2011: Rebuilding My Battered Account

So what happened ?

 

I don't know. I can't wait for the next thrilling installment either...

 

Sorry to hear about this. If it was options, can't say you were not warned on this board earlier.

 

Options can blow up a account faster than Obama can raise the debt ceiling.

Neke, take some time off from trading before its to late.

 

That's not exactly saying much...

 

This journal started off with some well stated goals. I like how Neke did that. I think that a focus on break-even is never good though.

But, it would be good to know what happened in the meantime to his stated goals. A 13% goal to break even was very modest. It seems there was some disconnect with the stated goals and the way the trading was carried out.

I'm not going to offer advice to Neke. But, this is a good reminder for me to monitor my goals and my performance to ensure they are aligned.

 

Options are the only way to make real money... IF you have the direction right... Otherwise: lights out.

 

if you have the direction right you can make a shitload of money in anything....seriously what a stupid thing to say

 

On Tuesday..

You still had 3 days to turn a bad week into a good one.

Good Luck Neke!!

 

How does anyone know for sure neke is trading a real account? No real proof. sure everyone want's to believe. he posted a few pages back. " tragedy struck " What real trader would post that bs comment. You have to wonder now. just may be a poser telling stories about trading. Who would trade real money the way he does. it does not make sense. it's been said here before. It may be all smoke & mirrors. imo.
