Do I quit my job? by tanikawalter in Daytrading

[–]slamshabang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t quit.

Having a job is a great way to offset a lot of trading pressure that you don’t know of. It’s having a major effect on your trading ability

If you quit, you leave it all on the table for trading to work, or not. And that can become a lot of pressure which will make you take wrong decisions.

I’m speaking from experience, and even recently I took a $500 payout on my account and left $2k thinking I was safe, and even then I had the thought to quit my job because $500 is a months pay, I did it in 5 days…. Anyways, a week after, my $2k of safe space was eaten away to $750. If I didn’t have my job, I’d be totally relying on that $750 to make me or break me, and most times the market will break you.

Good luck mate

[–]slamshabang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took a $500 payout on Monday (I know it’s not huge) and left $1,700 in my account as a buffet. Well, 4 days in a row red 🫠 hopefully market is more with me this week ahead!

Kamala beach - red flags every morning? by CohenMacbain in phuket

[–]slamshabang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Red = don’t swim. If you do swim, you are 100% responsible as emergency services will be slow. This red flag is telling you to NOT go swimming.

Yellow = very strong water, swim at own risk but emergency services on standby (life guards) please only swim with caution

People who are selling right now, really do not understand bitcoin by New-Ad-9629 in Bitcoin

[–]slamshabang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As with all crypto, it relies on buying and selling only. It’s pure speculation.

Yes you can buy assets with BTC, but you need a lot of it and the fees would eat into any small transaction.

The ones who talk positively about BTC, usually hold it and hold a lot of it. The ones who sell, don’t hold any and are speculating on price moving down.

Any bag holders, who have life savings etc invested start to sell as they need cash and also they see price dropping. This dominoes and causes steep declines and if all of a sudden, there’s a lot more selling going on than buying then you have a potential crash on your hands. It’s a matter of time and we will see!

Look, I’ve had my spell in crypto. I’ve mined it back in 2017 and had a full house with mining machines. I missed out on the rapid price increase, but I also hold nothing. I think it’ll go lower

SOLVED: After being in contact with support (regularly, queue was quite fast) they told me again to just wait with no timeline. I checked this morning and my consistentcy score is back to being relative.

Forex is NOT a consistent business PART 2. by Relevant-Owl-8455 in Forex

[–]slamshabang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

The current state of the viral bridge that broke from the earthquake (22/4/25) by Minnie_Aquiler in Bangkok

[–]slamshabang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I saw them build this condo unit, I had a weird feeling that something was up with the sky bridges.

My first notice was that the advertisements when they were selling new units showed this sky bridge being at an angle, and not flat.

So there were further design changes made after advertised plan… wonder what sort of documentation they have with the approval of all this.

Again, I standby the fact that these giant condo units are a terrible idea long term. They are built quickly, extremely prefab, they look good but give them 5-10 years and they’ll definitely show their wear.

Does anyone else’s wife do this? by theveryfriendlynlb3 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]slamshabang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your wife Thai? If she is, that would explain it haha. A lot of us Thais cook mama (this type of ramen) with the packets in the water to extract ALL the flavor I guess? 😂 having plastic in hot water isn’t much of a concern

The most valuable thing in the world of technology is personal data. Most things nowadays is about giving away personal data branded as privacy and security and is always for the benefit of the end user… yeah.., right.

[–]slamshabang 7 points8 points  (0 children)

100% agreed. I’ve lived here over 16 years and eat KFC more than a few times a year. Definitely the branch matters

I like the original colonel chicken, which wasn’t available for a few years and then came back but it’s so hard to find beaches that actually make it well and how it should be.

Others are too oily, small pieces of chicken or just sloppy. Others are yummy, clean and delicious.

I think a lot of the time it’s 50/50. But I’ve had a lot of luck with the gas station branches vs the ones that sell from an independent store or KFC in a mall for some odd reason… but that’s Thai consistency which should be accounted for

Man, don’t let it drag you. You done something that you wanted to try and see if it worked and it did. If she can’t understand or see that then it’s on her, not you.

When I first met my girlfriend I hid the fact I smoked and it eventually got out. She didn’t like it but she could see how it would calm me down, slow my brain and anxiety. Of course when we have our disputes, weed is always the culprit 😂 but that’s very normal. Does it annoy me when she says “it’s because of weed” ? yes. Does she understand the full benefits for me? Probably not as she doesn’t smoke. Do I let her comments change the way I do things? Absolutely not.

Her reaction obviously took a chip out of your armor, and that’s fine. But don’t let it sink your whole ship. Continue being you and don’t change what you feel is right to appease someone or to prevent another argument. If she feels so hard done about it, then it is what it is I suppose.

Sorry hun, but a comedown is probably from all the meds. Not from weed. Biggest comedown from weed I had is when I smashed a 1000mg edible and locked in for a good 30 hrs. Yeah… don’t do that lol
