    So starting Monday i\'ll be trading on a simulator and will continue posting my trades. I also want to try trading NQ and see if it will be better suited for my style.

    Ammo, RedNeck, Mark, have I ever offended you? who are the people I offended, please let me know.

    the only people I told to get lost are one person who told me to stop the journal. And maybe emg, but that is a separate case and I was very nice about it, because we have different trading methods his advice wouldn\'t do me any good. Otherwise I believe I was nice to all the posters. So do point out where I\'ve offended anybody.

    and of course now everybody will tell me that I\'m defensive, but I\'m merely trying to understand what you people mean.

    I was posting my trades trying to implement the suggestions that I\'ve found useful. The point of the journal is not to please everybody but to improve my trading, so I really don\'t understand the personal attacks.

    Yes, I believe I have ego problems, but that doesn\'t mean that I was offending posters. Please people who are offended come forward so we can figure out our issues.

    Quite the opposite, I\'ve found many postings helpful, but not all, as it is obviously impossible and thank many of the posters for the contribution. I\'m really wondering now how did I set off people like that?

    Ammo, what\'s your beef?

    i read about the first 12 pages last weekend and then skipped to the end,saw that you weren't using your ears, walked away, go reread your posts,you are hanging on to your ego and defending it, remember ,none of these people will ever meet you, you can be as naked as you like,expose your ego, you already have, now let it go, apologize like red said,no one you actually know will know,try it ,it's a type of letting go....it's a useless tool once your fed ,clothed and have a roof over your head,don't over use it..."so i really don't understand" is denial,a lie/\...."the point of this journal is not to please everybody but to improve my trading"..."THE POINT"...every one is telling you about your ego...we all had to go thru it to morph into traders...you can hang on to it for as long as you like ,like a baby' pacifier,but if you want to trade,you need to lose it...until then all the advice in this thread is falling on deaf ears

  9. Exactly. Fear of losing is ego protection at its finest.
