Trading ( fx , stocks , ...) & Nofap

Hey there bro. I trade forex too, not the best but on my way to it and retention/Nofap is definitely a big part of my trading journey. Currently flatlining but I briefly remember the amount of motivation I had sometime ago.
P.S.
Being on flatline is worse than I was fapping in terms of trading and general life.

 

Hi I trade stocks and options but have had a series of losers lately. Losses so bad that they wiped out my gains of the entire year and left me in the negative now. I basically would have been better off if I had not made a single trade AT ALL. In fact i got so disillusioned that I began to doubt my skills and my judgement and i think I am going to hang up my boots once and for all. I mean QUIT TRADING.

It is sad because I was really excited about it and devoted so much time to learning the Technical Analysis and so forth but I am frequently wrong in my predictions and the few times I was right I ended up getting stopped out and then the next day the stock took off TO THE MOON and I was no longer in the position (because I had been shaken out of the position by a blip that triggered my stop-loss).

I would have made more money if I had been working at McDonalds flipping burgers. I am not being sarcastic, I mean that I have LOST more money than I made this year and also in 2018. It is very depressing to have spent hundreds and hundreds of hours in study and watching the screens....all that work and all that effort and to have LOST more money than if I had just stayed in bed watching television and done absolutely nothing.

And of course I turned to fapping and to drinking alcohol to try to feel better. But I have lost all my confidence in my ability to trade and have wasted so many weeks and months of study and in the end I have to look in the mirror and admit that I am a failure at trading....that I dont know what the hell I am doing and my predictions are wrong about 75% of the time. Im glad to hear that you other guys are better at it than me and are actually turning a profit. But in my case I decided to quit about 1 week ago FOR GOOD and to learn computer programming instead.

 

I'm sorry, I mistakenly read your title as "socks" to begin with, and was gonna comment that this is probably not the best site to try selling your underwear! XD I know absolutely nothing about actual financial trading, though.

 

Hey bro, yes I am a trader but not forex, the U.S stock market. I’m getting the hang of it now getting consistently profitable. One thing I recommend is 80% control emotion and 20% of what you know. So try meditation before trading, cold showers...etc pretty much any habit that will make you take control of your over thinking mind. Also you gotta be a learning machine ty a dopamine detox just deleting distractions like social media and YouTube video and only focus only on videos and post that will make you a better trader. You have to understand that you need to work harder then everyone else to see results fast. Best of luck and peace.

 

By the way I’m 100 days in today on NoFAP and it’s one of the best habits I’ve implemented. It does help with not focusing on girls only focusing on your future and goals and time to time it gives me insane energy to get shit done.

 

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. I have ThinkorSwim so i am going to do some paper trading with a 100k simulation account. But if i blow up that 100k account then I will quit. I mean the 100k paper trading account. But yeah I dont want to just quit because I lost 400k of real money on 2008 when my father passed away and left me an inheritance and I lost 400k dollars of real money because of the real estate mortgage crisis and all the stocks that went bankrupt.

So the stock market owes me that money back.

 

I first found a great mentor which is Tim sykes he has a bunch of students and 6 millionaire students I would recommend him to you, by the way trading and investing is totally different when you said you first started with 400k and now 100k paper stimulation pretty much sounds like investing, I started with $790 studied for 6 months with my mentor and his students, started trading lost a little bit now I’m consistently profitable averaging about 50- 90 dollars a day I just started this summer I want to see how much I can grow my account and how much I can make in a day

 

I using E*TRADE free commission now since they changed about 2 or months ago I think

 

Hello,

I just came across this post, I am FX & Equities trader. I have been doing nofap and semen retention etc for the last month nearly successfully. Still need to post a success story as well.

However this caught my eye. I have felt that through nofap and semen retention my mind has become sharper and clearer and thus has reflected upon my trading ability and skills. I usually aim for around 50 - 60 pips per week as a goal, usually it used to take me a lot more time to analyse and calculate my entries.

However since starting nofap and semen retention I see the entries more clearly and it's like they are staring at me waiting to be taken. Usually my trades used to run long into the London session however now by around the first half of the London session I am done. This has meant that the rest of my days are free to do whatever I want. So yes I am seeing results from it.

Hope this helps others and will get round to writing a success story in the relevant section soon sharing experiences, what helped me stop etc to hopefully help others and motivate.

 

Hi i traded stocks, options, forex, futures and binaries for 8 years. I've lost nearly $100,000. I haven't traded for 4 years. What I have learned is that the second that you become emotional in your trading, you're done. I get excited when I think about putting on another trade. Right now, I am on indefinite hiatus, focusing on other goals.

 

I’m not a trader or anything, but I’d like to have a future career in finances, so if anyone had recommendations or wanted to talk it would be much appreciated

 

So what do you recommend I begin studying, where do I start, what are some books you recommend. Thanks
