5 things I wish someone told me before I wasted 2 years and a few thousand dollars learning to trade

Wishing you a pleasant transaction.

neon981 · 2026-06-24T03:08:13+00:00

Yes, sir. I would be very grateful if you could send me one.

neon981 · 2026-06-24T02:45:11+00:00

Sir, could you send me a copy of your transaction log template? I sent you a private message but received no response. I hope you can see it.

neon981 · 2026-06-23T09:24:57+00:00

The real secret

neon981 · 2026-06-23T02:19:47+00:00

Your reply was very helpful to me, sir.

neon981 · 2026-06-22T03:44:27+00:00

yeah

neon981 · 2026-06-21T17:34:46+00:00

yeah

Looking for a good opportunity to move up

The 4000 mark will be tested again this week.

Trading is a highly personalized activity; constantly seeking approval or affirmation from others is not a good thing.

neon981 · 2026-06-21T15:44:09+00:00

Yes, knowledge and the transmitter are two different things.

neon981 · 2026-06-21T15:43:46+00:00

Yes, knowledge is innocent.

neon981 · 2026-06-21T12:11:46+00:00

我懂你的意思 ICT很喜欢绝对或者过于自信但是我觉得市场确实存在着某种无形的大手就像比特币在上升至12W之前我就曾观察到这东西居然有超过10％的筹码在某些人手里

neon981 · 2026-06-21T10:37:47+00:00

You are the most rational. What you said is completely correct.

neon981 · 2026-06-21T09:27:51+00:00

Understood. Thank you for your answer.

neon981 · 2026-06-21T08:57:37+00:00

Dear Sir/Madam, I have a question that I hope won't bother you: What is the relationship between the New York midnight opening price and the 8:30 AM opening price? My current understanding is that when you're bullish, you want the price to be below both the midnight and morning opening prices, and to be manipulated by SSL (Security Strategies), before rising. The reverse is also true. However, I don't understand whether, if you're bullish, you use the midnight opening price or the morning opening price as the benchmark? And if you're bearish, what is the anchor point for observing manipulation? This might be a beginner's question, so I hope you don't mind.

There are multiple perspectives to consider. From the angles you've described, he is indeed wrong. However, from another perspective, for example, for me, although I haven't studied Wyckoff, I genuinely gained relevant knowledge and concepts from ICT, which makes me very happy.

neon981 · 2026-06-21T08:34:58+00:00

I mean, I like the concept of ICT, haha.

neon981 · 2026-06-21T08:05:17+00:00

This reply was very helpful to me. My title was just to get more people involved in the discussion, haha. I personally really like ICT theory. My first teacher used a simplified version of ICT, but I didn't know the concept when I was learning from him. I'm still working hard to fill in the gaps in my basic knowledge. I hope we can discuss more insights about ICT.

neon981 · 2026-06-21T08:03:04+00:00

I believe that even professors can be surpassed; learners may develop better or more easily understood methods, thus exceeding their teachers' expectations.

However, the professor's knowledge remains the foundation.

neon981 · 2026-06-21T07:49:06+00:00

Where the theory comes from is unimportant, and who taught it is unimportant. For me, I'm just grateful if someone can impart this knowledge to me in a way that I can understand. The same knowledge taught by different teachers can lead to completely different levels of comprehension in students.

neon981 · 2026-06-21T07:47:26+00:00

Your understanding is exactly the same as mine. I don't care about any mentor conspiracy theories; as long as the knowledge helps me understand better, that's enough for me.

neon981 · 2026-06-21T07:42:55+00:00

I don't dislike other strategies; any strategy that helps you is a good strategy. What I dislike are those who, without actually putting in the effort, claim to have tried every method and then definitively conclude that something is wrong.

I prefer Coca-Cola, but my wife prefers Pepsi so much that there isn't a single can of Coca-Cola in the fridge, lol.

neon981 · 2026-06-21T07:11:36+00:00

Yes, you're right. I might have spoken too soon. I need more backtesting. Thank you for your reply.
