  1. Done for today. Not too bad. I lost - 552 but that's only with one contract. I could have lost a lot more. The other side did pretty well, up 250. I'm sad that it doesn't more closely track. I would switch to stocks but my TOS is delayed on stock data because my mom still won't give me money to fund my account. I'm like, I'm over 40 years old, I think I can handle it, but she won't listen. I'll just stick with the ES again, but later. Thanks for the feedback.

  2. Kim Jong Un,

    Lol, your post is pretty interesting, but funny.

    A few questions for you please:

    1. Why are you consistently losing money trading? Have you considered maybe sim trading a few weeks to build some confidence?

    2. Do you know if your trading produces consistent money over XXX amount of trades?

    3. Is it emotions that's making you lose money?

    4. What do you think the problem is?

  3. I don't think there's a problem. You have to embrace who you are and not be afraid to be yourself. Not everyone can constantly lose for over 10 years. Consistently losing is a skill.

    Well considering your name is Kim Jong Un, I don't know why you bother to trade to make money. Just sell one of your nuclear warheads and you would have all the money in the world. :)

  7. It's true. Today I decided to test how it worked if someone traded against me, I've never had such a successful day. If it weren't for fills, it would have been spectacular. I'm going to see if it works tomorrow. I'm also going to pick some stock trades. I've never felt so free in my life. I feel like I've come out of the closet or something.

    I bet there aren't many traders who consistently make good money trading the S&P minis or currencies on a retail level.
