    Just a heads up on this forum...You will be critiqued very hard on the things you have done right.

    People will want to know if it was a fluke or was/is it sustainable...

    It is paper trading, so it is irrelevant, doesn't count. It is over before it began. That is why my stupid paper-trading journal is in the psycho section, not in the trading or journal sections of this site.

    Fake is as fake does. It doesn't MATTER! It doesn't COUNT! It doesn't TRANSLATE to the REAL. Why do people not believe this?

    Here's the background music you will have in your head as you grapple with the differences between the sim and live.



    It happened to me today in sim. (Yes, I trade sim every day, looking for how I may trade what I see and how it would have worked in the real.) Today I was +450 bux scalping some longs. But I totally did not see the reversal at midday, and would up -950 bux at end of session.

    That music totally encapsulates what is going to happen to you and your mind, man.

    Dude, surey you can test a Strategy using paper trades. How else do you do it, if you aren't an AI programmer?

    LOL, try and buy something with your profits from a sim account. Or better yet... report your sim account profits to the IRS at the end of the year and see what they say! AHAHAHHAHAH
