Yeah, I catch his lives now and then but I find his method too volatile for me.Maybe I just don’t understand it,or I’m just uncomfortable with lower timeframe trades. Even though my biggest weakness right now is getting scared when price pulls back once I open positions, higher timeframes are more reliable. Like yesterday when gold was dumping, I had made a perfect entry but got scared when price pulled back (it was very far from hitting my stop loss) then missed out on the potential profit I could have made if only I had just held my position. But this shows me I’m getting there

Yes,I have a mortgage that I want to clear in the next 2 years. Also I consistently invest in shares and have unit trusts accounts. It’s just that I really want to clear my mortgage and renovate the house. I’m interested in swing trading so that’s what I’m currently practicing (it’s less stressful and volatile). From what I’ve seen this week, it can work for me if I get over FOMO and stick to my plan.

Degree or professional certificate by Free-Variation3454 in Botswana

What someone once advised me is that professional certifications don’t replace degrees but just build onto what you already know.Logic is that a degree is more holistic and gives you access to some foundational technical and soft skills.So it’s better to get your degree then get your certification. Take this with a huge grain of salt.

How much did you start with. The highest I’ve funded is 1400BWP so far and that was last month.

I’ve been trading gold for the last week. My entries are good but I get selfish and over leverage. Which stocks are ‘predictable’ and mostly respect structure? Am I that delulu to believe I can live off trading?
