Hi everyone, I really need advice on trading from people who are kind enough to provide it. I kindly ask people who are not profitable traders to stay away from this thread. i really need some help on daytrading, i ask the non profitable traders to STAY AWAY from this thread, I Don't need it! I 've teaching myself daytrading for awhile, check out youtube and bing for some tutorial videos, bought a few courses , NOTHING WORKS what is going on here? I've tested many methods, momentum, reversals, support and resistance, I backtested strategies , at first work but with real money ALL loses money, I Don't get it! why does it make money in simulation but lose money with real money???? I don't want to brag but I feel like i understand the whole market BUT I lack the tools and speed that big investors have, I lack the CAPITAL. I'm at the point where I just need some investors to BACK my method, give me the capital to make this all work where it hasn't，is there a way to make money without this much capital or tools like chart analyzing or trend trading? thank you in advance xoxo

What a year it has been. I put my life savings into pypl at the start of the year and it only goes down!! But I wasn't that worried cuz I said I'd hold for a year and it'll break even... well, it's almost a full year and pypl is still down 60% YTD!! What's most concerning is the fact these last two days after the FED talked, every fintech SQ,AFRM,COIN,SOFI are all up 9% aswell as every tech stock meta,nflx, etc. But PYPL IS LITERALLY UP 0%!!!! WHYYYYY?? What should I do?

I'm trying to think how to position myself for the new yea. I'm not convinced large cap tech and blue chips will be my best option. I've heard some analyst suggest moving into either defensive stocks and commodities. Just wanna get a feel for what others are planning to do
