day's where I feel most productive and thus the best days:
> focused work 6/7am to noon/2pm
> gym
> outdoor activities (beach, walk, run, etc)
> chill end of day
best days when those all match.
feeling momentum towards meaningful goals on a daily basis.

when I give out "advice" to new traders I always say don't trade, as the first one.
but if they insist on it, I always say keep sensible risk , and always play it safe.
the thing is that's not how I've done it, and always feels a bit hypocritical to say it.
but I can't say to do the same things I did as a lot of it was luck and being at the right place at the right time.
but growing a 4/5 figure account ain't going to happen running vols of 20% like the professionals do.
the new trader must know his edge, but even more importantly, be willing to max extract the capacity of that edge, sometimes

my definition of wealth is a perpetually free calendar.
not to do anything, but to do anything you want.
could care less about having X arbitrary net worth.
what for? so I can brag a number on a screen?
show me an empty calendar, and that is rich to me.

went to claim the sonic airdrop, after 7 months of farming it.
got $60 claimaible now and ~$300 locked lol.
then I find out that one of the projects I was farming in the sonic ecosystem got "exploited" (sure buddy), months ago, and I lost $1k.
the joys of being in crypto.

if you anchor your mood to a PnL on screen, you're just making this game harder than is.
I am here to harvest returns from an effect/mispricing, and the outcome at the end of 1-2 years hopefully covers the bills.
short-term PnL, as fellow risk premium harvestoors, is not ours.

a large % of my net profit this year, came from my willingness to take contrarian positions against people whose opinion I respect a ton.

a lot of my profit the past year came from my willingness to take contrarian positions against people whose opinion I respect a ton.

almost like an archive of old gems.
thanks for the service sir.

much better when they were on the bottom of the app, for better screen usage.

first time in a while that hype and btc are the drag on my portfolio.
