The best advice you will get is to engage actively and positively on the forum, and you will be rewarded with merit. Just have something real to give to the forum, and you might be lucky enough to earn a merit like the one you earned from your local board a few hours ago.

There is one statement I came across in this forum: "Don't chase merit; make quality posts and allow merit to chase you." Some local boards are also good at helping one another, especially when they see you contributing actively to your local board.
 
My advice: Look for that area where you can be productive and start making organic posts there; genuinely, don't try to outsmart anyone in the name of chasing merit, as that might land you into trouble.

I spoke to a tutor who teaches trading, and he said for his lectures, he teaches for an extended period of nine months for anyone who wants to learn trading from him. Please I like to read the personal experience of some traders here, how long did it take you to learn to trade profitably, and what was the hardest thing to learn? did it take you weeks, months or years? Do you think that trading can be learnt well in a short time like three weeks for a quick trader? Can someone who is a proffesional trader just go straight to the point pointing out what is needed to make a successful trader to a newbie to learn quickly?

I think we the newbie here should be conversant with some trading terms here like CFDs, binance, indices, DIP and HODL and so one. I plead with some of our senior members here to create  threads that will educate us on this trading terms and acronyms and also the right techniques to follow in trading so that it will guide us during trading times. I know everything in life is about stages but it is important that we have a pre-knowledge of how trading works and how to follow the right concept.

If you must follow or use the services of trading signals which is not bad in itself you should do so smartly. By smartly, I mean that at the beginning it is all about following and understanding the thinking process behind those signals and learning everyday. If you insist on using them, do not do so blindly, validate each signal provider by putting in the work. Record their past four to six months' trades on a spreadsheet and check them on historical charts. After you have done this, you may now proceed to choosing the ones consistently in profit despite their losing trades. The advantage is that they will help you reduce your time spent in analysis. This is one of the best ways to make  use of or follow trading signals channels or services. What is your opinion?

Working from home has a lot of advantages ranging from the comfort it gives to the flexibility part of it and of course the financial benefit we get from it. Because of these things, we sometimes get carried away and pay little attention to the part of us that bears the serious effect of this work "that's the eyes".

Like safety people will put it " keep it simple, keep it safe" Wisdom demands that we, amid the comfort and goodies that comes with working from home, not forget the safety part which is a very vital part of the hustle.

Sometimes we will look at the screen for a very  long time and loads of water will drop down our eyes on a regular and headache will just come from Nowhere and sometimes our eyes will even swell up but we go just de fire down

For me, when e start to de worry me, I go just take small break for sometimes after which I continue with what I'm doing.

As we try to work safely and rightly, I would love to get your opinion on what you do when you start feeling pains in your eyes while working.

Would also want to know your experiences in terms of managing continuous exposure to screen light.

I the see people dey comment dey make posts about how bad the economy and country dey and some people dey even tok say nothing gud go fit com out again despite whoeva becom presido for we nation Naija.

a lot of tins just the make us loose focus on seeing say the beta change we dey cry and pray for e dey our hand and na only wen we Nigerians don really ready to take that change into our hands by all means necessary na then we fit start to see life for inside the Naija but till then na just so so from one level of sufa to anoda we go dey face till we decide to ready for de new beta change we de find from we gofment.

I know my country people, the typical Nigerian wen him put him mind in to do somtin he dey do am to the fullest to make sure him get wetin him dey hunger for. make we use cryptocurrency lik bitcoin for example. see as Nigerians enter the crypto market one hand inno even tey sef naw na we dey front for Africa and even for the world if them dey tok about 10 countries wey citizens dey actively involved for crypto Naija go follo for that too 10, na bcos we put our mind wit hunger to do well.

Na with same energy too if we all don really ready for a new beta Nigeria inno go take 2secs we go get the results coming. Na the powa of Naija be that but plenty of us neva start to mk use of that powa wen it com for gofment and politics na why we country Neva be as we want.
you sef reason am!

I had some scenarios of my stop loss being pushed down a little bit incurring  me more loss what could be the possibilities.

Trading is most times profitable and sometimes challenging to traders, but it can ruin you just as gambling if you don't know how before venturing into it,  I have had a handful of terrible experience while trading and I discovered that it can return you to square one in terms of your finances if precautions is not taken.

Though am a better trader now, but I still thred with caution,  the best way for newbie to navigate their way in the market is to buy and hold, then sell when the price goes up.
When it comes to future market, newbie should stay off because it's for experience traders, even if you run a poll of people to tell of their experience in trading in this forum, %80 of people will rule out trading as a no go area based on their terrible experience while trading.

So newbie, stay of trading futures if you know nothing about technical analysis or fundamental analysis for not to be ruined.

The way hunger dy land don double, price of rice is now worth more than the minimum wage of the country and people they really suffer, and by suffer I mean things they very hard because since in the past administration, we don dy complain say things don hard but as e be now, e be like say past government that we thought was bad is now fair as compare to wetin this government don showed us under 6 months wey dem don do for office.

This suffering reach everybody including people wey gather before, no citizens is left on this. Wetin I wan share with una be say na him be how we go take cope with wetin economy don be. As we fight back the government to make things better, we self go make sure say we get energy, dy Kampe ready for them because na who dy alive na him see tomorrow.

How can we adjust as a citizen of this country, here are my takes:

Go for quality and less cost products: The advantage of this is that it keeps you within your financial budget and the best way to go about this is to make a scale of preference when you want to buy something, make a list about quality products you want to buy and go for the one that is cheap in price. For instance, we know that the when it comes to electronic product, LG and Samsung product are very cost in this our country but there are more even high quality brand but because we always care about buying higher brand, we don't patronize the other brands. If you give some other products a trial, you will forget to use those most sort out brands, same with food products and other things we use at home.

Make you double your husle: Things no funny, I think practically everything wey dy this our country don double for price and if you must survive this and want to stay ahead of this prices, you need to also double your income. If you dy rely on source of income for this naija, e no go take you far, you need to look into other place to be able to overcome this cost of living.

Buy your food items in bulk and cook for yourself: Food vendors wey I know almost all of them has increased the price menu list of their kitchen and the other ones wey never increase has reduce the quantity of their food, so buying food now sef dy expensive and the only way to balance well for this time of economy na make you dy cook your self. Even if u no sabi, start am one day, you go improve with time and YouTube sef dy or make you invite your friends or babe to arrange am for you.
You can buy food once in a while and be doing the cooking most of the time, this way, you go fit dy save money.

Make use of public Transport: This one na for them ogas wey get Car, to fuel car now to go out is now like buying a goat to slaughter especially people that are use to fueling tanks and others that use high end engine that consume a lot of fuel, the only way to cut down expenses is to go for commercial or public transport which are cheaper compare to fueling a complete car.

Keep your savings off Naira: We want to help the economy by keeping our life savings in our local currency but it has been unstable for a while and as price of things increase, the purchasing power is coming down everyday; instead of keeping your money in Naira, convert them to foreign currency like dollar instead of leaving them idle. It's better they are converted and appreciate in value than doing nothing or decline further.

Above all, make sure you take care of your health, there is hard times for everyone because of bad governance but na our responsibility to stay health to see another bright day.

Okay, these two lines make me interested in reading it in detail. Sometimes, I ignore it when I see tutorial-type posts from newbies. There is a reason behind it. Most of them come into this forum and post AI-generated content to get some quick merits to rank their profile. It's nice to see someone genuinely interested in writing these things from themselves.


Hehe, this is one hundred percent real, bro. Not only trading but people have this idea about most of the online activities. People think it's easy to make money online, and everyone can do it. People think it's easy to make money from gambling, from Fiverr, from upwork without skills. I am one who makes some pocket money from the internet and people ask me why I don't teach them? They think it's super easy.

Hi everyone,

I am a newbie.

I started trading BTCUSDT P. and testing a 1 minute scalping strategy (including several indicators) at the moment.

So far... I don't manage to gain any profits from the trades that I did place lately. I do manage to win trades, but the issue is that the fees killing my profits!

I am wondering if you have any suggestions regarding the above?
Maybe I should move to longer timeframe and not scalping in order to make profits?

Many thanks
Mike  

Everyone knows that we can learn from the past to correct mistakes.
As a result, many economists attempt to predict the future through history.

We also have a known fact from the past.
The "Bitcoin halving" is correlated with price increases.

I'd like to pose a new question here.
What are your thoughts on using past charts(candlesticks) that similar current ongoing charts(candlesticks) to make price predictions?

When asked this question to many professors and investors, a common response is, "Candlesticks reflect the psychology of investors."

What are your thoughts on this matter?

The idea say "nobody really de reason you" don affect our girls negatively on a serious note

The majority of girls are just concerned about competing with themselves and will go as far as doing anything just to measure up with there fellow girls

You go see girl when never see better food chop with wig when de more expensive than her house rent all in the name of measuring up

Most of them no even de skilled and the only thing when them think say de reasonable for them to do na to go into hookup or date guys when de ready to pay for those frivolous expenses.

After we go hear say street boys don use them plus up and we go de blame those niggas when on a normal this girl no even wan help themselves.

I know say somehow, it's almost their nature now that they love to be spent on but the fact say so many of them don became very lazy and dependent on others de very bad

If you try see girl when no de into hookup and no de too compare you to her friends boyfriend, hold am strong oh! Her kind no plenty again for market.

I can still recall the good old days when one hundred naria can get you a plate of food, but look at our naira now, five and ten naira are totally useless, while five hundred naria can't get you a good plate of food.

As is stance now all our income is being invested into food, as if we only come to this life to eat food, because of the high cost of living.
I still don't know how dy want the common man to survive, and I also wonder how people without jobs are fairing, because even those with jobs are struggling massively.

Everyday price of things are increasing, fuel, kerosene and gas prices is too high, but we just can't do without them.

Today we are celebrating independence as if there is anything to celebrate for, the only thing worth celebrating is the gift of life.
Right now is just to hope and pray .

Anyway, na naija blood I be, E no get how e wan be wey e never be before, naija for life.

Good morning my people. I don dey think how ona wey dey this forum they take cope for this naija noisy environment. so I come they think of many things like!

Wife and children wahala
To stay for environment wey plenty children dey
Leaving close to school
Leaving close to the market
Leaving close to bear bar or any entertaining firm

Because most of us find ourselves in one environment or the other way dey disturb us, and e dey disturb your line of business (bitcointalk) some of this factor wey I list above they cause distraction. So I come dey ask ona to shear ona expirence and possible solution to this kind thing?

I That is what most traders who lost money don't understand,  This was practically what I was doing using a high leverage to trade when I started up as a newbie trader,  Actually non of those trades was in the money, sometimes I fuckinly increase the leverage to 50×,  and that was the worst time in my trading journey and the market fucked with me, got screwed back to back until I learn.

To be more profitable, Simply apply lower leverage be patient, and ride your account up slowly if have a working strategy.
