Hello everyone, I need some ideas on an unusual topic.
I’ve been trading on and off for a few years now and my consistency wasn’t great mainly because I let other things get in the way and looking back throughout the year I realized that my biggest distraction was when I dated and started a new relationship.
One of the issues lies with me, I mean priorities are priorities but when you are excited about meeting someone new you want to spend time with them; with work and other commitments trading can get sidetracked. The other aspect is some women can be a bit needy or bored in their free so they would expect their bf to spend all of his free time doing activities together.
In other situations, some relationships can be a bit volatile and ruin my inner peace/focus in a way that nothing else can (stay away from crazy people!)
I started getting consistency now in terms of research hours and daily habits; I plan to start live trading in 3 to 4 weeks depending on how my research goes. I am also thinking that it would nice to meet someone again but from past experience, I think I would lose focus again.
What do you think?
Also, for those of you with long term relationships that have been trading for a while, how do your partners deal with your time spent with markets, especially since you “are home all day” ?
Easy. Get a girl that understands/lets you trade and/or use a strategy that allows you to spend time with a loved one.
-Try developing algo
-Trade the daily timeframe and use and EA to get you in when you see the setup. I’ve done this, it takes less than 5 minutes (I had to abandon since sometimes no trade for a whole month and that doesn’t suit my personality).
-Enter a trade at market open on Monday/Sunday depending where you are. Do your analysis during the weekend.
-Say, baby doll, I just gotta trade the London open for 1 hour then I am all yours.
I see relationships as a healthy distraction. Honestly I always think, what would making millions all mean if I have no loved ones to enjoy it with.
If you’re making consistent profits and treating trading in a professional manner very few women will stand in your way. Its not just the money prospects, discipline and success at a chosen field of difficulty say much about the person. People like successful people.
In more general terms, of course a new relationship is exciting. But even when it is new, you must maintain a sense of who you are. You have interests, dreams, goals, ambitions, abilities, skills, talent, preferences and ideas - and friendships - different to your partner’s - even the most compatible people in a relationship are not clones of each other. So you must still be yourself, not just submerge and become half of another entity which is your relationship together.
But keep dating and seeking - everyone deserves to find a life partner.
LOL good question , I work 24/7 with my wife as trade for a living using a set up in my wifes business & at home as seen in many of my vids etc. I think that you have to involve your partner in the good and the bad of trading so that you are at peace in your mental state, If you are hiding losses or wins then that adds pressure that will spill over into trading.
Joanne understands what I do and why I d it so she supports me , which in turn gives me clear direction in what I am doing and the end result is greater profit and a happy life
People normally work from 9 to 5. So not really sure what the problem is. Normally when you work 9 to 5 you only text or call and are free after working hours. Trading is the same as you dont work nights, weekends or bank holidays. Also 2 weeks over xmas and even the summer are periods where most people dont trade. So in some cases it’s better. If you have a target for the month and you hit it early then the rest of the month is free time to spend how you want.
During this lockdown some people still have to work from home. So nothing has changed as you’re normally working from home trading anyway.
At the moment I am working on building trading setups and after that will move on to live markets again. I a string to make the most out of this quarantine period.
After that, I will be back to work 4 days a week and trade 3 to 5 days ( if I work afternoons I can still catch European open);
My key take from this is that boundaries and discipline are needed more than I thought in one’s personal life. Not sure why this wasn’t clearer in the beginning but thanks, guys!
Proper knowledge is required for profit in the Forex market. In each case, you have to practice trading. If you want to profit consistently, you must maintain discipline. Women always want boys to follow their lead. They are happiest when they spend a lot of time behind them. But it is never possible for a man to keep only one woman happy.
i’ll respond honestly to you. you are in a business not in a hobby, if you are not ready to dedicate a looooot of time to trading then dont trade. go unto investing.
you are not here just to participate you are here to win. a GF is a drag attached to your leg , let women on their side for now go unto business. you cant have the ass unto two chair.
First go unto trading than when you’ll win you find a GF but not until you win its like this. as an entrepreneur you have to make sacrifice. of course its hard , not funny , but its like this.
if you are not able to put aside a pussy for a moment, then you arent able to make others required sacrifices to reach the level of a profitable trader.
its a 4years eunuch who tell you that
and to me its important that when youll have a wife and have a trading career you have not to be at home all day. she can stay at home you go to work on a coworker station with your own desk, you open other businesses to keep you busy and you make other things. never mix business and women
Hi, I’ve been on the opposite end of this and as long as you are upfront with how you plan to move forward with both your career and your hopes for a relationship things should work out. And of course when I mean have that discussion I mean that both parties agree that they can go along with a plan such as that. Or like others in this forum have said: try to find a like minded partner. I’ve been a partner to a long term trader when I wasn’t trading myself and it isn’t that difficult to respect boundaries and encourage career growth as long as it’s communicated. Good Luck!
From someone mature in age everything you say makes sense - but from the standpoint of a younger dude with hormones raging the sex will win out everytime - almost guaranteed
only escorts can help OP through his trading path no useless texting , no prolongated date, no headhache because she is putting you in rage , no deconcentration of the trading path.
seriously OP , if you’ll have a GF while trying to trade you’ll fail. already saw what it looks like
no GF is not the only sacrifices youll have to make : no money(all will go to feed your trading account) , no parties (you work on weekend) , see very few times your friends , see very few times your family , no security (no guaranteed wage, no guaranteed vacation), etc
Or find a kawai korean yandere. she’ll make you dinner and not asking questions and making no noise. desuuu (and they are more cute,more calm, less damaged goods than white/latinas girls)
enjoy your industrial pasta with ketchup everyday (frozen fish and rice without sauce, and all the worst dinner) if you are in couple with a white girl. and the fact that she is more used than a train station so she is slowly sliding to hysterical mode so she will pissed off you. the facts that she will want more and more attention from you the duck then after giving her that she will cheat on your back and dump you like the worst ■■■■ then you gonna lose control over trading (in the almost impossible case that you made a profitable demo account during months)
will pass you the details about his morbid obesity/his spongious falling down tits/his vertical ass , his unwearable strident voice always speaking loud, and you dont satisfied in bed
no useless texting , no prolongated date, no headhache because she is putting you in rage , no deconcentration of the trading path.
