I Know Kung Fu
There's no download button for knowledge...
Remember that scene in The Matrix where they load the kung fu program directly into Neo?
Like, he needs to learn how to fight, and they plug him all the “fighting knowledge” directly into him?

There is no secret indicator handed down from the Knights Templar.
There is no hidden algorithm built by rogue data scientists in the 70s.
None of that!
The real learning, the stuff that actually sticks, the stuff that works…
It’s in three things:
Watching what’s happening
Seeing macro traders in action
Studying real events as they unfold
