Well /biz/?
i've now funded my real account. at this point, i must deal with real risk. gotta put your money where your mouth is. waiting on currency conversion from CAD to USD because the TSX is slow as shit.
never "blew up" my paper account. tried a lot of strategies. hardest part was to cut losing trades fast. i'm able to call support and resistance very well now.
last 3 weeks made 11% return on paper. last 2 weeks was up 20%. this last week was bad. market shook me out when i was on the right side of many long positions. should have definitely been net positive this week as well.
you're always fighting fear and greed. even this morning i called the top for AAPL intraday, didn't take my profit and closed out at a loss waiting for it to break 120. exited at the same entry point. good thing because it never recovered to the same prices.

Tru senpai. I just wish us Canadians had something like Robinhood since I don't have all that much dough to use(and probably lose) right now.
I don't even know what I'm doing tbqh. I just buy memes that /biz/ says for fun lol

good luck with that. when you're ready to go in for real money i hope you practice for long enough. the emotional side is huge.
>mfw first week papertrading
>position keeps moving against me
>finally cut at -$2000
i'm the kind of guy who has to win. even with fake money my heart races. the PNL number is like a score. and i fucking hate it when it shows negative. if you can treat fake money like the real thing, the big question will be live market fills. trade with real time data. not simulated data.
Paper trading is like masturbating. Why would I when I could do the real thing?

For fun when you're poor, lad. Why else?

I had to sell KBIO at a loss because i bought the meme too late
I hope my current portfolio goes well tho, seems promising at least

masturbating helps with your pacing, your ability to know when to pull back or up the ante and your ability to know when it's time to pull the trigger on your final profit.
just because the 'real thing' is good doesn't mean that masturbating doesn't help you in the long term bruh.

I just bought kbio after it jumped 400% at 10.4 out of curiosity lol ,sold most of them at 21, bought again when they dropped.

I blame it on the charts being shit on this app.(maybe just on my phone but idk it's really messed up)
>>967956
I use another app to keep track of things, and I noticed that stock trainer is 15min slower , you can sometimes cheat a bit with that delay

im up a million USD shorting the USD against the pound on a 5 million dollar account, it took a few months and i lost 2 million on the way but it looks like im in for another 1-3 million before quarter 2 16 considering that now i'm calibrated.
