The important thing is to learn from your mistakes and keep trying. I'm sure you'll be able to turn things around if you stay positive and continue working hard.

If you’re using astrology (TA) to make investment decisions then you’re going to get fucked no matter how much DD you do

You don’t know how many times I told myself the same thing after getting liquidated. But I always come back the next monday with my paycheck to play the same game.

Those are rookie numbers. You haven't even lost 4 figures yet

I cut my losses too and I’m checking out of wsb since I’m too sensitive to buying stock on internet whims.

My leftovers will go in to funds. Boring but hopefully not -90% results anymore lol.

I did not use TA for most of them, I read the news and DCF. First strategy was to target companies with low cash flow and high debt, which kinda work. The second that caused me all the loses was TA, so you are right. Or maybe it’s because I’m not experienced in TA; who knows.

Sounds like an okay-ish approach without the TA but you’d need to learn a lot more about the fundamentals and really get across their financials more. TA is all bullshit because you can’t predict the future by using charts as the scales can be so easily manipulated to suit your hypothesis on what’s going to happen

Yes, I learn it the hard way today. I’m well aware that the approach is not perfect, as I was experimenting and iterating strategies that looks plausible, but today’s loss was purely due to greed; as i was up £300 at the start. So regardless, I realise at the moment I’m still way too bad at trading

Yeah, now I know. I was enticed by the leverage, and I couldn’t find a platform that does option initially (but now I do know about Plus500). So I thought why not give Cfds a try, and was told that they use the spread from Bloomsberg so thought it wouldn’t be that bad, I was wrong and lost money.
