How I Lost 4% of My Trading Account in Just 24 Hours — My Biggest Lesson Yet!

Trading can be exhilarating, but sometimes, it delivers harsh lessons. This is my story of a brutal 4% loss and the mistakes that led to it. A Risky Trade Gone Wrong If you’ve ever felt the sting of market volatility, you’re not alone. Yesterday, I spotted a fair value gap setup and jumped into six risky trades, believing technical analysis would be enough to guide me. But today, the market had…

Did you notice that there were bombs in the "World Trade Center?"

Why did Building 7 collapse when no plane hit that building? 🤔

A chilling truth often overlooked in history books: The Arab slave trade was a brutal and inhumane system that lasted for centuries. One of the most horrific practices involved young African boys, aged 8 to 12, who were subjected to castration to prevent reproduction. This barbaric act was often fatal, with an estimated 60% of boys succumbing to the procedure due to blood loss and infection.

Our ancestors endured unimaginable suffering, their bodies mutilated and their spirits broken, all so that a foreign religion could spread. This dark chapter in history is a testament to the resilience of the African people and a stark reminder of the atrocities committed in the name of power and greed.

Let’s honor their sacrifice by educating ourselves and others about this often-silenced history. By understanding the past, we can work towards a more just and equitable future.

hi! hope your having a good day/night/timezone/etc.! u got any writing tips (like how to not lose motivation/use up as much of it as u can while u have it, any ways to get the words flowing/“get in the writing mood” that have worked for u) for any of ur fellow fic writers? (idk if this’s been asked b4 (it seems like a common question lmao), but if it has, ‘pologies, lolol ^^)

i have a few that i've been thinking up to try and post!!

remember that you aren't on a deadline to write, and to take the time you need. no one wants to read something you rushed, let alone do YOU want to read it. and it REALLY matters if you love what you're writing. you'll kill your motivation trying to keep up with something like that!! if you only had time to write 300 or you had a great day and wrote like 3000, you're doing great either way!!!

there's a lot to keep up with when you're writing, and you have to remember and understand all of it. if you're trying to write while you're tired/upset/etc, you'll likely end up with something you're not that proud of. (granted, art is art, and sometimes these emotions can create something beautiful or meaningful). take metal breaks so you can come back to your work with a fresh mind, and don't overexert yourself. you'll remember and understand more if you treat your writing time like you would when you're studying. sometimes i make flashcards to remember characters, places, events, etc.

sometimes i can get too analytical with my writing, or it starts to become flat? if that makes sense? meaning, like... i'm putting words on paper rather than delving into the story. too many "they felt this way" and not enough "Character A turns to face the man that had changed their entire life with the single shot of a bullet, careless to what damage he could have caused. It's haunting to see that the man is simply that: a man. Not a monster as they had imagined, laying awake at night and wondering what their father had seen in his final moments. He's just a man." what helps with this is putting myself into the shoes of a narrator, remembering that i am telling the story as if i already know what's happening (even if I don't know where I'm going with a scene yet). i imagine that my reader is right there next to me and i'm telling them the story in real time like we're sitting around a campfire telling ghost stories, or that i'm the quirky narrator of a book they just picked up.

During times where i'm losing inspiration or feel like i'm in a loop, i like to go back to my favorite medias and spend some time with them. i recently rewatched Gravity Falls, the Sea Beast, and the Adam Project, and it was a fun mental break that got me into the writing mood. i try to find similar media to what i'm writing at that time. if i want a scene focused on funny banter or a comedic effect, i read or watch comedy. if i want to write a scary scene, i'll watch a horror movie. etc etc. "studying" your favorite media and putting yourself into your fav writer's writing shoes is a great way to improve your own writing. think about why that joke was funny, what the set up was that made it that way, and if it would have been a different joke if another character said it (Gravity Falls is one of the best media you can use for this, but really, reading mysteries in general can help)

physical exercise, if you can. getting your blood flowing and treating your body well!! when i was in band, we used to do "body warm ups" set to music, and i still do them to this day. it gets me awake and alert while also letting me listen to fun music before i write

Hidan tosses an old, worn out book he found at Kakuzu.

"What's this?" Kakuzu caught it easily, black wire recoiling back under his skin to reattach his arm. A quick fuuton-raiton trick blew the dust off of its cover- and Kakuzu was careful to hold it out so that any dry residues were blown away from himself. He shook the book by its spine, dangling it so further dust would fall out before he would crack open its pages. "......An ukiyo-e collection..." He glanced at the back of Hidan's head, thoughts storming behind his eyes yet not a comment made.

I had all these ideas about literacy in the different Eorzeans city-states and which are more or less literate and the demographics and what drives those rates etc but I feel like it's a little boring and excessive (the main point being that literacy rates post ARR would be on the rise across the board as different leaders could afford more time and money to education instead of Garleans and/or Dragons.)

So instead take these shorter, more interesting headcanons!

Limsans invented the Spelling Bee bc Merlwyb found it hard to convince older pirates that reading and writing were valuable skills but COULD convince them that it will be sooooo satisfying when someone finally beats Carvellain's smug ass in a contest of words

Occasionally, sponsoring education for the POOR YOUTH will come into vogue in Ul'dahn society and the upper class will briefly sponsor schools, but the only one doing it consistently is Godbert Manderville. Unfortunately, while a Mandervillian Classic Education IS excellent, the mannerisms among graduates are... a deterrent to enrollment

Don't ask about Gridania, Gridania's a fucking mess. Hope someone in your community can teach you, join a crafter's guide or gods help you, you're gonna need to ask the Moogles

hmmmmmmm damn I'm having trouble here

this is assuming that Istimaethoriel didn't, for whatever reason. I figure Lavellan knows how to read obviously, but didn't learn how to write in Trade. They can trade writing lessons for lessons in Elvish
