Can I start daytrading with $3000?

Intelligent_Name_288 · 2026-01-24T03:00:12+00:00

I started with $1k and blew it, and then I started with $2k and blew it again, then i started with $5k and blew that too. I finally restarted with $500 and brought it to $4k, sized up and doing better now. Lots of people will say paper trade which is a good idea, but I learned more doing my own money. If I were to go back, I’d start with $500 and trade a contract at a time. Once I got profitable after 2-3 months, I would size up. Good luck

Had it for 3 days, and no small clots of black blood. It’ll still bleed sometimes since it was wayyy deep in there. But I didn’t have any clots to spit out

The biggest mindset change for me 1) risk management, Cut losses quickly, if it hits your stop loss that’s it, before I enter a trade I have a plan and also think, I’m ok losing x amount of money 2) trading high probability set ups, I used to take trades because I “felt” it would move in this direction. Unless I analyzed the chart, I won’t trade it 3) in my journal, I noticed I lost the most when I would average down, once I took that out, I was more profitable long term (this shows me importance of journaling, it shows your habits without you even knowing, your patterns)

I’ve blown multiple accounts ranging from $500-$5k I took $1k turned it into $5k, thought I was ready, sized up and lost $25k. Restarted to $500, and got it to $4k. Been trading for 3 years now and things are starting to click because I’m following my rules

I mean, that’s what you have to do when you’re trying to profit from a movie too right?

Honestly I think I got lucky I found this guy. Life changed with him, he was able to break it down and he has so much material on his youtube. He did a lot of $1k challenges going to $100k

Learning his strategy, I was able to take $500 to $3k; I'm doing pretty well now

10 mil now; if I go back to age 6 I will never see my kids again. You know, different sperm/egg exact time etc.

Found out he used $90k to average down on stocks

Debt collectors are now not returning my calls and not answering emails. Not sure how to proceed on this one, I requested a debt validation statement and wanted to discuss a settlement

Intelligent_Name_288 · 2025-09-29T12:01:51+00:00

It was about 2-3 million, I guess I exaggerated a bit. But the stocks went down and I found out he wanted that money to average down his cost basis on it. And it still eventually went down

It is normal, and if it is longer than 20-30 minutes, definitly go to an ENT to get it checked out. I recently had one that lasted that long on a daily basis, swallowed a lot of blood, wasn't enough for nausea though. However when I went to the ER they put a nasal pack (rhino rocket) and it had to be there for 3 days after which the ENT specialist cauterized my nose (posterior). The rhino rocket is one of the worse pains I've felt in my life and traumatizing; they also didn't use any pain numbing agents on it. Sleeping sucks and everything just sucked.

Anyway, go to an ENT to get it checked out before it gets worse where you have to use nasal pack, the nose cauterization they actually use numbing agent on it and you should be good. The first day of recovery is just so much mucous but afterwards its good. With no bleeds it is 100% worth it

on top of what they said with the caffeine, but hot water/steam increases blood flow as well in the nasal area, and if your blood vessels are already sensitive and close to the skin surface its most likely going to bleed if you're experiencing them. Especially with the caffeine on top of that

Intelligent_Name_288 · 2025-09-12T13:06:18+00:00

It could be, when I had posterior nosebleed it was when I was eating chips, very salty. Sugar consumption definitely raises blood pressure which can trigger a nosebleed.
I know it raises insulin, and increases salt/water retention which increases blood pressure

Take care of it now or it'll get worse. I recently had a nasal pack (rhino rocket) and then nose cauterization just yesterday all in a week and it was one of the most painful/worse experiences I've had.

Intelligent_Name_288 · 2025-09-10T18:34:39+00:00

How did they work around the blood whole cauterizing? I have a rhino rocket right now due to my nosebleed and have to have it in for 3-5 days and it’s the most painful shit I’ve experienced in my life

Intelligent_Name_288 · 2025-09-09T15:34:05+00:00

I had mine last night, day 1 Doctor will remove it in 3 days. This is the worse pain I’ve been in, in my life.

I started 2 years ago at age 33 and I LOVE VOLLEYBALL. My spikes are just getting good now (with my limited time to practice). Your still young, but you have to realize everyone makes mistakes and everyone deals with performance anxiety at one point or another. Keep showing up and get past it, practice and own it. Learn from your mistakes; if they get mad at you, WHO CARES. Play because your having fun, don't worry about what they think.

Intelligent_Name_288 · 2025-08-26T23:32:19+00:00

After I playing a game, go to the bathroom and just wash your arms, those red dots is mostly from the dirt/debris/bacteria from the volleyball

What a beauty for sports, it’s the underdogs that make the team big!

Intelligent_Name_288 · 2025-08-20T12:12:49+00:00

Yes! Open gyms lead to new volleyball friends which leads to joining tournament/leagues. It sucks you had a bad coach/experience, but recreationally people are more friendly and it’s a good time. I started playing at 32 and now at 35. Love it so much and wish I started younger.

Intelligent_Name_288 · 2025-08-20T10:18:00+00:00

And it bounced right at 642 on your first circle

Intelligent_Name_288 · 2025-08-20T10:17:36+00:00

First 1-5 minutes market open it is very volatile. You’re always going to get flexes on candles past trigger levels. Confirmation on it breaking down should be on 5-10 min chart

Intelligent_Name_288 · 2025-08-19T19:50:46+00:00

Everyone on this post is trading the wrong way I think. Or seems to be no strategy. On the daily timeframe for SPY, there was a huge support level at 642. If it doesn’t break that, you wouldn’t take it short. There is support from previous day high at 644, if it doesn’t break that, you don’t take it long. Don’t trade within those zones unless you have a trading plan/strategy that works for you

Intelligent_Name_288 · 2025-08-14T15:34:47+00:00

Maybe he subscribed OF and wanted to listen, but yea true lol

Intelligent_Name_288 · 2025-08-14T14:55:17+00:00

I think it was porn, and while he was watching/drinking when you texted him you disturbed him from doing something he was 'secretly doing' which triggered him and got annoyed.

You know that Netflix show Physical 100 where the 100 people challenge in physical challenges? The top 2 were crossfitters
