its lulz o'clock
its lulz o'clock
I hate my job (work in a pub).
Telling someone to man up! is like kinda calling them to stop being a pussy. :-0
Oh all - right then I'll just pull my self together and brush my hair shall I? :cheesy:
I know it looks like I'm saying "mean" things or lulz things etc etc, but the OP asks for words of wisdom and I gave mine based on what I know and he can either take them or not take them, it's no difference to me. (i don't have mental health problems, but i have a physical health problem)
i could say do x, do y, do z, but i have done this in the past when other people asked for advice and then i go back weeks or months later and say "how are you getting on, have you done this, what happened...?" and 9 times out of 10 they will have taken absolutely no advice, have done nothing and still be having the same problem, so just a waste of time in the first place really and that's why i no longer give specific advice.
You seem like a frustrated adviser. 9 times out of 10? That's a lot of advice you are giving out.

I'm feelin' so fed up tonight... Had a sh1te night in work. I hate my job (work in a pub). I can't trade for sh1t. Been trying to learn for over 2 years now and feel like I'm going backwards. Done very little actual trading in that time as I have not found an 'edge'. Doesn't help that I'm thick as pig sh1t. I keep thinking about giving the trading dream up but I can't.... I really want to be a trader and also I feel I can't do anything else because of my panic attacks - interviews and driving test are a no no as I either puke or faint I can drive alright I just can't do the test... If I could get a license I's like to start up a business doing carpet cleaning or something but I can't do the f**king test. Besides, I like the challenge of trading, it's definitely what I want to do I just feel like I am getting nowhere with it.
Anyway, I know y'all don't care I just need to have a good moan sometimes and there is nobody here to listen to me other than you guys.... My T2W friends. In fact I like you lot much more than my colleagues and customers!
So what do you guys do when you are really fed up and feeling low? How do you cheer yourselves up or relax? Any good jokes? Quotes? Words of wisdom? Sympathy? Ideas. N don't take the **** or I'll get Pazienza to behead you...

Some people are very insecure for whatever reason, the market is not a good place for these people.
You don't have to be a raging extrovert but a person has to be at least quietly confident.
I think most normal people are put off trading because of the lack of guarantees, the less sensitive types can get around this.
Its all psychological.
Good luck mate.
Jesse Livermore summed it up best back in 1940, shortly before he blew his own brains out:
"The game of speculation is the most uniformly fascinating game in the world. But it is not a game for the stupid, the mentally lazy, the man of inferior emotional balance, or for the get-rich-quick adventurer. They will die poor."
This reminds me. If you (Mega) haven't read Reminiscences (or haven't read it in a while) get it out and study it. The answers to 90% of your trading problems are in there.
