In the past two years, 250 investors have reached out to GamCare, the gambling charity, for support. Callers reported getting a “high” from trading online, often trading throughout the night. Some wanted to leave their jobs so that they could trade full time. According to one user: “I was looking at the trading apps nearly 16 hours a day. I kept putting my money in and chasing losses … That’s when I realised it was no longer trading – it was a gambling problem.”

As a part-time trader posting as responseBot indicated on the Fragile Deal forum, “[Being a successful trader is] more than a full-time job, just on improving and researching their trades. Attention to detail is often very important. A part-time commitment is quite unlikely to succeed.”Whether you’re a seasoned trader or just starting, you’ll find valuable insights and inspiration from Akil’s engaging and down-to-earth style. According to one CFD retail investor writing anonymously online, each loss made him more determined to chase a win, resulting in more and more losses. Retail investors believe that if they land on the right strategy, they’ll be able to make money, but unlike institutional investors, many do not have the level of understanding of historical market data that comes from years of studying and working in finance. Instead, trading is more of a side hustle and investors make decisions based on piecemeal research or even gut feeling. The latter is especially risky – any fluctuation in price movements can lead to feelings of panic or elation, resulting in rash decisions. Predicting an asset’s price movements is about more than just your gut instinct. Most traders use complex technical indicators to make their predictions, such as by noting changes in a moving average (the average price of an asset over a certain time period). TradingView, a platform where traders can create custom charts of assets, offers users more than 100 technical indicators, ranging from simple moving averages to complicated tools like Fibonacci projections, Gann Fans, and Ichimoku Clouds. If you’re struggling to understand what any of that means, you’ll see why most beginners run into trouble.

For traders who have a theoretical understanding of technical analysis but want to trade with actual money, this course is crucial. Day traders spend a lot of time trying to understand complex patterns and trading strategies, but no matter how long you spend studying or how good you get at trading, the chances of you being right aren’t particularly high. One study found that even market “gurus” only get it right 47% of the time. Trader apo99 at the Elite Trader forum noted the difficulty of making a mistake as he suffered “a 200k loss [during 2022] in 2 days, took a huge option trade and screwed up, something I had no business doing.”

Swing trading is a popular strategy involving holding a position for several days to weeks. It’s a trading strategy that requires discipline, patience, and a deep understanding of the markets. As a swing trade, you should have a plan for every trade you make. The industry that's been the fastest to adopt its platform is the real estate industry, with realtors using it to provide virtual tours of properties. But the potential use cases seem immense across industries such as travel and hospitality, retail, insurance, architecture and construction, and facility management. This transformation is largely thanks to founder and CEO Jensen Huang, whose business savvy seems on par with his tech brilliance. CFO Colette Kress also deserves much credit, as she's been the finance leader for eight years. Media portrayals of day trading may make you believe that you only need to work for an hour a day and then sit around raking in the cash, but the reality is far less glamorous. Think hours upon hours of staring at lines on a screen, then spending most of your downtime studying the markets.

Last year I made 90k from reselling shoes, then lost 83k from leverage trading and options through the past 10 months,” reads another. “My parents still think I’m their successful little entrepreneur. Little do they know I have trouble sleeping at night knowing I threw away my college tuition.” Hosted by two experienced swing traders, ClayTrader and Chezz, this podcast is all about helping traders of all levels succeed. If this all sounds too good to be true, that’s because it may be. By law, trading apps that offer CFDs such as eToro, Trading 212, IG and others have to issue disclaimers to any new customer warning that retail investors – people who trade using their own cash rather than institutional investors, who invest on behalf of clients – lose money when trading CFDs. Depending on the platform that could be between 71% and 87% of investors.Another reason why day traders tend to lose money is that it’s very different from long-term investing. While traders take advantage of price swings (which means they have to make specific predictions), investors tend to buy a diversified basket of assets for the long haul. They’ve got time and diversification on their side. The bottom is that listening to swing trading podcasts is a great way to stay up-to-date with the latest market trends, learn from experienced traders, and get inspired to take your trading game to the next level. Matterport has been transforming itself into a subscription-focused company, with subscription revenue accounting for 52% of total revenue in the first half of 2021.

Akil understands that trading is not just about making money but also about building a successful and fulfilling life, ultimately leading to becoming a profitable trader.
