"riverbanks", love it, so true. once u can block out the noise/fomo, u realize this, but takes time/pain.

- RBOB flows heading in the right direction for that trade (even tho positioning is nowhere for me)

- Coffee positioning is there (Cocoa looks even better on positioning and flows but has been a heart-breaker for a while - sugar was the same until it worked, but had to be fast/nimble there)

- Yen positioning remains on the floor near max extremes

Even after realizing this I still, at times, catch myself having drifted into the shallows. I wrote this piece as a reminder to myself, as much as to share what I have learned with others. Wonderful to hear that you recognize your own experience in the metaphor.

Great feedback on flows/positioning. I suspect the late Feb/early Mar low in Cocoa will hold. We're currently long with a tight stop. Question for me is whether we retest that earlier low, or continue drifting higher from here. Let's see ...

Hi Mike. This is massively inspiring, and a welcome grounding message that I believe I will do my utmost to put on repeat. I look forward to getting more active here, and learning more about Macro Ops in general. Many thanks!
