Check

Hey.

Facing some basic issues on the other side.

Life has changed.

Race became more intense.

There’s greed in the equation, the desire to achieve as much as possible in as little time as possible.

Everything’s moving…

…faster.

As if…

…from one day to the next…

one just…

…shifted.

It’s clear to me that we don’t shift till we are ready.

Was a hard nut to crack.

Had to be literally goaded into the AI trajectory, several coaxings required. Hard skepticism took its time to be broken down.

Not happy about the greed.

Speed of coasting is also very high.

Need attunement.

Unable to slow down easily.

Need to be careful about a ‘now I’ve got this and to hell with you attitude’. Can develop unchecked.

Addiction. Need to stay de-addicted.

All non-electronic activities in the day go up immensely in value.

Reading – books. Check.

Chanting. Check.

Basic verbal conversations. Check.

Human interactions. Check.

Helping someone. Charity. Check.

Non-distracted eating. Check.

Bringing down multi-tasking levels. Check.

Whole detox days. Day travel. StayCation. AutoCut the system. Check.

Evening chanting session. Lengthen. It’s not electronic. Check.

Anything not connected to a device and creates value. Check.

Not going to fall sick in this hyperactive space.

Check.

Incorporating before proceeding further.

Check.

Waking Up On The Other Side

Hey,

First up, humbled. To the nth.

Was an AI skeptic till, like, yesterday.

Well, skeptic tried, and died, the skeptic did.

What woke up was armed 25x and on steroids.

That’s me now, after 9 days of intense work on Claude.

Encouraged to try by friends and compatriots, initiated into entry, took the plunge.

There’s a chronic buzz in this dimension. This is an electronic world. Just got more…

…robotic. It’s just that the robot is invisible.

It’s like fighting a matrix war from inside a digital maniacal super-intelligent tool who knows…

…everything.

Who can connect dots…

…exponentially and asymptotically, both simultaneously.

Red flag list is at an all time high.

Sleep’s off.

Mind races all the time.

There’s some exuberance that’s come to the fore.

Don’t want to speak much.

Need solitude.

Basic life disturbs.

Withdrawal symptoms away from screen.

Welcome to the planet 3.0.

What happened to 2.0 ?

Wasn’t that supposed to be the shifted one, towards doing good for mankind?

Want it back.

Need to get to 2.0.

What is 2.0?

A controlled version of 3.0, using its tools only, not being ruled by it. Doing good for mankind.

Need to create a 2.0 out of 3.0.

Fast.

Mini Models

Hey.

Patterns …

… keep changing.

Sometimes, markets move with a rhythm.

At other times, there’s none.

Rhythm, that is.

What is there, then, at these times?

Nothing recognizable?

Noise?

Something developing, but still not discernable?

A mix of all this?

It’s ok.

We don’t have to have a pattern at all times.

We’re ok with occasional mini-models.

Once defined, one moves as per these.

When the mini-model doesn’t work anymore, one discards it.

Examples?

Mondays are slow. Then they’re not. Helps in entry-planning, and sometimes also in exit-planning.

There’s one breakout in the watch-list per day. Then there’s none. Helps during profit-booking and / or exit-planning.

There’s one addition to one’s in-profit watch-list per day. Then there’s none. Helps in recognizing bullishness picking up and slowing down.

Monthly profit target not met by far, and it’s nearing the last week of the month. Rally slowing down? Reversal coming?

One gets the gist. Make up any mini-model.

Make up?

Yes. That’s the thing.

Working with something that no one else in general is using, or has thought of, is an edge.

What this means is, that while others might be making use or no use of slow Mondays, these haven’t become a mass pile-on party like a Fibonacci event, which the whole world knows about, uses, and can be fooled with.

Our own mini-models work …

… just for us,…

… and then they don’t, …

… which is when we discern the next one that is working.

We traverse from mini-model to mini-model, learn tremendously, and …

… create more and more cost-free-ness.

Over time, all our created cost-free-ness makes one’s cup run over.

🙂

Born in Silence

Do you get alone-time?

Can you live with noise?

Does noise cover fact?

Can you see the forest for the trees?

Why do I ask?

Do you want your ideas to turn into multibaggers?

Bask in silence. 

There’s something about silence. 

You don’t need to think. 

Thoughts just come. 

Eventually, a blockbuster idea appears. 

Distracted, you might not even recognize it. 

It will come, and go, worthless as it is forgotten. 

Alert, you recognize it. 

You put it on paper. 

Ramifications. 

Aha. 

You see it. 

Implementation. 

Benefit. 

It was born in silence. 

The biggest money can be made when you think like no one has thought before.

MP vs MoS : the lowdown on Trade-Entry

Margin of Safety (MoS)… 

… hmmm… 

… wasn’t that in investing? 

Well – surprise – it’s in trading too. 

You can enter a trade with MoS. 

How? 

Ok.

ID the trend. 

Wait for a minor reversal.

Let the reversal continue towards a pivot, or a support or a what have you. 

During this reversal, whenever you feel that you have considerable MoS, well – enter. 

Why shouldn’t you wait for the pivot to get touched? 

Things happen real fast at a pivot. Upon a pivot-touch, you can lose your comfort-zone even within minutes. 

Two vital things can happen at a pivot. 

Either there’s a quick bounce-back, or the pivot gets broken. 

Bounce-back means your trade is now in the money, and that you can go about managing your trade as per your trade-management rules. Wonderful. 

Pivot-break is not a worry for you. 

Why? 

Because you’ve placed your stop slightly below pivot, after the noise. 

Upon pivot-break, you get stopped out. You take the small hit and move on to your next trade. 

Eventually, things heat up. 

There is movement. 

Tops get taken out. 

Fast money can be made. 

How do you enter here? (Needless to say, for shorts, everything is to be understood reversed). 

Momentum play (MP)… 

… is the weapon of choice. 

You set up a trigger entry after a top or a resistance or a what have you, and wait for price to pierce, and for your entry to get triggered. Then you place your stop, below top or resistance or what have you. 

MP vs MoS is a matter of style. 

If you’re not comfortable changing your trading style to adapt to times, that’s fine too. Stick to one style.

If you’re conservative, stick to MoS. 

In a frenzy, however, MoS might almost never happen. 

In a frenzy, entry will be triggered exclusively through MP.

Take your pick. Adapt. Do both. Or don’t. Do one.

You call the shots. 

This is about you.
