Hi Cat, correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think it's regarded as simple spreadbetting if you eventually make a living from trading. If you have another job but make regular moderate profit from trading then you might be taxed for capital gains ...

At the end of the day, if you are known to be lazy, uncommitted &/or the gambling type then people close to you will not take you seriously & rightly so. It's up to you to prove em all wrong. On the other hand, if you're known to be the opposite ...

I would call it the 'treasure' pattern. As in X marks the spot! it's where the pips are buried...it clearly shows this on your treasure map/chart!

Hi Alien, don't be too hard on Kosmo...he did ask "how do you find the balance", which I probably still haven't answered Good luck.

Ok Kosmo, so how do I find the balance? I could say that it finds you if you let it but this is too philosophical. What I will say is this; Humility is beautiful & hubris/arrogance is ugly. In life you always wanna increase your humility & decrease ...

Hi Kosmo, I would suggest that successful retail traders have found a nice balance. It would have been part of their journey to control these conflicting emotions. Peace out.

Very nice, when did u meet Bono? I assume he wanted some trading advise

Yes indeed, it's like me saying "sorry Cat I gotta go, I see a BAD signal forming, let me take it!" ...your right

The previous days highs, good stuff.

Greetings buddy, may I say with respect... 'something like 50k or 100k', what does that even mean... how about 500k instead...but then what about slippage? If people are struggling with a $500 account then why on earth would they think they'll do ...

Have your tried google translate?

It sounds like you may have created unnecessary pressure on yourself. Not ideal when trading so you must get rid of it, tell them to back off until your ready. After 5 years of no man's land it may be time to step away from the charts for a few ...

Hi Cat, I read some of your posts with great interest, I agree completely that putting serious effort into learning this craft can cause friction with friends & family. I think its important to be honest with them by telling them that this project ...

Hi, I would avoid these major news releases, just trade afterwards when the excitement passes. If you are eager however then you better have a decent strategy in place...some kind of method to get in & out in times of high volatility. No point in ...

Nice. I use normal tick volume in my trading & wish my ctrader platform had volume profile though as I would love to test it's potential in my approach. I tried converting .mq volume profiles before but they always turned out bad. There is also ...

If you can tame the dragon then it will.

Greetings, If its only PRO traders you want answers from then you might be waiting a very long time LOL! you'll have to bump this thread every couple of days for a few years!
