Well good news/ bad news, got head hunted by a recruiter, and will be getting a huge salary bump, to start working at Fidelity. But my role is going to make it pretty much impossible to trade forex, due to regulatory compliance. Back to dividend ...

It would serve you better to open a prop trading account before a loan.

Going over a year without a profitable month would be a key indicator that you really should stop trading. So this is blowing up your account 12 times in a row. Whatever you start the month with, you end up losing it all, over and over and over ...

Fixing your own mistakes and biases are going to make you a better trader. Always work to improve, learn, be better, trade better.

Also a lot of overlap with long term successful traders as well as poker/card players and competitive gamers. Another skill set that is developed in combat scenarios, taught as the OODA loop, viable in ground, air, sea combat encounters.

First day trading, already hit the upgrade goal, $20k account next week and at least a $1,700 payout (so far) incoming. Also still hilariously at 100% image

Sure it is possible, but likely for most people? No. Have I done it before? Yes. Have I lost money trying to "chase" this idea, Oh yeah. My advice after 8 years; Look for good trades/setups. Never trade for the money, in fact, secret mental hack ...

Not really a scalper, I tend to hold trades at least for 4+ hours, usually 8-18h+. I will do faster trades with more volatility if I am available. Like last week I took 10 trades at 100% over a 6-8 hour period because of how active it was.

Your mindset is the most important part, trader psychology is the key that most lack, and what keeps them from success. Maintain your locus of control.

Yeah, don't go past 1:50, it sets you up to have to do a lot of compromises otherwise. Capital at risk, margin, drawdown, money management.

This was last week in focus: image this was a good week about a 30% ROI The reason my profits look like this, is because I scale into winning trades, so my profits go up quick on days when I am right, like how much I made on Friday, relative to ...

Yeah, possible, people can have really good weeks, I just had one, relative to my last few image this was a good week about a 30% ROI The reason my profits look like this, is because I scale into winning trades, so my profits go up quick on days ...

Finally got some time to trade this week, work has been crazy busy. These are times when I want to make the transition to a full-time trader lol. image image
