The intraday is a casino

    I am a normal worker, mechanic to be concrete, I can not risk losing what little I have. I have children to support. I will continue with the long term, it is the only way to win. Intradia is not for me. I've tried it and it has not gone well. I accept it. If you have succeeded, very well, I am happy for you. Today I was angry, last week I lost a lot of money with the intraday. Good luck for all of you. Goodbye friends.

  2. Hello TTT,

    I can tell you this:

    The more and more and more I day trade and take my own manual trades, I realize the problem is not the market, the problem is ME. I have to be better and accountable in this journey. I have to take 100% responsibility in my learning to day trade if I want to be successful. Worrying about if intraday trading is like a casino or easy or hard or this or that is a waste of time.

    Don't worry about if intraday is like a casino, focus on consistently taking money from the casino.

  3. TTT,

    Your situation is no different from mine or any other person.

    If you don't want to lose money, stop losing money and trade paper/sim and practice until you prove to yourself you can trade profitable consistently.

    Only use a simulator to familiarize yourself to a new broker trade execution platform or test a new change in your trade method after backtesting...both of which should take 1 - 2 months.

    After 2 months of simulator trading, its time to traverse into small size real money trading via the minimum size. Simply, the longer you stay on the simulator with a trade execution platform you know very well or with a trade method you know very well...

    Simulator trading will result in too many psychological problems when traversing into real money trading.

  7. Thank you wrbtrader and I appreciate you for the comments.

    I am working on building up a small size trading capital now. I will be live in about a month. Gotta get Christmas out of the way.

    Agree, because if you know what you are doing you get to be the casino.
