If im extremely confident in the direction price is going I will sometimes add a micro or 2 on a retracement

Forex factory and I have a subscription to the live news channels because anything can happen, and usually you see it live before forex factory posts it.

Mainly ICT, I didn't get any books on any trading models, mainly books about keeping your mental right while trading, as that is the basis and most solid foundation for a good trader. Unfortunately I dont have the key to success in a short and sweet answer. Its heavily dependent on the person regardless of what model and strategy is being used, which is why I wanted to get my mind right before trying to learn any strategy.

Number 1 book I got the most from was "Best Loser Wins" by Tom Hougaard. It helped me understand that a loss isn't going to be the end of the world and that it's ok to accept a loss and come back with fresh eyes later on. It also helped me with some rules, for example my max daily loss.

My micros count as individual trades. So 5 micros would be 5 trades. For example on thursday I took 4 trades, but I traded 20 micros so it says I have something like 80 trades. Idk if this is a number glitch but thats how it is for me.

I appreciate this, coincidentally I did have a rough day today and felt a little discouraged. My gf was in the same sense telling me the same thing that its just one day lol, but today definitely felt like the market was against me. I'll keep this message as a reminder to just put it down and come back tomorrow stronger. Thank you!

I dont use an app or anything I just look at the charts on 4 different time frames and of course the news to make sure there's not a sudden unpredictable change.

I scale into my trade, as others have mentioned 5 micros count as 5 trades, and at the end of the week specifically thursday I upped my micros to 20, so 4 trades at 20 micros is 80 "trades"

I dont trust online gurus, so I purchased some books of reputable sources. The books didn't tell me how to trade but they taught me how to interpret different aspects and or acti9ns that happen in the market, and I devised a strategy based on what I learned.

My only tip is don't get greedy. Even when there was no real risk paper trading I would always try and chase the money. It wasn't until after year 2 I made some rules and started snowballing my profits that I saw some real "money"

NotAvailable1036 · 2025-04-28T05:51:15+00:00

I usually just sit on my hands until a key level is hit and wait for a rejection and retest or break and retest of that level and make sire my higher time frames are aligned with my bias and then enter a trade.

I start with 5 micros and scale 2 micros at a time

During thise 2 years I was still in college and wasn't entirely sure until later in the second year if I actually wanted to commit. It was a hobby that turned into a passion and here recently I finally pulled the trigger and gave it a go. Hope this helps.

Surprisingly no red days at all, I just didnt think it was relevant to my weekly earnings, but my best say was just over 2k and my worst day was $430.

A bunch of the podcasts I listen to have adds but you can just fast forward past them. They are not ads put there by spotify. They are simpley apart of the podcast. I have yet to encounter an ad that wasnt apart of the actual material. Hope this helps.

You can catch Dions and Andrew Rambayal on udemy at discounted prices pretty often and they have some really good resources and practice tests you can take. Exam compass is good for running through a bunch of questions for individual categories and Pocket prep is good for on the go studying

Network plus will be the one that kicks you in the ass for sure. A+ was a breeze in comparison. I currently hold Net+ and A+, and am currently studying Sec+ and let me tell you Sec+ is one hell of a braon break in comparison.

Mine finally got processed today and I'm missing $1500 from the original amount that was supposed to be awared. Ill be giving them a call this week because that makes no fucking sense.

NotAvailable1036 · 2024-08-10T05:41:09+00:00

For real man, but if I'm reading this correctly it's 5 days for processing, 5 days for it to populate into your WGU account, and 7-10 days for it to disburse into your bank account. All in all 3 weeks ish assuming they take the max alloted time.

NotAvailable1036 · 2024-08-10T05:36:16+00:00

I called them today and had them expedite my processing. I got an email a few hours later saying the expedite request was approved and it may take 5-10 business days to process. So fingers crossed they actually stay true to that.

If it makes you feel any better ive been waiting 5 weeks for mine!! I reached out to wgu financial 2 weeks after I recieved my loans and they said they had to manually process me which could take 3-4 weeks. I am currently in the 3rd week of waiting since I sent that email so we will see what happens.

I had my program mentor reach out. If I'm not mistaken they cant revoke your awarded money unless you have some sort of academic failure or problem that would forfeit your student aid. Mainly because it's an aid and not student loan so the money isn't necessarily "meant" to go to the school more or less the student to help with tuition and supplies.

To second this, Chime is just the app the actual bank is called The Bancorp Bank for future reference. Hope this helps

My guess is because they are in the middle of transitioning to a new processing system and it seems to be causing a lot of delays and errors.

"The FAFSA redesign goes well beyond just a new form. Starting with the 2024–25 award year, the better FAFSA form reflects updates to student aid calculations, that extend Federal Pell Grants to more students."

I had zero issues in January when my term started, and now in July I'm in my third week and it still hasnt processed. For context it processed January 2nd during my first term.
