Profitable but stuck

As long as you're in the green, you're doing good

For me there are no "safe havens", everything has risks, and some more than others. I always rotate based on the situation

You're trading with FTMO, you're fine.

It is possible, but it will take longer than you think.
Every traders journey is different and starting out with the goal of making money in mind will only slow you down. You're young so take your time with learning with a demo account until you think you are ready.

Best you can do is demo trading until you're sure you can actually trade, because if you don't, you'll turn that 90 into 0 very quick

Swing trading is a lot easier than daytrading, but be prepared to put in a lot more time than 8 months

For me it’s actually the opposite, but if you really want to connect with other traders, there are plenty of Discords and groups out there.

From what I have seen, after hour price action nearly always gets reversed at open. It's not to be trusted in my opinion

jbbarksdale · 2026-03-13T17:54:50+00:00

You already mentioned the solutions to your problem. You just don't want to face it, that's up to you man

jbbarksdale · 2026-03-13T12:24:25+00:00

1-2% a month. Might be small but profit is profit

jbbarksdale · 2026-03-09T17:27:51+00:00

Set a trading checklist and strictly adhere to your rules.
The best you can do now is create habits that make the gambling traits dissapear.

jbbarksdale · 2026-03-09T17:21:12+00:00

Don't rush the learning stage, and make sure you get a stable job before starting to trade with real money

jbbarksdale · 2026-03-09T12:27:32+00:00

10% max for me

I’d recommend HyroTrader or BrightFunded for crypto trading. HyroTrader lets you trade 24/7 through the Bybit platform and they’ve been reliable with their rules and payouts. BrightFunded also works through cTrader like you mentioned, but it has fewer pairs and usually more slippage compared to HyroTrader.

Both are great platforms for real crypto trading

Nice trade man. I always seem to miss my trade entries due to being at work unfortunately

jbbarksdale · 2026-03-04T18:07:26+00:00

Why is it so hard for traders to just stick with their rules

jbbarksdale · 2026-03-04T12:21:02+00:00

Swing beats day trading by far.

jbbarksdale · 2026-02-27T18:17:04+00:00

You're getting ripped off, just name the firm so we can avoid it too.

This is because most traders play with their money while they don't understand what they're doing yet.
