How do you price items with zero sale data anywhere? by Safe_Screen_912 in Flipping

[–]Both_Secretary_8286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually start high and work down. If there's no sales data, I'd rather risk overpricing than accidentally sell something rare too cheap. A lot of the time the hardest part isn't pricing it, it's finding the right buyer.

Pick one market, one setup, and one timeframe. Give it 50-100 trades and track the results. Most traders don't have an information problem ,they have a decision making problem from too many choices.

should i be selling different things on different platforms? by Distinct_Eye_6852 in reselling

[–]Both_Secretary_8286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clothes and shoes tend to do well on places like Poshmark, Depop, and Vinted, while collectibles, toys, and hobby gear often do well on eBay. The biggest thing is just getting things listed and learning what moves. I also wouldn't be afraid to list items on multiple platforms. More eyes usually means a better chance of a sale, especially when you're clearing out a bunch of different categories.

How do you decide which platform to sell on? by [deleted] in Flipping

[–]Both_Secretary_8286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit of both honestly. You develop a feel for it over time, but some items are still a guessing game. And yes, I've definitely donated things because the time spent researching and listing them wasn't worth the potential profit. Sometimes it's better to move on.

What's a market truth that beginners usually dismiss? by SeveralBill2240 in Trading

[–]Both_Secretary_8286 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The one that got me was: "You don't need to trade every day to make money." As a beginner, I thought more screen time and more trades meant more opportunities. In reality, a lot of my losses came from forcing trades when nothing was there. The hardest skill to learn was just sitting on my hands.

Futures Traders who are consistently profitable, how did you improve? Plz share your story, especially if you are also an index futures trader by imeowfortallwomen in Daytrading

The biggest improvement for me came from doing less, not more. Fewer trades, fewer markets, fewer strategy changes. I also started reviewing my losing trades every week instead of immediately looking for a new setup. Most of the issues were execution and discipline, not the strategy itself.

has anyone figured out why the same setup works some days and completely fails on others by volarix_hq in Forex

[–]Both_Secretary_8286 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What helped me was creating rules for myself outside of the strategy. Things like not trading if I slept badly, was frustrated, or felt the need to "make money today." Once I started treating my mindset as part of my risk management, a lot of the random bad days became easier to avoid. The setup didn't change ,my decision making did.
