    So Iv decided to give This Trading thing another try.
    I'm a reasonable person, so I have set my expectations at taking one single dollar a day from the market. I also watched some videos from a Mr Sykes and some other folks on youtube they make this seem very easy.
    So I found a broker I funded my account and loaded the platform.
    So the next day I began trading after a few hours, I finally decided on gdx.
    I entered my trade and thought it went through. turns out when I went to sell My account wasn't really funded yet. So i Never enetered anything but an inside joke.
    I also tried to enter df at about 18.31 but again you know .. I went to the broker
    client not allowed to trade. Ha ha I got it squared away,so I vowed this morning i would awake and re enter df at the open ..
    Well after verifying deposits, 9 am alarm comes I go back to sleep and awake at about 1300. Df is back up and I'm SoL. Even though its late in the day I tell myself I can do this. I watch Jd and IntEL. I look at Jd and Think short so I try to short , baaamm
    No can do I cant short i opened a cash account, my bad ilchange it. I try to adapt and place an lmt order far below where i think it will go . Bam reality . I lose 3 dollars.
    cuz I couldnt short and tried to adapt . Intel meanwhile is in some sort of battle il wait and see I may get my 3 dollars back.
    All in all not so bad I should be up about 130, due to my own fault and money logistics.
    Luckily im only down 3dollars. plus they gave me a hundred for opening and free trades so in a weird way im up 97 dollars and i still got free trades.
    Il be Posting My stuff every so often I hope maybe you will find it inspirational.
    Technical difficulties put aside , I'll think achieve my goal of at least one dollar a day.
    Regards
    Ken

    I never lost any savings in the market. This could be a first time .? Your right it is my money now :)
    In fact Id rather Trade with your Money.
    Are you offering me some sort of alleviation of my dollar losing woe's ?
    Trading OPM seems like a better deal for me .
    Either way I'm staying optimistic and unemotional . It's just's a dollar right.
    Thanks for your offer.

    Dear market diary
    Looking at the level 2 screen I was hypnotized the people and algo's all seemingly dancing together. It's like some btiful mystery revealed in an amazing flickering light show.
