I don’t know how you do it. My sister has 4 kids and she’s so busy and tired all the time. But her husband isn’t as supportive + plus her in-laws are toxic. So I think those make a huge difference. Thankfully she doesn’t live with the in-laws anymore, but it’s still very hard for her. I worked full time and I used to be so tired by the time I would get home. I would just fall asleep. I had 12hrs+ shift at work and the commute would take 2-3 hrs more. When you say you work 8-9 hours, are you counting the commute hours? Commute would make me more tired than the work many times lol.

Not having a supportive husband and toxic in-laws on top of that would make a world of difference...of course she is going to be tired....but hats off to her.....she is doing a far more difficult job than any of us can do....like I said....I wouldn't even have been able to do one job with having a supportive husband...although my husbands job is more tiring than mine......hopefully things will start getting better as her kids get older...

8-9 hours is just work...2 hours of commute time besides that....luckily I have to go to office only 3 days and 2 days I work from home...my work starts at 6:30 AM so usually I am done by 3:30 PM ...and back home by 4:30 on the days I have to go to work. I drive and I don't mind driving so its OK commute for me...although Dallas traffic sucks...u won't believe it but I have been stuck in traffic jam at 6 in the morning at times...😆

Also the part time work is from home...so that helps...wouldn't have taken up the 2nd one if I had to commute.

12+ hours shift and 2 to 3 hours of commute on top of that.😲....girl that would have killed me...😒

Stop loss scares me too. I actually did few trades without knowing anything about trading last year as I had just discovered Long and Short. I was very curious, excited and tried those without knowing anything about trading. Sometimes I would get lots of profit and then I would get greedy for more profits and keep holding the trades for more and then it would stop me out. Or, I would get loss but keep holding hoping for recovering while the loss would keep increasing. I was basically gambling and trying trades without know what and how to do trading, and many times I wouldn’t even put a SL. After I lost some money, I was like I need to be serious and can’t do this anymore. I then asked someone I knew who was a trader and did it for a living. She then set me up and gave me the file for ICT core content as it was still a private mentorship at the time. I started watching and studying since then. Because of that loss experience I then got a fear of loss a bit. But it’s getting lessened ever since I saw how I was stopped out very few times compared to the win trades I had on demo. I was rarely stopped out. So going over that, I now put the SL and much better thankfully. The studying and practicing for months and then doing demo for months have helped me. You should study and take notes first and keep testing to practice the concepts on tradingview. Then do demo for few months until you are profitable but treat your demo account like a real trading account and take trades. These all will help and only then try live trading. Also, I forgot tradingview does have an app for Apple and Android too.

Yeah, my work shifts were crazy. I used to be so exhausted. At one point, I was working 3 jobs on 7days/week. I don’t know how I did those all those now when I think about it. But I guess I needed the pay I was getting + the work hours for my studies. I can’t do that anymore. I won’t say ever as one never knows what life throws at one. I know I would have to if there’s an emergency and I really need to. But other than that, no way, I am going to do that again lol

My full time job requires full concentration for 8-9 hours....so can't mess up there...

My part time job is 1-2 hours a day....and I took it up when my kids were a little older......and I just multi task.......I am cooking, cleaning, working and blabbering away on forums at the same time😆....Motherhood is all about juggling and multitasking sweetheart....😆....you will learn it......let the second baby arrive...😆...Plus the most important thing is u need a very understanding and supportive husband..❤️...I couldn't have managed without my husband having my back all the time..❤️

Thank you for the encouragement. Learning each day

I am glad you don’t have to commute the other two days and can get back home before 5pm. That’s better and more manageable at least. I dislike the 5days work culture. I am for 4days/week maximum work. It’s especially hard for women with kids to just have 2 day weekend off and then one doesn’t know if they should do laundry, deep clean the house or go out with family somewhere in those mere two days off. We need 3 days/week off. Traffic is crazy. It’s so bad at my state too.

As I get older I value time so much more. I wish I had more time to spend with family. I agree work should only be 3-4 days a week and rest of the time we should be able to spend with our families and attend to our domestic needs. Unfortunately everything costs more these days and people are struggling even working 2 jobs.

As someone else mentioned before, zerodha varsity app is a good place to start for the beginners. You can also access those tutorials on the zerodha varsity channel on YouTube.

About the app for demo training (with bucks) i have no idea. Moneycontrol app has this feature i think but i didn't try it.
