Things I know after Trading for 5 years that I wish I knew in my 1st year: 🧵

Collaborated with @niki_poojary

1. Stop trying to focus on theta decay to earn money. Use Price Action to build your capital & get profitable.

2. Quit Averaging trades. It is the worst thing you can do to your account.

3. Instead of averaging, reduce quantities when wrong and increase quantities when right.
4. Spend money on learning from the best. Don't spend too many years being in losses.

5. You can avoid big drawdowns as long as you focus on money management a lot.

6. If you were in losses, focus on how the best traders are earning and try to learn from them.
7. Non-directional trading is not the safest way of trading. Being against the trend can blow up your account.

8. Put some money into learning option selling. Start compounding with that knowledge. Let compounding work its wonders.

9. Focus more on learning. Less on negativity.
10. Focus less on building followers & more on providing maximum value.

11. Rather than showing off cars & vacation spots. Build friendships & relations with traders with a similar mindset to you.

12. Not every day will be a green day. Learn to accept losses and red days.
13. Don't compare your Mtm to others. Some are fake while others have a lot of backup capital from other businesses.

14. Assemble a support system of individuals who appreciate you for who you are and are focused on growth.

15. If you earn> 50 Lakh, trade in a company account.
16. No shame in changing your view of the market. Be loyal to what the trend is telling you, not your old opinion.

17. Practice is the only solution to becoming a skilled trader.

18. Become friends with people who are net profitable.
19. Executing a Trading Strategy with only 1 lot Will do more for your growth than any trading book/tweet ever will.

20. Embrace not being comfortable. If you're comfortable you won't grow.

21. We grew the most after our biggest losses and learned from them.
We have more but we'll stop here. Both @niki_poojary & I are not the best traders but just shared our learnings from the past 4-5 years.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

https://t.co/FBfXhUrH5d


Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.


...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.


Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.

This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".


The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.


Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)


There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.


At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?
