No idea how to start so I will just start

Quit my job recently to attempt trading for a living. I'm young and don't have much to lose (except money )

I use basic price action and emas, and a macd. 3/10

I scalp and and swing

got about 2% return this morning and a little hit on my swing account.

Currently short the yen (u/j)


Some hesitation at the top, long should start taking profits or scaling out. Divergence on the macd

good luck!
it will be tough nevertheless.
esp when you get that buzz in your head early in the morning and still have to focus to make a living.
don't know how big is your account, but it's do-able if you have the right determination.
who's your broker?

very wrong idea buddy, grab a job soon. ​ and keep learning side by side, consider at least 5 years experience before you can call your self a trader.

Alright here was my one and only trade in the morning

Pretty simple set up. Price on the hourly was forming a channel and rejecting the highs so I shorted. Got out near support, could have gotten more, but I feel like I managed it well. I can't show my exact entries and exits on mbtrading so I will just use tradingview.

Lets see what the ny session brings
