Day trading- 3 months later, my experience


Recommended Posts

How about the following statement from the top of the home page (that seems to have been forgotten about).....

"Spread bets and CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 66% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work, and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money."

I've seen that 66% figure well above 80% at times elsewhere. Users are now therefore beating the system more than they used to OR the industry found a new consensus to define that risk lower to make it more attractive perhaps?. You decide.

The above tells you that the vast majority, and I mean VAST, WILL lose money. This thread simply is yet another one that proves the statement is quite correct.

Unless you consider yourself to be in the top 10%-20% (and let's face it we ALL do) then a sensible person would say steer well clear. Hmmm.Human nature says otherwise ....and that's why you're here.

This is really just another lesson in life, learning more about ourselves rather than becoming an "expert" in financial markets.

Good luck to you all.

    • Dow Jones Index (#US30): Key Levels to Watch This Week   Here is my latest structure analysis and key levels to watch this week on ⚠️Dow Jones.   Support 1: 31420 - 31830 area Support 2: 30690 - 30900 area Support 3: 30070 - 30360 area   Resistance 1: 32250 - 32610 area Resistance 2: 33430 - 33660 area   The market is currently stuck between Support 1 & Support 2. The market participants are awaiting the interest rate decision on Wednesday. It will most likely clarify the future direction of the market with a breakout.   Consider the underlined structures for pullback/breakout trading.
    • I used to enjoy playing poker and blackjack at casinos, but my love for gambling turned into an addiction when I started losing more often than winning. It took hitting rock bottom for me to seek help and change my habits. I joined a support group and worked with a therapist to develop healthier habits. Now, I still go to casinos, but I do so with caution and moderation, setting strict limits and avoiding addictive games. I've learned to control my impulses and make smarter decisions when it comes to my finances.
    • Hi @MayorofBelsize and All,  After checking with the relevant team, the integration will be finalized to mid year. It will be a staggered launch so not all countries will get access at the same time. We will confirm the details of the integration and the date by email to all our clients. We apologize for the delay and inconvenience.  All the best, OfentseIG
