    3% rule only applies...

    I find it hysterical when investing idiots on youtube go to someone's daytrading channel and tell them that they're risking too much of their capital. Shouldn't this rule only apply to investors & preferably with around 6 figures or more? This trader only had 2k in his account trades maybe 5-10...

    What makes you angry when you trade?

    High rental keeps me from moving out and the fact I am losing money in the stock market doesn't help either. $800 would get me a tiny bachelor in the slum district.

    What makes you angry when you trade?

    I've a similar issue except my major pet peeve is my parent. She just won't stop yapping about random things, watching tv or blasting the radio during market hours. She is always nagging or yelling at something and she does that every single minute of her waking hours. She also has these...

    How much taxes do you pay for Daytrading?

    I just didn't understand how this guy got 50% income tax who was a reputable youtuber/trader so I doubt he was lying. The tax bracket for the US only goes as high as 39.6% for making over 418k. He prolly was making near or more than this amount. Edit: Now that I think of it perhaps he wasn't...

    Why is trading so difficult?

    Depends what kinda demo/simulator you were using? Most of them do not take into account commission. (Maybe even leaving out the bid/ask spread.) So if you traded a ton and made money that might translate to a loss instead on a live account when commissions start piling up.

    Re-thinking "Discipline"

    Discipline is just one of those things you either have or you don't throu years of habit. It is very much like a personality trait not a skill that you can easily implement. I think it is a waste of time for someone without discipline to try to become a discipline person. If it's unnatural to...

    Almost all trading software users are trying to sell here don't allow 3rd party transfer but they do it anyways esp mmo accounts where thousands of transactions like this are made every month.
