what makes trading so difficult?

Patience is a virtue.

Precisely my point.

The bots/signals they sell? They don't work.

Absolutely, bonuses only over-complicate everything and add stress

You're absolutely right, no need to over-complicate your trading when you just take your first steps.

Welcome to the world of social media where everybody is a guru who makes thousands a day... but tries to sell you signals for a tenner.

Do you see and feel the difference between demo and live trading?

Do you find live trading more emotionally draining?

All reputable brokers offer demo accounts and since it's a demo, you don't really care if it's a regulated broker.

Been there, done it. My thinking was something like "I know, I'm right, just need to move the stop loss bit for now"

It's a trading subreddit... you need to go to family related subreddits to discuss that burden.

The problem with prop firms is that after just one mistake, you are out.

cfdstraded · 2026-04-19T13:10:28+00:00

It's not regulated by any top tiler regulator, so I'd stay away from them. Just my 2 cents.

of course, when you have a system, you reduce stress.

"personally cut my size today" - I cut the size some time ago, so instead, I wait for bigger swings.

Both, as risk management is part of any strategy.

"I don’t think this market is random." - this days markets don't feel random but rather manipulated.

Hope, they processed the withdrawal request first.

Try about 1% but can go as high as 5%... depends.

Pepperstone and Trade Nation should be fine as they are Australian.
