Unit 3 · Level 3 · The long-game identity
Review: the long-game mind
Think in cohorts of 100: single trades are coin flips from a weighted coin. Keep the wall up, because you are not your P&L in either direction. Run the ten-year test and defend decisions, not outcomes. And hold boredom like a position, because it is one. Together these four ideas turn trading from an emotional rollercoaster into a craft.
Free to play. No ads, no token, no account needed to start.
What you get asked
Match the moment to the long-game pillar that handles it
Each pillar is a pre-built answer to a moment that used to demand emotion. That's what an identity is: answers you don't have to improvise anymore.
System: 40% win rate, average win €300, average loss €100. A skeptic says "it loses most of the time, it's garbage." What's the cohort answer?
40 × €300 − 60 × €100 = +€6,000. Expectancy marries win rate to payoff size. That's the Trading course's math, now installed as instinct.
The ten-year test can only ever audit your ___, because the outcome was never in your control.
Inputs are yours; outcomes are rented from randomness. Every pillar in this unit is a different way of saying exactly that.
Which sentence comes from a trader with the wall UP between self and P&L?
Events described, self intact, process continuing. The other three have wired their identity to a number that wiggles, and it will wiggle.
What do all four long-game pillars have in common?
Outcomes are loud and mostly noise; process is quiet and entirely yours. Choosing the quiet thing over the loud thing, every day: that's the identity. One unit left, graduate. 🐜
The rest of this unit
Think in hundreds of trades, detach from the P&L, and make peace with doing nothing.
