The 14k steps are good! I would add add at least some pushups to your daily routine, maybe core too like sit-ups or crunches, body weight stuff.

This actually sounds really fun!!!

You should go live an hour a day too, this way you don’t get too lonely and you have someone to ramble off on the markets to aside from yourself!!

I would tune in for sure everyday!!!

Love this idea, can’t wait to see how it goes and also how this prop is! I have never used props but have been thinking about it just to have some stress free fun plus I love the idea of trading 20 accounts at a time with super small size, but all I hear are horror stories and all I see are retard influencers pushing props getting paid not by trading but by referral.

Oh yes, the idea is to get progressively more Bateman-morning ritual over time. I’ll get out a bit for sure, I think locking one in a hotel room is a bit too much. Good way to go stir crazy.

I never thought to use a Sim, but it really is the most stress free way to trade tbh

Alati and Young reminded me of first recorded cases of the Ophiocordyceps Complex. One, "Daniel the Stylite (c. 409–493) lived on his pillar for 33 years after being blessed by and receiving the cowl of St. Simeon the Stylite." Apparently the cowl was infected with spoors, or else, the unfortunate gentleman was congenially unable to say no to a "double-dare" no matter the consequences and inconsequential the payoff. Although, it was latter rumored his abbot purposely introduced young Daniel to Simeon, who was reputed to have the power of getting strangers to do as he said just by issuing simple commands, in the very hope he could induce the irascible young monk, who no amount of dissuasion could convince him to stop gambling away the monastery's wine, candlesticks and since his induction ever empty goblets, to give pole-sitting a shot. In any event, Daniel, despite his overpowering compulsion to perch clutching onto a high thin pillar in all weather where the winds blew his cowl so mercilessly he was often left naked for long stretches, eventually lost the bet. Simeon, we are told by multiple biographers, one of which was a disciple, outlasted him by three years. This despite his abbot visiting and encouraging him to keep living the "stylite-lifestyle" as long as he could for the "honor" of the monastery. Loser. Yet, when asked by the local affiliate of Tablet News if he was disappointed Daniel had located his pillar several leagues away, he replied, "No, the distance travelled was but a minor vex, and everyone that knew Daniel fervently hoped he held out for as long as possible! Because we believe in Daniel!" Other contemporaries, were heard to grouse it was more likely due to the tourist attraction revenues of a naked-monk-defecating-on-a-pole enabling the boys back at the monastery to splurge on mead, and suckling pig roasts, had more to do with his abbot's visits and encouragements to Daniel that he 'go for the win' no matter how long it took. The rest of that interview is now lost in the mists of history. Anyway, that's enough historical edification concerning great gamblers and their motivations for now.
