You are right. I should look at my situation as "starting new" I checked out the document you pointed me to. I do not feel as if I am an...
Actually, I very rarely trade right when the numbers come out. the number coming out usually creates a momentum day. I tend to trade like half...
I get your point. I need to focus on capital preservation at this point. Thanks for your comments. I appreciate it very much. I'll definitely...
Nothing like kicking a man while he's down. Very funny indeed
I think you may be on drugs
My plan is to trade the economic numbers. That is basically what I've been doing. On slow days, usually mondays, I use basic support and...
That's what I've been doing all along. I found that with 40-lots, there was no wiggle room so I had to be right on target every time i put a...
lol. I think I've learned my lesson on that one. Having the experience of losing in the way in which I did, I don't think that I will ever let...
You are awesome man. My problem is number 1 and number 3. I tend to let my losses ride just as much as I let my profits ride. I have to learn to...

Thanks so much for that. Telling me that you don't think I'll make it is not very inspiring but I get your point. I hope too much. you are...
With $8000 left, it would be quite a comeback if I were to make it all back. I only have to make $500 per day for two months straight. Right now...
I was trading while I was out of my mind. I simply didn't want my $5000 that I had made in february to become a $500 loss. Well, that $5000 gain...
Thanks. I need cool down periods after losing periods. I've discovered this to be a fact too.
I'm hoping that I will open myself up to the same extent of sucess as I have done for failure. (i.e. I've lost $30,000 in a month and one day hope...
You make a lot of good points. I'm hoping that I'll one day make 7 times more money than you ever did too. If I lose this money I'll have to go...
I forgot to mention that I made that $5000 trading 6 lots. I lost $2000 and got pissed off. It is then that I started trading 14 lots, then 24...
Thanks a lot you all. The one thing I've learned from my own pitiful experience is that trading size is not the answer when you are losing money....
