"Full time trading is really a difficult job. Most of the time our actions get the best of us. Just by watching prices move, we can be led to believe that there is a compelling trade when there really is none. It took me years to understand that short term price movements can really trigger mindless reactions from you, which, if you rely on it for your trading, is not a sustainable way of doing things. The job of your amygdala, the old, un-updated processor in your brain, is to run away from pain instantly. If you satisfy its command, the relief is always limited to the short term.

The beauty about having a plan is that the execution is lifted to a higher standard. Decision making and processing is transferred to a better processor in the brain, one that is not reactive but rather, one that is patient, logical, analytic and systematic.

We’ve always said that learning curves vary from trader to trader. The Holy Grail is not a system, but is an event that tells you, you have finally figured it out. Thus, the only practical thing to do is to go for infinite trades (from Bryan Johnson’s infinite games), the real true goal of having the ability to trade for as long as you can. Trade as much as you can until you figure it out. Pursuing that moment would mean two things: protect your capital to survive, and plan your trades to make them meaningful."

Good morning, Traders! Let's make this week worthwhile. -Bryan Gomez
