poorboy, 'Experts' don't do paper money trading. If you are proud of your skills, then keep going. You won't do any money but at least will be proud of yourself.
mah, the OP does not even deserve a reply, making money paper trading and showing off, ego problem? bah...
I have had real trades that are up 3,4,500% with in weeks. Never my whole account, I can not control my risk and do that
Yes, I'm a bit jealous of your youth and exuberance, but not your trading skill. My youth went long ago, but my skill remains. I only make 20-30% per year, but I've been enjoying that since 1984. Before that, I had your youthful enthusiasm, but alas, no profit.
You are so good with paper trading that you make money over the weekend? WOW! by the way, I am pretty happy with my real money gains, day in, day out. Nothing stellar but enough to live by (I am full time trader) and then some. Good luck
Paper trading is for children. It's similar to playing monopoly and thinking you're a real estate tycoon. No difference. If it's real, sell your Hyundai for trading capital, with your profits buy a Bentley, Cigarette boat, and a house in SOBE. But you can't even afford a Hyundai. lol
poorboy: you really need to change your handle. What would it take for you to trade live? and from how much ? Why are you not trying The combine ?
The Combine is all about risk management: he'd be wasting his time (and money) with that for the reasons mentioned in post #8 on the first page.
