The most interesting thing about David Sacks' press conference was not what he said or didn’t say… It was who showed up. The majority of congressmen who spoke weren’t who you would expect. They weren’t SEC hawks. They weren’t banking industry watchdogs. They were from agriculture and commodities. That might sound random—until you realize what it means. For years, crypto companies have begged to be regulated by the CFTC instead of the SEC. And now, it looks like they’re about to get their wish. Why the CFTC? Their oversight is generally seen as lighter-touch and more adaptable to innovation. (The CFTC’s mandate focuses on market integrity and fraud prevention, while the SEC imposes stricter disclosure and registration requirements.) If crypto-at-large officially gets classified as a commodity, rather than a security, it means one thing: fewer restrictions, more innovation. Meaning, the US government is about to do for crypto what it did for the Internet in the 1990s… Give it breathing room to grow before regulating it into oblivion. Point blank: the ink isn’t dry on the future of finance. And crypto just grabbed the pen. Dismiss it at your own risk. Now, yes… this crypto story is a BIG DEAL. Author: Chris C.

Isaac Newton. One of the smartest men who ever lived. Basically invented physics. And yet, in 1720, he got wrecked in the stock market. Don’t feel sorry for him. Newton was rich. He was the Master of the Royal Mint (basically the head of the British economy). But he got caught up in the hype of the South Sea Bubble, a scam so bad it makes FTX look like a neighborhood dog park scandal. Newton invested early. Doubled his money. Cashed out. Smart. But then he watched the stock go higher. FOMO kicked in. He jumped back in—this time at the peak. Not smart. The bubble popped. He lost a third of his fortune. His famous quote after this financial faceplant: "I can calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people." Boesky had his cigar bars. Newton had a gut instinct. Simons had an equation. I bet you can guess where I’m going with this. From Chris C. Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

Being a guy who has spent most of his early twenties without any exercise and most of the time on bed or chair, I think I can throw some light on the issue. When you do not exercise- Your body becomes lethargic. You start feeling that you are always sick and lack energy to do anything, specially when it comes to moving your body. You start getting all sorts of digestive diseases from acid reflux to bad digestion and your metabolism gets really slow. Your body starts feeling like a body of an old person. Your core becomes weak, you loose all the muscle tone, your flat stomach starts turning into a bulging belly, you start getting man boobs. You start eating too much junk food to make your self feel happy. Since you do not exercise, your brain also starts getting affected in various ways, for example your brain stops producing serotonin ( a hormone associate with your happiness) and you generally start getting depressed. To over come this depressing feeling you indulge in binge eating and YouTube watching till you get addicted to it because of the chemical called dopomine (associated with addiction) which provides false sense of satisfaction due to instant gratification, but as soon as u stop the activity you start getting depressed again. You lack any structure and any kind of discipline in your life which makes you more lazy and aimless. Infact it starts affecting your professional goals, as you lack discipline and will. You loose self confidence due to your ruined body shape and lack of any strength. In addition your “weekend party” lifestyle adds on to your problems which you realise in your mid 30s. If you are a male, your testosterone gets really low and you start looking older than you actually are. You remain at the risk of getting diseases like blood pressure, type 2 diabetes , heart disease etc. at much younger age. You start looking like a 40 years old at the age of 28.(cannot emphasis enough on this). There are more problems associated with not exercising at all but I think I have made this issue bit clearer.

While the McRib correlation makes for an entertaining meme… The real question: What’s next? Interestingly, if we examine the patterns that typically emerge after Bitcoin breaks major psychological barriers… ($1,000… $10,000… and $50,000…) We’re looking at three scenarios here: Consolidation (60% probability) - Accumulation phase while market digests gains - Gradual grind upwards Continued Momentum (25% probability) - Quick move to $120K-150K range - Driven by institutional FOMO Sharp Correction (15% probability) - Retrace to $70K-80K range - Shake out leveraged positions Chances are, we see a long grind of consolidation. And that’s GREAT news for altcoins. Here’s What to Watch Altcoins typically do well during long periods of Bitcoin consolidation. BUT there’s a caveat: You have to be in touch with the prevailing narrative to make the most gains. Right now, we’re looking at three KEY trends… “DeFi 2.0” narrative gaining steam: Institutional-grade infrastructure is ready. “Real yield” products on the rise. Tokenization: In 2025, nobody is going to stop talking about tokenization. It’s going to be on the lips of every cab driver in NYC. AI + Web3 convergence accelerating: Computing power demand soaring while crypto is creating new markets for data, compute, and AI agents. This is where our eyes are this week. And it represents one of the biggest opportunities in the markets -- especially now. Before things get REAL silly. – Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

Consider: some 80% of small to medium-sized businesses around the world don’t have a website. Many businesses in emerging economies rely on social media platforms (e.g., WhatsApp, Facebook) as their primary digital presence instead of formal websites. But even in more digitally advanced economies, the number can hover around half. Why? Simple answer: although we’ve made it easier to make a website, it’s still not easy enough. Let’s say a yoga instructor wants to offer online classes but lacks tech skills or a budget. Instead of struggling with confusing platforms, she tells her AI agent, “Set up a website for me to host yoga classes.” The AI handles everything. It integrates Stripe for payments, Zoom for live classes, scheduling services for in-person classes, and a chat module for inquiries. It even suggests templates. When the instructor picks one and asks for a purple and white color scheme, the AI updates it instantly. No coding. No frustration. Just results. And the best part? She didn’t have to touch a single screen or key. This is the future Wilson describes in Age of Invisible Machines. And, as mentioned, it’s powered by three core technologies: Conversational User Interfaces (CUIs): Say what you need; the system handles it. From building websites to booking flights, it’s fast and human-like. Composable Architecture: Traditional business solutions become “modules”. Like LEGO bricks, modular tools—payments, chats, scheduling—snap together to create custom solutions without starting from scratch. No-Code Programming: AI agents code for you, empowering anyone to create without needing a developer. It’s not just a better way to interact with technology… It’s a complete reimagining of how industries operate. As Harvard Business School’s Marco Iansiti says, “This isn’t disruption—it’s a fundamental shift in production and interaction.” And, the thing is… It’s not just possible. It’s already happening. Early examples are already here. – Chris Campbell, AltucherConfidential Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

Question: My name is Omobola Sikiru from Lagos, Nigeria. I am mechanical engineering. Where can I find someone that can be my helper to relocate me to the USA? Answer: According to your own profile, you are trying to enter other countries through deception and immigration fraud. You are an engineer in Nigeria, but you are not licensed as an engineer in any other country. There are no helpers, no sponsors, and nobody is going to give you money, get you an engineering job, or get you a visa. You must qualify to immigrate. Nobody can help you with that. Either you qualify and have settling in money, or you don’t. You need to improve your English before trying to get a job in a Western, English speaking country. Engineers write reports. You wrote, ‘I am mechanical engineering’. Nobody will hire you if you write like this.

The big breakthrough with AI right now is “natural language computing.” Meaning, you can speak in natural language to a computer and it can go through huge data sets, make sense out of them, and speak back to you in natural language. That alone is a huge breakthrough. The next leg? AI agents. Where they don’t just speak back to you. They take action. Here’s the definition I like best: an AI agent is an autonomous system that uses tools, memory, and context to accomplish goals that require multiple steps. Everything from simple tasks (analyzing web traffic) to more complex goals (building executive briefings or optimizing websites). They can: > Reason across multiple steps. >Use tools like a real assistant (Excel spreadsheets, budgeting apps, search engines, etc.) > Remember things. And AI agents are not islands. They talk to other agents. They can collaborate. Specialized agents that excel at narrow tasks can communicate and amplify one another’s strengths—whether it’s reasoning, data processing, or real-time monitoring. What it Looks Like You wake up one morning, drink your coffee, and tell your AI agent, “I need to save $500 a month.” It gets to work. First, it finds all your recurring subscriptions. Turns out you’re paying $8.99 for a streaming service you forgot you had. It cancels it. Then it calls your internet provider, negotiates a lower bill, and saves you another $40. Finally, it finds you car insurance that’s $200 cheaper per year. What used to take you hours—digging through statements, talking to customer service reps on hold for an hour, comparing plans—is done while you’re scrolling Twitter. Another example: one agent tracks your home maintenance needs and gets information from a local weather-monitoring agent. Result: "Rain forecast next week - should we schedule gutter cleaning now?" Another: an AI agent will plan your vacations (“Book me a week in Italy for under $2,000”), find the cheapest flights, and sort out hotels with a view. It’ll remind you to pay bills, schedule doctor’s appointments, and track expenses so you’re not wondering where your paycheck went every month. The old world gave you tools—Excel spreadsheets, search engines, budgeting apps. The new world gives you agents who do the work for you. Don’t Get Too Scared (or Excited) Yet William Gibson famously said: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed." AI agents will distribute it. For decades, the tools that billionaires and corporations used to get ahead—personal assistants, financial advisors, lawyers—were out of reach for regular people. AI agents could change that. BUT, remember… We’re in inning one. AI agents have a ways to go. They’re imperfect. They mess up. They need more defenses to get ready for prime time. To be sure, AI is powerful, but it’s not a miracle worker. It’s great at helping humans solve problems, but it’s not going to replace all jobs overnight. Instead of fearing AI, think of it as a tool to A.] save you time on boring stuff and B.] amplify what you’re already good at. Right now is the BEST time to start experimenting. It’s also the best time to find investments that will “make AI work for you”. Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

What a wild year. AI seems to be appearing everywhere you look, Paris hosted a weird Olympics, unrest continues in the Middle East, the US endured a crazy-heated election, and the largest rocket ever to fly successfully landed in a giant pair of robot arms. Okay, but what about the $money stuff? Well, this year we've seen a load of uncertainty - inflation is still biting and many businesses have gone down. Property has been very fractured, with developments becoming prohibitively expensive, while other markets have boomed. It hasn't been an easy ride, that's for sure. However, the stock market has had some outstanding results, and for those who know how to trade, some have done VERY well for themselves. Some have replaced their incomes. Some have set themselves up for the rest of their days on this planet. How about you? How did you go? Author: Louise Bedford Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

Eight Figures …First, consider the trend. With personal computers, though Intel and Microsoft made billions from providing the foundation… Even greater wealth was created by software companies and businesses that used PCs to transform their operations. During the Internet boom, while Cisco and other infrastructure providers did well… The greatest fortunes came from companies like Amazon, Google and Facebook that built applications on top of that infrastructure. And, finally… When the iPhone launched, the initial winners were component makers like Qualcomm and ARM Holdings. However, the biggest long-term beneficiaries turned out to be companies that leveraged smartphones for their business models - like Uber, Instagram, and mobile payment companies. Now, here’s why you should be excited: There’s one industry that’s transitioning from its infra stage to full-blown adoption. In fact, we might see HUGE shifts in the market pointing to this within sixty days from today. You’re probably thinking I’m about to say crypto. While also true… I’m not talking about crypto. I’m talking about another industry that’s about to take off. By Chris Campbell Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

What Comes Next? There's this weird dance that happens in crypto. Bitcoin moves first. It grabs all the headlines. Your Uber driver starts talking about it. Your mom asks if she should buy some. And everyone forgets that anything else exists. This is exactly when smart money starts positioning for what comes next. Think about it: When Bitcoin starts going parabolic, what happens? All that fresh money and attention floods into crypto. Eventually, that money starts looking for higher returns. This is where it gets interesting. While everyone's obsessing over Bitcoin, smart players are quietly accumulating the next wave of winners. They're looking for projects that hold strong even when Bitcoin dips. Pro-tip: When everything else drops 40% but one or two projects only drops 10% - that might be telling you something. The Real Winners But here's the thing to remember: The real winners are never the copycats. They're never the projects trying to be "the next Bitcoin." Or the “next Ethereum”. Or the “next Solana”. Or whatever. They're the ones solving actual problems that have to be solved. Everyone learned this lesson the hard way during the dot-com boom. The biggest returns came from identifying the infrastructure plays that had to exist for the internet to work… Not from buying Yahoo! when it started surging to all-time highs. The same thing's happening now. While everyone's arguing about prices, entire new markets are being built right under their noses. Look, nobody is perfect on timing. Markets have a way of humbling everyone. But I've been around long enough to know this: The biggest opportunities rarely come from chasing what's already pumping. They come from positioning yourself in front of what's inevitably coming next. Author: Chris Campbell Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

Here’s something few are talking about: The Chinese are printing money like it's going out of style. Not that you'd hear about it in the mainstream news. But Bitcoin knows. Bitcoin always knows. Here’s the thing… When the Chinese government prints money to paper over the cracks, their smart money doesn't sit around waiting to get devalued. It usually flows into three things: Bitcoin, gold, and dollars. After years of being beaten down, gold's having one of its best years in decades. But here's the secret -- whatever gold does, Bitcoin's going to do it bigger. Much bigger. Since last November, when China started their printing spree, Bitcoin's been moving in near-perfect correlation with the People's Bank of China's balance sheet. Over 80% correlation, maybe even 90%. Again, few are talking about it. But here's why this matters right now: This could be the beginning of a huge breakout in the crypto markets. Bitcoin broke above its July high, and historically, that's led to new all-time highs over 90% of the time. The only times it failed? COVID and the 2022 bear market. That's it.” – Chris Campbell Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

Originally Answered: How can I compete with people who are better than me in every way? So you want to outcompete people who are smarter, better looking and more experienced than you? No problem! All you have to do is outwork them. Will Smith said, "if we both get on a treadmill either you're going to get off first or I'm going to die trying." Most people just aren't willing to work that hard. Sure, they'll show up for the job interview and maybe practice in front of the mirror for a few minutes, but they won't do hours and hours of research and prepare for weeks. They won't wake up early and stay up late working on their dreams. So while all those smart, good-looking, experienced people are waiting around for the next opportunity to come their way, you can outwork them and create your own opportunities. In a few years, you'll be that "smart" person everyone looks up to. But you'll be different. You'll know it was your hard work, your inner strength and your commitment to living a great life that made you successful and brilliant - not luck or good genes.” – Tom Corson-Knowles, Quora Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

Why do elderly individuals live alone, particularly if they have offspring who can provide for their financial and other needs? I am 73 now; 3 years ago my wife left me. At first I was devastated, for at least 3 days, before I realized that being alone is the best. I love it now and really, even if a beautiful young woman wanted to marry me, I would decline. I would not swap this for all the tea in China. No more loneliness… yes loneliness in marriage is the worst kind. No more nagging. No more stress. No more working to support two. No more fights over the TV. No more questions when I get home late. No more putting the toilet seat down and the dirty clothes in the basket. No more lies from me when asked if she is too fat. No more telling me how rank my family are and how perfect hers is. No more 2 cars and 2 expense accounts. Man, I am rich now. No more fights over where we should go for holidays. No more snoring. No more being told how useless you are and called idiot daily. No more comforting her as she cries because she been caught lying. No more jealousy (was a big one in my relationship) There is more… a lot more, but my fingers are tired. So loneliness is not as bad as some suppose.

What skills are hard to learn after age 30? This is a great, thought provoking question. I would like to believe that no skill absolutely can’t be learnt once you cross 30, but some things definitely do get harder. We have two young kids and as I think about the skills we’d like them to learn, those make good examples of things that are harder to pick up post 30. A new musical instrument A new language Swimming Riding a bike Other physically challenging things - example, I am pretty sure I am not going to be a gymnast or figure skater in this lifetime. Empathy for others More abstract things: Your general demeanor and personality traits are hard to change once you get older. For example, if you are an extrovert, post 30 that trait is likely going to stay. Your appetite for risk taking is probably well formed by this time also and although this can be changed, it likely a non-trivial amount of work. My dad moved to the US when he was over 60. Prior to that, he had been driving on the left side of the road in India for 30–40 years. He was able to overcome the strong muscle memory associated with driving and learned to drive on the right side of the road in the US within a few months. I think that’s pretty awesome. With enough will, determination and perseverance I think the human body and spirit is capable of a lot of new learning and change, but in general as you get older there is more inertia to continue the habits you already have, which make big changes harder. Good luck! Author: Puja Ramani, Quora Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

Speaking on the issue of pastors owing private jets; Olu Johnson said that it was of necessity for some pastors to own such, as it was not to showoff but rather to propagate the gospel of the kingdom. “Sincerely, I do not blame pastors that have private jet in our time and season. Pastor Adeboye is busier than the president of Nigeria – the president of Nigeria oversees only this nation, I don’t know if we can know how many nations Pastor Adeboye is overseeing from Redemption Camp. “The man is overseeing 197 nations: I have missed some of our very important meetings where I am the host for flight schedules; if I had the means, maybe I would have hired a flight and wouldn’t have missed those programmes. Some institutions and individuals in this nation have their private jets; if the work of a pastor has become enormous like the work of Pastor Adeboye or Oyedepo, I sincerely subscribe that if they can afford it or the church can afford it; it is necessary.” – Rev.

Can any of your non-trading buddies or loved ones paint a clear picture of what you do for a living? I've got friends who've been with me through my entire trading journey... but if they were asked to explain it, they'd probably draw a blank. Doesn't make them bad friends. But when I mention I'm off to get my trades on, they look at me like I just sprouted a couple of new heads. Might as well tell them I'm jetting off to negotiate with aliens in a Black Hole. And how this whole trading thing keeps me happy in my fancy lifestyle is basically a mystery to them. Could be magic, who knows! And that's alright. Every decision - it all boils down to us - the buck stops with you. When we succeed... oooh, it's delicious. And when we 'fail', we roll up our sleeves... and come back swinging the next day with fresh enthusiasm to learn from our 'failures' and get back on top. We're a misunderstood bunch, often raising eyebrows among friends and family... because we rock the boat. Most of this terrifies regular folks. Our radical self-responsibility seems risky and downright crazy. Why take these risks? No 'for-sure' paycheck, tons of introspective thinking, and hard work. So why do we do it? Well, because it's the most exhilarating way to live. Every day in trading gives you back your choices. In your world, you're the driving force. It's a big responsibility, no doubt... but you can always quit and go back to working for someone else. Maybe. Most of us, after living the trading lifestyle for a while, are basically unemployable. We're too independent. Too allergic to nonsense. Too wise about how the world really ticks to accept a role that's meek or ineffective. So, why not savor the adventure you're living? No matter where you stand in the trading game, if you've been tuning in to my rants and tales, you've got the trader's spirit in your veins. If not, you'd have hit 'unsubscribe' ages ago. Because what I talk about in these messages probably sounds like wild, out-there dreams to most folks. But, you know it in your heart that this is the world where you want to play.

We have written extensively about what makes Ethereum a great investment, so here’s the quick summary for those who are new to crypto: Ethereum is the second-largest crypto behind bitcoin. This gives it tremendous market power, resiliency, and trust. Ethereum is the #1 smart contract platform in the world. I think of it like an operating system that runs crypto apps: like the Windows or MacOS of crypto. Ethereum has a huge community. More investors -> more developers -> more apps -> more users, and the flywheel keeps turning. This will likely accelerate post-ETF. Ethereum has a huge competitive moat. Because of its leading position, it is unlikely to be toppled from its top spot anytime soon (though many L1 crypto competitors are trying). Ethereum has a track record of innovation. Ethereum keeps pulling off major upgrades (the massive move to Proof of Stake in 2022 was a huge technological feat, as but one example). Ethereum is energy efficient. Since its move to PoS, its energy use dropped by an astonishing 99%. Today Ethereum consumes less than 0.01% of the energy of bitcoin. Ethereum is fully decentralized. Unlike most other crypto investments, no one person controls the network. That is a massive advantage in determining its future legality. Ethereum has an unofficial leader. At the same time, co-founder Vitalik Buterin is one of the most thoughtful and hard-working leaders in crypto, providing wise guidance and inspiration. Ethereum has a vision and a plan. Unlike bitcoin, Ethereum knows what it wants to be when it grows up. Ethereum has been approved by regulators. The SEC has approved an ETF, a huge stamp of approval that should put all worries to bed: ETH is now really and truly 100% legal. When you’ve got a hot tech stock that’s about to IPO, ordinary investors like us can almost never buy the stock before the public offering. That’s reserved for the company founders and big VC funds. I’d argue that we are in a unique situation, where ordinary investors can buy into Ethereum, before it becomes “available” to the general public. It’s a situation very much like the bitcoin and gold ETFs. We don’t know if history will repeat itself. But, as you may have heard, history often rhymes. Timing the Investment Longtime readers know that we’re not big on timing investments. Our approach remains the same: buy and hold quality crypto assets, making monthly investments regardless of price, and hold for five or more years. (Read more on our approach here.) But let’s just say if you’re going to set up such an investment plan, now might be a really good time to do it. And you really, really might want to include Ethereum. Because the Ethereum ETF is coming, and ETH is coming to the masses. You can be there first. Don’t Buy the Fear After many cycles in crypto, I’ve learned two things: You can eliminate most of your fear with “Vitamin DCA.” Buy the hate instead. Instead of trying to time the market, consider dollar cost averaging (DCA). As you probably know… DCA involves investing a fixed amount at regular intervals, regardless of the price. This method helps mitigate the impact of volatility by spreading out your purchases over time. For example, instead of investing $1,200 all at once, you could invest $100 each month. This way, you buy at both highs and lows, averaging out you investment cost. If you’re investing in altcoins, all you do is DCA into Bitcoin or Ethereum (or stablecoins) and then use that to buy altcoins. Not only does DCA simplify your investment strategy, but it also helps manage emotional decisions. Here’s the best part: Many exchanges like Coinbase and Binance offer automatic DCA programs. You can set it up to invest weekly or monthly, making the process hassle-free. That’s step one. If you want to supercharge your DCA strategy: Buy the Hate Instead Buy the stuff that makes people at the dinner party roll their eyes. When you see almost everyone hating on an asset, treating it as dead… It might be time to explore. Hatred is often the most bullish indicator an asset can possibly have. (There are obvious caveats to this.) This, of course, applies outside of crypto. In the 1990s, Apple was a has-been. During the dot-com bust, Amazon was for two-bit idiots. In its early years, Tesla was comical. In the early 2000s, McDonald’s was dysfunctional. During the 2018 crypto bust, Nvidia was an OBVIOUS gutter gamble. The list goes on. The beauty of buying hated assets is you don’t have to buy a lot. If they’re truly hated, they’re massive asymmetrical bets. Buy just enough to forget about it.” – Chris C, AltucherConfidential Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

Eliminate Social Media Social media is THE #1 time waster in the 21st century. It doesn’t add any value to your life, teach you anything useful, or even connect you with other people in a meaningful way. Unless you’re using Facebook messenger to catch up with an old friend, avoid using social media for more than 60 minutes a day. It increases depression, decreases life satisfaction, and generally isn’t a valuable use of your time. You have better things to do. - Andrew Ferebee, Quora Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

Here’s the bet:Despite the company's current dominance in the app market, with its highly profitable App Store, Apple recognizes that the writing is on the wall…And that a shift towards AI-driven, appless phones is inevitable. Apple is well-positioned to lead the charge and maintain its competitive edge.Despite the potential challenges of replacing App Store revenue, Apple has opportunities to generate income in an appless future.(For example, expanding subscription-based services to new features comes to mind.)Ultimately, Apple’s focus on user experience and its commitment to privacy and security make it a strong contender in the appless market.No less…The tech giant’s ability to create seamless ecosystems and its loyal customer base will help ensure a smooth transition to this new paradigm. – Chris C.Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/

The advice I’m about to share may seem counterintuitive. But being pessimistic really does make you a better trader. Let me explain… Think about the time when you took a setup that met all the criteria of your trading plan. It was such an A+ setup that you were certain it would hit your profit target. And after calculating the risk-to-reward ratio… You were just waiting to see that extra 3.5% in your account balance. But no… The market ended up reversing on you and started racing towards your stop loss. All certainty and optimism you felt were replaced with a fear of losing. And by the time you were stopped out, you likely felt a mix of disappointment and frustration. Which you ended up carrying with you for the next trade you took… Sound familiar? Well, this is the danger of being optimistic about your trades. You become so tied to the outcome that you experience an emotional rollercoaster when you’re trading. And that’s why it pays to be pessimistic. If you visualise your trade consolidating, retracing on you and even stopping you out… You’ve already accepted the worst-case scenario in your mind. So you can trade without any stress, anxiety or frustration. And take your trading to a more professional level. Of course, this is easier said than done…. Author: Charlie Burton
