    SwiftTrader,

    I've posted this one before, and then I received tons of "thank you" messages. I guess automated trading is your only solution at this stage. Try the link below, more and more traders are starting to use it these days, and claim they're making good money with it. I hope the $300 aren't gone yet :)

    Sounds like you have a method, you're profitable (must have paid a huge amount of commissions), and have lots of time. Sounds like your in the top 10% already. All you need is discipline and you're there. That should be your goal now, iron discipline, the last rung on the ladder. Avoid "playing" with your profits. They're so difficult to pry out of the market and so easy to give back. They're much better spent on vacations, cars, mortgage payments, charity, etc.. Try to think of trading as a boring job and don't look for excitement in it. If you want excitement take some of your profits and go skydiving or rock climbing, or buy an airplane, whatever.

  8. It was nice if you traded the heydays. It's rough now (as most know). But if Swifttrader has enough to keep him set for the next 20 + years, why bother fighting this market for the big gains he feels are necessary to make it worth his time, gains that are extraordinarily difficult to achieve?

    If something isn't working, then change it. I felt the same way as you do earlier this year, so I got my S7 and joined Bright. Recently I have been making just as much as I did a couple years ago. I couldn't do it without a prop firm. It's time to give Don a call :p
