"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.

The "vix" in the stock market

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

A few of the guys I day traded with would watch it, just as one indicator among many. A lot depends upon the time frame of your trading.

I used to work at a place that ran a 2-week school for day traders. Most of what we taught involved the things to not do, like the common newbie mistakes.

One good thing to remember about indicators is that almost all of them use past prices as part of the calculation. New guys tend to think that they are all magic ways to see the future. But if price is part of it, then you're looking at the past, not the future. An experienced trader who just reads price action can know everything that 101 indicators can tell you, because they are based upon the same price movement.

It's a CBOE index option, so would check out the CBOE webpage, www.cboe.com. Put "vix" in the search window and get tons of info. As far as trading strategies, I'm sure there are many there and elsewhere. I have not traded the index or used it myself.

My mentor told me the vix is what keeps the rich from losing.

Being rich is what keeps the rich from losing.

Most intraday trading is now automated. Computers don't have emotions; most trading programs will buy when price dips quickly and sell when price jumps up quickly. That's the exact opposite of human nature. When it was just humans doing the trading, we had a lot more intraday volatility.
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
