My job is holding me back

Discussion in 'Trading' started by Jdesey, Dec 26, 2022.


  1. I am pretty transparent with my trades. No one here even really day trades, you guys don't post trades, never post a pnl, never willing to get in voice and trade live. You are watching the forums like all the time. I am seriously asking what are you doing on here? I go away to focus and get things done. Look how useless conversations are on here. All you do is complain about others, you offer literally zero insight. That's not even a slight against you, it's literally what you do and don't do.

    I was a managing director of equity derivatives,worked at a 15 bil plus hedge fund,and "networked" with several hedge fund operators with 1 bil plus asests..Im not negative,I am simply telling you that your way of looking at performance is unique and not how anyone I have ever met operates..

    Why so sensitive??

    This is an enormous psychological barrier for manual (point n click) retail traders.

    Job security with medical/dental/insurance benefits removes a lot of stress from the trading of a retail trader. In comparison, a profitable trader with no job would typically have those barriers (stress) that can sabotage their trading performance because the risk of ruin will always be there.

    Simply, those that are profitable in trading while having a job...should just keep things as it is and dream of taking early retirement from their job so that they can trade full-time as in trade for a living.

    Regardless, the thread starter has some things to think about considering he needed to come to the forum to announce his intentions.

    He said $100k. $1,500,000 per year.

    Any insight into his strategy/strategies?

    If you can increase/compound your profits by 5% a year, that is exponential profit growth. With a doubling time of about 15 years.

  7. I am really not, just a lot of the things people say here are very suspect and not congruent at all with active day trading. Most people speaking in terms of longer term trading and using time and account size as their edge, trying to pass off as active day traders and giving their tips and help to other's looking to day trade. It's just very odd and misleads a lot of retail smaller traders here. Pointless for me to debate this though, truly don't care enough.

  9. Impressive patients you have here. I haven't even made it big yet and I can barely stand to be on this website sometimes, it's an unbelievable time sink. Truly don't get why people come on here to debate garbage.

    No that is not exponential.

    That is compounded.

    Exponential is a similar to parabolic.
