"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Oh and if anyone have time..

try Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Jesse Livermore.

Also a great read.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Don't think this book applies anymore, it is more about reading order flow back in the day where there weren't auto spreaders and so many algos. Doesn't work anymore, though it is a good story just for the read.

Van Tharp, read him too, don't rate him, good writer, interesting, but better books out there.

Try reading the Alchemy of Finance by George Soros.

Market sold off today. Lets see if we get the next selloff so we can confirm a small market correction.

Gaucho, can you elaborate on what that book is about?

Sure.

He is a global macro trader (which means you have to have an understanding of macroeconomics). It teaches you to learn to get inside the mind of the market and look for specific events that could alter price (inflection points). A lot talk about 'reflexivity' when they talk about George Soros, but that is not really how he makes his money day to day or week to week. His 'real time experiment' in the book is much more useful. To get real-time information on trading from the best fund manager the world has ever seen, cannot be beaten IMO.

As for trading shorter-term on 'technical analysis', I would recommend reading this guys entire blog, he hasn't posted much lately, but is about as good as it gets on shorter-term price action trading: http://tremblinghandtrader.typepad.com/

Look for his couple of posts on 'traditional technical analysis' pretty much rips it to shreds and explains what you need to do to learn to really read price action.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I trade but I'm an armchair warrior for the time being. I've cashed out since I can't be actively investing at this time. It requires time and patience to succeed which I can't give right now.

Still following the market though.

If you're into technicals at all, I would highly recommend the Candlestick Course by Nison. I trade Forex and am more of a long-term trader, using the 4 hour and daily charts primarily, and candlesticks provide a great reflection of market sentiment.
