I am learning!
Perhaps you can get a demo acc and start trading.
It’s a nice way to learn
Welcome Steven! Sounds like you are coming from a good place with a job and family (all helps with the support - we all need it!). Check out the education tab here and get stuck in. Remember to practice as your time allows and remember that there is a trading style for everyone depending on their lifestyles. If you don’t have loads of time to trade then 1min scalping probably won’t work for you but say swing trading might. The best thing to do is learn how and why the markets move and then start to collate all of that into a strategy that works for you as you progress. Good luck!

Thanks for the support everyone!
I’m struggling with my indicators, especially my entry. Overcoming emotional panic trades had been a chore, what a liberating feeling it is to control that and stop those panic fomo trades. Now that I’ve got my emotions nearly completely in check, I find myself with no positions and constantly wondering when to enter. I’m trading mostly crypto as I enjoy the volatility and am a holder of cryptocurrency.
Anyone here interested in talking about some tips!? Would be much appreciated… The FUD is real
Hi thanks for the reply!
I’m not sure what scalping is exactly but swing trading by day is kindof what ive been testing… any tips on entry indicators? Seems to be my issue is timing
