to get done tomorrow, etc) but then stop procrastinating and get after it.

@TylerDurden we’ll be okay

I’m currently in Viet Nam and rumours on the street is they have almost run out of fuel. 40% increase in price overnight. They asked China to lend them jet fuel and they’ve said no.

I'm going to make some obvious points. (1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war. (2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East. (3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked. (4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy. (5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately. (6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty. That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power + water + air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area. (7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.

@Tradermayne washed

We finally broke the seal on stream with a few big wins last Friday. This was the one that we finished the stream on. I'm down unfathomable amounts on this game but that doesn't matter, in this moment all that matters is I'm up right now.

@aakashgupta cock sucker

Emotional suppression costs you about 30% of your working memory. Measured on fMRI. The anterior cingulate cortex processes emotional pain and cognitive control through overlapping circuits. When you shove emotions down instead of processing them, your prefrontal cortex burns glucose on inhibition. That’s glucose not available for decision-making, planning, or execution. The brain doesn’t have separate budgets for “feelings” and “performance.” It’s one pool. The military figured this out the hard way. After decades of “push through it” culture, SOCOM funded research into emotional regulation for tier-one operators. The finding: operators who named and processed emotions before missions had faster reaction times and better decision-making under fire than operators who suppressed. The Special Forces pipeline now includes psychological flexibility training. The historical record confirms it. Stoicism, the philosophy most often cited to justify “stop talking about feelings,” literally requires examining your emotions in writing every single day. Marcus Aurelius wrote the Meditations as a private journal. Epictetus taught students to dissect their emotional responses in granular detail. The entire Stoic method is structured emotional processing, not emotional avoidance. What actually kills performance is rumination, looping on the same thought without resolution. The fix for rumination is more processing, not less. Cognitive behavioral therapy, the most evidence-backed intervention, works by teaching people to articulate and examine feelings with precision. The highest performers process fast and move. They don’t skip the processing step.
