    I think the OP just wants to get some perspective and tips and pointers from traders who's in the similar situation as he is and might have gone through what he's about to go through.

    He generated plenty of ET traffic though. LOL

  2. Exactly. This is why I recommended to give it up. You'll have a better life. If you believe you can't make it back, then you won't give it up.

    He's probably just "barely" profitable. Maybe something like 10% at best. If his wife was to take away half his trading account, then it would severely reduce his ability to make a living. I tend to assume everyone is part of the 95% until proven wrong. So this is my most optimistic viewpoint.

  4. And this is the rub: that's a legit argument which can't be made until you get in front of a judge which itself costs thousands of dollars. So either way you'll lose some portion of capital. The question whether capital is more important to you than time.

    whoa dude...i may be ole fashioned but you mean to tell me the wife and kids are the boss in your home? So you just run around and do whatever they tell you to do? If a screaming kid wants ice cream at midnight you gonna jump up out of bed and serve him? In my house that youngin gonna get something else and it won’t be ice cream...thats for sure..

    This is going to drive this already off-topic thread (according to @HobbyTrading) to be further off-topic but I don't think the success rate of trading is only 5%. That % is just too low otherwise the entire financial industry wouldn't exist because they would be in the 95% losing majority. :p

    If a kid is waking up at midnight wanting ice cream, he would be going to the hospital first, something is not right. LOL Another off-topic driving post. :(

  8. Above, Or:

    Transport your wealth you created, to a location where it remains yours.

    Today, this is done as follows:

    1. Buy bitcoin
    2. Sell bitcoin futures
    3. Put bitcoin on USB
    4. Flee to a non-reciprocating jurisdiction
    5. Unwind 1 & 2
    6. Continue trading
    7. Realize it's a tropical paradise, and your living costs are lower

    It used to be that this was done by sticking diamonds up your aSS. Butt no longer. And with a tighter bid / aSSk spread. Yes. A practical use for bitcoin. Who would have thought, Bitcoin is the patriarchy.

    Location options (non reciprocating jurisdictions that ignore western /overweight feminist law) are generally Thailand, Vietnam, or UAE countries - basically all countries where women do not get to vote.

    If I were doing it again, this would be the plan.

    8. Taunt her with Facebook photos.

  9. Why would you sacrifice your own freedom of movement for a woman? That's the same as being married. You fucked up, you married someone you will divorce. Destroy her, destroy yourself, or move on. Too many people choose the destructive options. Including my ex-wife. Just move on beeyotch.

  10. I know a doctor who was married for 40 years. After the last child graduated university and got employment, he packed a suitcase, left everything to his wife. Happiest fucker I know (of course, making $30K/month probably helps...) The wife had NO avenue or reason to chase him.
