처음 주식이나 트레이딩 시작할 때 주변에 알리셨나요? 🤔

Whenever I start something big or complicated, I try to keep my space clear from outside influences, especially from people I already know. I kept trading completely private for the first 6–12 months. The only people I talked to about it were others actually involved in trading. Most people outside of it won’t understand what you’re doing anyway, and their opinions can easily distract you or shape your thinking in the wrong way early on. It’s a lot easier to stay focused and build your own framework first, then share it later once you actually have results.

Don't tell anyone. Unless your partner and your spouse if you are spending too much time and blowing your savings on trading. - 99.9% of people you will tell, they will want you to lose money in trading. If they are boyfriend or girlfriend, don't bother telling. - 99.9% will think or tell you that you are gambling and wasting your time on it - you feel good telling people but the same people will keep asking you if you are making profit and if you are retiring each time they see you, you will starting hating their comments. You don't want to deal and hear this long term. Althought trading is one of the sector which funds the whole cash flows of economies - if you have losses and not profitable, they will keep telling you that they told you so and wanted a quick rich scheme - if you become profitable, you and your family maybe at risk. I let you guess what this entails based on where you are located - people will tell others that you are trading - it is like masturbating, you don't tell people you are going to do it, did it and will keep doing it 😅 Telling people you are trading is like telling your surrounding you just had sex when you were a young adult, it is exiting but refrain from doing it

First rule about fight club.

Only my parents

Only my girlfriend. Most of the people will not understand, because trading has a bad image .... Which is normal because there is too much scam

Heed the advice! It generates a lot of negative flak from family and friends. If, during your journey, you need to ask for help, related or not to trading, they may become punitive and want to "teach you a lesson" for trying.

Eu comecei negociando no trabalho, e algumas pessoas viram e me pergutavam o que eu fazia, eu respondia bem resumidamente, pra mim foi a pior coisa que aconteceu, não sei explicar, mas me atrapalhou de alguma forma. Hoje em dia, acho que esqueceram e eu não deixo mais verem e nem comento sobre.

Look for another Trader WHO learns at the Moment, so you have someone to Talk to, also you can share exp. This way you can Help each other. Share misstakes share recourses and so ON.

It is honestly less problems in the start. If you become profitable and make significant money, probably better off not sharing that fact for many reasons.

Yes. Don't recommend it. Anytime I told anyone I ended up putting on more pressure on myself. Like a need to prove something even though it was all in my head. Find a trading community of people you don't know personally and tell them.

I told no one at first. After 2 weeks of green days, I told the wife. The very next day and almost everyday since, I've been red. Something about telling her messed with my head.

From my experience, I definitely think the issue isn’t talking about it, but rather being too specific. Most people don’t really know trading is pretty much like poker but harder. You stack odds on your side, risk manage with controlled emotions but that’s as much as you can do. Just like you may have a hard time judging yourself based on PnL alone, imagine now having social pressure on top of it. So when I’ve talked of people about it who don’t know much about the subject, I just keep it lighthearted and give a general idea, but you won’t see me publishing my predictions or session PnL anytime soon lol.

I tell people only if I’m making money lol

Avoid the negativity from those who never have and never will do what you are doing!

Yes

I don`t tell anyone now - just say I got lucky with $MSFT & $AAPL a long time ago. It`s a waste of time. 1st you have to explain what it is, which can be exhausting - most won`t get it anyway.

i made the mistake of telling too many people when i started. thankfully, i dont talk to them anymore but i def do regret it even tho it didnt necessarily affect me in any way. i did recently accidentally tell a family member so im praying that they forget. but pls just keep it secret

Don’t tell anyone except for your wife. Unless your gf/bf really serious relationship that will lead to marriage. Other than that, you just working in retail. Less than 5% will be making money long term in trading. Even before that, majority will lose money until they manage to find their own strategy and edge that works for them. If you have a job, stick to your job and only trade when possible.
