14 Signs that You're a good Trader

Good trading takes time to develop.

It is the process of pushing yourself to grow stronger and better mentally.

Here are 14 signs that you've developed into a good trader:

 Sign 01

You balance discursive thoughts and emotions with mindfulness.  Good traders understand how their thoughts and emotions can influence their end results. In an effort to make the best decisions possible, they balance and temper those with moments of mindfulness.
Sign 02

You feel confident in your ability to adapt to change. Good traders know that although change is uncomfortable, it is inherent to the markets more so to life. They focus on getting better at adapting to change, rather than resisting it.
Sign 03

You learn from your mistakes. Good traders take responsibility for their every action in the markets. They learn from them.
Sign 04 (1/2)

You balance self-acceptance with self-improvement. Good traders accept themselves for who they are while simultaneously recognizing their need for personal development.
Sign 04 (2/2)

While they may admire figures like Paul Tudor Jones or Jesse Livermore, they do not try to emulate these people in their trading style. In that sense, they understand the necessity to adopt an approach that fits their unique personality.
Sign 05

You genuinely celebrate other people's success. Good traders don’t compare their results with others. They don’t feel as though other people’s success somehow diminishes their own achievements.
Sign 06

You are comfortable trading according to your rules. Good traders make decisions with relative ease because they understand their rules and what they are trading and looking for in the markets. They do not let other people’s opinions affect their judgement.
Sign 07 (1/2)

You focus on sharpening your skills, rather than showing them off. While some people seek validation or recognition from other traders on Social Media's (especially twitter) for the trades they take, good traders are less concerned about gaining recognition.
Sign 07 (2/2)

Instead, they’re intrinsically motivated to become better.
Sign 08

You view trading losses as opportunities for growth. Good traders don't waste time feeling sorry for themselves while giving away their power to the markets. While losses cause some people to grow bitter, they make good traders grow better.
Sign 09

Your self-worth depends on who you are, not what you achieve. Good traders feel good about themselves, whether they win or lose.
Sign 10

You practice delayed gratification.
Good traders view their trading goals as a marathon, not a sprint. They’re willing to tolerate short-term pain when it can provide long-term gain.
Sign 11

You bounce back from failure. Good traders don’t view failure as the end of the road. Instead, they use potential failures as opportunities to gain knowledge that will increase their chances of success in the future.
Sign 12

You express gratitude. Rather than exclaim they need more, good traders take whatever the markets are offering them in the moment however small the gains are. If they followed their plan to the letter, then what should or could have been doesn't matter!
Sign 13

You focus on what you can control. Good traders are effective in the markets for the mere reason that they devote their resources to that which they can control – and this does not include controlling the markets but their behaviour.
Sign 14

You're open to learning. Learning is always an ongoing quest for good traders.

BANASHANKARI AMMA, NEAR BADAMI (KAR)
#bharatmandir #navratri2021

Originally built by Chalukyas in 7th century. Devi Banashankari was their family deity. This image of Banashankari Amma was installed by Jagadekamalla I in 630 AD.

Later renovations were done by Marathas.


Once, a demon Durgamasur was troubling the people of this area. Answering the prayers of Devas, Ma Parvati emerged from the yajna fire as Banashankari and killed Durgamasur.
This area has rich forests of coconut, betel nut and other trees.
@GunduHuDuGa


It is said that during a severe famine, Devi provided vegetables and fruits to the people of this area.
Hence, she is also worshipped here as Shakambhari.
In the annual festival called Banashankari jatre, a Rath yatra takes place and Devi moves around the city in the chariot.

1/ Some initial thoughts on personal moats:

Like company moats, your personal moat should be a competitive advantage that is not only durable—it should also compound over time.

Characteristics of a personal moat below:


2/ Like a company moat, you want to build career capital while you sleep.

As Andrew Chen noted:


3/ You don’t want to build a competitive advantage that is fleeting or that will get commoditized

Things that might get commoditized over time (some longer than


4/ Before the arrival of recorded music, what used to be scarce was the actual music itself — required an in-person artist.

After recorded music, the music itself became abundant and what became scarce was curation, distribution, and self space.

5/ Similarly, in careers, what used to be (more) scarce were things like ideas, money, and exclusive relationships.

In the internet economy, what has become scarce are things like specific knowledge, rare & valuable skills, and great reputations.

A brief thread on Jovan Hutton Pulitzer, the crazy con man who is now claiming to have hacked into the Georgia voting machines in Fulton County. 90s kids and tech aficionados might remember Jovan as the inventor of the CueCat, the dumbest gadget of all time.

Also, for anyone who wants to claim that Jovan Hutton Pulitzer (not his given name, but one he changed legally after the CueCat debacle) invented QR Codes: he did not. Like that other right-wing crazy man who claimed to have invented email, Jovan didn’t invent QR Codes.

He did invent the CueCat, a product that somehow raised $185 million dollars for a tethered barcode scanner for magazines and newspapers, so you could get ads from your ads. As I said, the dumbest product of all time. Good backup barcode scanners after they were hacked, however

Oh, that’s another thing. When CueCat was a thing, its systems were hacked. I guess that’s what makes Jovan a security expert. His bankrupt company from 20 years ago was hacked and widely mocked. He’s a genius.

In recent years, Jovan pivoted to being a treasure hunter who was featured on and widely mocked on Curse of Oak Island, because the man is insane.

Important paper from Google on large batch optimization. They do impressively careful experiments measuring # iterations needed to achieve target validation error at various batch sizes. The main "surprise" is the lack of surprises. [thread]

https://t.co/7QIx5CFdfJ


The paper is a good example of lots of elements of good experimental design. They validate their metric by showing lots of variants give consistent results. They tune hyperparamters separately for each condition, check that optimum isn't at the endpoints, and measure sensitivity.

They have separate experiments where the hold fixed # iterations and # epochs, which (as they explain) measure very different things. They avoid confounds, such as batch norm's artificial dependence between batch size and regularization strength.

When the experiments are done carefully enough, the results are remarkably consistent between different datasets and architectures. Qualitatively, MNIST behaves just like ImageNet.

Importantly, they don't find any evidence for a "sharp/flat optima" effect whereby better optimization leads to worse final results. They have a good discussion of experimental artifacts/confounds in past papers where such effects were reported.

Unfortunately the "This work includes the identification of viral sequences in bat samples, and has resulted in the isolation of three bat SARS-related coronaviruses that are now used as reagents to test therapeutics and vaccines." were BEFORE the


chimeric infectious clone grants were there.https://t.co/DAArwFkz6v is in 2017, Rs4231.
https://t.co/UgXygDjYbW is in 2016, RsSHC014 and RsWIV16.
https://t.co/krO69CsJ94 is in 2013, RsWIV1. notice that this is before the beginning of the project

starting in 2016. Also remember that they told about only 3 isolates/live viruses. RsSHC014 is a live infectious clone that is just as alive as those other "Isolates".

P.D. somehow is able to use funds that he have yet recieved yet, and send results and sequences from late 2019 back in time into 2015,2013 and 2016!
