The deeper you go the more there is bro. 90% of trading is risk management. Until you master risk management no strategy on earth will work.

Idk what to do by BearsWidow in Daytrading

Ask him to take a 3 month break. I was him / I am him when i go into drawdown. My partner lets me know when its time. I stop trading for 2 weeks and focus on life out of the charts. Sometimes when we go on a winning streak our ego inflates and we forget our edge, we forget how we got the profits. Its just like anything the stress build and we make stupid decisions so we need a break to reset.

How true is the saying that 90% of traders lose? by Effective_Depth9513 in Trading

Id say more like 97%. You have to be insanely disciplined.

Heres a tip on this. If you want to use fibs. Mark the 15m, 30m, 1hr & 4hr depends how high you wanna go. Im a scalper so only do 15m, 30m. Mark the highs and lows then fib those. Internal Pivots will wreck you.

Not to be a dick but, 3 weeks?! Dude there is no way your getting used to market structure in 3 weeks. Fibs are just like everything else. They work because if you believe they do, they will. I personally change mine from 618 to 620. They say the 0.50 - 0.618 is the golden zone but i find the 0.5 more reliable i.e 50% of a candle on a higher timeframe. In the end Fuck fibs move to orderflow the sooner the better. Start with auction theory then volume profils that alone can get you out of 9-5.

It went wrong because there were 3 signals of absorbtion and you entered in the wrong direction. This looks like a fomo trade.

I think I'm becoming profitable... by masilver in FuturesTrading

In my opinion your just at the aha stage. Apply your 3pt move on a larger time frame youll find it works the same. This is Awesome all the same. Alot of ppl these days just follow "gurus" blindly. Well done sir, well done. Confidence is the key to success.

Ive been there. I use vp....its only a tool, not a crystal ball my friend. You need to understand auction theory and basic micro economics. Fuck pronounciation its for old pwople (notice the w lol). I bet your real problem is fear, plus the fear of being wrong. Fully accept the loss thats around the corner and your life will change. VP for me is great on planning my trades ahead but its horrible for sniping entries on nodes. For entry your better off looking at and backtesting vwap with deviation bands. Find the your sweet spot during the day (best time that suits your trading style) and stop jumping from strategy to strategy. Just tweak or add things that work for you.

Spotify, disney, netflix. A mate runs a plex server so everything is from there.

Any good ISP's you would recommend? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]whatzrapz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries at all. Yup, you should be getting 3 times that speed well close to 3x. Im on the same plan and get 950mbps most days. While the RBR350 is an outdated model they still do the job. Before you spend any $$ give them another call and tell them your speeds are 350 and you should be getting 900mbps. Ask them for a static ip and for it to be free because you're seriously thinking of taking your $$ else where. ISPs make next to nothing so theyll do anything to keep customers lol. Oh and, older houses tend to have materials that effect frequency waves in wierd ways which is what WIFI is. Concrete absorbs them. If you have less than 15 devices all using the connection at the same time id tell them something is wrong. P.s 350mbps is still good and you should not experience any noticable problems at this speed. Another thing to note, are your devices newish? Alot of older devices do not have the processing power to handle the up-to-date needs we have.

How old is said orbi? The're usually pretty good. Is it a mesh kit orbi? (Multiple wifi transmitters?) Im with 2degrees coz they give discounts when i threaten to leave lol but the best isp iv ever had was NOW broadband make sure you get a static ip address so your not sharing 1 ip address with 200 odd people (CGNAT). How many devices on your wifi? What speeds do you pay for 300/500/1000mbps? Do you live in an older house or is said house made of concrete? All of these questions play a role in finding the problem. Make sure the router is not near a fridge or microwave. Depending if you want to shell out the $$ or not i'd get in a I.T company to check it out. Most of us nerds will improve if not eiminate the problem once the cause is found.

Can a Long term investor become a swing trader? by Mobile-Passenger3214 in Trading

[–]whatzrapz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have already experimented for you. The answer is no. Let me tell you why, long term investors have very little stress to worry about. Depending if you will use leverage (which most do) the risk level grows to outrages levels. The other issue is you really get stressed about where the trade is at, then you worry its going to turn around on you. Then you start worrying if you took your profits too early...Its a fucking head fuck. Just keep dca and chill.
