I was out fly fishing. Just got back a short while ago. I made around 812 dollars today doing nothing. Just sitting on cash right now earning 3%. I am very opportunistic these days. I don't need a mortgage, house and acreage is fully paid in cash.

It's okay, its not for everybody to understand.
But maybe it can do you good in your personal life if I explain a little bit so I'm gonna do it..
At some point in my life I realized that pursuing to be a pilot is just survivng/existing and I found it depressing.
I contemplated a little bit and found my purpose. I tried pursuing that purpose and I realized I'm not ready yet mentally.
As an immature, I knew that I had to work for someone who knows what they're doing so I did.
After working for a while, I kinda forgot about my purpose (which is the reason why I wake up everyday) and got depressed again.
I realized why I'm depressed, left my job to pursue my passion and failed once again, but this time I am aware why.
Knowing that I don't believe in getting paid by time but rather with results.
I decided to finally pursue trading, as a stepping stone towards my purpose.
Hello!
I am an amateur trader in Dubai..
Day Trading can be really lonely, and I think it is very obvious that it can be difficult to find new friends who doesn't have the same interest as you.
I'm 22 years old from the Philippines and I just started to dedicate myself in becoming a profitable trader.. I'm not there yet but I will.
A quick background, I've been pursuing entrepreneurship since I was 16 and I kept failing for some reason..
I tried getting a day job in sales like by selling real estate and working for my mentor in the financial services field.. but for some reason there is something in it that isn't fulfilling so I just decided quit my job and pursued the vision which is to start a business which I believed would help make the world a better place..
However as an immature, things didn't go well and that's how I finally decided to start trading as it fits my character.
Now that I'm doing so, I think many would be able to relate with the feeling of being isolated.. that's why I thought of creating this thread..
It's hard to find genuine people with a deep mission in life, but I'm giving it a shot..
If you are a day trader, and you don't mind making friends to share ideas with.. I would really love to connect..
I'm looking forward in talking to you!
Kind Regards

Would you be interested in rules based trading or would you be more interested in artistic and intuitive trading?
What timeframe charts would you like to trade?
Ideally, when do you want to trade them, stated in New York time please?
I've been known to stay up late a time or two myself.

One thing I can say is that day trading is the hardest timeframe to start with. It is possible to make a living out of it but for someone that is starting out it is closer to gambling than anything else.
I would suggest you to start with swing trading as a way to build patience and resilience, let's say on weekly timeframes, then if you are successful in these longer timeframes move to shorter and noisier action.
There are many cases of traders that start with day trading and blow their accounts in days.

Damn Overnight, you can also be poetic!
Or did you grab that from a song/movie?
LIFE is poetry in motion. When you see it, you grab it if it fits. This commercial, made what, 30 years ago? It encapsulates my thoughts about my aviation career I saw ahead of me, but I let it go. Except in the video, I was not the wanderer who dreamed about flying to a destination. I wanted to be the pilot who brought you there.
