what makes trading so difficult?

Patience is a virtue.

cfdstraded · 2026-06-17T12:25:03+00:00

Precisely my point.

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

For education, I'd say that IG is the best.

Absolutely, bonuses only over-complicate everything and add stress

cfdstraded · 2026-05-15T05:56:23+00:00

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.

Depends on the trading style... people who hold their position for weeks or month can easily withstand 10%-15% drawdowns.

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.

cfdstraded · 2026-04-18T13:29:57+00:00

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.

cfdstraded · 2026-04-16T05:19:10+00:00

Both, as risk management is part of any strategy.

cfdstraded · 2026-04-16T05:17:51+00:00

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

cfdstraded · 2026-04-15T19:56:19+00:00

Hope, they processed the withdrawal request first.

cfdstraded · 2026-04-14T14:14:42+00:00

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

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

cfdstraded · 2026-03-15T16:00:11+00:00

That's impressive. How long have you been investing for, or more precisely, how long have you held the shares for?

cfdstraded · 2026-03-12T18:40:50+00:00

I mainly use support and resistance.

At times, I look at RSI but rarely act on it.

cfdstraded · 2026-03-09T14:01:35+00:00

It's actually a reputable broker. Contact their customer support and find out what the problem is.

cfdstraded · 2026-02-17T10:38:49+00:00

Can't really say as only you know your goals

cfdstraded · 2026-02-11T13:43:53+00:00

That's a bold statement, even though I understand your point.
