First of all, you don't, there's no compulsion. You don't have to keep doing the development. If you can just maintain, do the maintenance, and just, follow the process in place, the trades you're ahead of the game because you've really done some work that allows you will allow your trading to grow your account to grow as you follow the process and the development is like nice icing on the cake,...
So I think, and I think with trading, we do need to seek out those things. if it doesn't feel right, there's something there. And even if there's not, it doesn't feel right. What does that do to your emotions? What happens to your emotions? They go up or down. If something is niggling at you, your emotions go up. And if your emotions go up, what happens to your ability to make sound decisions?...
Now short selling is a particular conundrum, right? It's counterintuitive. It feels weird. it's hard to understand, but it's really not much different than the long side once you get to the point where you truly deeply understand it. So my suggestion is for anyone who doesn't have shorting is just keep asking questions until you get it. Until you really intuitively feel comfortable with it, just...
I've been trying pretty hard to keep learning in the last couple of years. I did go through a long phase where I just knew what I knew and I just did that. And I really think I left a lot of money on the table when I was doing that. And a lot of future wealth because, now I'm learning things that I could have learned years ago because I'm a bit more, engaged in all of that. And I think it's...

I'm comfortable with that level of drawdown and, Oh, it's 30 percent winners, 70 percent losers. Yeah, that's okay. I can deal with that. I understand trend following. It's yet another thing to have your account...
I think it's a really useful point to discuss because the markets get high, like trading gets hard psychologically at times. And the last two years for me have not been my favorite two years out of my trading journey. Let me tell you it's okay because I know it's normal. It comes and goes. And sometimes the money is so easy. It's crazy. And sometimes the money is much, much harder. It has been...
The first step in the process is to imagine conceptualize something that you can form into some rules. Okay. This is the hypothesis generation. From what I heard, I jumped through each of the groups. There were good ideas in all of the groups, whether they're profitable or not, it can make a good system out of them. I don't know yet, but just like in trading, a lot of the systems you try and...

Have you ever felt like something just has to change with the way you deal with finances and build wealth and the way you make money? And certainly, I've felt like that in the past, early on before I really got successful at trading. I remember after several years of working in very stressful jobs. Being on the bus on the way into the city, and it was a long bus ride, it was like an hour and...
I am truly excited to have you in my trading world... this can be a very isolated and lonely venture and I know what it feels like to try to figure it out on your own. Before we go any further on our journey together, though, I want to address the elephant in the room... the question in the back of your mind that is probably niggling at you right now. You may or may not have realized you even...
