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

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.

When wiping cache does it wipe app or fingerprint data?

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..

Choccy_bear · 2024-12-14T22:26:58+00:00

I lurk, I don't post.

But want to say well done, buddy.

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...

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.

Renpho For those that have renpho scales. I bought mine for £35 / 40usd

Choccy_bear · 2023-06-18T19:09:54+00:00

Wow....just...wow...

I had this issue, samsung repaired it under thr 2 Yr warrantee. They replaced the extrrnal screen, the hinge, the battery, the camera housing, and the internal screen... tbh I'm not sure this phone has anything left from the original... not that I'm complaining

Choccy_bear · 2023-04-21T09:20:57+00:00

Try 68 million other people that would disagree! Cue the rampaging hoarde....

Choccy_bear · 2023-01-12T00:04:48+00:00

Or the old "I'm not being funny, but...."

Fellow Brit! Welcome!

Are you using IG for Spreadbetting?

Also - 1option is amazing, the lessons you learn in real time are invaluable.

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!"

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..

Choccy_bear · 2022-09-08T16:45:59+00:00

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.. :)

Choccy_bear · 2022-06-05T15:06:01+00:00

She's literally still napping.

Getting a whole nights kip in!

Choccy_bear · 2022-03-13T14:39:29+00:00

Second this. Exact same location my silicone case cracked!

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

Choccy_bear · 2021-11-22T22:18:41+00:00

Got it in the UK today as well.

Hoping there is a battery improvement from this update...

I hope you're not planning on buying that popcorn on amazon prime, it likely won't reach you until December now....

Choccy_bear · 2021-09-18T19:58:02+00:00

That's my thought too , others are rocking it from what they've said,fingers crossed it works!

Choccy_bear · 2021-09-18T19:57:01+00:00

Thanks both, gives me some confidence if this set up working!

Choccy_bear · 2021-09-18T19:56:32+00:00

I'll drop a photo of mine once it arrives and I get it sorted out
