    Sup fellas.  Tommy I've been day trading for about 5 years now.  Not full time or anything but I spend about 2 hours or so a day on it from around 9-11 and again at close.  I mostly swing trade different stocks for a few weeks or so in a variety of sectors.  I've used a few platforms and Fidelity is the only one I use now, and I recommend it to everyone.  Do not use Robinhood.  All the brokers have free trades now so go with a solid company (i.e. NOT robinhood lol).  Download Active Trader Pro on your computer and use that.  Don't trade from your phone.

     

    Anyhow if you have any questions I've been a student of trading for quite a long time and can give plenty of advice/recommendations.  I had a bunch of friends that recently got into trading in the last few months with the GME/AMC stuff and helped them avoid some major fuckup ideas they had in their heads lol.  

     

    Also if you want to drink from a firehose, Stocktwits is a fantastic app.  It's like twitter for stocks.  Just take everyone's posts with a grain of salt.  You'll eventually find traders to follow who know what they're doing.  Easily 90% of the people on there are morons typing out rocket ships and diamond hands and all that crap, but you can learn a ton from the other 10% because you're seeing active opinions on whats happening and what their game plan is (not youtube videos where people monday morning quarterback).  It's a great place to find opportunity, but then it's your job to do your DD and understand why you are investing and when to enter/exit.

     

    My best general rule is to always enter a stock with 1/3 of the position you want.  If you want to gamble $1k on a particular stock, enter with $333.  Add another 1/3 on 5% dips until you get your full position.  If it doesn't dip, maybe average up along the way but never look back and say I wish I had put more in.  Thats what rookie traders do because they have no discipline.  They also go full in out of the gate and if it drops 10-20 percent they're left holding big bags instead of the traders who give themselves opportunities to average down with the same amount of invested capital.  Always ease into a position.

     

    I learned the hard way like every new trader does, and it took a long time before I found my style and actually started making money.  I could go on for days but if you have any specific questions shoot em over. 

     

     

     

    Thank you.  This is what I was hoping to find!  I'll be picking your brain for sure.  Right now, I don't know what I don't know.

    I'm still learning, I'm by no means an expert.  I've been having fun learning.  I just noticed more and more of my friends getting into it, so I started picking their brains.  I asked questions for about a month before I took the plunge. 

     

    I remember @Diddums talking about bitcoins and mining quite a while ago, not sure if he's still involved or not.

    Do any of you guys trade bitcoins or stocks?  I'm just getting into it recently.  I've got 3 or 4 friends who just started to so we are all learning together.  I'm not doing anything crazy, just putting a little money into bitcoins and stocks, nothing that will hurt me if I lose it all.  Right now I'm using Coinbase for my bitcoin trading and tomorrow I'm planning on using Webull for stocks.  I'm not 100% sold on Webull because they don't do fractional shares.   Should I go with Robinhood or something else?  I'll be starting the stock trade portion tomorrow.  

     

    Thoughts? 

     

    Anyone else?

    I watched a few videos last night and I can see how it would be fun, but I just don't think it's my thing.  I may hang onto it and see what becomes of it since it's still early access.  I heard the developers had 3-5 players in mind when creating it, so I doubt I'll really get into it much.  I haven't really been a social gamer in quite some time, probably since CoD / Destiny 1 days.  I'm around people all day at work and then at home with my family.  As an introvert, games are my time to have some me time.  

     

    I appreciate the feedback fellas.

    Alright, so I might get some hate for this... but I don't like this game.  I thought it looked cool a while back.  Then, everyone started playing it on here, so I thought I'd go ahead and pick it up.  I played it for about 30 minutes tonight before I had to leave for work.  The controls suck, the graphics suck, and I didn't really have any fun at all.  I don't get the hype.  What am I missing?  

     

    Seriously considering returning the game on Steam.  

    Assassins Creed Black Flag, worth getting?

    For me, it's probably the last traditional AC game and a good one at that. It was given away for free on PC a couple of years back so I grabbed it again after originally getting it for PS4. It's a bargain bin title now but still a great purchase. The game isn't bloated with generic quests like you get with Origins and Odyssey and the world isn't needlessly over-sized. There were no XP boosters back in those days either so the gameplay framework Ubisoft provide is much more satisfying and not designed around greed.  

    I got it free on PC a while back too but have never played it.  All of this talk is making me want to play it.  

    Clash of Clans...are you interested?

    I can't stand mobile games. There, just thought I'd share that happy fact. 😅

    Oh yes, and please ask @JsinOwl to come to the forum and say hello. He's missed and he'd find a nice bunch of newbies he hasn't met yet🙂

    I sent him a message on Whatsapp to let him know what you said.  I'd love to have him back on the forum.  I'd like to see him and Bart both return.  😕  

    LAN world question

    in Minecraft

    Posted

    I created a single player world and opened it up to LAN.  It was done on my PC.  

    My daughter successfully joined the LAN world on her PC.  

    Your last statement is correct.  He can only join if one of us are on first.  He is using his PC.  

     

    Thanks for your help.  I'd love to figure this out.
