The biggest lie in investing is that you can turn off emotions.
No. We are not robots.
Conservative strategies are boring.
Boredom accumulates.
Then one breakdown — and the system collapses.
I didn't realize this right away.
At first, I tried to 'be disciplined.'
Then — just ignore the emotions.
Neither option works.
That's why I made the third one.
I signed a contract with dopamine.
Dopamine is allowed.
But it has no access to the foundation.
No access to long-term positions.
No right to touch the system.
For emotions — a separate space.
Limited in time.
Limited in volume.
With understandable exit scenarios.
This could be intraday.
This could be a bot.
This could be a small active part.
The essence is not in the tool.
The essence is in role separation.
The system earns.
Dopamine is entertained.
Capital survives.
I do not fight with emotions.
I just don't let them take the wheel.
It is precisely after this decision
long-term stops collapsing,
and the discipline becomes natural,
and not forced.
Dopamine is a poor manager.
But a permissible guest.
