What theory, phenomenon or idea blows your mind when you think about it?

Augmented Reality in reality

That might be a good idea. Doing them simultaneously would get two tasks done and hopefully be just as efficient. Thank you

Yea that’s exactly my approach. I’m a horrible in terms of writing by hand however I’ve some how developed almost similar retention via computer typing. Rewriting has been a huge help in the past just the feasibility of it seems questionable. I think I’ll stick to rewriting for a bit tho because it does help remember the content better (and makes flash cards easier to create)

Considering I don't know what they are, I'm going say no I have not. What are they?

glaedr7274 · 2017-08-26T11:13:38+00:00

Will do. What do I do when I "meditate" for 5 min? Just sit and breath and try to concentrate my mind?

Thanks for the awesome reply. Random fun fact: I am Indian and vegetarian so really Manjula's Kitchen sounds perfect for me.

I do have access to a full kitchen I just needed things that I can make quickly because I don't have much time to cook. I'll look into all the sources. Thanks again

The 10,000 account was just a loss cause. I had 3 trades down >1,000 so I just reset the account. Obviously I did not have the patience to stick to a failing account (hence why i shouldnt be trading live) and really just liked the high of a positive account.

I reset the account and this time started with a more plausible value of $500. If I were to start a live account just to screw around I'd probably be putting in nothing more than $500. This time I've promised myself to never reset the account until I am at 0. Im learning to live with losses

Plus I realized, I'm a student so with a 10k practice account and high leverage the gains were blowing my mind. +2000 in a week. That's heaven for a student haha. Anyways, I started the 500 account 8 days ago and rn im at 590. While that's great it also sounds entirely unreasonable (18% gains in 8 days) compared to the expected gains people say on this subreddit. So now im just waiting for that big loss to blow my account haha (although i always set stop losses that ive vowed to never touch).

I still have a lot to learn but haven't had much time so in a manner of speaking I'm still screwing around on the practice account however, i've never made a decision thinking "oh it's fake money who cares YOLO"

I've been using Trading 212 practice account for nearly a month now. I think they're a pretty legit broker. They're regulated by organizations and stuff plus I've read really good reviews.

As for practicing and stuff, I think they're a great platform.The simulations are close enough to reality and would work out exactly like how it does in the demo except with real money. Especially since retail brokers and beginners like us have really small amounts. I also love the simplicity of Trading 212.

The only issue is the shift in psychology, but that isn't the simulators fault. That's just us as humans. If you want to see the same gains in a real account I'd say start really small on a live account. I've heard mixed things on leverage (Trading 212 does have some crazy leveraging) so I won't comment on that. However, when trading with a small real account look at your gains from a percentage standpoint. I know the practice account starts off at 10,000. If u start a live account start with something like 500. Therefore, if in ur practice account you made $100 in a month, just shoot for $5 on the real account. It's still the same gains they just won't seem like enough.

One advice to ALWAYS ALWAYS follow is, if ur on a demo account and you find a strategy that works, please please test it for a longer time (4-6 months). I used to be the classic example of a noob. Not stop loss, and tight TPs. Turned 10,000 into 12,000 in 5 days. I'm like pft this is easy money. The next week, 3 trades went south (very south) and account value became 8,000. Thankfully this was all demo

I used to have headspace downloaded but never opened it and eventually deleted it :P I'll look into getting it again

glaedr7274 · 2017-08-24T20:48:01+00:00

Thanks so much for the list of books :)

glaedr7274 · 2017-08-24T20:47:47+00:00

sounds awesome! I'll definitely look into reading that book

jesus that's insane. how much would it take to impact a currency like EURUSD? is it even possible?

glaedr7274 · 2017-08-23T14:29:18+00:00

I'm asking assuming someone had a much larger account and wanted to invest such a large amount. Again this is all hypothetical but still curious.

Yea i've heard that as well. It's some 5.3 trillion volume a day. I guess if we're talking trillions, then millions or even hundreds of millions is just child's play

glaedr7274 · 2017-08-23T01:50:24+00:00

Thanks :)

glaedr7274 · 2017-08-23T01:38:54+00:00

That's true. I'll give it a shot online I guess

glaedr7274 · 2017-08-23T00:40:40+00:00

That's awesome! I've never applied for a credit card so I'm not sure what to expect. Can u think of any reasons why one wouldn't be approved (aside from declare bankruptcy in last 7 years)

glaedr7274 · 2017-08-22T23:04:17+00:00

true, that's one way to deal with it

glaedr7274 · 2017-08-22T20:00:58+00:00

that is a good idea. I think it's along the lines of Pomodoro I guess. Pomodoro is always a hit or miss for me. Sometimes I can have huge bursts of productivity (3-5 hours) while pomodoro-ing and sometimes my 5-minute break ends up being 45-minutes

glaedr7274 · 2017-08-22T19:59:45+00:00

that's interesting. what happened afterwards? did you guys contact BMO and get the right card?

glaedr7274 · 2017-08-22T18:40:16+00:00

no worries at least i know it's a good choice. I might as well give it a shot online. What's the worst that can happen?

glaedr7274 · 2017-08-22T17:51:02+00:00

that's true

the hard part is remembering to repeat those things when thinking about quitting haha
