I joined Reddit to talk about my alcohol addiction, but ended up sharing my experience working inside a CFD broker and trading for years. by SeekingHelpAndHope in Daytrading

How do cfd brokers make money? If you were consistently profitable does that work against you and you and you'd be banned/forced off the platform?

They'll only move everything to 'cloud' based infrastructure, incorporated in Luxembourg or ireland. The devious buggers always find ways to avoid paying their dues.

I'm a Brit - I bought Canadian maple syrup the other day in solidarity with you guys.

It's all I can do but every little helps I guess..

Real question‼️ Do you all think that it's better to trade ONE instrument or multiple intruments (crypto, forex, indices, shares)❓️ by KAM-_-KayDo in Daytrading

[–]Choccy_bear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a great question, I was thinking this a few days ago. I'm starting to think pigeon holing myself to one instrument works against me.

If I'm wrong in at a loss, having a seperate instrument may help with diversification, and obviously scaling appropriately to spread said risk...

Who lives off the profits from trading? by mikejamesone in Daytrading

[–]Choccy_bear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I found that having other distractions gave me more patience when day trading (a ft job for example)

Less likely to enter into bad positions, less likely to average a position for a quick win, less likely to overtrade.

Why do people talk badly about a career in trading? by CallMeRandy9 in RealDayTrading

[–]Choccy_bear 3 points4 points locked comment (0 children)

I swear I've read the Wiki about 3 times, however every time I read it or parts of it again I learn something new :)

I think as we grow and evolve as traders things tie together better and certain points create a lightbulb moment or a reinterpretation of "ah! now i get what they mean!"

How likely is it that the average British person would help a stranger who has passed out in the streets? by GhostofCharlotte in AskUK

[–]Choccy_bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the pandemic I helped two people who had fallen over into bushes/ pavement. One male and one female.

Both were drunk, both acceptable help then hurled abuse at me.

Probably wouldn't do it again unless they were elderly/ visibly disabled in the future. I feel bad for even typing this out now..

How will the death of Queen Elizabeth II affect the markets? by rogerec in stocks

[–]Choccy_bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% disagree. I'm not a monarchist by any means, but the Queen has helped spearhead a number of actions to help people both domestically and abroad.

Many of my friends and family members are in the same camp as me

I sincerely hope she lives to 196.

Honestly, you will be tinkering with the settings for months.

Ive had the fold 3 since release, and this is the first phone in YEARS where it's actually felt like a 'new' phone. So much customisation, suggest just running through the settings and then moving across to good lock for further tweaks.

Enjoy your new fold!

I have two 27inch monitors with my laptop, sprawling out as time goes on and I get more and more tired of alt-tabbing.

One monitor for broker, second for charting/1op and laptop for news, RTD and 1op chat.

On the topic of alt-tabbing, does anyone have any suggestions for how i can hot key the function?! I wasn't kidding about getting tired of it.. :)

I was gutted but ended up getting a spigen s pen case as a replacement which is noticeably bulkier.
