Hey, I'm curious what everyone's daily routine looks like. I trade EST NY open, usually done by 11-12pm. I prep for next day for like 30 mins before going to bed, and go more over it in the morning pre market. Besides that I log if I took any trades, log emotions, and that's pretty much it. There's a huge chunk of my day that's not taken up, and I don't know if I should be doing more in terms of prep or something else
2 years looking for work, any work, recent grad, I'm just coming to terms with this life and starting to accept maybe there's no job out there, strange thing is I'm not feeling defeated or depressed about it anymore, genuinely starting to not care because what's the point, tried everything there is, had resume looked over, went to interview workshops with employment Ontario, got referrals from there to some positions, got referrals from family friends, multiple 2-3rd stage interviews just to be told no or "job closed" and no longer exists. Just been asking myself what is the point of all this.. I'll probably stop looking or at least not as actively and just focus on life and myself, sick and tired of this city and how hard everything is
Hey, I'm at a point in my journey where I am starting to look within and trying to understand myself, why I react the way I do, why I feel certain things when it comes to trading. Basically throughout my entire journey, I have always had issues with hesitation on entries, exiting position as soon as seeing green and so on. I'm not sure if this question is relevant to this sub or if it will be answered, but I'd like to be a bit vulnerable and share where I think these issues might be coming from. Growing up, I had and still have a very toxic and mentally abusive father, always saying I'm not good enough, worthless, tying my worth to money and success, and I think that has directly carried onto trading. I guess my question is, if anyone is in the same situation or has been in it, I know it's a very very long way to heal yourself from all this, but how did you do it? How did you heal a part of yourself and also fixed the fear and self doubt it was causing in trading? I very firmly believe the fear and hesitation is like the last hurdle for me to get over, and probably the hardest thing I face in my entire life so far. Sorry for a word vomit post, I hope this all makes sense or finds someone with similar experience
Hey. Started my journey 2024 october, closed last year in the green, but not without challenges on the way. Today, I had the second incident of chasing FOMO, and now -40% on the account. I did this once last year, and recovered after that, but this time it's just hitting me hard. Same thing too, I hesitated on my initial entry, perfect levels and everything, I don't enter just watching it run, and when it reaches a top, that's when I enter like a dumbass and get stuck bagholding. I guess my question is, is this just my issue? Is there something wrong with me? If anyone has gone through this I'd love some pointers on what to change about myself and fuether improve. Beyond this, I also have issue holding the positions I'm in, so on top of entering late, I don't even hold till take profit, and end up with some atrocious R:R when it's supposed to be 1:1 at the very least. This journey has been feeling like 5 steps forward, and 100 back, and I'm not really sure what to do. I have about 4 years of exposure to markets prior to this, just messing around, investing, not trading seriously, but I decided to basically go full time in 2024 just for the note.
