I knew how I wanted to trade, and removed myself from various groups/chats etc
I know my trading edge works and that is what i solely focused on without being surrounded by what ‘everyone else’ was doing, or should I say trying to market.
Don’t get me wrong I do interact with people lol but surround myself with the right people, those being actual traders, not marketers who claim they can trade.
i sure will keep you updated on progress
this is great advice the whole trading scene especially forex and crypto is pumped full of marketeers…you make a sound judgement about removing yourself from various social media groups.
Trade with brain and discipline, if you are emotional person then you can not survive this market.
I guess it’s simple. If you are ready to lose a particular sum of money and it will not influence your lifestyle a lot, then go ahead and try. Just don’t get hooked and do not exceed the amount allowed.
Thanks - care to elaborate as to why that’s your only rule?
Wise words Honeymoon
Do you think people can emotionally unattach themselves to trading?
Thanks - a good incite here
Very true there
For me I put on wet socks, drink a bottle of whiskey and listen to flight of the valkyries on my phonograph… but each to their own.
It was about a year ago and quit at that point, hoping to get back into it now though, reading and watching as much as I can at the min.
most definitely. 
Slightly unorthodox but what works works
Every day is a school day with trading
To be emotionless is an unnatural state for a person to have I think but it is achievable. For most I think it is better phrased as needing to be able to CONTROL your emotions rather not have any!!
Good for you paulap.
Getting back to the nuts and bolts is a good place to start.
Best of luck with your learning and trading.
Good point here
Thank you realey
A very important trading rule; I also consider RR % carefully in my live trading.
