Pro trading can be lonely

Now how about we get back to trading and helping? :smiley:

I was referring to TradingView, not my site. Let’s not be hostile man, it’s not the vibe of this place. I’m here to help, meet traders and share knowledge. I know the house rules, so let’s just move on. We can use this energy much better. But please let me know if I break any of the house rules. Thanks.

I’m just saying, you may appear to be helping here, but go to your site and you offer everything BP warns traders about.

You’re absolutely right. I apologize if I’m sounding hostile, just looking out for the community. We’re all here to have fun and to learn.

Best of luck to you.

No worries, thanks for the kind words! I like it that you guys are protective about the community you care for. I’m new here (sort of) so a healthy dose of skepticism is always warrented.

Anyone having the same doubts, I suggest following my trading journal for a week or so and then making your own conclusions again :slight_smile:

Thanks guys!

That would be me.

I used Notion to journal every trade with both entry screenshots exit screenshots as well as sometimes follow up screenshots. All with notes and comments. I have sinced graduated to Edgewonk which I find brilliant. Couple this with trade account keeping using TJS spreadsheets.

You don’t do this you don’t know exactly how you are tracking with your trading. Sound business practice.

Very nice! :smiley:

Traders have no idea how much of a bigger picture they’re missing if they don’t do this. I haven’t seen Edgewonk before, looks interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Happy trading.

I have worked from home for 8 years and yes you need to make a social life for yourself, work mates are no longer there.

Exactly, man I love the freedom but sometimes I think I romantize how great it also was to work with other people. You tend to forget the bad times, but luckily I never had much of those during my 9-to-5 days.

Can you share 2-3 charts / recent trades you’ve made with entry/exits?

Of course! On request I started a journal thread with last week’s trades in them. Looking forward to having you there.

Saw the charts- how about the actual trades? Can you share your entry/exit prices and percentages?

I dont get lonely as I have a wife and kids but I do miss the daily interactions

Yes, trader jobs are not like other jobs. It will also depend on if we come into contact with a trader sooner or later. The trader is a highly independent job, and maybe loneliness is also understandable. except for traders who have a degree, can work for the company, as well as work in teams :smile:
