Success & Failures

Recommended Posts

I started off trading in 2007 with 20 K in my hand - My broker instructed me not to trade with more then one mini lot and this would be the only way I will be successful and I started trading this way but as soon as I started earning good amount of money the greed factor came and I started trading with half lots and standard lots which infect gave me a good charm at start up but ultimately it went on the wrong side and I lost 75% of my portfolio within one week and then again I started trading as I started with ;-) I can say I am successful now.

 

I would like you to share your views what was your initial time while trading and was you successful or unsuccessful and what percentage do you expect while trading on a yeatly basis.

I have failed gloriously a few times in ten years.....

 

One time I was so stupid that I thought I could influence the trend with my paltry orders........

 

Another time I traded all night against the trend and got clobbered severely, lost most of my account...

 

My biggest mistakes have been caused by impatience and overtrading.

 

Once I got the hang of waiting things improved tremendously

 

I use very small lots and make many entries looking for small profits, hopefully increasing my account by a nice number each day.

Success and failures are part of trading as market keeps going up and down constantly. I too had a slow start for trading in 2003 but gradually I learned the mechanism and today I can say I am a successful trader.

when some people new electronic devices they read the manual before using it...some just open the package and try to figure out on their own...

 

when I started trading, I had no idea about fundamentals and technical stuff...I would pick random stuff. I would buy stocks without any valid reason and hope they will skyrocket the next day. Some time later (after losing half of my investment) I noticed how stupid (or brave) I was because I was in a battle which I can not win.

 

then I started learning...I would read for hours at night, check the internet, find more sources...I have no idea how many weeks-months I spent using metastock...but at the end I learned how to survive and hunt...

    • “If the West finds itself falling behind in AI, it won’t be due to a lack of technological prowess or resources. It won’t be because we weren’t smart enough or didn’t move fast enough. It will be because of something many of our Eastern counterparts don’t share with us: fear of AI.   The root of the West's fear of AI can no doubt be traced back to decades of Hollywood movies and books that have consistently depicted AI as a threat to humanity. From the iconic "Terminator" franchise to the more recent "Ex Machina," we have been conditioned to view AI as an adversary, a force that will ultimately turn against us.   In contrast, Eastern cultures have a WAY different attitude towards AI. As UN AI Advisor Neil Sahota points out, "In Eastern culture, movies, and books, they've always seen AI and robots as helpers and assistants, as a tool to be used to further the benefit of humans."   This positive outlook on AI has allowed countries like Japan, South Korea, and China to forge ahead with AI development, including in areas like healthcare, where AI is being used to improve the quality of services.   The West's fear of AI is not only shaping public opinion but also influencing policy decisions and regulatory frameworks. The European Union, for example, recently introduced AI legislation prioritizing heavy-handed protection over supporting innovation.   While such measures might be well-intentioned, they risk stifling AI development and innovation, making it harder for Western companies and researchers to compete.   Among the nations leading common-sense AI regulation, one stands out for now: Singapore.” – Chris C Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
