Thanks for telling your story. Perhaps it will motivate other would-be traders to give up and get a life. But you and I are stuck here. As I tell people who ask me why I do it: "What else was there for me to do at the end of a mediocre career?" It is appalling that it took (at least us) so long to "get it." But having gotten it, and acquired the calm of system trading, I see subtle shit now that absolutely astonishes the old newbie me watching from inside. Best of luck to you on your trading regime change.
Dude, one year to refund your account each time is too slow. You should consider an other broker IMO...
Trade-eater, it's tough to raise cash when your only source of income is recycling fingernail clippings.
