    Hi. I have just started out with stocks and trading and i am looking to chat with some fellow trader

    I am from Norway and i am 20 years old and works With IT, and i got interested in the stock market and trading for about 6 months ago.

    I work with IT witch means that i am able to be on the computer all day long while i am at work so i got a ton of time for this.

    What i am looking for is other trader to chat with and maybe share some experience.
    I don't mind getting a mentor ether. Right now i have about $3000 to trade for and it should be growing with $1000 for every month now with some of the money that i earn from my job. But i am currently taking baby steps when i am trading because i still have a lot to learn

    Pm me if you want my skype

  4. 1. For a year or two you will lose money, so size down and don't trade a lot.
    2. Once you develop some proficiency and experience, you will join the 90% of traders who break even. It's not that they don't lose money, they do because of mistakes, frustration, revenge trading, you name it.
    3. The road ends here for most traders.
    4. Some people get so frustrated they make changes. They have a chance. Hint: If you do as others do, you are guaranteed to get the same results.
    5. Forget fundamental and technical analysis. These things are only tools, they won't give you a different result. Once you reach a competent level of TA, you have all the proficiency you will ever need.
    6. Don't trust one guru for $5000, nobody knows it all, and nobody knows exactly what you need. Two hundred free gurus are worth ten times what one $5000 guru is worth. Spread your nets wide and just listen, ignoring systems and indicators. The winners all say the same things. Keep your money in your pocket. From the perspective of your account, $1000 spend on education is equivalent to a $1000 loss. Unless that money comes from profits, it has to stay at chump change levels.
    7. Buy a podcast, and download as many interviews as you can, podcasts are good, and books are ok. Trust me, you'll reach a level where the books yield diminishing returns.
    8. Put nobody on a pedestal.
    9. The guys who appear to be great traders are not, they are snake oil salesmen. These people know you look up to someone who projects that he can trade what he wants, when he wants, and where he wants. They imply they have eerie tape reading skills and nerves of steel, and they can massage sick entries into great trades. Actual winners are humble, they know they can't do these things, but they are so succeptible to crowd think that they don't realiz these attributes are just baloney, they don't make money. Trust me, if traders thought winners were Transexual Transvestites from Transylvania, you'd have the internet awash in educators in drag.
    10. Trading is a religion. No, it's worse. You will very quickly be "good enough" to make, AND KEEP money, but you won't be able to think for yourself because humans don't do that. There's people out there making and keeping money using ESP, frigging Astrology. Do these things work? Nope, but their trading isn't correlated to what the majority is doing (breakeven trading).

    PS: Good luck, followed by the singularly most important thing I can advise you, don't be stubborn. There are geniuses who can't scalp, and idiots making money buying and holding. If you bust doing whatever retard thing you WILL try (we all do) come back at half the position size and twice the holding time. Don't waste your trading career doing the impossible. Eventually you will find a time frame that matches the one between your ears. The winner's circle gets bigger as you move up in time frames.

    everything is correct, but probably not usable by novice... because the experience is not transferable
