Soon brother, very soon. I will be cautious, 6K to start 1 ES contract, test the waters sort of speak. Stay profitable 1 month and then I will bump it to 2 then after a month to 3 then the plan is to get 5 at a time and by the end of the summer deposit 50K and do it with 10 contracts. Granted all the months lading to the 10 cars must be profitable. In three weeks, it will be a year since one of my old pals gave mea copy of E signal with a month's worth of YM data. In about 3 weeks, I will find out if all this effort and studying will pay off. Wish me luck mate.
This is why I paper trade. After a big up day I got cocky, experimented with large lots, lost my shirt. -625, -752 com. Ouch
ok enough losses with the existing strategy..... see paper trading help me save my money on the wrong strategy... now I am going to research ( or use ) something totally different. I will keep ya posted. work to do over the weekend. happy trading
Time for me to take a break. Overall, I'm not happy with my performance. Plus I've been neglecting some important jobs. I'll be back with a fresh attitude when I'm ready. Trade on, dudes.
Hey, shutup about that. Trading is going to be a grueling process for the next 3 to 5 years. Maybe they'll figure out how to get more wins, for more money, than losses, maybe not. But no negative talk. I very serious about this ... it's like criticizing a toddler for not learning how to walk fast enough. Good trading, JJ
Well it looks like I better start posting again or there won't be a paper thread. It'll be embarrassing for sure but here it goes. See you at 3:30 to 4:00. Have a great day. JIM
Don't you see that I am in the same situtation - my posts is in this thread too? So, you shouldn't argue with me because I know precisely what they fight on the market.
