Posted a few times on here but never really dove too deep into advice. There’s alot of things that can take you from an average trader who consistently loses, to someone that can manage pretty well for themselves. I’ve been in the same spot and here’s what I wish I knew. (THESE ARE MY OPINIONS AS SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN IN THE INDUSTRY FOR A WHILE, MAKES A DECENT LIVING, AND HAS SEEN/ TESTED A GOOD AMOUNT OF STRATS OUT THERE.) Trust your stop loss. If you have a good strategy and a good system, TRUST YOUR STOP. I can’t tell you how many people I know that get into the red and immediately think their trade is going to turn around, and then they’ll immediately move their stop or take a loss early to avoid hitting their original stop. Trust it, sit on it, and if you lose move on to the next trade. Stop adding so many indicators 90% of the indicators out there wont make you better. Learn to read price action, look at important info such as the pivot points, vwap and select averages. There is no magic indicator that will make you a better trader. If there was everyone would do it. Be okay with small profits Stop chasing money because the more you chase it the more you force trades and give it back. Focus on executing your system the right way every time, wait for clean setups, avoid choppy markets, and stay disciplined. Your job isn’t to make money, it’s to follow your process, profits are what come from doing that consistently. Take your time You won’t get rich overnight, take your time. Learn as much as you can. Be patient and calm. Life already has too many things to stress about. Don’t add this to the list. Enjoy the wins and losses, it’s all apart of the plan! submitted by /u/YakRemarkable3079 [link] [comments]

Most of the influencer traders will only mislead you with the rich lifestyle without really showing you what goes on behind the scenes. Before you're able to acquire that lifestyle, you will go through hell, tears and sweat. Most will even give up on the way. Only those who are psychologically strong will reach the finish line and reap the benefits. DON'T GIVE UP! submitted by /u/Extra_End_8071 [link] [comments]

https://i.redd.it/3bszfauvx4yg1.gif TLDR 16 minutes before the Truth Social post announcing a 90 day tariff pause, S&P 500 options-implied expectations showed two spikes toward a higher closing price. Relative to the same-day history from market open, the 1:02 p.m. and 1:08 p.m. spikes were >4 standard deviations above the mean, corresponding to roughly the 99.999th percentile. Similar abnormalities appeared in Nasdaq and Russell 2000 options before 1:18 p.m. One hypothesis is that abrupt orders in SPY options can cause market makers to instantly update their quotes on related assets, which propagates information efficiently throughout the market. I observed similar advanced price-jump expectations in the hour leading up to the announcement of the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve on Mar 2 of 2025 Details You might remember me from sharing the open source Options Implied Probability (OIPD) python library. Since option prices reflect the market's belief in the probabilities of their payoffs occurring, then we can mathematically back out the market's consensus for where the S&P 500 will end the day using 0DTE options. I wanted to test it with some real events. Trump announced 90 day pause to his Liberation day tariffs, which caused the S&P to jump 9.5%. Reuters reported suspicious trades about 18 min before the announcement. https://i.redd.it/fu3w8zowx4yg1.gif Panel 1 shows the SPY spot price, and panel 2 shows the implied probability distribution of SPY's EoD closing price. Because we have the full distribution, we can inspect some interesting statistics. 2 observations stand out to me: Panel 3 shows skew, a measure of asymmetry. Equity price distributions are typically negatively skewed because large crashes are more likely than large price jumps. Here, skew becomes even more negative. That is consistent with the center of the distribution shifting higher while the left tail remains anchored (see visual below). https://preview.redd.it/gifn7m8pp4yg1.png?width=981&format=png&auto=webp&s=c3fb0d33eea655f786b8f73c8108768c69de5dc6 In panel 4, we see the difference between the mean expected closing price minus the live spot price. Because these are 0DTE options, their mean expected closing price typically tracks the live price closely because there's only a few hours left before expiry. When both the implied mean and skew move abruptly, it seems to point to a sudden expectation of a higher SPY close. Previous-day control: the same abnormalities were not observed in the same timeframe https://i.redd.it/f30c4wxxx4yg1.gif The purpose of this section is to check whether the April 9 pattern was unusual, or whether similar signals appear simply due to noise. So some of my observations below: Markets were unusually noisy that week, following the April 2 Liberation Day tariff announcement. April 8 was especially so, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq falling around 2% intraday. Any useful signal should therefore be robust to noisy market conditions. Skew rises across all three tickers over the timeframe. That likely reflects the sell-off itself, as prices fell intraday, traders grew more fearful and placed more belief on lower closing prices, shifting the weight of the distribution. The difference between implied mean and live price is an interesting statistic. I have not run a formal statistical test here, but visually April 8 looks noisy without a clean break, so it would likely fail to reject a null hypothesis. Other notes If you want to replicate this, the easiest way would be to give your AI the link to the OIPD documentation and ask it to replicate this analysis. I used Databento 1m-CBBO data for spot and options quotes. Databento gives $125 credit so you can download data for April 8 and 9 without paying. OIPD works also with OHLCV data. But OHLCV is noisier and worse in terms of data quality, because bars can be stale and no longer reflects the price at which the asset can be bought or sold. For this kind of event study, quotes are closer to live tradeable prices. You can get free 1m-OHLCV options data using Alpaca's API. I've written some more details including Nasdaq and Russell 2000 tests and math footnotes here. If you're interested in using this to generate signals, this can be expanded into a systematic backtest across Trump-related events, or across other events like mergers. submitted by /u/turdnib [link] [comments]

Here are some of the trades I have open in my account and some returns I’ve been getting recently on long term and short term holds before I started day trading. Day 7 (Today) Update: Watched the market for the first 3 hours and didn’t really like anything that I was seeing, called it early and didn’t put in any trades, started recording my trades in a tracker app. Day 1 Update: The reason I don’t have a day 1 post is because I was attempting to livestream my trading on twitch and was having a broadcast errors and only got a couple hours of trading in. Total Realized Gains : $2,500 Total Trades : 17 Open Trades: SMR -13.55% -$1,855 LUNR -18% -$2,705 submitted by /u/TheDlPBuyer [link] [comments]

I think one of the biggest problems with trading is that people underestimate how much work it actually takes. Not in the motivational way. I mean they literally don’t know what kind of work is behind it. Most people see someone doing something well and they only see the last layer, the clean version. The athlete makes it look natural. The surgeon makes it look controlled. The trader makes the decision look obvious. But that’s never the real story. Behind that there is usually years of repetition, review, correction, boring work, and a lot of time spent looking stupid before anything starts to make sense. Trading has a weird problem on top of that. The market can reward you while you are doing the wrong thing. You can take a bad trade, make money, and walk away thinking you learned something. That feedback is brutal because it feels like progress, but sometimes it is just noise paying you. I think a lot of people come into trading thinking the work is mainly about finding better entries. Then they realize entries are not even the hard part. You have to understand risk, drawdown, what happens after 5, 10, 15 losses, how to review your own mistakes without just blaming the market, how to study sequences instead of isolated trades, how to know when an idea is actually dead and when it was just early. You have to understand your numbers before the chart even matters. And this is where many people get surprised, because nobody really told them they were signing up for that. I’ve seen people start with real interest, and once they understood the amount of review, exercises, chart time, numbers, corrections, and repetition involved, they just didn’t want it anymore. And honestly, I get it. It is a lot. This is also why I think a lot of people get damaged by learning only from YouTube or Instagram. Not because every creator is bad. That would be a stupid thing to say. But because those platforms reward the wrong things. They reward simple ideas, fast explanations, clean screenshots, big results, and things that feel easy to copy. They do not reward someone telling you: “This may take years, most of the work is boring, and you probably need to spend a long time reviewing your mistakes before anything makes sense.” That kind of message doesn’t go viral, but it is probably much closer to the truth. At the beginning it is a bit like learning to drive. You think about the clutch, gears, mirrors, road, signals, cars around you, everything at once. Later it becomes automatic. Trading has a similar thing, just much more abstract. There is no clear instructor next to you telling you when you almost killed the car. Sometimes the market even pays you for doing something dumb, which makes it worse. The goal is not to keep trading complicated forever. The goal is to repeat the right things enough times, with enough structure, until the complicated parts start becoming obvious. But that takes way more work than most people imagine. I really think many people could become better traders if they understood the commitment from the beggining. But I also think if most people knew what it actually takes to become consistently profitable, a lot of them wouldn’t even start. Not because they’re incapable, but because they would realise this is not just opening a laptop and clicking buttons. It’s a profession. And like any profession, the part that looks simple from the outside is usually the part that took years to build. submitted by /u/InventoryLogic [link] [comments]

Lost more than I was okay with. One session. Didn't blow up, but it stung.Came back the next day with smaller size and no real agenda. Just watched for a bit before doing anything.Ended up being one of my cleanest sessions in months.I think the loss had knocked something out of me the need to prove myself, the pressure to perform. I was just... trading. Nothing attached to it.Can't manufacture that feeling. It only showed up because something hit me hard enough first.Still not sure what to do with that. Anyone else trade better right after a rough patch? Or does it send you the other way? submitted by /u/Thiru_7223 [link] [comments]

I’m currently paper trading on futures. What I’ve noticed is that when I put an order in it buys wayyy above the price than what the price is actually at. This is on trading view. Is this how the real market is or is this just some trading view thing. submitted by /u/OneSignificant5907 [link] [comments]

I’ll have a good setup, take the trade, maybe even win… And then I keep going. Another trade. Then another one. Until I give everything back (and sometimes more). It’s like I know I should stop, but in the moment I don’t. Does anyone have a real way to control this? Is it discipline, rules, or something else? submitted by /u/Ok-Simple4596 [link] [comments]

i've realised lately that my first 1-2 trades of the day are usually the ones where I'm trying to find the regime and direction of the market. As long as this direction is not found I have around 30% of win rate period usually my third or fourth grades are successful when I found the direction and regime. As a work around my idea is to replay trade the last day till the point in time where it's real time. What is your opinion on this approach? To add some context I'm trading gold on the one hour and 15 minutes timeframe submitted by /u/SHOKOKO32167 [link] [comments]

Anyone else have this problem or is it just me? When I'm up early in the day I almost always give some of it back. But when I start red I somehow get more focused and trade better. I think it's the "house money" thing like once I'm up, I subconsciously feel like I can afford to be looser. Even though that makes zero sense. Did anyone actually fix this or do you just kind of live with it? submitted by /u/Important_Buy626 [link] [comments]

Hello, I wanted to start trading in general. I have put just $100USD on long term investment, ETFs (?)on robinhood on my phone. But i want to experience the daytrading to gain experience with a small amounts and obviously small profits or losses. Would robinhood on the phone be able to help me experience that? Is there any tips or other newbie friendly platform for phones? Thank you!! submitted by /u/SorX32 [link] [comments]

I've been on the same platform for two years and wondering if I'm just comfortable or if I'm actually getting a good deal. What made you switch and was it worth it? submitted by /u/badplayz99 [link] [comments]

I’ve recently been thinking about trying out STDV + OTE, my strategy hasn’t been hitting as often recently and would like to explore other options. I’m wondering if anyone pairs these 2 and what you think of it? I’m also looking for mentors on YouTube that teach it well for me to learn. Thanks! submitted by /u/Clear_Dog_9214 [link] [comments]

Hi all, straight to it.. my last payout was around November 2025. After this payout, I blew the account. And since then, I have been struggling to trade. It's like i've lost my touch, some of you may say im exaggerating, but I'm being so serious when I say I feel like my strategy just disappeared into thin air, at least that's how It feels in my mind. This whole year of 2026, has been either red or breakeven. I am on a funded account evaluation, but I have been red this entire month and before, only a few losses left before I lose the account. Yes I understand that it's an evaluation and I could purchase a new one, but FTMO accounts are very expensive to me. I have trouble with other prop firms regarding payout denials no matter how cheap the evaluations are. The only firm Ive had no issues with is FTMO. What happened to me? I had an ego that I was "profitable" and this whole year has just been me losing.. I remember around new years that I was excited to keep getting better at trading.. and continue getting payouts.. this coming October 2026 marks my 2nd year daytrading, I have been counting each day of the year in my head, that I need a funded account or another payout before my 2nd year. My mental is tanking.. I'm not one to be depressed or anxious until now.. I have cried over this.. In my mind I just want to become better. But I cant. I keep losing.. I've journaled all of April, been patient all of april, but I am still losing, week after week. I will accept any advice, I genuinely feel so lost. Please and thank you, for taking the time to read this! and thank you so much for anyone in advanced~ submitted by /u/Sea-Rabbit-2773 [link] [comments]

Most people talk about setting up trade strategies and following up with discipline. This goes so well when you are in a win streak, but no one prepares you when you start losing the trades, everything starts going down the drain, strategy forgotten, watching your losses gobble up your entire profits, disappointment and his cousin frustration staring down at you. What really happens to the logical part of the brain when you are in a losing streak? And how do you people manage your emotions then? submitted by /u/Kryptic_phil [link] [comments]

Genuinely can't believe a 50/50 can make 98% of the world red. I think I am throwing in the towel, this is not sustainable. I do not believe it's even worth it, I feel so sad on red days and green days are "meh". I tried, but 4-5 years of struggling and its back to this again. submitted by /u/WinterW0n [link] [comments]

Day 29 of journaling my journey to mastering Ross Cameron's strategies Got on today mad early yet again, but no luck. The market just was pretty quiet. Again some moves but nothing that I felt was A+ I kid you not at 7:38am I'm like okay guess nothings happening until 8 at the very least and took a pressing bathroom break. At 7:46 I come back only to see that I missed the biggest move of the week - $NEXR. Of course I did, not surprised. It's funny, I know Ross also missed big moves for the same reason, sometimes he simply went to just get a tea XD Oh well, that's just how it is. Onto day 30! submitted by /u/MJTradingOfficial [link] [comments]

After the post trade adrenaline wore off from risking half of my account trying to catch bangers, I would just sit there looking stupid and paralyzed with regret. Sometimes I won big, that was fun, but it always caught up to me eventually. I was Basically just gambling. Had to actually fix it since I just couldn't afford to be reckless anymore and focused more on Capital Preservation! Figured out what number I could lose on a trade and still keep calm. For me on a 2k drawdown that's around 5%. So like $100. Anything past that and things start to get spooky. Three things I actually do now: Know my max loss per trade Have a personal daily loss limit and actually walk away when I hit it Stop loss on every trade. Every single one. No "I'll watch it" Am I the only one that paid max tuition because of this? 👀 submitted by /u/Zayden_Tradeify [link] [comments]

Dumbscrolling across X yesterday and luckily came across the news about US Consumer Confidence report to be released. Rumors are that inflation is about to go crazy high. Dug deeper and correlated with consumer products like Oil and the impact of the report. My conclusions were most commodities especially Oil will feel this impact and there's a high probability for price hike coupled with the unending back and forth straight of hormuz matter. Went back on X and checked the sentiment around Oil again and saw it was bullish. Opened a quick trade on bitget with a 100X on $CL to take advantage, my only regret was not going in with size. Probably would have been my biggest win since I started trading. 493.24% ROI. Its hours post release of the report, I feel there's yet some more upside to Oil and Precious metals, especially Oil in my own opinion. Anyone traded Oil yesterday, curious to know what your setups and what's your trade move post the report. I plan on doing a short-squeeze trade again today all things being equal. submitted by /u/Intelligent_Monk1657 [link] [comments]
