perfect emotional balance is something I would love to have

Me too. I’d go back to trading… 🤣

Ngl I miss it, and I miss the profits. But at the same time life is so much more peaceful without it

longer time preference

The PEACE is so underrated.

Amen 🙏

it's something i've heard time and time again

the best traders get bored, as they just follow the same step-by-step process time and time again
