I mentioned something yesterday about being pulled back to baseline.

Wanted to explain specfic mechanics behind it.

Stanford neuroscientists discovered that your brain operates like a thermostat.

Not a metaphor but a literal neurological function.

It maintains a set point for everything - body temperature, stress levels, income.

When conditions push you above or below that set point, your subconscious activates corrective mechanisms to bring you back to "normal."

This is why lottery winners return to their previous financial state within a few years.

Same opportunities. Same money. Different internal ceiling.

How This Shows Up In Trading

Your conscious mind is analyzing liquidity and marking bias.

Your subconscious is running a program that says

"we make $4k a month" or whatever your current set point is.

The moment your account starts exceeding that number, the thermostat kicks in.

Not dramatically but subtly.

You overtrade after a green week.

You size up at the wrong time.

You find reasons to skip setups that would have hit.

And two weeks later you're back to baseline, wondering if the strategy stopped working.

The strategy didn't change. Your thermostat did it’s job.

Why I Rarely Discount Iron Forged

Honest answer - it attracts the wrong people.

Traders looking for cheap information instead of actual transformation.

People who buy things at 50% off and never open them because the low price made it feel disposable.

That's not who this is for.

But a few times a year I open the door wider for traders who've been paying attention.

Who have the technical piece handled but know something else needs to shift.

This weekend is that window. 75% off through Sunday.

Last discount was July {{first_name | default:}}.

Next time you see one, the base price will probably be higher.

Talk tomorrow,
