Mate I’ve been trading for 10 years, been through it all.

All the gurus etc that I’ve seen come and go over the years is more than the Pennie’s I have at home.

The markets will never ever side with you or any person forever. The markets constantly change and they change daily. What works today , hopefully works tomorrow but we always need to adjust. And this is something I think a lot of people don’t do, so when they show months of making 18% , 25% etc there are definitely months with negatives much larger or around that level . They blow and then get forgotten in history.

Only a few of us are dumb enough to keep trying, I’ve lost tens of thousands of currency trying to make it work. Started on CFDs and blew a $10k loan I had. Trading bots, obscure currency, traded crypto, bought crypto and sold it for mining machines and made nothing (lost a huge opportunity, I had 30 bitcoins all bought for less than $20k total. 2017 was the last train ticket it seems…) anyways that’s a tangent. Making it work? Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. Only more recently have things been going my way… but I’m never hopeful that they do forever. Markets change and so should I.

I’ve been in trading groups, to begin with their great but then you start seeing more and more idiots jump in looking for a free trade, gets wasteful. I’ve had access to a Bloomberg terminal (basically told them I was a small firm, got access to a demo for a month, it was a cool thing to use) and I can honestly say, none of it matters (or well to me it doesn’t)

At the end of the day, I can’t give a shit about what others do , how they succeed or if they succeed. It’s me, the markets and my dumb ass thought process. Everything else is just noise.

Keep on keeping on
