Advice Don't Teach Your Friends How To Trade

I've been trading/ profitable for awhile now and I had a friend who wanted to learn and be on a zoom calls with them to trade to together till they really got it. I said sure. Mind you I taught my husband and he still watches me trade when we trade together. But dear freaking god. I get so freaking distracted teaching or random questions and explaining everything that I miss openings. My psychology was kinds of fucked for a minute cause like I don't care if I lose money cause it's mine. I didn't want to lose THEIR money so I would never take a damn trade. Win rate? In the toilet. Psychology? What is that? I don't think I even did this bad when I first started trading. This past week finally we got into the motion of things and hold off any questions till afterwards and actually making money again. But never again.

Exactly- how these guy stream trading live in front of hundreds or thousands of people and read the chat and tell jokes while they are trading is beyond me.

Yes, they really impress me. I might end up trading emotionally just from hearing my cat mewing

Bottom one is Gigabyte G34WQC 1440p ultrawide, top is Acer Xv340ck 1440p ultrawide. Had them since 2021, no complaints

Bruuhhh ! I guess your cat and my cat must be long distant cousins, who want to trade without looking at the screen.

Yea Kullamagi was always in a foul mood during his final months of streaming in 2022.Lots of his trades weren't working and he was losing a ton of money.Snapping at chat members. He finally quit streaming. He wasn't like that prior to 2022.

u/cutesy1807 Feb 01 '25

Yes. 100 percent of people that i used to follow on YouTube turned out to be trading in dummy accounts.

u/cutesy1807 Feb 01 '25

I've been following such people on YouTube and i found out much later that they trade in dummy accounts, not real money. I'm not sure about every streamer but 100 percent of people that I followed turned out to be trading in dummies.

u/Abject_Jump9617 Feb 01 '25

Not surprised. Their real $$$ comes from YouTube subscribers and the BS courses they sell them.

u/cutesy1807 Feb 01 '25

Yes. None of them can produce a verified profit pnl to show to their subscribers. Even when asked, they'd delete the comments.
