I've got heart rate on about 100 of my logged games now, split by whether my average
heart rate that session was below or above my own median:
• Calm sessions (lower HR): 34–19, 64%
• High-effort sessions (higher HR): 31–23, 57%
So the harder I'm visibly grinding — chasing everything, adrenaline up , the worse I
do. When I keep the heart rate down and play within myself, I win more. Same paddle,
same partners.
(There's also a hint I fade late , 60% in my first 30 minutes vs 55% after , but I
don't have enough long sessions yet to trust that half, so I'm not reading much into
it.)
It matches the feeling that my unforced errors spike the moment I press. Anyone else
just play better loose? And how do you actually keep yourself calm mid-match when it's
tight , breathing, resetting between points, something else?
I built a script to manage my own portfolio that does two things together: scores each holding on a 9-point quality framework (growth, margins, ROE, debt, valuation vs. analyst targets), and calculates the tax impact of trimming — short-term vs. long-term gain, tax cost today, and days until a position qualifies for long-term rates.
I'm turning it into a product and want to validate demand before I license market data and do the compliance work. No product to show yet — just the concept and a waitlist: https://trim-smart.com
Two things I'd love feedback on:
I've been managing my own portfolio for years and noticed something: every tracker I use (Sharesight, Snowball, my brokerage) is great at showing what I own, but none of them help with the decision that actually costs me money — when to sell.
Two mistakes I keep catching myself almost making:
So I started building a tool for myself that scores each holding on quality (growth, margins, debt, valuation vs. analyst targets) and then layers on the tax math — short-term vs. long-term gain, the cost of selling today, and "X days until this turns long-term."
Question for the room: how do you currently make trim decisions? Gut feel, a spreadsheet, or do you just not optimize for taxes at all? Trying to figure out if I'm the only one who finds this annoying.
(If folks are interested I'm happy to share what I've built — it's free while in testing.)
