    If you ever consider a position outside of trading I think you would do real well as a fiction/non-fiction writer. You certainly got me and a lot of other folks plugged in and know how to tell a story. As Mark Twain said:

    "Truth is stranger than fiction because fiction has to make sense".

    Good luck in whatever you do.

    gordon gekko, how do you support yourself? with 2000 you cant be making money to survive and how the heck do you have a car whose depreciated value as of now is $16,000?



    do you live with your parents?



    Bro you should learn some money management skills. A guy whose trading with 2k shouldnt be driving a expensive car. You should be driving a 5k car at max.

    I know this horse has been beaten to an unrecognizable bloody pulp on the side of the road waiting to be picked up by the local tallow company, but, GG, dude, you need to get your head right. You may have the know-how, but you're way off on the psychological part. There, I've said it. Thank you...drive through.

    As you say you living from trading. Can you please tell me what is the biggest contributing factor to this achievement? Is it discipline or persistence or what?
    How much capital we talking about here to be able to do this, beside my first question?

    Thanks, Hun

    You started it. What did you expect? I suspect you do this to get your feelings validated by like-minded people. If so, that just proves that you're not psychologically fit for trading. Your actions are akin to trolling for tips.

    Good luck. You're going to need it because you don't have much else.
