Hey, I know how you feel, I've been in your position about 6 months ago. Whats really important is self-confidence and strive to earn money.

Try to focus full time, watch these youtube videos and join forums which will help!!!, You will come across mistakes, bad investments and other problems in your way, everyone does.

What I found helpful when I started out was just buying small amounts and then re-investing the money right away that I made.

When I made the same amount of money I invested at the beginning and then continued with the money that I already made on the platform.

Another thing that helped me to start out was this Programm (TradeMiner). My friend recommended it to me. I didn't really believe him at first because the website and the program look dated like it's out of the 2008's. But then he showed me how the system works and I Decided to try it out for myself, I bought the package and I haven't regretted it. The thing chose the time and right investments that I should invest in. It worked both for Stocks and Forex, There were minimal failures and 85% of the time I made money. In the first week if using the app I increased my profit by 200% and by the end of the month I was making more than 5k $. Hope you all are on a way to becoming future millionaires and have a good time trading.

Hi guys 

My name is Varghese and I'm. New to trading. I'm currently attending a course on FX trading and am keen to participate and learn from the collective experience on this forum. 

I have limited investing experience in equity and crypto but want to develop my skills in trading to a point that I could actually be considered a  Professional.

Hey guys! I've been reading a lot of books from the library since February regarding investing. Watched a few YouTube videos but I think I prefer books. Decided not too long ago to try day trading so I will start reading up on that in particular. I have yet to trade a single stock. I still don't know how. However, I'm going to try those simulator things online for maybe a few months before spending real money. Also thinking of joining a day trader meet up club so I can meet more people to discuss this with. :)

I'm 29 years old right now. Wish I started when I was younger but better late than never!

I recommend you take your time. Even with a PhD in stats it'll take you a long while to figure out how to make money trading. There are many people who will happily charge you for the pleasure of listening to them. They sound convincing but until you know how to assess accurately what they say don't believe them.

AlliSinz, Welcome.  I wish the following seemed more welcoming - but it is harsh in the interest of real.  There is a whole industry at work to put you in a trance oscillating right there in the ‘pareto’ (/ aka distribution) at the cusp of loser and surviving.   The stats are against you.  The path you’re on will likely result in moving you to even lower ‘stats’... I do not want you to be a loser. 

If you are going to Trade, why read books about Investing?  (The T and I words are NOT synonyms - especially internally in your brains.)

Re: “spending real money”  Spending?  Try Risking.  (The Spending and Risking words are NOT synonyms - especially internally in your brains.)

Those sentences tell me at 29 you still may not  be “old” enough to become a trader . 

Re: “I still don't know how” ??? Bullsht !!! You do know how.  You look for a ‘stock’ * where the amount at risk is offset by a sufficient potential and you place a dam market order to buy the stock.  If it succeeds, you sell and go to the next trade.  If it gets stopped out, you sell and go on to the next trade. 

(*And, btw, if you are going to day trade, you will learn much quicker if you go directly to leveraged instruments...)

 

 

...

 

“Study long.  Study wrong”

If you want to start yourself even lower in the pareto than you already are, just keep ‘studying’... 

If you want to move yourself even further down the pareto than that, get on the fkn simulator train like all the other losers.  But, if you really want to move yourself up the pareto, open a real account and make real trades and learn about real trading and the real you.  Then you will discover what you what you really need to learn and what you need to change.  When you have DISCOVERED AND really KNOW those things, THEN read specific books, watch specific tubes, etc and TRAIN on simulator related to the methods you are best suited for.

 

...

dangermouse's post was good but I disagree on one point.  Do not "take your time".  Instead, "fail forward as fast as possible"  !

 

all the best,

As I said there are many who offer advice. Don't believe any of it until you've figured out how to evaluate advice - and don't believe this because I've said it but believe it because you've yourself understood it to be true. There's a good section on that in Rampaging Bulls.

Bon chance.

I know that investing and trading are different. I only started reading books on investing and later realized that I might be into day trading. That's why I wrote that I would start looking into day trading in particular. I only wanted to try simulator for a few months (maybe like 3) and not much more. I know that spending the money is a risk. I'm only trying to spend an amount I'm comfortable with losing monthly because I know I'm going to make mistakes. It's the mistakes and failures that I'm looking forward to so I can learn from them or try to find ways to improve. I'm basically trying to make my mistakes early. I don't think a few months of simulator is too terrible. No one is going to expect to be good at day trading from a simulator.

“advising someone to follow their beliefs” ... “advising someone not to take advice”

Rather than reply directly to dangermouse’s post, I’ll just rant...

Re: “advising someone to follow their beliefs”

Belief is what you do when you don’t know.  Before advising someone to follow their beliefs it’s best to make certain they really see them for what they are and know how to move on through them in the brains AND in their co-locations in the body.  Otherwise, all you are doing is facilitating the development of a specialized personal insanity, helping them get better at falling back on beliefs than at falling  /  “failing” forward out of them, aiding the typical attempts to migrate their beliefs about production and service work over into the realm of performance work (not a good plan btw).  Anyone reading this is at a fork in the road, more accurately, is at a quantum - either stay in the ‘voice of trading’ world of attempting to manipulate the ‘powers’ and ‘limits’ of beliefs OR make the jump to clearing beliefs from your functioning completely.

...

 “advising someone not to take advice”

Everybody is attempting to hypnotize you.  EVERYBODY.   You cannot not ‘take advice’ (and you also can’t not give it).  The whole world, the educational system ( here specifically the ‘voice of trading’), and the markets themselves are all trying to hypnotize you.   Advice:  apply awareness - not more hypnotism aka beliefs. 

I do appreciate the intentions to warn noobs away from the ‘voice of trading’s’ traps.  However, my  whole previous post from 4/12 was basically ‘advising’ AlliSinz  and other noobs to “find your own way” - to stop looking for advice and to get direct experience.  ... This is only about the 34th time I’ve posted about  ”find your own way”.  If you like, simply copy and paste ”find your own way” (with the quotes) into the site search box above to see.

All the best ... from the worst dam TL poster ever,

zdo

For most ‘voice of trading’ agents this finding is counterintuitive, however while observing over 2000 noobs since ’85, a strange stat emerged.  Those who traded real from the beginning have a higher survival rate than those who paper traded / practiced on a simulator at the beginning.  This is certainly not to claiming all those in the ‘real’ group  survived... and there were many in that ‘real’ group that actually should have practiced in sim some.  I'm also not assuming or asserting the difference btn ‘real’ and ‘sim’n behavior patterns were the determinants of success either... those who were able to go ‘real’ out the gate may have come in more ready along vision, virtues, fears, dealing with uncertainty scales, etc and etc.  Still, the stat is significant

... and btw, the best results came from the few cases that got grounded in ‘real’ from the beginning, then sequenced in focused method specific training on sim to hone their skills.  ... just something to consider... hth

Im a beginner trader and just wanted to say hi. Ive bin trading with a real account for about 6 months now strictly in stocks. Practiced on a simulated account for about a year off and on and i must say the difference is like black and white, I did far better on my simulated account. Hoping for better times ahead.

    • Date: 16th April 2024. Market News – Stocks and currencies sell off; USD up. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Stocks and currencies sell off, while the US Dollar picks up haven flows. Treasuries yields spiked again to fresh 2024 peaks before paring losses into the close, post, the stronger than expected retail sales eliciting a broad sell off in the markets. Rates surged as the data pushed rate cut bets further into the future with July now less than a 50-50 chance. Wall Street finished with steep declines led by tech. Stocks opened in the green on a relief trade after Israel repulsed the well advertised attack from Iran on Sunday. But equities turned sharply lower and extended last week’s declines amid the rise in yields. Investor concerns were intensified as Israel threatened retaliation. There’s growing anxiety over earnings even after a big beat from Goldman Sachs. UK labor market data was mixed, as the ILO unemployment rate unexpectedly lifted, while wage growth came in higher than anticipated – The data suggests that the labor market is catching up with the recession. Mixed messages then for the BoE. China grew by 5.3% in Q1 however the numbers are causing a lot of doubts over sustainability of this growth. The bounce came in the first 2 months of the year. In March, growth in retail sales slumped and industrial output decelerated below forecasts, suggesting challenges on the horizon. Today: Germany ZEW, US housing starts & industrial production, Fed Vice Chair Philip Jefferson speech, BOE Bailey speech & IMF outlook. Earnings releases: Morgan Stanley and Bank of America. Financial Markets Performance:   The US Dollar rallied to 106.19 after testing 106.25, gaining against JPY and rising to 154.23, despite intervention risk. Yen traders started to see the 160 mark as the next Resistance level. Gold surged 1.76% to $2386 per ounce amid geopolitical risks and Chinese buying, even as the USD firmed and yields climbed. USOIL is flat at $85 per barrel. Market Trends:   Breaks of key technical levels exacerbated the sell off. Tech was the big loser with the NASDAQ plunging -1.79% to 15,885 while the S&P500 dropped -1.20% to 5061, with the Dow sliding -0.65% to 37,735. The S&P had the biggest 2-day sell off since March 2023. Nikkei and ASX lost -1.9% and -1.8% respectively, and the Hang Seng is down -2.1%. European bourses are down more than -1% and US futures are also in the red. CTA selling tsunami: “Just a few points lower CTAs will for the first time this year start selling in size, to add insult to injury, we are breaking major trend-lines in equities and the gamma stabilizer is totally gone.” Short term CTA threshold levels are kicking in big time according to GS. Medium term is 4873 (most important) while the long term level is at 4605. Always trade with strict risk management. Your capital is the single most important aspect of your trading business.

    • Date: 15th April 2024. Market News – Negative Reversion; Safe Havens Rally. Trading Leveraged Products is risky Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Markets weigh risk of retaliation cycle in Middle East. Initially the retaliatory strike from Iran on Israel fostered a haven bid, into bonds, gold and other haven assets, as it threatens a wider regional conflict. However, this morning, Oil and Asian equity markets were muted as traders shrugged off fears of a war escalation in the Middle East. Iran said “the matter can be deemed concluded”, and President Joe Biden has called on Israel to exercise restraint following Iran’s drone and missile strike, as part of Washington’s efforts to ease tensions in the Middle East and minimize the likelihood of a widespread regional conflict. New US and UK sanctions banned deliveries of Russian supplies, i.e. key industrial metals, produced after midnight on Friday. Aluminum jumped 9.4%, nickel rose 8.8%, suggesting brokers are bracing for major supply chain disruption. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex fell back from highs over 106 to currently 105.70. The Yen dip against USD to 153.85. USOIL settled lower at 84.50 per barrel and Gold is trading below session highs at currently $2357.92 per ounce. Copper, more liquid and driven by the global economy over recent weeks, was more subdued this morning. Currently at $4.3180. Market Trends:   Asian stock markets traded mixed, but European and US futures are slightly higher after a tough session on Friday and yields have picked up. Mainland China bourses outperformed overnight, after Beijing offered renewed regulatory support. The PBOC meanwhile left the 1-year MLF rate unchanged, while once again draining funds from the system. Nikkei slipped 1% to 39,114.19. On Friday, NASDAQ slumped -1.62% to 16,175, unwinding most of Thursday’s 1.68% jump to a new all-time high at 16,442. The S&P500 fell -1.46% and the Dow dropped 1.24%. Declines were broadbased with all 11 sectors of the S&P finishing in the red. JPMorgan Chase sank 6.5% despite reporting stronger profit in Q1. The nation’s largest bank gave a forecast for a key source of income this year that fell below Wall Street’s estimate, calling for only modest growth. Apple shipments drop by 10% in Q1.

    • The morning of my last post I happened to glance over to the side and saw “...angst over the FOMC’s rate trajectory triggered a flight to safety, hence boosting the haven demand. “   http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/topic/21621-hfmarkets-hfmcom-market-analysis-services/page/17/?tab=comments#comment-228522   I reacted, but didn’t take time to  respond then... will now --- HFBlogNews, I don’t know if you are simply aggregating the chosen narratives for the day or if it’s your own reporting... either way - “flight to safety”????  haven ?????  Re: “safety  - ”Those ‘solid rocks’ are getting so fragile a hit from a dandelion blowball might shatter them... like now nobody wants to buy longer term new issues at these rates...yet the financial media still follows the scripts... The imagery they pound day in and day out makes it look like the Fed knows what they’re doing to help ‘us’... They do know what they’re doing - but it certainly is not to help ‘us’... and it is not to ‘control’ inflation... And at some point in the not too distant future, the interest due will eat a huge portion of the ‘revenue’ Re: “haven” The defaults are coming ...  The US will not be the first to default... but it will certainly not be the very last to default !! ...Enough casual anti-white racism for the day  ... just sayin’
    • Date: 12th April 2024. Producer Inflation On The Rise, But Will Earnings Hold Demand Steady?     Producer inflation rose slightly less than previous expectations, but the annual figure continues to rise. The annual PPI rose to 2.1% and the Core PPI rose to 2.4%. The NASDAQ and SNP500 end the day higher, but the Dow Jones continues to struggle. This morning earnings kick off with the banking sector including JP Morgan, BlackRock and Wells Fargo. All 3 stocks trade higher during pre-trading hours. The Euro trades lower against all currencies despite the ECB’s attempt to establish a hawkish tone. USA100 – The NASDAQ Climbs Higher, But Is the Growth Sustainable? The NASDAQ was the only index which did not witness a significant decline at the opening of the US session. In addition to this, the USA100 is the only index which is witnessing indications of a bullish market. The price has crossed onto a higher high breaking the resistance level at $18,269. The index is also trading above the 75-Bar EMA and at the 65.00 level on the RSI which signals buyers are controlling the market. However, a similar large bullish impulse wave was also formed on the 3rd and 5th of the month and was followed by a correction. Therefore, investors need to be cautious of a bearish breakout which may signal a correction back to the 75-bar EMA (18,165). The medium-term growth and its sustainability will depend on the upcoming earnings data.   Bond yields declined during this morning’s Asian session by 18 points, which is positive for the stock market. However, even with the decline, bond yields remain significantly higher than Monday’s opening yield. This week the 10-year bond yield rose from 4.424 to 4.558, which is a concern. If bond yields again start to rise, the stock market potentially can again become pressured. 25% of the NASDAQ ended the day lower and 75% higher. This gives a clear indication of the sentiment towards the technology sector and reassures traders about the price movement. Another positive was all of the top 12 influential stocks rose in value. Apple, NVIDIA and Broadcom saw the strongest gains, all rising more than 4%. Producer inflation read slightly lower than expectations, however, the index continues to rise. The Producer Price Index rose from 1.6% to 2.1% and the Core PPI from 2.1% to 2.4%. Therefore, it is not indicating inflation will become easier to tackle in the upcoming months. For this reason, investors should note that inflation and the monetary policy is still a risk and can trigger strong bearish impulse waves. EURUSD – The Euro Declines Against Major Currencies The European Central Bank is attempting to concentrate on the positive factors and give no indications of when the committee may opt to cut rates. For example, President Lagarde advises “sales figures” remain stable, but the issue remains they are stably low. Officials said the decline in prices generally confirms medium-term forecasts and is ensured by a decrease in the cost of food and goods. Most experts continue to believe that the first reduction in interest rates will happen in June, and there may be three or four in total during the year. Due to this, the Euro is declining against all currencies including the Pound, Yen and Swiss Franc. The US Dollar Index on the other hand trades 0.39% higher and is almost trading at a 23-week high. Due to this momentum, the price of the exchange continues to indicate a decline in favor of the US Dollar.   Always trade with strict risk management.
