I'm 55 and working a job I dislike. Two years ago I took $10,000 ($5,000 initial deposit, followed by second $5,000 a month later) to try trading to see if I could somehow make it work. It's been one hell of a ride with big wins, equally big losses, and many missed opportunities (I bought 10,000 OPEN at $0.80 and sold at $2.20: If I held until this week I'd be in a lot better position) but I finally reached $100,000 today. I made a vow to myself that once I hit $100,000 I would get a lot more methodical and structured and no more shorting volatile stocks like $SOUN. I already have my plan. trading price reversals using a custom TradingView indicator I have developed with the help of AI). I hope to generate $1,500/wk with a more systematic approach using everything about price action i have learned in the last two years. If I can do this consistently for three months then i will leave my job. Anyway, if I can do it anyone can. Start small and just grind it out, $1000 at a time. As you can see from the chart in the screenshot it took me a long time to get any traction. You just gotta keep grinding slowly, one trade at a time and try and let your winners run and cut your losers quickly. The psychology is without a doubt the hardest part to master and I am not there yet. Anyway, phase 2 begins next week. Keep grinding it out traders! submitted by /u/HotandSpicy42 [link] [comments]

I started my journey not even a year ago. I just want to help those who struggle in the beginning because I did mentally. Starting out I chased every strategy and thought it was all about winning everyday. What the reality is and most gurus don’t talk about is that you must be a good loser to be the best winner. It’s not all about having green streaks and finding the perfect strategy. It’s more about controlling your losses and surviving the storm. I’ve blown my whole crypto portfolio, burned 100s of funded prop accounts day trading but the moment I detached myself from wanting to win everyday is when everything switched. I started to build my account and treat it like a marathon not a sprint. Transitioning to prop firms is what I would recommend to any trader that wants to start out. It helps you build consistency and leverage your capital with low risk. As long as you treat your funded accounts as if your life depends on it, you’ll get there. Just trying to inspire y’all in this so-called ‘dark’ industry. There’s always light at the end of the tunnel just keep walking, keep pushing, and don’t back down. Your breakthrough is closer than you think. submitted by /u/Vrnze [link] [comments]

Good folks of trading, I’ve been practicing and testing my strategy for the last two months. I set the demo account at 200$ and started with that. In two months I managed to double it and reach 400$. My goal was to test the consistency of my strategy and overall win rate. I didn’t care about how small the profits are. I got 67% win rate. My strategy isn’t anything groundbreaking. I follow SMC and look for FVGs , OBs and liquidity zones. I only trade XAU, SP500 and BTC/USD. My plan now is to move on to a real account of the same size (200$) and try to double that for the next 2-3 months. If I succeed at that, I’ll scale it up. I’ll appreciate any advice specially if you feel it’s too soon to move forward with a real account. submitted by /u/iliyyaa [link] [comments]

Honestly, to the traders who shit on everyone who aspires to do this full time—what makes doing this worth it to you? Even to the guys who are gonna say, “I don’t think you can get rich QUICK, I DO think you can get rich”—if you only end up accumulating $500K-$1M by the time you’re 60 or 70, why do you choose to do this instead of something else? Who knows how much inflation will dwindle the buying power of that kind of money in 20-30 years? Why is it worth it to you? submitted by /u/Th3Unidentified [link] [comments]

Today I had an SPX put that was dying and worth .50 cent. Held to see what would happen the last hour. Sure enough it dumped. It got up to $11 while I was letting it run. It bounced back and I sold for $6.70. Very nice gain but trying to see what the best strategy is to closing when letting it run. Or perhaps we just can never capture the whole move and be happy with the gain? submitted by /u/Ecclesiastes510 [link] [comments]

I’ve got a pretty straightforward strategy. I trade RSI divergence on BTCUSD and usually aim for small profits around 0.22%, which I win most of the time. If a trade goes into drawdown, I add to the losing position every -0.22%, up to a maximum of 3 entries. If the price keeps moving against me after the third trade, I close everything. The problem is that when this happens, it wipes out all the profits I made before, leaving me back at breakeven. My win rate is good, but those losing trades erase all my gains. What should I do in this situation? I’d really appreciate your advice. Edit: I started using this strategy after seeing a guy on Exness copy trading who trades in a similar way—taking small profits and adding to losing positions. The difference is, I’ve added RSI divergence as my edge for entering trades. submitted by /u/GlumTie7976 [link] [comments]

So like a lot of people I got into day trading during covid but as life and work went back to normal, trading tapered off to an occasional thing. Fast forward a bit and the wife got diagnosed with terminal cancer so no trading at all for a while as I managed work, taking care of my wife and the kids. She passed away this year and I’ve gotten back into trading the last few months. Most of my trading is premarket before I wake the kids up and for an hour between dropping them off at daycare before work. Also trade on my lunch break or when I have down time. I’ve been extremely consistent and have been exceeding my goals. For example my goal is 2500 a week and this week I’ve made a little over 4K as of a few minutes ago. I’d really like to transition to this full time. It would be nice to have time to take care of the house, be more present for my kids, exercise, make sure I’m able to cook and feed them healthy meals, etc. Relevant info about my situation. Late wife and I drastically changed some things when she was diagnosed with cancer so we could be debt free and have as lot of disposable income for memory making trips and to set me up for the best run possible as a single parent. Basically I have no debt. Paid cash for the current home, other income sources that cash flow a little over 6k a month which is more than enough to pay for my monthly expenses, close to 500k in liquid assets. I’m at the point where I’m not interested in chasing career goals as my kids are the priority and while my employer is understanding of my situation I feel like I’m not going grow and climb the ladder when I don’t have the ability to be engaged with work as I used to be. Thank God I was a high performer before which is probably why they’ve been so lenient with me. submitted by /u/MrBootDude [link] [comments]

I'm interested to know from those who trade Supply and Demand if these levels drawn are correct, or if you'd draw them differently. Thanks. https://preview.redd.it/fky65294duof1.png?width=1601&format=png&auto=webp&s=6f459e6199ee1d11a43445f7ddafd838dee8d604 submitted by /u/Cautious_Variation_5 [link] [comments]

I’ve been learning crypto trading for about a year now. I spend most of my days analyzing charts, testing strategies, and practicing, but so far I’m mostly breaking even. I’m at the point where I really want to move towards consistent profitability, even if it’s just small gains at first. I’m not expecting to get rich quickly, but I’d like to start seeing steady progress. For those of you who are already profitable, what helped you make that transition? Was it a specific strategy, mindset shift, or risk management adjustment? Any insights or advice would be really appreciated. submitted by /u/GlumTie7976 [link] [comments]

The reality of being a day trader is the loneliness you feel. No one around you understands the mental stress, emotions, psychology, dedication and the constant screen time, especially when you are trying to learn good discipline. My family don’t really have a big interest in the fact that I do it - they have always have just called it ‘gambling’ or say it is not ‘real money’ and to an extent it has taken a toll because I have spent countless hours over the years trying to perfect a strategy that works for me, just for it to be dismissed as ‘gambling’ just because they don’t understand how it works. Most times when I get a few losses, I normally take a couple of months break to recharge and mentally get myself back on track so I learn from previous mistakes. Right now, me and my partner are desperately saving for a deposit on a house and I have caught some big wins that I have put towards that pot, however he is only ever interested in hearing when I am profitable. If I am frustrated or upset over losses he just doesn’t get it, and he doesn’t mean to, but he says certain things in a way that makes it seem that my losses make me a failure. Or he will say ‘well you shouldn’t have traded today, this is getting us no further towards a house’ and it’s like ?? I mean I consistently make £500-£1000 a day, whilst also working a full time job which he and I both manage - allowing me to trade around working. I get up at 7am-8am everyday to catch morning trades, will trade the odd 1 or 2 during lunchtime (whilst still actively working) and In the evening will start to wrap them up after our work day is over. My partner loves going out to our friend’s bar multiple days of the week - whether it’s say a random Monday, Tuesday, Friday etc and gets mad at me when I say no to going out because 1). We are trying to save and I am working my ass off- both working our business and earning a stable income from trading which also FYI is mentally draining anyway, whilst he just wants to just spend drinking. 2). Because mentally trading is exhausting whilst also working a full time job and once we finish our shift, I am trying to close off trades for the day and going out makes me lose focus. There’s been so many times where I have just given in to going out with him to drink just so he doesn’t ’feel lonely’ and I have always ended up taking massive losses because I am not able to watch the markets and focus properly as I am trying to keep off my phone in company. Then if I do hit losses, he gets disappointed. Most times now, he just ends up storming off on his own whilst I stay at home wrapping up my trades and it feels so lonely. Like why do I feel like a burden just for wanting to work hard.. for US? I mean before, we used to go out drinking all the time, multiple times a week. Nowadays my focus has shifted and I want a home, money and to start a family. I don’t enjoy that stuff anymore. Trading has become serious for me and I would rather spend my free time after a day of trading doing brain games like sudoku, crosswords, reading trading books, learning charts etc and I am now made to feel like I’m ‘boring’ I honestly feel so lonely and like nobody seems to understand the pressure that all this causes. I don’t even want to be rich, I just want to save for a house and a future but I feel like I am not being taken seriously. I have no friends to speak to about this either as none of them understand any of this or the emotions that come with. Is it normal for trading to shift you into a different person but in a good way? I mean, as stressful as it is, the dedication has pushed me to get up early everyday, eat breakfast, eat healthier have a better frame of mind. I am so happy mentally in that sense, but everyone around me is making me feel like I shouldn’t be submitted by /u/PastLifeguard2924 [link] [comments]

If it's not part of your plan, it's not part of your plan. A bad trade has nothing to do with the end result. A bad trade is abandoning your rules and putting yourself at risk. submitted by /u/forzefull [link] [comments]

I started trading crypto in 2018. Like many, I got in with zero experience, thinking I’d get rich fast. Spoiler: I didn’t. Bought TRX, XRP, and a bunch of random altcoins. Lost $2,700 in a few months. Then I tried margin trading (big mistake), got liquidated, and was left staring at an empty account. Honestly, I almost quit. In 2019, I decided to stop gambling and start learning. I studied charts, watched real traders, read books, and backtested strategies. I didn’t trade real money for a while—just practiced and journaled everything. By 2020, I was finally making small profits. Took only setups I trusted, avoided hype, and managed risk properly. Made around $4,800 on a $3K account. Nothing crazy, but it felt earned. 2021 bull run? I was ready. I grew my account to over $43K trading ETH, SOL, and a few strong alts. But I got cocky, messed with leverage again, and gave back a chunk. That lesson hurt, but it stuck. 2022 was survival mode. I traded less, avoided trying to “buy the dip,” and focused on capital preservation. Profits were small, but I didn’t lose. From 2023 to now, I’ve kept it boring: 1% risk per trade, only 2–3 reliable setups, and strict journaling. I don’t trade every day. I don’t chase pumps. I just stick to what works. In 2024, I crossed $100K in my trading account. No moonshots. Just consistency over time. TL;DR Lost money in 2018 (like most beginners) Started learning & tracking everything in 2019 Profitable by 2020, stayed consistent Bull run helped, but greed punished me in 2021 Focused on capital protection in 2022 2023–2025: steady growth, no drama Finally passed $100K in 2024 Biggest Lessons: You won’t get rich overnight. Risk management > everything. You don’t need to trade every day. Journaling your trades = free edge. Survive long enough, and your edge will show up. Happy to answer questions if anyone’s stuck in the early phase like I was. Stay in the game. submitted by /u/Significant-Test4267 [link] [comments]

So I am a momentum intraday trader. My strategy is based on quickly getting in and getting out. Last month I payed for a funded challenge from tradethepool(they fund stock traders) but I have realized their rules are so bad. Their first rule is you have to make a minimum of 10cents or 10 price ticks per trade. Meaning if you profit from the stock moving only 7cents the trade will be marked as invalid another rule is u need to be in a trade for atleast 30seconds between the buy and sell for it to be marked as a valid trade. Meaning if I get in a stock and it pops 15 cents a share and I sell it within 10 seconds that trade will be marked as invalid. Mind u this rule applies to to both the challenge and the live funded account. Please I need help I tried finding a better platform but I dont know of any that funds stock traders, all I see is forex and futures and crypto firms. Can someone please recommend a better firm for me. submitted by /u/FigureKey01 [link] [comments]

When I was just getting started with options, cheap OTM contracts felt like the right opportunity. For $30 or $40, I could control 100 shares of a stock, and if it made a big move, the payoff looked insane. I kept thinking: “Why would anyone waste money on expensive contracts when these options exist?” At first, the thrill was addictive. Monitoring a $40 contract double in a single day made me feel like I’d cracked the code. But that high didn’t last long. Over time, the pattern became painfully clear, 9 out of 10 contracts expired worthless. The wins never made up for the slow bleed of losses. I wasn’t really trading, I was gambling. It took me longer than I’d like to admit to realize I wasn’t managing risk. I’ve noticed some traders defend this strategy as a way to take defined-risk shots, especially for beginners with small accounts. Looking for companies with small to mid cap stocks that have high volatility and demonstrate potential tailwinds from news, earnings announcements, or acquisition activity. submitted by /u/Apprehensive_Race243 [link] [comments]

These are day trades, but depending on my strategy may get extended throughout the week $HOOD: expecting a ~5% move up, anomaly score 0.04 $VRTX: expecting a ~2.45% move up, anomaly score 0.07 $SEDG: expecting a 5.86% move up, anomaly score 0.04 Keep me accountable, and ask any questions you might have :) Strategy is still in forward test so please don’t copy anything submitted by /u/BodybuilderClean2701 [link] [comments]

I often tell people I’ve been day trading for about two years, but the truth is, I haven’t made a single trade. I’ve studied Cameron Ross’s micro pullback strategy for hours, watched countless YouTube videos, and learned how to identify setups with precision. Every morning I wake up at 6:30, work out at 8:30, and then sit down at the charts. From my knowledge of the micro pullback strategy and scanning top-percentage gainers, I can spot setups quickly. But here’s the problem: I don’t take action. I see the setup, I can predict what’s about to happen, and yet I freeze like a deer in headlights. Part of me knows it’s fear. I’m afraid of losing, even though I know I could exit quickly and limit my risk, especially since I’m trading with a small account of only $5,000. I’ve watched the same setups play out hundreds of times, and I’ve missed every single one. Earlier this week was the worst. I saw a 2,000% move, something truly life-changing, and I did nothing. I told myself I’d change, but the next day I missed a 200% move, and then a 500% move right after. I just sat there, watching it all happen without me. I’m a freshman in college now, and honestly, I feel miserable. I have friends, and I go out and enjoy myself sometimes, but deep down I know I could be doing more with my life. I know I’m capable of more. I say I want to be a trader. I say I want to work hard. But my actions prove otherwise. I keep freezing, I keep hesitating, and I keep letting opportunities slip by. I’ve been told it’s a mental block, that it takes time, that I should practice in a simulator to build confidence. But I can’t shake the feeling that paper trading is a waste of time, I see those big moves happening in the real market, and it kills me not to be part of them. My dad even told me, “You’re already making nothing, so even if you blow up in the simulator, you’re still making nothing. At least you’ll learn.” He even promised to reimburse me $100 if I lost it, and still, I didn’t take the trade. This problem runs deep, and I know it has to change. Day trading is the one thing I truly care about, the one thing I really want to do with my life, and yet I can’t bring myself to take action. I keep saying I’ll become a profitable trader, but I’m not even trading at all. That’s what I need to fix. That’s why I’m asking for help. If anyone can offer real advice, I’d truly appreciate it. submitted by /u/Deeppockets2006 [link] [comments]

Today felt like a squeeze day, with many traders likely closing out their short positions in speculative names. Quantum stocks rallied sharply after the UK government approved IonQ’s takeover, and even some well-known stocks moved higher—reportedly for technical reasons, according to articles I came across. Looking ahead, I expect Monday to be volatile once again, which has become the new normal in today’s market. What do you guys expect and are you prepared :) submitted by /u/Dizzy_Maybe8225 [link] [comments]

Most OTC companies chase hype. UTRX is different. The company has developed a three-part business model: Treasury strategy with BTC and ETH reserves for long-term growth and stability. Supply advantage through rights to acquire up to 50% of a partner’s mined Bitcoin. Tokenization rails – a patent-pending system for putting real-world assets like debt or IP on-chain. This isn’t a one-note story; it’s a diversified approach that taps multiple streams of blockchain opportunity. When paired with the small float after a massive share cancellation, UTRX becomes an outlier in the OTC world. The story here is not just trading volatility – it’s a company positioning itself for digital asset adoption. submitted by /u/tp488 [link] [comments]

Hey All, So after all the feedbacks here, my own readings and experience and with the help of some very powerful AI agents I was able to come up with a 30 Min ORB strategy which i converted into indicator. The idea is to combine, VWAP, Rel Vol, Trend, and in real time Market Structure overall by having SPY VWAP to make sure i dont trade agaisnt the market, also Bias at high TF is optional . (Second Screenshot)..TP1 and TP2 are calculated based on ATR so volatility can be taken in to account. Finally I had my indicator ready to test. I applied it on whole watchlist of most volumne, ATR, and high voltality stocks.. The idea was not to make profit it was to see if this works and i dont end up in red by the end of the day. first three days i had over 80% win rate however friday market was weird.. it was going in any direction without any direction. SPY was fluctuating as well. Now I am not entirely happy with the result as I have few questions. 1- After first 2 hours the volumn of these stocks went down so much there is hardly any movement.. can you tell me what can i do. 2- At the moment my SL is ORH for Short signal and ORL for Long signal but TP1 is calculated based on ATR .. so RR is about 1:2 ..So far i havent hit the SL except once but rest i had to cancel the trade as i didnt want to carry them overnight. What can i do to fix it. 3- for entry i dont seem to have plan .. i am taking it as soon as signal comes in after candle close. so i might not be getting the right enty price.. is there a way to get better entries? 4- how do you guys trade so fast? i mean if i go for same strategy on 15 mins ORB how to take trades so fast with TP and SL defined? Would appreciate if anyone can help make this logic better or want me to add anything to it.. i will do the coding just need to make right adjustments to make it better.. whoever make the difference in this will share the final indicator with you. thank you submitted by /u/Massive-Tangelo2487 [link] [comments]

I’ve been trading live for a couple of months after first paper trading. One of the challenges I keep running into is figuring out where to place my stops. At first I was just setting them a 5-10 cents below entry, but I often got stopped out only to see the stock rebound shortly after. I’m now trying to base stops more on structure and support/resistance levels instead of arbitrary numbers. For those of you with more experience, what’s your preferred way of identifying reliable levels? Do you mainly use chart patterns, volume zones, moving averages, or something else? I’m using Questrade and TradingView. Any tips for applying these tools would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/Otherwise_Baker8982 [link] [comments]

Hey folks, Just wanted to get some feedback on an idea I’ve been working on. I invest in a few stocks and always find it hard to keep track of not just company-specific news, but also the stuff that might affect them indirectly, like raw material shortages, geopolitical stuff, supplier issues, etc. So I’m thinking of building a tool where you just add the companies you've bought shares of, and it’ll track: News related to the company itself News about its suppliers or raw materials (like lithium for EVs) Industry-wide or country-wide developments that could impact it And maybe even summarize it so you know what matters and why Basically something that helps you decide whether to hold, sell, or be cautious but without drowning in 50 news sites. Just want to ask: Does this sound helpful? What kind of alerts would you care about most? Would you use something like this? (or even pay a small monthly if it actually worked?) Not trying to sell anything just figuring out if I should put time into this. Appreciate any honest feedback submitted by /u/EnergyRoyal9889 [link] [comments]

NXXТ (NASDAQ: NХXT) trades near $1.97, but the moving averages keep flashing bullish. MA30 at $1.92 has held as mid-term support. Long-term MAs - $1.79 (MA60) and $1.76 (MA120) - are steadily rising and well below price, forming a strong base. That structure tells us: short-term chop, medium-term bias positive, long-term trend intact. This is exactly the pattern that supports continuation higher after a breakout. Combine that with YTD revenue already topping $44M vs $27M last year and analysts pegging $5.50 as fair value, and it’s easy to see why sentiment is strong. As long as the MAs stay aligned, NXХT looks like it has room to keep climbing. submitted by /u/B0RIS_Badenov [link] [comments]

I took a short entry after price rejected the 62.30–62.40 zone with confluence from Fibonacci extensions (2.618 / 3.618 levels). The rejection aligned with the EMA trend, giving me more confidence. 📍 Entry: ~62.24 🛑 Stop Loss: ~62.41 (above structure + fib extension) ✅ Target: Let it ride down with trend, closed near 61.85 This trade followed momentum cleanly. Price broke below VWAP + EMA, pulled back into my level, and then flushed down. Nice follow-through after entry, especially since the overall trend was already bearish. Key takeaways: • Patience on the pullback was crucial. • High probability setup when fib levels + EMA + structure rejection lined up. • Risk was tight, reward decent, so R:R felt solid. Profit: 400 submitted by /u/NeighborhoodSpare917 [link] [comments]
