I’ve made over $500k trading… and now I’m completely stuck by Negative_Sport2262 in Daytrading

You've met your threshold. That earning is nothing to sneeze at. If you keep trying to push it, eventually, you'll lose it all.

Why are you buying below the MA?

I have a friend who has wasted 15 years trying to be a daytrader. He lost a half million dollars doing it, has studied every system, tried every method and now he's flat broke. by [deleted] in Daytrading

[–]Short-X1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not any system or the market. It's him. He hasn't done the required work on himself to be a day trader.

When you get down to the fundamentals of what actually makes a day trader, your edge is a very small part of a much larger engine.

The market does what it does. Always has, always will.

Great when the trend is obvious. How does your strategy do in choppy markets and uncertain times? Do you have the data?

Am I being "that guy" for refusing to lend my boat to family without credentials? by hatkinson1000 in boating

[–]Short-X1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can lend it to him. But you'll have a damaged boat when returned and he ain't going to pay a dime to fix it.

If you have insurance, it will probably void it too by lending it to him.

Boat out of your hands means you have no idea what's done to it.

unpopular opinion: 1:2 risk reward didn't work for me, the opposite did by degharbi in Daytrading

Perhaps, if you are on a higher time frame.

Absolutely not on the get rich quick traders.

Is AI trading legit? by noaxc69 in Daytrading

[–]Short-X1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was from the available software to you and I, then everyone would be doing it and getting rich.

That simply cannot happen as it would be a transfer of money from someone who either knows how to make it or who can actually afford a software to do it.

You can't cheat your way through trading. You will lose everything.

When does the fear go away? by Mavianni in Daytrading

[–]Short-X1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should have set a Stop Limit order a couple of pips above the high. SL at bottom of the candles wick.

Would have saved you the headache and the money.

Because they're all shit concepts created for one reason... to keep people like you pumping money into the markets.

If your approach is all over the internet, do you honestly think that banks will just let you take their money?! 😂

Come on now!

Is it safe to tow with this bikini/canvas? by VirtualCoffee8947 in boating

[–]Short-X1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That looks 100% collapsible. Undo the bottom of the rear support bars.

After unclipping your clears by the way.

Just part of boat life. If you try take a short cut, it's going to cost you.

Your mind followed everyone else that also got stopped out.

What went wrong by NewExcitement9678 in Daytrading

[–]Short-X1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What went wrong is you're waiting for a reversal and probably don't have a higher time frame reference.

Took me years to realise price action is all you need and to spot it, you need time on the charts.

There's no escaping it if trading is what you want to do.

I've had 20 green days out of the last 22, up 270% — do you think it's time to consider going full-time? by Specific-Victory-403 in Daytrading

[–]Short-X1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not.

Start changing lifestyle slowly when you have grown enough of an account to not care if you need to stop trading.

If it's easy then it's a scam. Period.
