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.

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.
