In 2016 I made this slide and talked about phases in price the market operates in... and I want you to revisit this concept.

Bond markets are flashing red. Today, the US 30Y Note Yield officially hit its highest level since July 2007, at 5.19%. This will soon become Americans’ biggest problem, yet the vast majority do not even know it is happening. What is happening? Let us explain. (a thread)

CRB Commodity Index just broke above its 2022 high Quick breakdown: This tracks the full commodity basket oil, metals, grains, agriculture, everything. Last time it crossed these exact levels in 2022, inflation went nuclear and forced the Fed into one of the fastest, most brutal hiking cycles ever. We are right back in that zone again… and still climbing.
FED panics at 3 on inflation breakeven This is the only macro chart that matters to me right now.

Everyone should have the experience of being depressed and hitting rock bottom at least once in their life. I really think that it's an important part of growing up. It cracks you open like a shell, destroys your ego, and teaches you a lot about yourself and life.

The reason you’re not getting what you want is because you delay doing the things you don’t like but know you need to do for longer than it takes to do them.

The reason most people never get rich is because they're unwilling to sacrifice the fast money for the big money, so they hop from shiny opportunity to shiny opportunity, never sticking with something to get good enough to see something stack.

The reason it’s taking so long is because you’re in a rush. People radically underestimate how many repetitions it takes to get good at something. You keep hopping opportunities and killing your progress instead of sticking with one thing long enough to actually get good.

Remember: 1. Sit on your hands when you don't see edge. Don't force setups. Patience. 2. Step up when you do see edge. No fear. No hesitation. Follow your process. Expect nothing. Expectations create emotions. 3. Trade the market, not your P&L. 4. Always seek improvement.
