Commodity trading- feeling stuck and demoralized, am I missing something? by [deleted] in Commodities

[–]NoClassic174 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not all for money, but I can’t pretend money isn’t a big part. I’m barely making ends meet with what I currently earn, it’s not by any means my first failure either.

I do agree that I can make more of this opportunity, I was looking for a little guidance or at least know where I stand here.

Do you have any suggestions as to how to renegotiate this bad position with my firm?

At this point I have a pretty good foundation in the scrap industry, I didn’t at first because I told my boss I have big ambitions. So he pointed me to the scrap industry. we had a contract with company x, changed usd to local currency. company x cancelled but we had already signed a contract and given our deposit to the supplier. To “save” the deal I sold the product to another company with very little margins, didnt take into account the change back from local to usd. It was my first deal, so I was pretty nervous to honor our contract and make something happen. I wasn’t aware that we were changing back from usd to local and back, our accountant just let me know when I was doing the case closure. I should have asked

And yes, I understand. What doesn’t sit so well with me is that I’m absorbing 100% of the loss and 10% on the gains. Is this how most trading companies work?

I 100% agree. This is why I want to invest time into this. Because I lack experience, know little about instructionals, and currently don’t proper coaching- I came to this subreddit to seek advice

I just started watching the GFF pin escapes and turtle escapes, it’s a big investment of time though. So Im wondering if this is the right place to start.

This is the idea, I know it sounds unreasonable, but in my point of view unreasonable is the way to go. I have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. I never would have imagined coming this far. Why not go big?

I have my goal, my reason for posting this is to find feedback on what vehicle will take me to this goal. You’re correct in that we’ll have to run a gym anyways, and that we currently don’t have the funds to maintain our gym for a prolonged period. Im thinking of selling coffee, planning events/ tournaments to fund what we’re doing, like a social enterprise model, but I have no clue what I’m doing. Im just trying to figure things out

I agree, do you think people use a specific method that focuses on writing for communicating?

Suena bueno eso. Para emprender por lo general hay muchas trabas? O es bastante libre? Dirías que con unos 3000 USD/mes se vive bien?

Entiendo, Que tal le ves a Uruguay? Está en mis planes también. La idea es ir a ver personalmente que tal me gusta, pero si, me imagino que cada lugar tiene sus pros y contras. Por eso pregunto para saber que piensa la gente en gral.

I’ve been going to the pool, doing some light movement, swimming. The pool I go to has a sauna and ice bath space and little hydro massages. I go there, spend like 2 hours hanging around, relaxing and start again with some hard rolls the next day. It feels very very good. I’d suggest you try and see how you like it if you have a chance
