My Trading Journey - so far

PART 1

So I have had a lot of people message me lately mainly new investors asking for advice or what things mean etc so here’s where I’m at.

I started trading in March when lockdown started I have wanted to do it for ages & the time seemed right
PART 2

I started with 78k - not as one deposit i deposited 15k, bought a share then deposited more when i saw other shares i wanted to buy but in total i deposited 78k during march

My portfolio is now 153k and i have taken 50k out already so out of the 153k iv got 125k profit
PART 3

After getting caught out on spikes, big spreads, pump and dumps i decided to stop being lazy and actually learn a bit

I watched videos, read articles and spoke to @DDS_DocHoliday who was more than happy to help me figure out the basics, thats when i started doing well
PART 4

I am still learning daily, can’t read a chart to save my life and have just bought lse level 2 to try and understand the order book.

Guys i cannot stress enough the importance of learning and research and drowning out the twitter noise its the only way forward
PART 5

The reason i post my trades now is in the past i would see people talk about buying fortunes in a share... which i soon found to be BS

I liked the fact that Doc sometimes posted his buy receipts as it showed me proof that he had the confidence in a share that he claimed
PART 6

learn the basics, the spread & how it works, get live prices, learn about market caps, volumes and when you choose a stock read the last 30 RNS’ and don’t rush into anything

I will sometimes buy on a hunch but only because iv watched that particular co for a while first
PART 7

I am always happy to respond to messages but please dont treat it as financial advice or tips, i have had a good run lately but it could easily go tits up

Do your research, ask others for help if you don’t understand stuff and dont retweet false info it misleads others
PART 8

I hope this journey helps at least one person avoid gambling here and being spiked if so then its worth it because i know first hand that it sucks

Good luck all & be kind to each other we all want to make money here, no need to hate

Docs on holiday so dont bug him yet😂
FINALLY

Be skeptical, we all want to believe our shares are going to rocket but take everything with a pinch of salt and question everything.

Nobody goes broke banking profit so dont be too greedy that was my mistake last week and it cost me a LOT (damn you amigo 😭)
