i think they need an age requirement for this forum. altho i agree with some of the comments it seems that not many people are doing so well to give non constructive criticisms. we all know how many of the huge names out there made it, emptying their life savings and going bankrupt. everyone has a dream, and the right to try to realize it. some not as soon as others but its a stage we all go thru. wonder how many years of trading experience this 17YO kid has. hes trying and hes trying hard and i give him 100% credit for it. the toughest traders that last over a long time are the hard knocks and u know it
So you're saying, because of my age, what I said was impertinent? Everyone else on this thread except for you said the same thing I did, but because of my age I'm wrong? People have given this guy constructive criticism and he insults them; don't act like he's the victim. He's proven himself too stubborn for anyone's help. If that wasn't apparent through the countless $700 refunds of his account, then I don't know what the word stubborn really means. It's not a stage we all go through (you spelled that wrong by the way). I didn't go through it. I don't blow up my account. In fact, I actually end the year with profits (WHOAH!) Experience is second to mentality and personality in importance in the success of trading. So don't condescend because of my age, because regardless of my experience, I haven't burned up thousands of dollars playing the e-mini slot machines.
Your 17. Stop acting like you've got it all figured out. You've been trading for what? Three months? With your arrogance, I would bet money that you will be wiped out before you even know what happened. On a side note, I read in another thread that Jinxu is now selling financial advise or trading calls or something on a website of his. The definition of snake oil.
' I've been trading for about two years. I made a 30% return this year, how about you? See, the thing is, I'm actually not arrogant. That's the entire basis of my criticism towards Jinxu is his arrogance, if you would read what I said. I'm smart enough to know I don't know everything and I'm far from a great investor. It doesn't however mean you should insinuate and condescend just because I'm younger. Don't project your anger on me just because you're a washed up, pissed off trader that failed as well, trying to bring everyone else down on this forum as well (see, I can make generalizations too! )
I've been trading for about two years. I made a 30% return this year, how about you? I'll be wiped out? I diversify and allocate my assets in small increments, including high cap blue chips, gold, and and non cyclical companies. I don't see much arrogance and chance to "be wiped out" there.

"thru" is an acceptable variant of the spelling and has been in use since the 1800's: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/thru Just because you are studying for your SAT's is no excuse for you to be a dick, so don't. Oh Wait...too late.
lol, you know, after a while, I have to step back and laugh. You people really like rolling around in the shit throwing don't you?
I don't really understand this last line. Okay, you got me. I wish I had the boldness to talk like I was from the Romanticism movement.
the old saying goes everyone wants to be smart, everyone wants some ass but no one likes a smart ass i graduated from a top 5 school nation wide for my program so dont try teaching me how to spell i can call u biach for all i want its how i like to spell its a forum FFS
You graduated from a top 5 nation school? You sound like a big shot. It's pretty funny though, how someone as great and as smart as you ends up arguing with a teenager on a forum about the generally accepted form of the word "through". No, you're a very high class, respectable person. I guess you told me.
