Okay guys, here is the deal.
I have no real clue about trading and I got involved with the stock market on brexit day. I traded the stuff that seemed obvious to me, using my house bank (and paying its ridiculous fees).
I shorted DAX. I got some ABX shares & bought some gold.
I waited for volkswagen and a few other DAX companies to drop,then jumped in and watched them rebound with a smile.
I have made close to €8.000 in profit trading on what I thought was right in the brexit aftermath.
Then I did nothing before I decided to take a good part of my trading profits to buy 25 nintendo shares on wednesday. They are up by €40 per share now, and I am currently considering to take my €1.000 profit and calling it a day.
That would add up to a total of about €9.000 in profit for 3 weeks of "trading" which took me a maybe 10 hours of my time.
My whole life has been a lie. I have spent so much time being a wage slave that making so much money (it is A LOT for me, a quarter of my yearly income) with so little effort is simply stunning.
My question is this guys: Have I been simply very lucky`? Or is this what trading is all about? Using what you feel to be "obvious" and just going for it? Has that amount of predictability just been a rare thing because of the brexit?

You take the risks, you take the rewards man. The risk is the exact opposite hitting you all at once. One day you are going to short a brexit and for some ****ed up reason that stock is going to soar for some strange reason. Then you will just shrug it off, say "it happens" and move onto the next thing. Then that next thing will also go screwball, and you'll be down $9000 in three weeks. But if you are smart, it will happen very, very infrequently.

>Have I been simply very lucky`?
To some degree, but that doesn't mean you can't consistently profit, just that you shouldn't expect it to always go this way.
>Using what you feel to be "obvious" and just going for it?
There's a lot more to it than that. Countless times, things will happen that you can't explain, and sometimes what you saw as a no-brainer becomes a loss.

I actually was in the same position as you, started out and earned 7k€ in the first month.
It's a mix of luck and "it's so easy, just buy the dip"
Now the other question is, will you be able to hold, maximize or lose your gains?
Use your brain and your intuition and everything will be fire.
Good luck to you, brother

Protip: you aren't trading. The guy clearing your orders is trading. You are investing.

You have the balls to make decisive decisions and make rewards from luck. Many people do not have that courage to do the first part so they can't benefit from the second.
Thanks for your comments guys! So far I have been doing okay. really intriguing stuff, I'll devote more of my time to it.

Here, let me.be your totem. I also invest and some times I do good and other times not so good and it hasn't really changed my life in any material way.
Now THERE'S a believable story.
How can someone from a shitty country like Brazil invest in foreign stock?
I know much more about foreign companies and stocks since I'm always on American news sites and 4chan.
Good Job OP,
If you want to invest in volatile markets like crypto, first read some Threads about it. And a small tip: invest in TrumpCoin.

You're probably lying or at least exaggerating. I don't see what you're trying to shill though. If you just want recognition from some anons, "congrats kid, you did alright for a newbie. This is a dog eat dog world. It'll chew you up then cum on your mother. Stay sharp and focus and you'll keep having success kid. I see potential in you. Stick with me I'll show you the ropes.
