view from my airbnb in thailand for the weekend
I used to think being a trader meant you had to be in a trade 24/7
but man, chop markets will teach you a hard lesson. you get bored, you start forcing high-leverage plays, aping into random trash, taking stupid bets just to get a hit of dopamine - and before you know it, you've bled half your stack away
took me a while to realize that sometimes the most profitable thing you can do is literally sit on your hands.
don't torch your money trying to make something happen when there’s nothing there
step away from the screen, grab a coffee, touch grass, hang out with your friends and fam, and let the market do its thing without you
