Trading is for CHUMPS

lol jk.

 

I'm a 20 years old college student interested in trading emini future indexes or forex and I've been devoting a few hours a day for about 4 weeks now to studying everything i can about trading. I've been using chartgame.com to practice using indicators.

 

What i've noticed, when i use the MACD indicator in chartgame, it only seems to work about 35% of the time. Most of the time when i play, it just feels as if i'm gambling. This has caused me to become very discouraged but not completely!

 

Some questions:

 

1) what indicators seem to work best (consistently) for you?

 

2) how long did it take for you to develop a good "flow" when trading within your platform?

 

3) where are some good reading material on this website that i can use to learn?

 

4) would a $3000 account be sufficient for trading emini futures or forex for when i eventually go live?

 

i'll have more questions when i think of more ;)

Keep playing chart game. Eventually, you'll be enlightened by the discouragement or you'll find something non trading related that is not as discouraging to you.

 

1. Try them all and figure it out.

2. Makes no sense.

3. Everywhere. Read the good stuff and the bad stuff.

4. I think most brokers will allow you to daytrade 1 emini with $1000. Forex brokers will take like $50, or maybe even lower. Either way, $3000 is not enough money to hop in the ring and slug it out with anyone. But, if you feel the need to try, I trade oil and gold. please deposit it there.

Cripes!!! What is it with college students... don't you have enough on your plate? Aren't you in debt up to your ears already?

 

If you're discouraged after 4 weeks... good, all the better. Take the $3K and travel during the summer months... get some good out of it.

Firstly I would advice you to practice trading in training (demo account). There you'll be able to find what indicator best fits your trading style and apply material your read to the trading. I use Hotforex demo simple but working stuff that simulates live trading. Don't hurry to go live, it can leave bad or frustrating experience for you so you can even withdraw with any speculating activity.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
