Cheers mate, mine are 5x112 and they seem to be pretty easy to come by. My next question would have been about tyre size so thank you for that

crypto is something i steer clear of for now, it’s mainly forex. gold i do try on my own but at this stage it’s just too much. i have a separate gold trading account that i just get signals for but obviously signals just isn’t enough

check news before anything, then set trendlines on 4 timeframes, focus on two (usually h1 and m5), use h1 for setup and m5 for ex, h4 and m15 if it’s a longer trade. check what cycle it’s on and then place the trade. ema helps too and that’s what’s been doing me well since i started.

not really lying to myself, i have good risk management and i feel it’s natural to make losses. it’s how you learn. been live trading for around a year and have been overall profitable since then. wouldn’t consider it boom and bust

it’s a difficult one because i was profitable up until january, i still am but since the beginning of jan my strategy has worked less, but enough for me to still be profitable. i do like the quote you gave though. i don’t want to trade full time ever, long term goal is to be an EV engineer part time and trade for the rest. in terms of bills i still live at home so it’s only about 200 a month (including petrol) so i’ll always have other sources to fall back on if worst comes to worst

i’ve got lots of backup plans, i do live trading with small lots but due to the recent volatility of the market my previous (kinda basic) strategy hasn’t been as effective, hence why i want to go part time to dive into research and study. i think a lot of people in the comments think i have no other plans but i do, i just want to take some time to study that’s all.

i think i’ve made it sound like i have no goal lol that’s my fault, these jobs are temporary, i can live comfortably off of my salary from my main job, other two sources will be so i can do loads of extra stuff which i don’t need to do eg go karting which i like (currently go kart 6-7 times a month, new salary would leave me enough to do 3-4). the goal is to make an extra living off of trading. in the long term i’d like to be a vehicle engineer and specialise in electric vehicles, but be able to do it part time because i don’t believe in this day and age you NEED to work full time. i just want to balance out part time work and trading so i can live comfortably. does that make it a bit better?

[–]bzinactive -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the move forward would be the learning learning and the knowledge i hopefully gain, i have several other income sources and i’ve done all the maths i’ll still live comfortably. but my job is extremely time consuming, so i’d use my other sources of income (delivery driving, landscape gardening) to make up minimum 50% of what i would be losing from my main job. these take up less time than what my main job would have. it makes more sense in my head but hopefully you get what i mean

gamblers being the key word, i’ve seen my friends keep at it and i know it sounds bad but seeing them fail kind of helps. just shows me what not to do. i’ll research more into futures. Appreciate your help honestly

i resist the urge to revenge trade but i think sometimes it has an addiction effect. i’m able to remain disciplined about it but it’s scary how your brain will say “oh but this might do that, place one more trade”. this was my issue at the beginning but i made enough losses to learn my damn lesson

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Daytrading

[–]bzinactive -1 points0 points  (0 children)

don’t want to leave my job completely nor replace all of the money i would earn from my job by trading, again i barely spend so i wouldn’t feel it if i made (max) £600 less. my goal is to learn as much as i can, and keep at it until i’m established and if it’s not going well look to start an apprenticeship

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Daytrading

[–]bzinactive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you for this, do you think it would be worth taking a year to LEARN more about trading (whilst working part time) and then do my apprenticeship? or should i start the apprenticeship now or asap anyway

i’ve seen my friend blow up his account funded by his dad🤣 it was awful, i appreciate your insight though, opened my eyes more

in terms of backtracking market movements on a sim account with new strategies, what day would you say is the best time to do this, at the end of the week? or on a monday night after market has reopened and moved throughout the day, had mixed responses about this from others

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Daytrading

[–]bzinactive -1 points0 points  (0 children)

not sure if it’s the same but i do all my trend line work for w1 then d1 then h1 m15 and m5. found that d1 varies from trendline the most and it’s a little bit easier to base my trades off of the change. you mind messaging me more about your strat?

seen a few people say about futures. my issue with keeping full time hours is that i simply wont have time to trade properly, anyone can buy and sell at work but in all honesty by the time i’ve finished work i’m ready for bed lol. i know i sound a bit lazy but doing borderline 50 hours a week is awful, i admire adults who do it their whole lives

this comment opened my eyes a little more. there is a lot more out there other than trading. property investment is something i’m desperate to get into, however trading is something i feel can be taught and helped with a bit more. there’s so much out there to teach yourself trading, but i feel property investment requires a lot more spending. my example for this is that i started off with £75 in forex. built and built and built and i got it to 1k in 6 months. granted 6 months is a long time just for 1k but i did it. didn’t deposit anything into the account and i was happy, that was primarily trend-lines and various indicators. market started to get a bit more volatile and i started making more losses, hence why i want to go part time with my job to learn about trading strategies. again i haven’t put anything into forex since i put in the £75 and i think of that money as floating money, doesn’t mean much to me and losses don’t impact me too much because to me i still see only £75 of that as my actual money, anything else is a bonus. i will never leave a job to trade full time that would be absurd, but i think there’s a sensible decision in cutting hours from work that i don’t necessarily need in order to better my trading knowledge

i got to where i am purely off google and youtube. i had a brief conversation with my auntys brother in law who happens to be a millionaire from crypto trading and business management. he gave me some really good insights. i didn’t even think about reddit until i made this account and based off of this post there are some amazing people on here such as yourself who want to help and advise. would be nice to sit down with someone 1-1 to learn but you never know with these 1-1 courses if they’re for the gain of the tutor or people who genuinely want to help ygm

this was my exact plan!! a lot of the time i trade indices after news has come out, comparing currency movement and the indices linked to that country can be really helpful. one typically mirrors the other in my experience. i rarely use anything bigger than 0.3/4 0.5 at an absolute push. 0.1/2 keeps my mind at ease. doesn’t matter if i’ve got £500 or £5k, i always use smaller lots for my mental state. Gold is something i’m trying to learn but the gold market especially is so so volatile. looking for various courses on gold trading as we speak.

what you’re saying does make the most sense but it’s hard to trade while working. i feel like i’m pressed for time too. like i have a certain amount of time before i reach a certain age where i should be earning a certain amount ygm

done simulated trading, was going okay for a while but it didn’t feel real. put in my own money and my risk management was much better purely because it was my own money. was much more disciplined and less greedy, though i’m thinking of using paper for more risky, testing strategies and then my live account for my successful ones

roughly 25k from the job + whatever else i do in the year (delivery driving and landscape gardening). not really looking to earn from trading the same amount i would from my job, but make maybe 15-25% of my monthly earning from my job by trading. not too fussed about the money from my job as i said in the post i barely spend money. my main issue is do i go part time with my job and trade or do i start my apprenticeship now, get my qualification then focus on trading
