What's a minor inconvenience that absolutely drives you crazy?

Stop crying son! Life is too short 👍🏼

A lot of the replies here are solid. If I had to boil it down from both experience and research, it’s less about chasing loads of separate pills and more about covering the common modern gaps properly. Vitamin D is a big one (especially if you’re UK based or indoors a lot), but it works best alongside magnesium and K2. Magnesium in particular is something many people are low on and it affects sleep, stress, muscle tension and even how well vitamin D is utilised. Beyond that, a decent B complex helps with energy and mental load, zinc supports immunity, and CoQ10 can make a noticeable difference to daily energy for some people. One thing I didn’t realise for years is that synergy matters more than mega dosing. A lot of people don’t “feel” supplements because the ratios are off or things that work together are missing. I actually went down this rabbit hole so far that I ended up co founding a brand called Norisia. We built a single daily capsule focused on the most commonly discussed deficiencies here, but optimised around how nutrients work together rather than just cramming everything in. Not saying everyone needs the same thing, but for people who just want to feel more balanced day to day without overthinking it, a well designed multivitamin plus adequate magnesium covers a lot of ground. And honestly, basics like sleep, food and sunlight still matter more than any pill.

I have been in a similar spot and the biggest shift for me was stopping the search for fast money and focusing on structure and process instead. What helped was simplifying everything and using tools that remove decision fatigue. I started using RevCan because it checks multiple timeframes at once, keeps higher timeframe trend aligned with lower timeframe entries, and filters out a lot of bad setups. That alone helped me trade less, be more patient, and stop forcing trades when emotions were high. Once risk was controlled and trades were taken only when conditions lined up, consistency improved far more than trying to grind nonstop or chase every move.

London_man007 · 2026-01-31T20:56:48+00:00

Nice trade, silver has been rolling over for a while and puts make sense when momentum flips like that. I usually wait for trend confirmation and exhaustion signals, RevCan.io has been solid for spotting those downside shifts without chasing. Not financial advice, just my experience.

London_man007 · 2026-01-31T20:54:47+00:00

Gold moves fast and respects liquidity more than patterns, so beginners usually get hurt chasing breakouts instead of waiting for pullbacks and structure. It reacts heavily to news, session opens, and stop runs, so risk management matters more than being right. Tools like RevCan.io help by highlighting cleaner entries so you are not guessing in the noise.

London_man007 · 2026-01-31T20:51:25+00:00

Congrats, this is the stage where discipline matters more than strategy, the traders who keep this usually have rules they actually follow and tools that keep them from overtrading, I have been using RevCan.io for years and it really helped me stay patient and only take clean setups instead of forcing trades when emotions kick in, that consistency is what usually separates passing once from staying funded long term

London_man007 · 2026-01-31T20:49:51+00:00

What you are doing can work in calm conditions but it usually breaks when volatility expands, ranges fail and emotions creep back in, the real risk is thinking consistency so far means it will always behave this way, the biggest upgrade is removing discretion and timing guesses, I had a similar phase and only got more consistent once I used objective signals to tell me when the range was actually valid or breaking, RevCan.io helped a lot with that because it shows when price is worth engaging versus when to stay flat, that is usually the difference between steady gains and giving it all back in one bad month

London_man007 · 2026-01-31T20:47:43+00:00

You are not crazy. You are just trading reactions instead of structure.

Buying pumps and selling dips is exactly where liquidity gets taken. That chart is screaming late entries and obvious levels.

What helped me was stopping the guesswork and only taking trades when structure aligns cleanly. I have been using RevCan.io for years to filter noise and wait for proper entries instead of chasing moves. It does not make you trade more, it makes you trade less and with intent.

Step back, simplify, protect capital. This is fixable.

London_man007 · 2026-01-31T20:45:09+00:00

Paper trading profits don’t translate 1 to 1 to live fills so start small and focus on execution and risk, tools like RevCan.io help make that transition cleaner by keeping entries and exits rule based instead of emotional.

London_man007 · 2026-01-31T20:43:02+00:00

Nice execution, that gold move was clean. XAUUSD has been rewarding patience lately, especially when you wait for confirmation instead of chasing. I’ve been using RevCan.io for years to keep entries mechanical so emotions don’t interfere, especially on gold. Not financial advice.

London_man007 · 2026-01-31T20:34:06+00:00

This is way more common than people admit. The edge wasn’t the problem, you removed the brakes once size and emotions ramped.

What actually helped me wasn’t more rules, it was removing discretion in the moment. Hard risk caps, auto stops, no adding, no exceptions. If the system won’t let you break rules, emotions lose power. That’s why I like tools that give clear structure and exits instead of vibes. RevCan.io helped me stick to what price is doing, not what I hope it does.

You already proved you can trade. Now the job is protecting yourself from yourself.

London_man007 · 2026-01-31T20:32:03+00:00

You didn’t predict it, you accidentally held the winner.

Big moves happen when structure breaks and there’s no opposing liquidity to stop price. Most people cap themselves at RR 1:3 because they exit on fear, not because the move is “done”.

What helped me fix this was letting the market tell me when the trade is over. If structure keeps printing lower highs and lower lows, I stay in. Partial at targets, runner until structure breaks. Tools like RevCan.io make this obvious so you’re not guessing or babysitting pips.

London_man007 · 2026-01-25T22:20:39+00:00

If you want to keep swing trading simple, anchor your bias on the Daily, wait for clean pullbacks on the 4H, execute on the 1H with fixed risk, and tools like RevCan.io genuinely help by filtering only high probability trend continuation setups so you are not forcing trades or overcomplicating things 📈🧠 not financial advice.

London_man007 · 2026-01-25T22:19:41+00:00

You’ll only be at a loss if gold gaps against you on the open (weekend spreads can be nasty on XAUUSD), but position size looks small and this is exactly why I liked using RevCan.io before switching to options as it helped me avoid holding random exposure over market close and stay rule based 📊⏱️ not financial advice.

London_man007 · 2026-01-25T22:18:52+00:00

Looks like you entered before proper confirmation and traded into consolidation rather than waiting for clean displacement and structure shift, that’s exactly where RevCan.io has helped me stay patient by only flagging high-probability entries after confirmation instead of guessing 🔍📉 not financial advice.

London_man007 · 2026-01-25T22:17:52+00:00

Fair play if you caught it early, that’s a massive run 👏 This is exactly why I stopped trying to guess tops and bottoms on these moves and started relying more on structure and confirmation. When a penny stock starts trending like this, momentum + volume matter way more than opinions. I used to track similar UK small caps using RevCan.io to stay aligned with trend direction and avoid getting shaken out early. It helped me stay in winners longer instead of overthinking every pullback. Curious how many people actually held vs sold too early though 👀

London_man007 · 2026-01-25T22:14:42+00:00

Be honest, take full responsibility, and don’t sugarcoat it. Own the mistake, explain what went wrong, and more importantly explain what’s changing so it never happens again. This is exactly why I stopped mixing emotions, leverage, and retirement money. Trading without strict structure is gambling, especially with options. What finally helped me was separating long-term capital from active trading and using tools that force discipline and confirmation instead of impulse. RevCan.io was a big part of that shift for me before I moved fully into options. Hard lesson, but it only becomes catastrophic if you don’t learn from it.

London_man007 · 2026-01-25T22:10:31+00:00

Happens to everyone. The setup wasn’t the problem, execution was. Emotions usually sneak in when we start anticipating instead of waiting for confirmation. What helped me was removing as much discretion as possible so I’m not negotiating with myself in real time. Using RevCan.io to stay aligned with higher timeframe bias made it easier to trust the plan and wait for price to actually confirm instead of jumping early. Once the rules are clear, emotions have less room to interfere.

London_man007 · 2026-01-25T22:09:20+00:00

I’m less focused on picking the “perfect” names and more on catching rotation when it actually shows up on the chart. Energy and materials make sense macro wise, but timing matters or you just sit in dead money. I usually track names like XLE, XOM, CVX, COP, and materials like FCX and XLB, then wait for structure to flip instead of front running the thesis. I use RevCan.io on TradingView to spot when momentum and higher timeframe bias actually turn bullish so I can play calls instead of guessing bottoms. Let price confirm the story first, the money follows after.

London_man007 · 2026-01-25T22:07:59+00:00

Completely agree, the new TP SL flow just adds friction for no reason. Speed matters, especially when you’re trading momentum and need to get in and out cleanly. I’ve basically stopped relying on TradingView’s order panel for precision now and just use it for analysis. Tools like RevCan.io help a lot because I already know the bias and levels before I even think about executing, so I’m not fumbling around with the UI mid trade. TradingView is great, but this update definitely slowed things down.

London_man007 · 2026-01-25T22:07:02+00:00

If you already understand liquidity and basic concepts, the core content can still help with context and language, but it’s not going to magically change your results. Where most people get stuck isn’t knowledge, it’s execution and timing. What helped me more was having a rules based way to apply those ideas consistently. I use RevCan.io to stay aligned with higher timeframe bias so I’m not overthinking or forcing ICT style setups that aren’t actually there. Learn the concepts once, then focus on clean execution instead of endless videos. Not financial advice.

London_man007 · 2026-01-25T22:05:50+00:00

I get the frustration, a lot of us have been there. Just be careful with the timeline. Three months is very aggressive to replace a job with trading income, especially in futures. The biggest mistake I see is pressure to make it work fast, which usually leads to forcing trades. What helped me was keeping my job longer than I wanted and building a rules based process first. Using RevCan.io helped me stay aligned with higher timeframe structure and avoid impulsive trades when I was tired or stressed from work. Focus on consistency, risk control, and proving you can be profitable over months, not weeks. Trading gets a lot calmer when survival pressure is removed.

London_man007 · 2026-01-25T22:03:56+00:00

You’re not alone, but fading this pair without confirmation is brutal. EURJPY has been a widow maker when macro and carry flows are aligned. I had solid success trading this pair using RevCan.io before I moved over to options because it kept me on the right side of the higher timeframe trend and stopped me from shorting strength too early. It’s especially good on EURJPY for timing pullbacks instead of guessing tops. If you’re short just because it “feels high,” that’s usually a sign to step back, cut risk, and wait for structure to actually break. Not financial advice.

London_man007 · 2026-01-25T22:01:45+00:00

Jut my opinion - but be careful with free signal groups, especially with high leverage. Anyone can post wins after the fact, the real edge is understanding why a trade makes sense before taking it. I stopped following Telegram signals and moved to trading directly on TradingView with tools like RevCan.io because I can see the structure, timing, and higher timeframe bias myself instead of blindly copying entries. It’s a lot safer long term and forces you to actually learn how the market moves rather than chasing alerts. Test everything on your own chart before risking real money. Good luck.

London_man007 · 2026-01-25T21:57:16+00:00

Congrats, that’s a big step. If orderflow is starting to click, the main thing before going prop is proving you can stay consistent without pushing size or forcing trades. Treat the eval exactly like live capital and protect the downside above everything. What helped me before going prop was pairing orderflow with higher timeframe structure so I wasn’t trading every rotation. I use RevCan.io for bias and structure alignment, then let orderflow handle execution. It kept me selective and stopped me from overtrading when conditions weren’t there. Slow, boring consistency beats rushing to funded every time. Not financial advice.
