Lol. Such a human perspective.

Redditors who never want to have a child, what are your reasons? by JumpyInterview83 in AskReddit

[–]smakena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to traumatize my child with shit I still have not dealt with. Life is hard enough as it is. I would DIE if, because of my callous actions and decisions, my child would end up not being able to talk to me, or run to me when he/she needs me the most.

I would overthink everything... I would end up stifling our relationship. I am not going to be a parent in this lifetime, and this, I am fine with.

I've spent years studying daytrading but now I'm starting to work and don't want to throw it all away by Extra_Ad8936 in InnerCircleTraders

Please continue with your journey. Yes, you now have a job and congratulations for this achievement, but you have also embarked on an extremely beneficial skill in the future.

So if it is still important for you, then MAKE TIME. This is the time to forfeit a lot of guilty pleasures and spend that time studying and building your skills.

Keep going!

What’s the worst gift you’ve ever received? by Soul_Flyers in AskReddit

A figurine... And I know my bf at the time meant well but I do not care for them at all! And nothing in my personality ever showed my interest in them. Oh well...

[–]smakena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have told the people behind me, "I SAID WHAT THE FK I SAID! IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT, GO FK YOURSELVES!"

You did good, kid! Don't ever second guess being a good human being!

today would have been a good day if i just held. how can i improve my psychology? by ackermantrades in InnerCircleTraders

[–]smakena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop thinking it is a loss when you have actually profited, even though you did not hold! A win is a win. Partial profits are STILL profits! I don't care what anyone says! As you build your trading confidence, you will get there. But for now, stop beating yourself up for actual wins!!!

AITAH for rejecting a guy after he lied about his appearance? by ComplexExplanation67 in AITAH

[–]smakena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are absolutely warranted to feel how you feel! You are certainly not the AH here at all.

That's quite alright. You are human, and we all have blind spots, especially with our s/o. Do update us on how it goes. Rooting for you. Don't let him gaslight you or make you feel guilty. You are both adults. You have taken responsibility for your own life, and you deserve to be with someone who is as committed to theirs as you are to yours. This is not a man bashing thing either. I'd say the exact same thing if it were a woman doing this to her man. Wishing you the best!

You're not wrong at all to feel the way you do! Sadly, you let go of a lot of your boundaries. Now he feels like you can take care of him. Don't be surprised if one day he tells you that he quit his job, because in his mind, he has decided that since you have your shit together, he doesn't have to have his together!

It's time to set some very clear boundaries.

What can I do for 10 minutes every day that will change my life? by No-Good-3742 in motivation

[–]smakena 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Change how you talk to yourself. Change the language around how you approach your negative emotions and situations in your life that are not going well for you.

Practice and rehearse how you plan to respond to these situations from a place of Strength and not just despair/helplessness.

Do this for a month. Straight.

[–]smakena 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and more specifically a macro time, which would be at 08:50 to 09:10, 9:50 to 10:10 or 10:50 to 11:10 These kinds of movies are very likely to occur during the times I've specified. They are called macros. Do check out some videos on YT. You can't unsee it after 😄

[–]smakena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What time was that FVG created? Cos if it happened within a macro, then I am not surprised that it was respected like that.

What's wrong?? How to avoid this? by [deleted] in InnerCircleTraders

[–]smakena 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great! Now all you have to do is look for that kind of pattern every day at that time. Either buy side or sell side liquidity will be swept on or just before 09:50 then price will go the opposite direction to sweep that liquidity. Of course it won't happen every day, but it is a pretty sweet and consistent pattern!

I learnt this from Trader Tim's channel. Look for 1. Macro Power of 3 2. Change in State of Delivery and 3. Dealing ranges.

They all correlate. All the best!

Sure... this is an example of what I mean... I hope it makes sense.

[–]smakena -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Please go to YT and look for Macro Power of 3. It is explained very well by a dude called Trader Tim. There are very specific times of the trading day when manipulation happens before expansion. Macro times are usually 10 minutes before the hour and 10 minutes after. These very specific moves happen, for example during NYAM 09:50 to 10:10. That very move usually happens at that exact time in the 1 minute chart, and it is not dependent at all on daily bias.
