There's a difference between proving and improving, and it shows up everywhere in this game.
Proving is loud.
It's ego lifting the PR for the camera instead of the plan. It's over-sizing a trade because the group chat's watching. It's shouting your entry price. It's caring what the comments say.
Proving burns.
Improving is quiet.
It's logging the rep at RPE 7 even though you could've hit RPE 9. It's sizing the trade at 1% even though the setup looks A+. It's not posting the 3% green day. It's asking what went wrong on the winners.
Improving compounds.
The HR standard
We put DON'T PROVE in strikethrough and IMPROVE in neon green because that's actually the rule. Anything you're doing to prove something to someone watching is a tax on your compound curve. Anything you're doing to improve — no audience, no receipt — is a deposit.
The scoreboard pays you in multiples on the deposits. It charges interest on the performances.
Pick one.
