It is puzzling. The Market changes but does so gradually over time. If you were in tune with the market you would have changed with it and adapted.
I can help you if you have wisdom to understand these words of mine I can not predict future my accuracy is 50/50 so ask yourself why am I successful answer these questions slowly and you won't have to work for a salary pure and simple
Theme song for all the "I Quit" threads here at ET....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MI24HgwK4m0 :eek:
I hear you keep referring to trading as an addiction. This clearly is an indication that you have lost all psychological and emotional control. I think it is best for you to follow your heart and quit. As Ed Seykota always says - we get from the markets what we want from the markets. http://www.seykota.com/tribe/TT_Process/index.htm Find yourself once again... the markets may have changed, though likely not that much... you have likely changed... far too much. Take some time for reflection and introspection. Take a vacation - work a different job... do what your heart tells you. All the money is great - but as you have come to realize - there are far more important things than JUST money. Good luck to you... The markets will always be there if and when you find yourself ready to trade again.
Wipe those tears and take up something else.....Like hustling golfers... Can you bowl good? Hustle bowlers ...Lot of $$$$ to made there and no stress at all...Fun actually...
Sounds like your initial investment of $5000 is at least $60,000 now, plus you spent a whole lot. Is that correct? If so what's the problem?

Well at least you could say you did it once and that's better than being able not to succede at all. Most people that open trading accounts don't know what there doing and never succede. Consider yourself lucky that way and good luck with your next career.
