Few people talk about how boring trading can be

  1. Try do that on Gold, then tell me if it's boring , I can recommend more pairs for you, but take gold by the horn first, for there will be hardly a dull or boring moment

    Thanks, I've been thinking about trading gold. Tesla has really caught my eye too.

    Make 50 trades per day and lose money like I did that one day.

    Basically, I don't think you're doing intraday trading which I wouldn't call boring..... And that's ok.

  4. Good too, I average 70 to 100 trades daily scalping, that is stressful.

    Well, I have no offense to what you feel, but trading has been chosen by some people here as their career, the only source of their income because of which they trade all day long. It is stressful enough but strict risk management is needed to avoid the emotional barrier. Granted not for everyone, it depends on how people trade.

    Well that's nice, but some of us are just starting out and learning our lessons. Which it would be boring to anyone else who is learning. But I've found with positive results it becomes less boring:thumbsup:

  8. Of course it's boring -if you want a thrill jump out of a plane or sail the Atlantic in November. Day trading is another mind set- no idea why people do that, when you can make serious coin with options and work 30 minutes a week. I suspect it's thrill seeking and most people blow up after a while. Been trading 20 years never saw the logic of trying to guess an intra day move. Thought I could day trade despite a prolific futures trader telling me after 15 years she had at best broken even, but each to their own. Nothing is more boring than poverty however
