When numbers are good FOMO hits hard. I'll be ready to jump in on a call, even though my analysis says it was overbought. How do you guys avoid emotional trades like that? Any tips for staying disciplined when the hype train is rolling?

I always remind myself that there will be other opportunities. It's easy to get caught up in the moment, but missing out on one trade isn't the end of the world. I'd rather protect my capital and wait for a setup that aligns with my risk tolerance.

Honestly, I sometimes use FOMO to my advantage. When everyone's piling into a trade, that's usually a sign that it's nearing its peak. I look for opportunities to fade the hype and potentially profit from the inevitable pullback. It's a risky strategy, but it can be very rewarding.

What is the advice on what feedback to leave for a peer who really sucks at everything y'all have worked together on? It's about the time where everyone on my team requests feedback from each other and I'm nervous for it coming up. My manager knows that everything I've worked w her on I end up doing 90% of the work when it's meant to be split so it is a known issue. We're both at level 3 so are genuinely peers. She seems like a nice person but i have 0 positive work feedback tbh

Admin has to know she treats the kids this way too. One teacher has to work with her door closed to not hear the yelling all day.

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.
