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

I remember It was the first year of my trading career that the movie " Wolf of the wallstreet " came out

in one of its scenes the boss told Leonardo Dicaprio that do you masturbate ? you should masturbate daily in this job , everyday before work

and i was so so naive that i believed it , i was an amatuer trader at the beginning of the road and i thought Yes , this way my psychology would be fixed for the trading day , so i masturbated everyday , maybe twice a day

and you definitely know what happened , i fucked my trading and my life both

the truth is that masturbation doesnt just work with trading

if you want successful trading you MUST Do semen Retention or at least Nofap

And this is hard truth about trading that they dont talk about anywhere
 
One of the good benefits of doing Nofap that nobody really talks about is " Patience "

and Patience is a key for trading

im not a professional Nofapper but ive found whenever i fap a lot , i get into such rush . to just trade , i search the charts for just an entry
no matter what

but when i dont fap for 4 or 5 days i become a goddamn patient day trader

i wait for the best signals , if there is no signal for the entire week , thats no deal , i wont trade the whole week

Hey! Hello there! I'm a trader also but I don't have as much experience as you have. I started trading 2 years ago after finishing some trading courses. But did NoFap influence your trading? You know, I'm able to control my mind when trading and that's a "feature" that I gained while being on the battlefield. At least one got damn positive thing from that coursed war.
I was even able to evolve a bit in trading. I'm at the CFD stage. Have you tried it? It's pretty awesome and it has some features which asset trading doesn't have.

hey , glad to meet you . nofap has a absolute positive influence on my trading . im not a very old nofapper but im an old trader . if you can control your mind that very good . of course you can bring your successful mindset from somewhere else and bring it to trading . but you better read some trading psychology articles as well , because there are many tips and tricks to overcome hard times in trading , when you have 3 or 4 losses in a row . and also do the nofap , i believe if any trader does nofap , he has gone 50% of the road to the success

Finance has a lot of subsets , we are talking about The Trading Career in finance . Trading is very profitable and good job and has a lots of benefits but there are also a lot of cons

Some of the benefits : you have no boss , you can work from any where of the world , there are many traders who are living a traveling lifestyle while trading and making money , you can make a good amount of money ( but it depends on your capital )

Some of the Cons : the first thing is that it takes a lot of time to master trading , at least 2 or 3 years if you study and work hard , do not just think that you are different and you can master it sooner , it just doesnt happen . you will loss money in order to learn the skill . you will need capital for trading . only about 5 % of traders can successfuly make money from this career , 95 % lose money .

Anyway , if you want to learn trading , it is very good to have a day job at first years and while learn and study the skill . and whenever you see the results , you just leave your 9-5 job

Those 95% of losers treat trading like a casino, rather than a business. 5% have a good work ethic, knowledge in trading, experience, and good money management.
 
I was trading like 12years ago and i stopped after CHF put stickcourse to EUR. Lost all of my profits and half of my deposit. Stopped couple months later.

I waited for such a crisis 10 years... but i missed it in development. Now when we are at the bottom of it i already did some purchases.

Lost on OIL 8K USD
I have couple good positions on FX and currently in development
Bought good stocks and wait to recover untill they regain 50%

I will be focusing on OIL again and FX adding after rebound.
STOCKS are good and i need to give them a second try. So far its ok and just need patience.

Nofap giving anybenefits? I cant tell... but because NOFAP released me a lot of time i focused on trading again! I want to give trading about 2hours a day hoping for constant small profits for future.
 
To succeed at trading, I think u have to master 3 abilities. First is money management, because u should know when to take risks and for what amount, otherwise you'll lose everything. The second is analysis. And lastly, u should be mentally strong. Don't give up after one loss. Also, it requires a lot of time and dedication if u want to achieve a significant amount of money. Good luck!

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.

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.

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.

Dam Bro ! this is crazy ! Sorry for your loss and father ! and also you're like a living virgin of the documentaries and movies and books that were based on the 2008 crisis i consumed so much of them to understand the market better and how crisises effects the stocks and other things , i'm excited to hear your thoughts and situation now after the pandemic crisis and how it effected your situation !

Hey Mate . i hope you are doing well , i am not a super star trader either , but i am not a loser , i can get some profit and i am still working on myself to better . some points that i found in your comment and i can talk about them a little maybe that would help you Bro .

1- you said you lost all your last year gain in just some trades . this is absolutely showing that your money management has some problems and you must work on this area of your trading . trust me , money mangement is more than just put 1% or 2 % in every trade , that is just textbook . there is a hell of a lot more to learn in this area .

2- If you have invested so many time in learning technical analysis and trading , it is absolutely wrong to just let go of all those hard work and quit . Mate , dont act emotionaly , this is about your life , this is one of those important decisions that will have a huge impact on your life . in my opinion , dont give up , and dont let all those time be useless , instead , take a little break . forget about trading for a while , and do whatever you want . then come back but not like before , be a swing trader . you can have a job while being a swing trader . it mean you trade 1 or 2 trades per month . this is very profitable also . you work on higher timeframes . at the end of this comment ill give you a good source to learn all these things and a lot more . the guy is dong a free job on youtube . he is a good guy , he is not my relative or someone i know . im not advertising at all .

3- you said you got stopped out and then the stock shot to the moon . that is one of the hard things that happens in trading . it shows something is wrong in your trading , maybe your stop is too tight , maybe you enter too soon ,your timing is wrong , anyway , you just need to study more , the one problem that all trader has is that they spend so much time trading and not studying . there are a lot of things to learn in trading .

All the traders , great ones or ordinary ones , had to go for a break from trading for some time . they decide to let go and quit at first and then came back , with more power . i read this in a trading book .

so dont be emotionaly down mate . every trader has to go through this phase in order to be successful . i quited trading 2 times . i never wanted to come back but here i am now , still trading

i hope this comment helps , sorry for my weak English , its not my first language

The source for learning all those stuff on youtube is the channel : UKSPREADBETTING

the guys name is Mark and he is absolutely one of the best , ive learnt a lot from him . ive watched over 800 videos of this channel

Good luck

Hey Brother , Thanks for the motivation , i'm literlly just a beginner in trading , i watched some youtube videos , and i'll watch the chenl you recomended , i just decided a few weeks ago to enter the stock market not sure weather i want to be an investor or trader or do it full time or just on the side or even just turn away from the stock market and just seek something else lol , is there a chat room or forum for stock investors or traders where they come tiogheter and share ideas and insights and experiences and motivate eachother ? and what advice do you have for me as a beginner ?
 
I traded stocks & options for 5-6 years. Everytime I deposit which was around $500-$1000 I lost all of it within a week. It's not that I am inexperienced noob or just plain suck. Quite the opposite. I was an analyst on a trading discord. Out of the 30 analysts I was voted the top analyst.

The thing is I can make amazing & profitable alerts for others. But when it comes to trading my own money I screwup every single time. I can't pinpoint exactly what I am doing wrong.

But a few things I can think of. Besides terrible luck. Undercapitalized. Overtrading. Fomo & poor risk management.

I have had a suspicion the luck is due to my negative vibes I have carried over the years from too much PMO, Smoking & Internet Addiction.

Well I stopped PMO for the last week so I am gonna see if it helps at all. Maybe if I lose in 2 weeks I'd call it an improvement.

Hey everyone . im a currency (forex) trader , 32 years old . ive been trading for seven years . i dont know if any other trader is out here or not ,

In this thread i like to talk about trading and nofap and the realition between the two , since trading is a psychological game and you need a lot of confidence and self belife in it , i belive nofap and semen retention will play a big role for being successful in this field .

I will write my own expriences about this topic , i will be glad if any other trader join me here and we share our thoughts and expriences

( and sorry for my weak English )

You need to buy and hold. Keep building and diversify. Nobody makes money day trading.
