    There are two negatives in that sentence, the brain will struggle to process that positively.
    Needs to be re-written something like this: "Think smarter".

    I don't like to add sticky notes or anything around my screen. I just think and place my emotions at the right place before I start trading.

    One can spend countless hours studying fundamentals, but at the end of the day it boils down to buyers and sellers = emotions.

    There's a new rank of traders entering the arena, young, energetic, hungry.
    We've seen the results of meme stocks and the effects of social media influence.

    One can trade safely or conservatively but you won't make money fast.

    My observation, dumb stocks often fly, Warren Buffett step aside.

    Here's my latest sticky.
    As long as traders are capitivated by bs, then ride the gravy train. :)

  6. There are two kinds of sticky notes on my monitor. Two sticky notes are permanent, “Control your emotions” and “Don’t be greedy”. When I look for the price actions of different currency pairs for the last time before going to bed, I make some sticky notes if I find some interesting exotic pairs to follow up on the next day. I also make sticky notes if I suddenly find some useful links to study later.

  8. I have a digital sticky, just stuff I need to remember. I put important times for trading every morning and it shows up on every virtual desktop. Quite handy.

    I also use it to keep track of stuff I need to do for clients. I still do contract work but I'm now at the point where trading eclipses that income. I mostly work after markets close aside from meetings. Still, I get to do shit like write compilers and work with embedded boards so why would I give that up.

    (yes I realize the date is wrong, should have been Nov 18 but I put the date there to remind me to update it every morning)
