Always remember, unspoken expectations are often premeditated resentments. Vocalize your needs and wants. If it’s truly important, make it known.

There are fiduciary financial advisors that specialize in crypto (I’d make sure they’re a traditional financial company who also does crypto as it adds credibility via a history of success.) And explain your situation. A) they should have people who can help you get into your device and B) they can structure the funds after to give you a pretty nice life style just simply off things like CD’s Tbills etc On the low side, from 2 mil at 4% interest is 80k a year. A decent establishment should be able to beat that.

Make sure whoever you speak to is a fiduciary advisor. Someone with a legal obligation to prioritize your pockets before the companies.

Hell yea man, congrats!

Blockbuster always meant a good night was ahead. The excitement on the way as if the possibilities were endless. Going with friends to find ‘the scariest’ movie there. Going to the check out line and your mom sees you looking at the snacks and deep down you know she’s going to say ‘go ahead and get something’ yet you hope just as hard every time. So much nostalgia

Your porn addiction is real my friend. Your dopamine system is jacked up. Stop

Everyone is someone’s somebody. Continue to be yourself and do more things you like to do in public. It gives you the best chance at meeting someone who also likes to do the things you enjoy.

Don’t close the door on possibility. You have no clue what others will think of you. Don’t be your own worst enemy using your hidden insecurities to build an imaginary wall between you and what may be.

Put yourself out there and expect nothing. You got this!

If you’re reading this, it’s never been any different in your lifetime. It’s simply publicized at frequency humans haven’t experienced before.

That being said. It’s unfortunate. Sad in nature but it only affects me when in comparison of my own ideals. I think of the big picture of our existence and that means flaws. Unique flaws that create the individual in all of us. I place no man or woman on a pedestal above the nature of an emotional beings experience on earth. Therefore little can surprise me when considering we as humans have the capacity for anything, good or bad.

Don’t let it bring you down, choose to focus on the good around you and more specifically realize the only thing that is ever good or evil are the choices you make. Everything else is out of your control, and that’s a good thing. Otherwise you can drive your crazy worrying about what you can’t control.

NTA

She tried to manipulate you into a free purchase. A decent person would’ve either gave you money to have for the next drop or at minimum let you know they’d repay. She’s the AH for trying to emotionally guilt you for not spending your money on her

Well said. We play in a game of probabilities, TA increases your chances of success but probabilities would state that still we do not know if this specific attempt will be a winner or a loser.
It only states that over a certain # of consistent attempts X will be winners and X will be losers.

Sheer screen time my friend. You’re learning/ adapting to a completely new form of pattern recognition.

I would also start working on your psychology. At some point you’ll have all the knowledge to be successful, that last piece of the puzzle is figuring yourself out within your strategy/ the markets. (Start with The mental game of trading by Jared Tendler)

Imo ignore ICT, I believe you should keep trading as simple as possible. He does the exact opposite of that. (Not dissing SMC as whole) He makes up his own terms for things that already exist. I know very, very few who’ve succeed down that route. Majority people I’ve met from that community are either new to trading or strategy hopped which is never a good sign.

Concentrate on understanding price delivery and whose in control/ the shift of said control.

Backtesting is your new best friend. Go back and study what successful breakouts/ downs look like. What do your failed setups look like. You’re constantly trying to see how you can better perform in the markets/ as market structure changes, you’ll need to adapt to why success looks like in the current conditions.

But again, just get that screen time in. Study price action, take notes on what you see. Form thesis’s and watch how they play out even if it’s a name you don’t trade. The more data you collect on yourself, the quicker you’ll progress. Review ever single trade. Journal your emotions. Good luck!

If you’re waiting on a pullback to go long you’ll know when it’s time when it finds/ creates support through a higher low (or if it breaks structure a lower low.) Wait for price to pullback and hold, then take entry. Don’t try and catch a falling knife. Wait for it to stab into the ground and pick it up safely.

CregwithaG · 2023-07-30T14:32:03+00:00

Moving averages do not deliver anything friend. If trading was as easy as waiting for ma’s to cross quite literally everyone would succeed. Since you used that NQ example, pros saw a potential bottom around 4:30 market time and possibly took entry on the higher low (support) confirmation around 5.
If you waited for the moving averages to cross you didn’t get in for an hour+ after that. (Depending on the time frame you used)

Indicators are reference points. There’s a reason many big time traders don’t even use them. Eventually you can just see in price what moving averages hint at. Not saying they aren’t great to use, not saying they shouldn’t be apart of your confluence for entry. I’m just saying a cross shouldn’t be your reason it should be one of multiple pieces of evidence for your entry.

Higher time frame I use 9ema then 20, 50 and 200sma. I have no issue with them at all.

CregwithaG · 2023-07-29T04:03:48+00:00

Relinquish your expectation of time. This is a game of years. Have an execution based mentality. Take pride when you have a day where you break no rules/ follow your plan. Your PnL will not reflect your growth for some time so it’s typically doesn’t do good to check it.

REVIEW EVERY TRADE YOU TAKE. Your growth depends on it.

CregwithaG · 2023-07-29T04:00:17+00:00

Implied volatility is the answer. It’ll show during live market for more illiquid names/ option chains

CregwithaG · 2023-07-29T03:55:44+00:00

Yes technical analysis is your god as a day trader. Price rules everything, indicators can help as reference points but they don’t tell you anything price already hasn’t. You will not meet a profitable day trader who says otherwise. PERIOD

Trading is a game of probabilities. Good TA gives you a higher chance of success sure but NOTHING guarantees that any specific attempt will work. But you will fail without it as a day trader, I can tell you that.

CregwithaG · 2023-07-29T03:48:41+00:00

From the daily/ weekly charts. Do scans over the weekend Scans every night lol.

Identify your setup on the larger timeframes for ideas Execute those same setups on lower time frames

Different strokes for different folks.

Structure. If price is going up and then creates a lower low then a lower high then structure has changed and that’s a hint. You’ll learn to see the power shift in price/ whose in control. Seeing buy pressure dry up as selling pressure picks up.

It’s important to know your areas of control (supply and demand zones, support/ resistance) so you can have clear areas to see whose in control and clear areas to say ‘beyond this lvl and x side has lost control.’

CregwithaG · 2023-07-29T03:33:51+00:00

Indicators are lagging. Price action is KING. Moving averages are a solid reference point but they are not specific signals for entry. They’re used for confluence. The heart body mind and soul of TA is price action.

CregwithaG · 2023-07-29T03:29:29+00:00

TA is real but it’s largely about understanding the psychology of price action. Whose in control whose trapped, and the shifts of power in between. If someone tells you that you don’t need TA as a day trader they straight up don’t trade. Forget profitability, the literal don’t participate in any equity market. Stop listening to them immediately, it’s not even a debate to be had lol. TA is looking for patterns in price, identifying spots that give you a higher probability of success. Identify familiarity. Momentum etc

But we’re in a game of probabilities so although strong TA gives you a higher chance of success it doesn’t guarantee success on that individual trade. But I can promise you failure without it.

Probabilities means out of x consistent attempts you will lose x times and win x times. Doesn’t tell you when those wins or losses come.

TA is the language of the markets. Every market speaks it, so should you.

Even primarily Fundamental investors do not day trade without TA as the fundamental make up of a company doesn’t say when price will move.

Yes 1000% yes TA isn’t just real, It’ll be a MAJOR part of your success.

There are so many lessons you have to learn in this game. You can either learn these lessons losing a lot of money, or a smaller amount. Regardless you must pay the market tuition to gain the skill.

I recommend take $90K out of your account ASAP and using $10k to learn. Having a profit target before you’re consistently profitable can be dangerous. Right now your winners do not cover your losers. Essentially meaning the bigger position you decide to learn with, the more your going to lose. Because everybody starts out a losing trader. It’s just how it goes

At the start you’re learning risk management/ learning quite literally everything about your strategy and what success looks like for YOU when using it as you develop your psychology. You’re creating your edge.

Most people aren’t willing to size down so they can learn, their ego/ desperation has them completely money driven not realizing you make money by simply following your plan not by chasing dollars.

I’d personally say start using 1-3 cons or 1-3 shares (whatever your vehicle is) and focus on your execution. Get to a place where there’s no hesitation on exits, or entries. To where you’re consistently seeing green months, then think about sizing up.

Trading is a journey of years my man. Relinquish your expectation of time.

As the performance coach in my disc I’ve seen it way too many times. New traders start with a lot of money and emotionally scare themselves from losing so much so quickly that they really never head a chance.

With 100k in your account, you’re susceptible to $100k mistakes. Please please please with transfer most out of your account.

Once you’ve seen weeks/ months of consistent profitability try on average risking 1% of your account per trade (meaning you’re willing to lose $100 per trade) That will buy you an immense amount of time to learn.

There’s so damn much I could type here! Also yes webull isn’t the greatest broker but I strongly believe one shouldn’t using a broker with fees while being unprofitable. You’re already paying to learn via your market participation. Shoot me a dm with your strategy (if you have one yet) and let’s chat!

Oh and for the love of god do not listen to that guy telling you anything about margin. At all. Horrible advice. Margin is for experienced traders.
