    To all the useless posters: thanks for nothing.


    To all the guys who gave meaningfull advice, thank you. From overall what everyone said, I think the best thing to do is to learn a new market (like forex or futures) and just keep equities on the side.

    Seriously, thanks.

    I care. I am pretty competitive and usually motivated, so I feel anxious/highly nervous when I am no longer doing something new, challenging, and difficult. I can't stand stagnation.

    Why not increase your contracts. You are crushing the Sp500 now, so double up. If you make $10,000/day aim for $50,000 - or whatever level makes it interesting.

    Have an extravagant lifestyle, new house, new car, new girls and give some to charity that will motivate you. :D

    To anyone else out there who is feeling similarly, I found a great quote that puts things in perspective.

    "When you're behind don't give up and when you're ahead don't let up!"
