One of the big mistakes you can make in your trading career is not sharing your ideas.
“Who was I to put ideas out in the universe?”
“Why would I do that?”
“What was the ROI?”
“Why would anyone read what I wrote?”
These are all thoughts I had at various times.
But looking back, they were just excuses.
The more you share, the more you get back.
But even before getting anything back from the universe from writing, there’s a very immediate benefit from it.
Writing forces you to crystallize your ideas.
To turn them from fleeting thoughts into well-formed, actionable ideas.
I’m always grateful when someone benefits from something I write or from the podcast.
What’s really great, though, is when someone shares their ideas as a result.
That’s why I want to highlight the work of long-time list member, Bruce Tharp.
Here’s his latest post describing his futures strategy.
He describes one thing he learned from the podcast that “opened a whole new world of results” from his backtests.
Well done, Bruce, and thanks for sharing!

P.S. For a good book on the subject of sharing, I highly recommend Give and Take by Adam Grant.
