Just finished my morning ride and yoga and I’m going to use Mikes tweet to elaborate on not only his quote and topic but something I have found very dear to me. It’s something I do real time without even realizing it anymore. It’s second nature and it brings me happiness

For every person in trading happiness and greatness are two completely different things or could even be the same thing

One traders happiness could be executing with precision even if a red day and still walk away happy while others could be happy with “just being green.”

On this, greatness is different to every trader

To some it could be executing with precision or, like me, it could be that you find greatness and happiness in being able to look into your coach’s eyes or accountability parents eyes and say....

I did what was required of, when it was required, where and how it was required
I have no regrets. I executed my edge as seamlessly and flawlessly as I could

This is stress free trading. This is something I thank @FuturesTrader71 for. “We have no outcome on the market.”

If you’ve made it this far. Good. Now the “good parts”.

Something I have found myself doing over the ages as time goes on is “auto adjusting” my entry sizes, stops, and profits

Nobody ever taught me this. There are no oblivious statistical calculations or ratios for me...

As a purely discretionary trader I find happiness in:
Being able to identify MY market. If you can identify YOUR market of choice (narrative, character, volatility, ranges, middle, boundaries, rotation) and stay in tune with it then you will find your happiness.

While this may not be what @MikeBellafiore was talking about or the person that said it meant, that’s how I find my happiness. My happiness in trading comes from being able to click a button based on all of the above and I am at peace, win or lose. No matter the outcome..

My greatness? Well that comes from the happiness don’t you see?

I’ve learned so much from trading..

Patience. Be calm. Be in the now. Stop worrying about the future. Identify and recognize the past: learn from it. Never EVER act on emotion..

These lessons, that’s greatness
9/n
Once you’ve been through those stages and identified you’re maturing as a trader .... don’t worry ... it doesn’t stop there. It only gets better and better as you go

I hope this helps someone, anyone, just one person out there

Thanks @MikeBellafiore 👊🏾

The thing that I do consistently, without realizing, as mentioned in the first of these 10 posts (wow) is this:

Be like Bruce Lee

Identify what’s going on in your market and stop trying to force your square to fit into its circle

ADJUST. ACCORDINGLY.

I shared this on my FB page and asked, can ya really blame him?

I was half kidding. I also assumed someone would think of what I did pretty quickly and waiting for the comment to mention what I assumed was obvious.

The timing. I was sure someone else had thought of it.


But no one did. 20+ comments in people discussed the morality or bad sense or libertarian perspectives. Someone even said I’m thinking about doing that. No one said what I thought was obvious. Have you thought of it? Is it obvious to you?

Here’s a clue...recognize it?


How about this?

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.
