If you contribute 6% traditional 401k, and 6% Roth as well, which gets matched?! Guessing it doesn't matter in the end...

It doesn't matter, but the match will go into a traditional 401k because it can't be taxed if you don't receive it.

401k gets the match. And it does matter. 401k uses tax free cash thus it will make more money compared to a similar Roth that had its funds taxed. 100 bucks in 401k that makes 10% gets, $10 of growth. Whereas Roth would have the 100 taxed at say 30%, thus $70 Roth would only make $7.

And that doesn't even include the company match to 401k

You contribute a percent based on gross income. So if I contribute 6% of a 100k salary I'm getting $6k in my account either way. Only difference is one is pre-tax and one is post-tax. The actual amount in the account is the same.

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. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
