After I muted the group, my ears felt much clearer, and surprisingly, my mindset also stabilized a bit.
Before, whenever I heard "interest rate cuts are coming" or "interest rate hikes are coming," I’d get itchy to adjust my positions.
Honestly, I used macro as an alarm clock—ring it once, and I’d turn things around.
