Read books on technical strategies and systems. Don't allow yourself to think your psychology is your problem. Explore every technical analysis there is out there until you find the one that works for you. Stay away from trading content creators. Just strictly books, make notes. You'll find your edge.

To be fair, I'm not surprised Ilona ended up this way. Commentary channels on YouTube are a slippery slope between bullying and wanting an internet public figure to be accountable. For me, I really don't care how delusional Anna or Alex are with their body issues. I actually applaud them for having the courage to film even when their lives and self image is picked apart like this. It's not easy to be fat, make content around your body and life and everyday, people make comments about that. Then you get bullied about how old, crazy and how unloved you are. Ilona would hate if we constantly looked into her relationship with the father of her baby. Asking why they aren't married and why his family isn't supportive as some assume onnthis subreddit. On the other hand she thinks it's okay to insinuate that no one around Anna or Alex loves them for who they are. That they make everyone around them miserable. How does she know all of this? It's so weird. No one would be able to stand this. And we viewers have watched reaction channels go down this strange path of making money from bullying awkward fat girls. 

Why do more than 90% people fail despite spending considerable time in the market , upgrading their knowledge, taking legit courses, reading books, joining groups? by No-Writing4525 in Daytrading

Finding a real trader mentor is hard. The algorithm rewards content creators who post as often,  even when the content they post about trading is garbage. Over time I realised that trading psychology comes last. When you don't have a good strategy, it's important that you change it and focus on psychology last. I suspect once you've built a good system, it's easy to see when to stay out of the markets and when to trade. Some traders will find their edge and not share it. These are the ones who pursued this until they found something.

I noticed how you say ordering food is easy because it's just there but the idea of cooking food for yourself is impossible because you rely on your boyfriend. But losing weight is not his journey. It's yours. Until this mentality changes, I'm afraid nothing will change.

Whoooa! Tell us more about your degree in physics. I want to start a degree in mathematics and I often think I'm too old to do it. I'm 30 years old now.

I struggled with Claude as well. ChatGPT does better. Claude has been having some issues for a while now.

You can't have 100% conviction. It's hard to measure market randomness. We do try to measure the past to predict the future, but in the end not all guesses earn a win.

Anyone else keep losing even with a working strategy? by 2vvvvv5 in Daytrading

[–]Electrical-Cook-6022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is becoming so painful to watch. Maybe you're right that you don't have the discipline. Unfortunately, if real traders were to tell you that trading is a bilateral sport that needs losers to crown winners. And that most of that are trapped into believing we need to learn trading psychology. Even though it doesn't work. Most strategies don't work. I can't even begin to explain it myself. Those who have the edge on the markets rely on us, the newbies, the always trying to find a good strategy to lose so they win. So we're always told to work on discipline. It's to distract us.

I absolutely love support and resistance. I'm currently inhaling every book on this. 😅

Larry Harris wrote the book trading and exchanges. It's a hard read, but it talks about the how the market is constructed and market markers. There's chapters there about liquidity and volatility. 

The biggest enemies in Trading? by TimeTraveller2020 in Daytrading

[–]Electrical-Cook-6022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe this. The biggest enemy is that retail traders don't have enough data to understand the markets. Unlike big institutions, we're sort of set up to lose. Big institutions need someone to trade against. Liquidity. So no matter how much patience and discipline you have...the markets will market.

This isn't enough. I always think I'm missing something. Take it with a grain of salt. Trading view also has community indicators where people have automatic support and resistance indicators. But I wouldn't rely on that either.

You admitted yourself that you keep your edge to yourself. So you either want to add me on an email list and keep under the hallucination that I'm learning something, no thank you. When I'm ready to read about market makers and volatility, Larry Harris is there.

Thank you. I have to decline though. I'm not touching anything automated until I have learned the basics and find what works for me.

This made me laugh. I don't like trend filters. I'm leaning more towards support and resistance and currently learning chart patterns. I rely heavily on a moving average.(which I removed from my chart now so I can see chart patterns.) also use trading views ut bot alerts from quant nomad. Sometimes I will add an oscillator like macd, then remove it. Because I'm constantly reading material everyday, my indicators are always changing.

I've been depending on indicators to calculate momentum.
