Just wanna say this format is 1000x better than the old Twitter threads. Felt like you were trapping yourself in a box with the character limits and whatnot. This lets you really flesh out your ideas. Thanks!

I see many liked this comment on top.

Well you know I think the twitter theads are great to really concentrate the idea into their core aspects. This format allows me to write it down in order for it to be truly understood as well as write about more complex ideas.

I will keep them coming.

This is great Short Bear, thanks for sharing! Learning how to think and make decisions is such a critical tool in the toolbox.

I completely agree. How to think is an aspect most never think about, they just charge like a mad bull.

Great write up. In this day and age critical thinking is a rare skill and essential in the streets and in trading. Would love to see your thought process on review, feedback, and refinement when it comes to trading with maybe 1-2 examples.

Can you give actual examples to flesh out the mental model you have used? Key issues atleast for me has been - information overload, implementing probabilistic mindset i.e. too scared for losses rather developing edge which means losses should be lower than 50% .

Competence rank Model: Every day I talk to 30+ people and see hundreds of tweets with info. I need to rank these inputs and determine what is important to my journey, otherwise I would be the jack of all trades. It is about keeping the mental energy for what counts.

Map model: You see it clearly in my tweets, I can write 200 letters to explain something or I can write 2000 words like in these threads. it allows you to use as much as you need to make a decision and not more. Overcomplicate vs just right.

Probabilistic thinking: Making decisions within my trading and investment portfolio. I think this one is self-explanatory.

Mostly the game is 80% mental adding in the probabilities and that's how you win the game
