youve never mooned before I see.
Youve never felt the rush

>>2652590
Yeah maybe I'd have different feelings if I had more success.

It's always the same deal when I try to day trade. Like 80% of the coins I buy immediately drop. Sucks...

>>2652631
lmao do you even look at the charts at all?

>>2652650
I'm a noob, I admit it. I go after coins with high volume that are on an upward trend.

ok

>>2652674
Doesn't have to be fun. But it shouldn't be miserable.

>>2652672
That's generally the opposite of what you want to do.

That's because you probably thought daytrading was some Hollywood bullshit where you click buttons and make 1000% ROI just by making decisions for the sake of making decisions.

Daytrading is just the careful optimization of your positions.

I daytrade at my actual job. I enjoy it way more than working. If I could quit and do it at home while I have a movie playing or something, I'd be in heaven.

Ok, so can you give me some tips and strategies?

>>2652552
If you're not able to be constantly mesmerized by numbers all day long, active trading really is not for you.
but really, if you're not into numbers doing your own investments may just not be your cup of tea. Long term investments need to be researched and reevaluated as well. Starting with making sure whatever you buy is actually here to stay for the cited 10+ years.

I day traded into the crude oil crash. I made 140%+ return in 3 months trading the leveraged oil ETFs in the mornings but it was extremely stressful. My target was usually 2% profit a day or if I got a stop loss or two.

Oil had reached 30$ on the third month. Even though I was making good trades I was staring at charts into 4AM at night and scared shitless.

I moved to mostly blue chips after that and even though I didn't make as much money, I picked up some cheap stocks like BAC at $13, AAPL at $95.

Honestly looking at the numbers is a meme for long term investing

>>2652831
i was thinking of buying USO and just waiting for oil to go back to 100

Never stop reading, looking up information/articles/trends/updates, check /biz, check reddit, observe markets. absorb it all let your mind put it all together dont pressure yourself that you can't do it; trust your gut.

>>2653084
