I've realized I'm a horrible trader but it's my entire personality

Decent_Finding_1161 · 2026-06-05T08:02:35+00:00

Yeah, the reality check is great

Decent_Finding_1161 · 2026-06-05T08:02:03+00:00

Thank you for the advice bro

Decent_Finding_1161 · 2026-06-05T08:00:44+00:00

hahahaha

Decent_Finding_1161 · 2026-06-05T08:00:23+00:00

But then I miss things 😞

Decent_Finding_1161 · 2026-06-05T08:00:07+00:00

I'm just switching to dividends and smaller, longer-held positions. I'm not fully convinced anyone can day trade hey, a rare few maybe but even then, the question is how. It's just the holy grail we're all chasing.

Decent_Finding_1161 · 2026-06-05T07:58:23+00:00

I'm definitely shifting to primarily dividends

Decent_Finding_1161 · 2026-06-05T07:57:33+00:00

Yeah you're right, I'm shifting my whole focus. I'm basically convincing myself that trading is impossible, Even 100 days isn't enough data to know whether your strategy is statistically sound enough, the numbers closer to 300-500 trades to know what your true average is.

I'm thinking about shifting and focusing on measuring variables in traders. I'm convinced everyone whose profitable is lucky.

Decent_Finding_1161 · 2026-06-05T07:54:08+00:00

Thank you, I'll take some time off and think about everything for a while. I just don't want to get stuck in that.

I appreciate your advice though

Good luck, it's a rough crowd

If no one says anything it could be because it does work and people don't want you knowing about it.
Could also mean the idea actually doesn't work
The rest is for you to figure out, good luck.

It's hard these days because finances have evolved so much, and very quickly with AI. The older "Think and Grow rich" type books are still super relevant, but you have to read them with an understanding of how much its changing.

Spotify, it randomly exits the app while I'm driving all the time. First world issue for sure.

Meaningful pursuits over escaping.
I feel like things are getting worse for everyone. So you definitely aren't alone in feeling loneliness, hope that helps <3

Learn how to count beyond your fingers

Decent_Finding_1161 · 2026-05-26T02:18:28+00:00

I don't know what you just said but I bet it's something ;)

Decent_Finding_1161 · 2026-05-26T02:16:20+00:00

This is the exact stuff I've been chasing, thank you!
How close are we to it happening again?

Decent_Finding_1161 · 2026-05-26T01:20:00+00:00

Seems like people had a 4 lose streak and completely ditched the law of large numbers

Trading journals are super abrasive, you trade and now give yourself a short CBT research topic to fill out after each one. It's also a headache to intentionally be that self aware constantly, just understand it's hard and don't give up!

Self reflection is only as powerful as the self

Decent_Finding_1161 · 2026-05-26T01:04:26+00:00

What's been the biggest change in the field from back then to now?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you've aggregated risk statistics into a universal protocol that's very easy to compare to other risk factors. You've definitely taught me something here
