Everyone with a family, a job, hobbies, or simply a life should focus on swing trading. The real edge for most people is building positions around higher timeframes, letting probabilities play out while life continues outside the screen. Swing trading is about time freedom, location freedom, and scalable upside without turning your day into a constant battle with noise. Swing trading is very different from scalping. It demands patience through unrealised PnL, a solid macro perspective, and the ability to hedge positions with intention. Once the skill is developed, positions can compound for months or even years. Management becomes minimal. You take a few calculated entries each week or month, while your focus stays on building businesses, experiences, and life outside the charts. You get paid while you sleep. You operate with clarity instead of noise. Minimum effort. Maximum result. If you replace one job with limited time freedom by another that keeps you glued to the charts, you may gain location freedom and scaling potential, but you still sacrifice the most valuable resource: Time. Without the ability to hold and manage swing positions, trading simply becomes another demanding routine. Build the foundation first. Develop a style that works alongside your life, not against it. Once consistency is achieved in the most effective league of the game, you can still explore higher-frequency execution if you truly enjoy it, but then from a position of strength. A solid swing framework pays you while you live your life, not only while you watch the screen. This is what most people truly want, yet only a small group actually focuses on it. The majority gets pulled into the hardest, most time-consuming part of the game, mistaking constant activity for progress. The real edge is not being everywhere at once. It is knowing where patience pays the most. Master patience. Master positioning. Let the market work for you, not against your lifestyle.

Similar for me on Bitcoin, but out at BE. The 93K was [as always] BCS so it's always a trailing position, and it pumped quite a bit, just not the best scenario possible. Taking previous SH and closing above 0.5 needed an HTF/MTF key level to be found lower before continuation, but since there's nothing it bled into RL. Hopefully we see that optimal key level hit this year. Hopefully, for me. CX would die...

Hitting your kids is in the same category as circumcision, iPads, strict adherence to the CDC vaccine schedule---it is for Ns, goyim, and walmart pajama people. It lowers IQ (Straus, 1995), increases aggression (Gershoff, 2016), is less effective than a timeout, and requires escalation to keep working. The replies to articles like this are filled up with the Dumbest People Who Ever Existed saying "it worked for me" and then genuinely malicious and hateful morons dropping reaction gifs of like daffy duck swinging a belt "EVERY STATE IN AMERICA ALLOWS YOU TO PHYSICALLY CORRECT YOUR CHILD. It's legal. It's fun. Bring it on." -- profile says: Cat Sanctuary Dad. Unyielding steel. Workouts, keto, cat chaos, anime rants. Godzilla, Gundam, Mazinger, Ultraman, classical art, manga. If you hit your kids, you will create permanent emotional distance with the only person/people you could ever be that close to, not to mention sending them down the road of being as much of a lost fuckup loser as you are who will hit their own kids, or wont, but only after spending a decade figuring out why they reflexively apologize all the time.

Fun fact: Baseball spring training exists because a baseball owner thought a hot spring in Arizona had magic powers so he started having his team train near the magic hot spring and then he won the World Series so everyone started training close to the magic water

“Why don’t you just eat fucking ramen everyday? Just eat peanut butter and ramen for 50 years dumbass and invest all your money into the pico top of the gayest most fragile empire in history you dumbass idiot. Just starve and eat shit and dirt everyday for your entire life and then you can spend $30 on lunch when you’re old and about to die it’s simple. Don’t you know your 20’s are for grinding?? You’re supposed to eat shit for the majority of your life that’s why your ancestors built America. So you could eat shit and fucking die moron.”

Here’s a practical exercise that could change your life in an afternoon. Get a piece of paper and draw two columns. Left column: WHERE I CURRENTLY GET DOPAMINE, right column: WHERE I WANT TO GET DOPAMINE. Fill in the left column brutally honestly: phone, social media, news, sugar. alcohol, shopping, gossip, outrage, complaining, pornography … whatever it is, no judgment. Now fill in the right column: what would you like to feel pulled toward? Creative work, exercise, deep conversation, learning, building, cooking, nature, music-making… whatever calls to you. Now look at the two columns. The gap between them is the gap between who you are and who you want to be. And the gap is not a character gap but a wiring gap. Your nervous system is currently wired to seek reward from column A. You want it wired to seek reward from column B. The entire project of personal transformation reduces to this: gradually, patiently, micro-dose by micro-dose, shift the wiring from left to right. You do that by making column B increasingly available, increasingly rewarding, increasingly easy and simultaneously making column A slightly less available, slightly less convenient, slightly more friction-laden. You’re not fighting yourself, you’re migrating yourself from one dopamine landscape to another. It’s like moving a river one sandbag at a time. the river doesn’t know it’s being moved. it just follows the path of least resistance. and you’re quietly, patiently, reshaping what “least resistance” means.

⭕️Market tip: (to study carefully as it can help you to improve your profitability) When you’re trying to understand very HTF accumulation or distribution and price action alone isn’t giving you enough clarity, one of the most useful external "lenses" I look into is what smart money are doing. How to? Through the COT report. The idea behind using it is straightforward: instead of guessing intent from price alone, I look at how different classes of market participants are actually positioned, and from that you infer who is building exposure, who is hedging, and who might be vulnerable. Within the report, the key distinction is between commercials and non-commercials: - Commercials are typically hedgers, so entities with underlying exposure to the asset and their positioning is often driven by inventory management rather than directional conviction. - Non-commercials, on the other hand, are large speculators such as hedge funds, for example. They are the ones that give "the fuel" to the price and because of their size, their behavior can materially influence trends. However, it’s important to understand that they are not “smart money” in a simplistic sense, they tend to perform best in established trends and are often late to accumulation phases. The real value of the COT data emerges when the market is in a prolonged range and directional clarity is low. In these conditions, price can appear stagnant while significant positions are taking place underneath. If, during this kind of extended consolidation, you observe non-commercials steadily increasing their net long exposure, you are effectively seeing capital being committed despite the absence of upward price expansion. This creates a divergence between positioning and price, and that divergence is often where opportunity lies. It can suggest that supply is being absorbed and that larger participants are positioning in anticipation of a future expansion higher. That said, this signal only has meaning when interpreted in context. 1⃣If non-commercials are adding longs from relatively low or neutral positioning levels, it can indicate early accumulation and a potential buildup phase but if they are already heavily long from a historical levels and continue adding, the situation changes entirely. In that case, the trade may already be crowded, and instead of signaling opportunity, it increases the risk of a squeeze in the opposite direction. 2⃣Also, you got to check how PA is moving in correlation with positionment (positions up but price stalling? absorption) 3⃣Take also not there is also a structural limitation you need to account for: the COT report is a delayed, weekly snapshot. It reflects positions as of Tuesday and is released on Friday, which means it is inherently lagging. Because of this, it should never be used as a timing tool but its role is to shape an HTF bias and not to dictate entries as execution still needs to come from price action. When used correctly however, the edge comes from identifying imbalances. The most valuable situations are not simply when one group is buying or selling, but when there is a mismatch between positioning and outcome: when large participants are heavily committed but price is not behaving as expected. A wise man said: "Contracts are anticipatory. News is sequential".

I highly recommend to study this content if you want to understand how to trail your stop loss in an accurate and dynamic manner through the use of FRVP and volume models. This is how I do it.

Why I love Trading and why it is a Fight Yes Money is a reason - as for many things we do in life. Who says money isn't "everything" - why you sell your time for it then? Another topic... For me trading is like fighting. It's like having an opponent that has 1000+ fights and seems unbeatable. The moment I step in the Ring - open the charts and start a session - makes me feel alive. It shows who I am. It's a mirror. There is no hiding, and many are watching. I might get beaten up. Maybe I die. The fear, the greed, the pressure, the pain - everything is on an extreme level. When I was doing Muay Thai I didn't have the best technique. I didn't even train one year before go fighting, but I have heart. When I enter the ring, I decide that there are only 2 outcomes. Either I go knockout - or I win. Nothing inbetween. I never backed down. No stepping back. People in my gym knew me for always pushing forward. I put as much pressure on my opponent as possible, not caring about getting hit, not caring about looking good. I just wanted to destroy. I love the violence - in a regulated way, when both accept. Being in the market has a lot of similarities. The first fight I had was in front of my family and round about 50 spectators - uncomfortable but manageable. I can compare that to trade with very small risk. Losing wouldn't be nice but it's not that bad. The next fights had more spectators, the opponents got harder and I knew it won't be easy. I was ready to win, but accepted the fact I might go down fast. Getting knocked out in front of 100+ people isn't that nice - but still I am the one in the ring. I am the one who's taking the risk. It's like sizing up. I might be ready to lose and take the risk, but the pain here hits different. It's another level. But it makes me feel alive. And if I want to make it, I can't avoid that. Winning here makes a difference. I get real money, not only for buying groceries or going to dinner with my wife. No it's more. Maybe a monthly salary in some hours. So. To make it in trading, same like in fighting, I must accept to get beaten up. If I enter the ring there's no way out. Yeah I can give up - but let's be honest thats embarrassing. No option. In trading, when I give up, cut early, don't execute what was planned or tilt - nobody sees it. I am alone. The shame is only on me. (obviously not always, cause I do live trading in front of other people but I want to stick to that example.) That makes it even harder. When I cut early and see the trade playing out... Wow how weak am I? When I hold the position, follow the plan, using the size as planned and fully accept to get banged - that should make me proud. It does. A Stop Loss? Is not nice, but is okay. I lost many fights. In ring. In life. I can take the pain. At one point it's natural. If you never got knocked out, you never pushed it above your limits. The society I grew up in taught me violence is bad, pain is bad, everything that hurts is bad. How wrong they are... I love trading. When I get into the flow state, it often reminds me of fighting. It's like being an outlaw. F*ck the system vibes. Every time you tell somebody you are a trader they are in doubt. Even showing the before and after - yeah thats luck. They aren't fighters. Their mentality is weak. They fear punches. If they get attacked, they don't fight back... They don't even run. They just freeze. I get comfortable. I begin to handle the emotions better and better. I get more "cold". My character grows in front of the charts. The development is real. Why do you trade? Why do you like it?
