Pressure getting to me

Trading is often about how to take the appropriate risk without exposing yourself to very human flaws.

I recall his location was a town in the UK.

I wasn't going to mention Bristol in case he's in hiding but it's there now. ;)

The search engine on here works pretty well when hunting for info which is why newbies posting queries on here should be a bit more resourceful and use it.

8bo is quite knowledgable. Appears the university education was a priority, with trading being an option. Can always return to it after a break with a fresh perspective.

No he's from Bristol, nice lad always willing to help people out. I'm sure it will turn around for him.

I had an email from him about 6 months ago saying he was skint and really in need of an income. Like so many he started this needing money fast and don't have deep enough pockets. Nice guy but even the smart ones can get seduced by how easy it all looks on YouTube.

Probably the most common mistake starting out, staking too big too soon

Shame if he's out of the game for whatever reason, temporarily or permanently, I think his quality posts were the main reason why I started getting involved on the forum more, big loss for the community overall.

Afaik he was doing well for years but maybe got a bit complacent in the end without saving up much, if that's the case I've seen that happen to quite a few people first hand. Comfortably full time for a few years but then get stuck in that comfort zone without any progress so the edge starts weakening. Could have easily happened to me if I didn't wake up in time, it's one of the more subtle pitfalls out there so it's easy to miss.

But he can pick up where he left off at any time though, even in 10 years time, and he will still probably be one of the younger traders out there :D Would be a big shame anyway wasting those amazing years being glued to the ladders all day.
