I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions.

The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

Im starting a new job but still employed somewhere else. I was trying to be open about staying at BOTH places. My current job won’t let me be part time because they don’t allow “set schedules”.

This place is more focused on strict policies and not actually trying to work their employees and being flexible.
