⚡️ Trading and health: the edge no one talks about
Most traders think edge = better entries, better models, better news flow.
But your body and brain are your real edge.
If they’re broken, nothing else works.
Here are the 5 habits that directly improve trading performance:
🟡 Sleep
7–9 hours of sleep. Sleep debt slows reaction, hurts memory, and makes you emotional. One all-nighter feels productive, but chronic fatigue means chasing noise and bad trades. Rested brains cut losses faster.
🟡 Screen breaks
12 hours at screens don’t make you sharper, they fry focus. Short breaks reset eyes, body, and attention. Without them, traders tunnel into bad setups. A quick walk can save from a dumb entry.
🟡 Exercise
Even 20 minutes of jogging or stretching shift blood back to the cortex — the part that handles planning and discipline. Skip movement and stress locks you in fear mode. Exercise = calmer trading.
🟡 Breathing
Before each trade, take 2–3 deep breaths. Sounds trivial, but it forces a pause. It slows impulses, makes you re-check reasoning, and kills FOMO. This habit alone can prevent dozens of emotional entries over time.
🟡 Food & hydration
Energy drinks and chips fuel mood swings, not focus. Balanced meals and hydration keep energy stable. Even 2% dehydration hurts cognition. Better fuel = better decisions.
Trading is a high-performance activity.
If a sprinter can’t run without training, why should a trader expect to perform without caring for the body that runs the brain?
This isn’t optional.
It’s one of the most overlooked edges in the market.

📈 How to approach key high-impact news
Not all news is equal. NFP, FOMC and CPI are the big three. They set the tone for the week and can flip the market in seconds. The trick is to know how each one behaves.
🟡 NFP – Always Friday 8:30am.
The whole week can drift waiting for it. Monday to Wednesday is usually cleanest. Thursday is low-probability chop.
On Friday don’t touch until 30 min after release. If FOMC comes the same week, NFP matters less.
🟡 FOMC – Wednesday 2pm.
A two-stage game: first spike at 2pm, another push around 2:30pm.
Real direction shows later in the afternoon (3–4pm). Never chase the first move. The edge comes from waiting.
🟡 CPI – 8:30am, usually Wednesday.
Day before is dead. Release day is violent. Stand aside for at least 30–60 min after print. Only then look for setups when the dust settles.
The lesson is simple: high-impact news isn’t about prediction. It’s about survival, patience, and letting the market show its hand before taking yours out of your pocket.
Jackson Hole this year is likely Powell’s last appearance on that stage, the final signal before September’s FOMC.
Theme is “Labor markets in transition.” Powell faces a tough balance: sticky inflation and strong wage growth argue for hawkish pushback, while slowing jobs data shows fragility that needs support.
Markets keep betting on cuts, but expectations shift with every data release. Odds of a September cut dropped from 99% last week to 73% after weak labor data and hotter PPI.
Jackson Hole rarely gives hard answers, but it sets the tone. In 2022 Powell needed 8 minutes to end a global rally. The question is whether he tries to shake markets again.
Whatever the message, rate cut bets in the next 6 months won’t vanish. Hawkish signals fade fast with political pressure building.
Crypto looks like it front-ran the fear - vol spiked, dips are being bought. But euphoria can quickly turn into weeks of grind lower if macro delivers the triggers.
The real question isn’t if the Fed cuts.
It’s whether you’re ready for the scenario where your bullish plan doesn’t play out.

❕ India bans real-money gaming
India’s parliament has passed a bill banning all real-money games - whether skill or chance based - in a move that threatens a $23B industry employing over 200,000 people.
🖱 Bill blocks transactions for real-money games and ads
🖱 Offenders risk 3 years jail or ₹10M ($115K) fine
🖱 Celebrities promoting such games also face penalties
🖱 Industry warns of 400+ companies shutting down
🖱 Stakeholders argue offshore gambling apps, not local startups, drive the harm
Supporters say it protects society from addiction, but critics warn it will kill regulated firms while fueling illegal offshore betting. The bill still needs upper house and presidential approval.
A $23B sector could vanish overnight, or just move underground.

👤 Larry Williams: the trader who turned $10K into $1.1M
In 1987, he entered the Robbins World Cup Trading Championship with $10,000.
One year later, the account showed $1,147,000.
An audited 11,376% return - still the record almost 40 years later.
And the story doesn’t end there. In 1997, his daughter, actress Michelle Williams, entered the same contest at just 17. With Larry’s guidance, she posted a 1,000% gain and won.
What makes him unique:
🟡 Systematic swing trader — built mechanical rules long before algos went mainstream.
🟡 Indicators — created the Williams %R, still widely used to measure overbought/oversold levels.
🟡 COT pioneer — one of the first to use futures positioning data to track institutional vs. retail flows.
🟡 Author — his book Long-Term Secrets to Short-Term Trading (1999) became a classic for swing traders.
🟡 Philosophy — markets are not random; trends persist longer than most expect.
His most famous strategy, the Volatility Breakout, is built on that idea:
When price exceeds yesterday’s range by a set factor, you enter. Simple rules, timeless logic.
Larry’s legacy isn’t just the record. It’s proof that discipline, clear systems, and the right mindset can create extraordinary results.
JUST IN: The US S&P August Services PMI reached 55.4, surpassing the estimate of 54.2.
• Manufacturing PMI recorded at 53.3, above the estimated 49.5.
• The Composite PMI was 55.4, up from the previous 55.1.
This unexpectedly strong PMI data could boost investor confidence, potentially leading to positive market movements in related sectors.Читать полностью…
📰 Trading the News - Simplified
Most traders overcomplicate fundamentals. In reality, three headlines move markets: FOMC, CPI, NFP.
🟡 FOMC: Higher rates = stronger currency. Lower rates = weaker currency.
🟡 CPI: More inflation = more hikes = stronger currency.
🟡 NFP: More jobs = strong USD. Fewer jobs = weak USD.
The trick isn’t predicting the news, it’s aligning your technical setups with the fundamental direction.

• China's actions involve the Cyberspace Administration, the NDRC, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
• The chip is specifically designed for the Chinese market.
This restriction could impact Nvidia's sales prospects and the technological development landscape in China, potentially affecting market dynamics internationally.Читать полностью…
