I absolutely love😍 this - so applicable to trading: "The harsh reality is this: 🔥Australia ⚽️arrived believing they could win. 🔥Turkey ⚽️ arrived believing they should win. One mindset creates history. The other creates headlines like this.”
Roy Keane on Turkey losing 2-0 to Australia national soccer team in their World Cup opener: 🗣️ “I don't want to hear excuses. Before the match, everyone was talking about Turkey as if the three points were already in the bag. Well, football doesn't care about predictions. Australia looked like a team playing for their lives. Turkey looked like a team waiting for something to happen. That's the difference. One side competed, the other side expected. What annoys me most is the attitude. You can forgive mistakes. You can forgive missed chances. But you cannot forgive a lack of urgency at a World Cup. Australia won the physical battle, the mental battle, and in key moments they won the football battle too. That's embarrassing if you're Turkey because they were supposed to be the team making the statement tonight. Some players will look at the tactics, some will blame luck, and some will point fingers elsewhere. Nonsense. Start by looking in the mirror. World Cups are not won by talent alone. The harsh reality is this: Australia arrived believing they could win. Turkey arrived believing they should win. One mindset creates history. The other creates headlines like this.”

Nowadays the market spikes more on a random Trump tweet than on NFP numbers 🤣
“I think overall this is a strong number, but you’re not seeing the market really spike because I do think that inflation component is that really important driver in today’s environment,” USB Global Wealth Management’s Leslie Falconio says on May’s jobs report.

I might trade it with a 0.000001 position on @PepperstoneFX so I can say I traded the SpaceX IPO 🙃
SpaceX IPO -- are you going for it?

Donkey 🫏and Tiger 🐅were arguing: "The grass is blue," said 🫏. "No way! What's wrong with you? The grass is green," replied 🐯 🫏&🐅 kept arguing, so they decided to ask lion for his opinion🦁 🫏asked "🦁, isn't it true that the grass is blue?" "Yes," 🦁agreed. 🫏 smiled triumphantly at 🐅and trotted away with his head and tail held high in victory. Confused, 🐯 asked, "But.. but.. come on🦁 you know the grass is green. Why did you agree with 🫏?" 🦁replied: "Because unlike you, I don't waste my time & energy arguing with a 🫏 nor with a 🐅." 😁

One of my traders sent me over the weekend his Bitcoin short thesis for June based on the weekly and monthly charts. This morning, I congratulated him on what would have been an epic short trade. 🏆💰💰💰💰 But he replied: "I took it... but closed it almost immediately."😭 Nooooo... 😱 Why? 🤷‍♀️ Because a well-known crypto finfluencer on X posted that Bitcoin is a buy, so he started to doubt himself. This guy is some sort of crypto guru after all.. Now of course he is furious with himself and barely got any sleep all night. 🤦‍♂️ The painful part isn't missing the trade. The painful part is knowing he abandoned his own analysis to follow someone else's conviction. ❌ He abandoned his own judgment. ❌ He tried to avoid the discomfort of being wrong. ❌ He outsourced responsibility for the trade. And that's the trap. When you follow someone else's opinion, you also hand over ownership of the outcome. That's why I personally stay away from social media when I'm in a trade. Trading is hard enough without letting other's opinions mess with your mindset and interfere with your decision-making. Even if a trade ends up in a loss, it's okay! It's an invitation to improve, to grow, that's all!! Take responsibility for your trading, for your life and: 🛡️Protect your mindset at all costs. 🙉 🛡️Follow your process. 🛡️Be diligent in your preparation. 🛡️Evaluate your analysis. Trust that you got what it takes because you make it so! ❌100s of 1000s of followers doesn't mean that the finfluencers are almighty! ❌

As @bookmap_pro explains - this is one of the biggest mistakes I also see struggling traders make 👇 They act on individual candles or indicators while completely ignoring context. But context is what gives meaning to your edge!📈🎯
Replying to @bookmap_pro
That matters because reading Volume Bars in isolation can lead to bad calls. A spike in volume might look meaningful on its own, but without context, you’re missing what’s really happening in the market.

Zuger See 🇨🇭 @jedimarkus77 😁 Zug = Crypto Capital of the World 🤑
Trading can be highly stressful. That’s why taking care of your nervous system is not optional… it’s part of high performance! If your mind is overloaded, or constantly overstimulated - your decision-making becomes more emotional - Clarity disappears - Focus fades - Discipline weakens and you become more reactive! There are many tools traders use to reset their state: • Box breathing 📥📤(not really my thing 😅) • Ice baths🧊🧊🧊🧊🧊 (LOVE them) • Pulsetto - a device I recently discovered to stimulate the vagus nerve and I find phenomenal. But nothing beats spending a day in nature with good friends! Sailing on the Zugersee 🇨🇭. Good company. Good food . Good wine.🍾 It's truly one of the best thing you can do for your trading performance… to sometimes step away from the charts, turn off your phones (except for taking photos 😃) and enjoy the company of interesting people, soak in the sunshine and completely chill out with @usxau

There is a whole other world out there 😲
Ex-WorldQuant Head of Data Strategy Matt Ober on why quants don't care about the stock market, & why prediction markets become a new asset class. Matt Ober (Ex-Chief Data Scientist @ Third Point | Ex-Head of Data Strategy @ WorldQuant | Now GP @ Social Leverage) "Nobody actually really cared about the stock market. I bet if you asked people there when Nvidia was reporting, nobody had a clue."

Highlights: (00:00) Intro (01:18) The WorldQuant thesis - more data, more money (02:00) Building the alt-data stack (03:00) Revere - the dataset only quants understood (04:50) A finance major among PhDs (09:40) Trading datasets like stocks (10:30) Why quants don't watch the market (12:30) WorldQuant Ventures is born (16:30) Factory vs. boardroom (18:30) Data's wild west at Third Point (23:15) Tracking private jets to front-run M&A (24:20) Igor vs. Dan & the power of network (32:10) The degenerate economy (36:25) Patience & outworking everyone (38:55) Alpha vs. beta, markets & careers (46:10) Somebody's gotta sell (51:20) Prediction markets, the new asset class (53:30) The DoorDash earnings call (56:35) Going mainstream (01:03:10) The single source of all edge
