I am in an odd position. I am an atheist, culturally a protestant... but I am genuinely drawn to the Catholic morality.
I don't believe it. But most of it feels true in spite of belief. Almost as if it arrived at something real through a route I can't follow anymore. Even bracketing the theology entirely, some of the moral intuitions don't feel inherited. They feel prior to all of that. It's as if they're pointing at something that was already there and Catholicism just had the vocabulary for it. That unsettles me in a way I respect.

Variance is generous! You don’t need an edge to beat the prop-firm game. You don’t even need a strategy that makes money in the long run. All you need is something that can stay alive long enough for one of those inevitable hot streaks that random variance hands out to everyone eventually.

Icarus smiled as he fell, for he knew to fall meant he had soared.

(Thread) Image I’ve been rereading Greek mythology lately, and it brought me back to that infamous comprehension we (all) read in Class 7 back in Primary School.

Sikumbuki the textbook name, but I remember it was used as an alternative to the New Progressive Primary English series.

I will no longer trade 'ICT' Concepts. I am moving on from pseudo-institutional folklore to actual market microstructure and probabilistic execution models. Price isn’t “delivered by an algo”, it’s emergent behaviour from fragmented market depth and asynchronous order flow. There are ICT traders far more successful than me. But after deep study, I realized most ICT concepts are plagiarized and rebranded ideas from Dow Theory, Wyckoff, Elliott Wave, Peter Steidlmayer’s Auction Market Theory, and classic chart pattern literature.

So basically the church decided Marxism was too radical for Christianity. Imagine thinking Marxist ideas like lifting the poor, ending exploitation, and redistributing wealth go against the teachings of Jesus. Marxism says feed the hungry... Pope says, "Excommunicate that!" Marxist thought: clothe the naked, heresy!

Honestly, the only thing more consistent than Marxism’s fight for the oppressed is the Church’s fear of losing control haha!

Retail doesn’t “provide liquidity” to institutions. Retail accounts for <10% of total volume. That’s not enough to fill institutional size. The ICT Liquidity narrative collapses here. What retail does is cluster around predictable price zones, highs, lows, breakouts, clean structure. Their stops and entries form liquidity pockets, not liquidity depth.
