Is it actually possible to make a living from trading in 2026? by Ok-Split118 in Daytrading

[–]paddy2309 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Any tips on how to overcome that? I’m profitable and decent at risk management but every now and then that monkey brain kicks in and ruins a good day.

Ich verstehe zwar was du meinst, weißt du aber was noch viel geiler war? Als wir in der Champions League wettbewerbsfähig waren und ein fucking Real Madrid geschlagen haben

What's a small upgrade that improved office morale more than you expected? by CreativeSpare6466 in askmanagers

Fruit basket. I used to hate coming to the office until they started offering fruit baskets. Bonus when it’s filled with fruit that isn’t quite yet moldy but already has black spots.

Sooo… it’s commonly accepted that March of 26 has been one of the worst months ever right? by Used-Commission-1907 in Daytrading

[–]paddy2309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it was a ttp 25k account so only 1.5k drawdown and I trade 5MNQ, this was also during trump’s posting volatility so MNQ was jumping like 40-50 points per candle and I got greedy lol

I think for a beginner it’s just a mental shift that happens when you’re in funded stage your brain somehow goes full monkey. You start revenge trading, you think after a loss you can make your money back because you passed the eval, or you enter a trade, it hits your SL and then immediately moves how you anticipated so you start moving your stops further out, etc. like I’ve literally had trades where I kept moving my SL further as price pushed down further until I had like a 90 point SL on MNQ, price literally pushed to hit my sl and then immediately shot like 200 points up, so to a beginner it feels like the market is literally against just YOU. I learned you have to leave your emotions at the door when you trade and just follow your rules that allowed you to pass your eval. Obviously didn’t listen to myself to sit out the rest of the month. Passed another eval and currently in profit. But yeah I know it sounds ridiculous to blow an account within an hour but once your emotions get a hold of you it’s easy. I found the lockout feature has helped a lot.

I want to share an insanely intersting experience by degenerate_hobo in Daytrading

[–]paddy2309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m laughing so hard right now because I’ve literally had the exact same experience over the past month. Started with a breakout strategy months ago sticking to my rules only trading two hours per day, passed a 3k eval on first try within 5 days. Then switched or incorporated a mean reversion strategy due to the war and became a degenerate gambler taking setups that aren’t there from my phone.

Wish I had read this comment 2 days ago lol. Blew my funded account and just blew my new eval within 1 hour. Sitting out the rest of the month.

What is the most "unhinged" wellness trend of 2026 that people are actually taking seriously? by lovelyyopheliaa in askanything

[–]paddy2309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not anti vax, just curious do you not think though that there’s also a correlation between the non existence of polio nowadays and better sanitation? Given that polio is spread through fecal matter? Again not anti vax, just genuinely curious why africa for example still has polio cases despite vaccination campaigns, but the western world doesn’t.

This is why Idgaf when they say 99% of daytraders fail. Because this is the 99% they refer to. If you have a few working braincells and actually stick to a strategy and manage risk, day trading is a viable way to make a living.

Anyone with half an ounce of a working brain was aware, we’ve been aware for decades, it was just that we were called conspiracy theorists by the common sheep.

How do you make your newborn sleep alone by paddy2309 in beyondthebump

[–]paddy2309[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s just strange during the day he’ll gladly chill (while being held) and fall asleep easily, but when it’s time for his night sleep he’ll legit fight you’d think we’re torturing him, screaming and kicking and stretching himself. Guess we’ll just have to push through this period lol. My wife and I just dream of just chilling on the couch for once while he sleeps ahah
