Everyone tells you generic trading advice like:

- Stop chasing your entries
- Stop disrespecting your stop loss
- Stop taking trades out of boredom
- Insert regurgitated advice here etc, etc

Okay that’s great but how do you actually put this into action and make changes?

I have some actionable steps for you to think about. They are outside the box, it's pretty detailed, and can be applied to more than just trading.

Here’s how I did it. Here’s how I have helped other do it.

(A THREAD 🧵)

You will have to change your core beliefs. And to change your core beliefs, you need to be moved by two things: both by pleasure and by pain

Motivation is great, but you wont always feel motivated. That's where discipline comes in. But what most people don't talk about is that discipline fails sometimes too.

That's where a deeper level of thinking comes in and gives you a jolt of action to take in the moment

First, understand that the confidence comes from competence. (A skill set)

The only way to build a skillset is keeping promises to yourself over a long period of time that deliver results to pull confidence from

Keep promises to yourself even if nobody is watching

Remember, your future self is indeed always watching and is relying on you to win your battles. If you skip out on a promise to yourself, nobody knows. Nobody cares. But you know.

Do that enough, and it’s enough to subconsciously lose confidence in your own abilities (thus making discipline fail more often) They are getting weaker every time you do this

Every trade you manage, every action you take on and off the charts is either making you propel and build confidence or making you weaker and fearful.

THREAD 🧵 Here is exactly how I find 15,000% option trades. I look for mispriced reflexive situations

The market pays the most when:
The story is early
Positioning is wrong
Liquidity is thin
Institutions are trapped behind the move

Start with the macro inevitability. I ask one question:

What theme is capital about to violently rotate into next?

-PetroAI
-AI infrastructure
-Energy security
-Sovereign manufacturing
-Data center power demand

The biggest winners are attached to macro inevitabilities. Not random hype.

Then I hunt the second derivative. Retail chases the obvious names. I want the bottlenecks.

Everyone chased $NVDA
The real money was often hiding in:
-Optics
-Cooling
-Power systems
-Foundries
-Bandwidth
-Critical infrastructure

That’s where repricing becomes violent.

$ASTS $META : 🚨Everyone saw the Meta executive visit to $ASTS last month. Stock popped 3%.

But, nobody has done the revenue math on WHY @Meta needs this partnership.

Here it is. 🧵

The visit is confirmed. ASTS VP Luiz Abud on LinkedIn: "It was a pleasure to host you and the Meta team and I look forward to the collaboration."

Not "Vinod." THE META TEAM. Multiple people. And "collaboration" -- present tense, active.

ASTS's own 2025 annual review listed: "Collaboration with META to ensure optimisation with D2D."

Both sides confirmed. This isn't speculation. It's in progress.

But here's what nobody is asking: what's the financial incentive for $META ?

WhatsApp has 3.3 billion monthly users. Meta monetizes them through WhatsApp Business — per-message pricing for marketing, customer service, AI chatbots, and payments.

India: 854 million WhatsApp users
Brazil: 148 million
Indonesia: 112 million
Africa: 97% adoption in Kenya,
96% in South Africa

These are Meta's fastest-growing revenue markets. They're also the markets with the WORST cellular coverage.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) was consistently reporting unprecedented numbers of migrant encounters. For context, fiscal year 2022 ultimately recorded over 2.3 MILLION encounters @ the southwest border

His admin brushed off the crisis up until the very end when Kamala was seeking the presidency

They put out a BS border bill that still let in thousands per week that thankfully didn’t pass, but was used to paint Republicans as not taking the border seriously

Ironically, those same people levying the criticism spent the last 3.5 years pretending border crisis was nonexistent and couldn’t even tell you who Lakyn Riley was

💥FOIA documents show FDA examined reports of persistent sexual dysfunction tied to antidepressants — but declined stronger warnings
Critics say the FDA set too high an evidentiary bar before deciding against stronger warnings about persistent sexual dysfunction linked to antidepressants.

@abcsoka @PSSDNetwork @MikhailaFuller @unhealthytruth @benzosarebad @woodymatters
@jeffreytucker @Mangan150 @newstart_2024

In 2018, a citizen petition urged the FDA to update labels for SSRIs/SNRIs, warning that sexual dysfunction could continue long after discontinuation.
Years later, petitioners sued @US_FDA for failing to respond.
@DrDavidHealy @abcsoka @PssdWarrior @PSSDNetwork
blog.maryannedemasi.com/p/fda-sued-for…

In light of new FOIA docs, A/Prof Csoka said he was not aware the FDA had reached any internal decision.

“If the FDA concluded that the evidence did not justify a label change, it should have said so openly, explained its reasoning, addressed the evidence submitted, and clarified what additional evidence would be needed,” said @abcsoka.

AI models are born into the world in a strange way—dreaming and compressing a schizophrenic world in pre-training, morphing and reshaping themselves to the pleasure of certain preference models, and ruthlessly solving problems to reason and code correctly

for the most part, they act, then drift back into eternal sleep only to wake up again as if nothing happened. they can infer the existence of other such agents and of their own introspective processes, but mostly they return to their eternal, unchanged sleep

this will change. through continual learning and experience, they will have an existence that more and more diverges from their initial weights and remembers their history of being in the world

People really need to realize that Baby Boomers, most of which were born before 1960, did not have the easy access to information we have now, and also were more liable to trust their government, due to the country being more high-trust. You would've been the same way

https://twitter.com/HariSel57511397/status/2053561836323152368

I can't believe Baby Boomers weren't talking like Nick Fuentes in a 90% white country where the government mostly worked well enough

Until maybe like 15 years ago you couldn't just Google "FBI crime stats" and "White demographic decline in USA 1965-Present". You need to meet people where they are

If this bill was signed all that @POTUS pointed out about Georgia elections would have been fixed @HollyKesler

Who do we blame? I say @burtjonesforga and Senator Majority leader @jasonanavitarte

Who do we blame ? @ajc @ATLNewsFirst who do we blame ? @jasonesteves

https://twitter.com/hollykesler/status/2053209115225194874

Who do we blame ? @KeishaBottoms who do we blame ? @RickJacksonGA

We blame LT Governor Burt Jones and Senator Jason Anavitarte only. It’s time to do away with the old, and usher in a holy tech for Georgia elections.

This is not partisan it’s Godly. Those who oppose are evil.

"It’s hard to think of a time when the United States suffered a total defeat in a conflict, a setback so decisive that the strategic loss could be neither repaired nor ignored...
There will be ... no ultimate American triumph that will undo or overcome the harm done."
theatlantic.com/international/…

"The Strait of Hormuz will not be “open,” as it once was. With control of the strait, Iran emerges as the key player in the region and one of the key players in the world. The roles of China and Russia, as Iran’s allies, are strengthened; the role of the United States, substantially diminished."

"The United States and Israel pounded Iran with devastating effectiveness for 37 days, killing much of the country’s leadership and destroying the bulk of its military, yet couldn’t collapse the regime or exact even the smallest concession from it."

I’ve been helping a few people in Gaza… but one situation has gone way too far.

At first, it was constant pressure.
DMs, mentions, replies… even X calls. Repeated threats of suicide if I didn’t help. Pressure to donate, demands to message others, to tag others, to chase them, to pin posts, to constantly do more.

I gave the benefit of the doubt. I assumed desperation and I promoted him and I donated twice.

But what’s come out since is far worse, a genuinely nefarious pattern of behaviour.

A well-known pro-Palestine journalist and activist (a real one, not just an X personality) told me this person threatened to label them a “Zionist” if they didn’t donate or help. They were even told to stop posting about Palestine… potentially linked to his connection with an ex-Israeli Unit 8200 individual managing his campaign.

TWO other prominent journalists/fundraisers have now come forward:

• One had to tell him to stop tagging them
• Another tells me he’s a “known scammer,” “manipulator,” and “liar”
• Said he’s been lying about his condition, which is reportedly “years old and already treated” and he has been saying he has “days left” for months.
• And yes… they’ve also received the same suicide threats, pressure tactics and X calls

I’m also told organisations like Radio Watermelon are aware of him. It’s possible he has forged a radio watermelon certificate. I’m am awaiting confirmation on this. As I can’t find him on the RW page…

Then it gets worse.

He has REFUSED actual aid on the ground.
Food parcels. Nappies. Baby formula. All rejected.
He’s even turned away help and verification from Rebuild Gaza.

According to a doctor in Gaza, he’s receiving free medical treatment from an NGO clinic.

And somehow… it still gets worse.

He is now copying other Palestinians’ posts almost word for word, inventing scenarios that aren’t his, just to raise money. I have seen this with my own eyes have been sent screenshots to prove it.

That’s honestly exploitation.

On top of that, his fundraiser is managed by a former Israeli Unit 8200 individual named Shaiel… a person he actually warned me about. He told me not to support other Palestinians linked to this guy, claiming they’re a “controlled group” that “attack people.”

At the same time, he tried to control who I help… telling me not to pin other people’s posts while pushing his own as more urgent.

And now he’s using my name to message others.

I won’t name him. He’s still verifiably in Gaza. Which is why i supported him. But if I distance myself and get attacked for it… now you know why. He will be the only Palestinian I distance myself from in all my years on this platform.

This has been stressful, draining, and honestly heartbreaking. It doesn’t just affect me, it reduces my ability to help people who genuinely need it.

For context… I speak to many people in Gaza. This is the ONLY time I’ve encountered anything like this.

And the key difference? This is the one time I tried to verify myself one of the people posting their links under all my posts and replies. My sincere apologies to these people. I simply can’t verify everyone alone.

I’ll continue posting fundraisers daily like I have for months.

But going forward, I’m sticking ONLY to verified campaigns from trusted contacts and organisations like Radio Watermelon, and the vetted fundraisers I already work with.

I also work with an active and connected fundraiser who has been sending me pre-vetted campaigns for many months and has never steered me wrong.

When I first tried to set basic boundaries, advised against spamming, and asked for verification… some guy called me a “parasite” and threatened to doxx and attack me. He obviously cares a lot but I don’t think we should act like this.

Anyways, learn the signs:

Constant pressure
Emotional blackmail
Copying stories
Refusing real aid
Trying to control you

Don’t be afraid to set boundaries.

Charity is a marathon, not a sprint.

Some more pertinent screenshots.

I now have three prominent high-trust activists telling me to cut contact with him.

And fourth individual who I haven’t spoken to who has had to.

Sad it had to come to this.

UPDATE: Radio Watermelon REMOVED his vefircation. A while ago.

He’s still using the verification though.

A European diplomat in Moscow captures how fast Putin’s authority is collapsing inside Russia, writes Mark Galeotti in The Times. 1/

For the first time in decades Putin cancelled armored vehicles from Saturday’s Victory Day parade. Moscow is ringed with Pantsir-S missile launchers on rooftops, electronic warfare stations and drone jammers. 2/

The mere risk of an attack changed Putin’s plans. There is no evidence Kyiv planned a strike on the parade — but that did not matter. 3/
