Getting Centered, The China Pivot, & Commodity Breakouts

In this episode, I talk about the discipline of "getting centered"—why nothing good ever comes from FOMO or fear, and how I train myself to sit on my hands until the setup is perfect. I break down my recent long positions in Chinese equities (betting on the sentiment pendulum swinging back) and why I am seeing massive opportunities in commodities like Glencore while everyone else is chasing US AI.


Key Topics:



The Mental Game: Why I don't trade unless I'm centered and acting with "aggression and firmness" rather than anxiety.



The China Thesis: The AI arms race and buying when the market is "uninvestable."



Commodities: How I use custom price-action baskets to spot breakouts in hated sectors.



Market Outlook: Why I'm waiting for better entries on US Tech/AI.
