will be logging off for quite long time I hope, I might miss a lot of good opportunities, but I was ignoring my problems for pretty much 2 years at this point, got myself chronic stress, inability to enjoy life, inability to trade or execute as well, time to humiliate myself hard and to restart from ground. I kept telling myself I will do that and will become more disciplined, but I got it to the point where I will either do it now or will destroy myself completely. Never ignore or disrespect your body, soul, mind, otherwise it will revenge at some point

This is burnout, and if you want to survive as a trader, you must learn to recognize it. True burnout is not just being overworked, nor is it something you can push through. It is a feedback loop that occurs when your body experiences intense, prolonged stress. Stress is part of life, and under normal conditions you can recover from it easily. In fact, many dimensions of human performance - strength, endurance, mental acuity - actually require stress in order to grow. However, growth in response to stress can only happen when the stress is manageable and offset by periods of recovery. When the stress is extreme and constant, the body fails to adapt and enters a downward spiral. As stress accumulates, several things happen physiologically: - sleep is disrupted - hormones become dysregulated - mental performance degrades - heart rate variability falls - inflammation rises and immune function declines The problem is that each of these effects also *reduces your ability to withstand and recover from stress.* So you enter a vicious cycle where recovery becomes impossible and performance steadily deteriorates. The experience @agapestride describes here is exactly what it feels like to burn out from trading. And if you find yourself in this situation, the most important thing you can do is *recognize what has happened.* You are not dumber than you used to be. You are not more indecisive. You are not more impulsive, fearful, or greedy. You are simply physiologically impaired by severe, chronic stress. When you notice the signs of burnout, you must prioritize recovery above all else: - cut your risk - stop looking at charts - get off social media - play sports or start running - spend time with friends and family - go hiking or traveling - take lots of hot baths As much as it feels like the best time to make generational wealth is RIGHT NOW, the market will always be here. So take a break and don't come back until you know your body can handle it.

yeah, I kinda think that’s the only way tbh, every time I try to do fundamentals based, it fucks up execution, you fall in love with the bags, conviction etc, harder to manage, unless you have very long timeframes

I’m looking for one more driven full-stack developer to join I’m offering equity to someone who shares our vision and wants to build If you’re a young developer who’s hungry to build or if you’re interested/can vouch for someone my DMs are open

Also, believe in yourself man stop waiting for anyone else to live your life I went full time hustling with basically nothing to my name cause i knew my path was not the one everyone else chose for themselves, yes it’s hard it is fucking hard but man what’s the other option? This life sucks otherwise This life sucks unless you believe in yourself and move the world because something bigger than you is heating inside Stop blaming anyone for your shit, take control of your godamn life And i dont want this to sound like I look down on my own people it really just comes from my heart because I know those words will resonate inside the right minds out there My head is filled with doubts, uncertainties, sadness and pain too but this is just the way life is for sensible humans, this is the price we have to pay for everything else that makes being human and alive amazing, just look around You are not alone but you are alone and you will have to accept the way it is

So we have $chip $strk $tia outperforming today. I think it’s good that $NEAR is so strong given how much it’s up from bottom and there’s no attention reason for that compared to smaller alts. It trades like strong major, no KOLs are pushing it, we always have major L1 trade each cycle, maybe this is NEAR cycle. I’m not 100% sure in it, but I like chart and trade itself feels quite organic

just to summarize my aug-october: 1. Sold $pons early 2. Sold $stonk early 3. missed $pump initial rally 4. Tped $zec at 800 from 600, tped useless after 20% pump as well 5. Went on heavy tilt and lost a bunch of money, was in bad mental state after prior months 6. Sold $ZRO early (10% pump) 7. Tped $near early (10% pump) 8. More tilting in between 9. Tped $strk early after 5% move to miss on x2 To be continued…
