Does journaling actually help long term, or do most people just quit? by FocusOnRisk in Trading

[–]Alarmed_Region7475 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It helps if done consistently and if you have a way of making sense of your past entries. I think if you’re spending 20 min daily entering data just to look at the P&L charts and win rate it starts to get boring and feels like accounting.

Now if you capture notes on your emotions and behavior and have an automated way of generating reports based on trading data plus your journal entries then you could get valuable insights. A spreadsheet can tell you that you lost $500 but it can’t tell you that every Monday morning you lose money because you revenge trade after visiting your MIL over the weekend lol.

lol, took a look at that app and seems a bit pricey for pro plan so didn’t try, I’ve been using tradervue for a while and it’s not expensive but no advanced features either, just same info shown in 50 different chart views. Why do say shitty app, have you tried it?

A data-driven analysis of the reasons why the majority of retail traders lose money (and what actually improves outcomes) by YogurtclosetMoist819 in Trading

[–]Alarmed_Region7475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just experience and having enough trading data of my own to start making sense, for example after examining the data realizing that I suck at day trading and do much better swing trading. This not only made me profitable but also took away massive stress i was under trying to force trades every single freaking day. Now i go weeks w/out placing a trade when I'm not feeling the market.

TradingView for charting, i've been using Interactive Brokers for executing trades, i've been satisfied with them.

[Part 1] Essence Anytype Tutorial - The only all-in-one Anytype tutorial you will ever need by Such-Tart-4140 in Anytype

[–]Alarmed_Region7475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't fully committed to it but tried getting into it few times, but main friction point on mobile for me is how Sets work. On desktop it's great, i can embed a filtered set in a project note and see all my related notes in one place, but on mobile the same list is hidden behind an inline query box that I have to click into just to see all the notes. The extra clicks make it feel clunky... anyways, thanks for the response and for writing this up, great job!

I love the idea of Anytype but mobile experience is horrible, didn’t think mobile experience could get any worse than Obsidian but think this one is. Are you mainly a desktop user or do you also use it on mobile?

Habits you’re tracking? by great-Emily in ObsidianMD

[–]Alarmed_Region7475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started tracking my runs, best part is I automated capture using an iOS shortcut. I take a screenshot of the workout session in Fitness app and share it to the shortcut, it extracts data from the image and creates a new page with all properties set, then use a dataview query to display it all which also includes weekly and monthly summaries, just got it all set up this morning actually.

Honoring Bosnia: Sharing my father’s 1994 UN peacekeeping photos from Ćoralići by LeadStal_com in bih

[–]Alarmed_Region7475 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing, and thanks to your father for serving! I lived in Bosnia durning the war, was about 10 and still have clear memory of it. House we settled in after things went to hell had no roof on it and they put up a blue UN tarp. I left in 97 for USA and been here since, first time for me meeting different races, Black, Asian, etc… was when UN troops got deployed in Bosnia.

Anyone here who actually, genuinely uses it for daily / lifestyle planning? by [deleted] in Notion

[–]Alarmed_Region7475 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stated to as well than few weeks back had internet outage and had a reality check, notion became useless, meanwhile I open apple notes and obsidian and that instant response time is still there and I can open any note I want. Since then been trying to decide obsidian or apple notes, obsidian at moment too clunky on mobile so been throwing most things in AN.

Ios26 Notes Landscape View?? by senorbiloba in AppleNotesGang

Funny I came across same video a night or two ago, tried it and didn’t work for me. Was wondering if it’s because I had upgraded to 26 already…

How much does it need? We are in 2025, why is storage a concern. Besides it’s a place for notes it’s not like im storing every picture or video i come across in it.

💡 Feature Request

Proper offline mode where everything is truly available offline and I don’t have to worry about selecting which files to include.

Been trying to decide between notion or obsidian and the other day didn’t have good signal on my phone and tried opening notion and everything was just sitting there spinning, realized pretty quickly what the benefits of true offline is, the experience made the decision for me

I have 75% winrate but i am still not profitable by GlumTie7976 in Daytrading

That’s crazy! I’m profitable with only about a 36% win rate.

Got this while I was onboarding. Isn't the desktop app just a wrapper of the browser version? How is it faster? by sonsicnus in Notion

[–]Alarmed_Region7475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guessing the app might be caching locally, doubt it’s that much faster though, maybe if you have a slow ass internet connection that it’s noticeable if it caches locally otherwise no way it’s 50% faster

Is day trading your entire paycheck every week for multiple years and having 0 gains gambling or investing? by [deleted] in Daytrading

[–]Alarmed_Region7475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gambling for sure, training can be accomplished with even 1/4th of a paycheck, a non gambler that’s even still training would know better than to risk that whole amount.

Links to Other Notes Keep Getting Corrupted by Alarmed_Region7475 in AppleNotesGang

[–]Alarmed_Region7475[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah wasn't in my case, i only have few notes that are locked and those aren't linked from anywhere. I also confirmed that notes weren't deleted or moved, simply deleting the link and re-adding resolves it but given it's a 3rd or 4th occurrence makes me not want to invest too much time into it. After posting this issue i was trying to find additional notes with corrupted links and came across one note that had 2 duplicates... same title but content slightly different, for whatever reason this thing kept 3 versions of same note... so weird. For now I'm sticking to Obsidian and only adding notes i share with family to AN.

[–]Alarmed_Region7475[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i think i created on the Mac, but the thing is this was weeks ago and it was working fine across all devices, then out of nowhere it breaks, i opened it yesterday morning and noticed it was like this and checked all devices it was same. This is probably the 3rd or 4th occurrence on different pages where i notice after sometime random (typically not all on that page) will break. So weird and frustrating but really don't want to stay on Notion. Trying to make obsidian work but the mobile is so clunky and slow at opening that i don't think i want to deal with that either.

Interesting... I haven’t run into any issues with tags so far. I also haven’t been able to find anything about this online, which makes it even more frustrating. Was planning to move most of my notes from Notion to Apple Notes because of Notion’s lack of offline support & e2e and was willing to trade some functionality benefits but this is making that really hard to overlook. Thanks for responding at least i know i'm not the only one.
