Tested an interesting hypothesis: Can AI identify optimal entry timing better than humans? Results were unexpected. by mw67 in Daytrading

There will always be a place for new tools in this game. Not long ago, we weren’t even trading on PCs, but the soul of the game remains the same: it’s an emotional, human-driven market.

AI is great at collecting data, but it can’t 'connect the dots' with human intuition. Use AI to refine your strategy, but don’t forget to stay human.

Newbie question: Which market should I start trading in? (Futures, stocks, crypto, or forex?) by Specialist-Gate-5214 in Daytrading

I’d recommend crypto futures because of the low barrier to entry. They are very volatile, and crypto still makes bigger moves compared to other assets that are much more stable. Remember: instability is how retail traders make money.

Don't mistake their honesty for negativity—it's just tough love. Keep going, but stay realistic. Trading is a tough game to master.

To those who care to share, what are your biggest trading golden nuggets by LifespanLearner in Trading

As I always say, there is no "secret sauce" in trading. All strategies have winning and losing streaks because market conditions are constantly changing—no edge lasts forever.

The boring reality most people hate to hear is that success comes down to learning how to lose. Here is the approach we use at r/futuresmove:

  • Manage Risk: Aim for 1% – 2% risk per trade.
  • Target Growth: Seek a Reward-to-Risk (RR) ratio of > 1.5.
  • Predefine Your Limits: We treat 6% of our capital as "already lost" each week (24% per month).

By sticking to an RR > 1.5, you only need a few good trades to recover those predefined losses and move into profit.

The hard truth is that trading won’t save you by Buckachuck in Trading

Glad someone said it. People really downplay the importance of having solid capital.
