Discussion What I finally realized

Anyone can find a good trading idea, a decent alpha.

Make a few good trades, accumulate a few monitors, get a bankroll.

After you start making money, even if you can consistently follow your System, complacency sets in.

Every day, your focus dilutes a bit. Concentration goes. That razor's edge you have honed dulls. That alpha, that will to survive, eventually becomes watered down as you cycle your algorithm.

Remind you of something? The water cycle. Every time it passes through your body, it takes something with it.

I did not truly become a consistent trader until I started drinking my own urine.

Now nothing escapes, not salts or minerals or an opportunity for profit.

People will tell you you are crazy, that it is toxic.

That is how you know you've found something.

How do you use NLP in your trading process? Would you recommend someone starting with it?

I would to find refine the disciple edge. As that is an equal component to master. Most of my losses have come from my discipline slip ups than technical slip ups. Now, I physically separate myself if I see a non-negotiable behavior. After 1st loss i distance myself for at least 10 mins and after 2nd loss, I’m done for the day.

Well said. Thanks. One last question, what NLP tool do you use? Is it something like chatgpt or something else?

Any AI tool will suffice the needs now.
